Chapter 5: A Meeting and a Hard Decision

Instinctively Jake put his arms around Lily. 'Oh my god, what is the bad news?' Clearing his throat, he said, "And exactly what is the bad news, Edward?" Jake then realized that Lily had gripped his arms tightly. "Lily, could you please release my arms? Its starting to hurt." Lily didn't respond. "Lily?" Jake said in concern. He tried to look at Lily, but he couldn't.

Finally after a few minutes, Lily said, voice quavering in fear, "Hurry, please tell us." She held her breath and pressed her back into Jake. "Oh, please tell us, hurry." Lily pleaded.

Jake gave Edward an exasperated look. Edward finally complied, and said, "Your targets." Lily's legs wouldn't hold her up, and if it weren't for Jake, she would have ended up landing on the hard ground. Before Jake or Lily could say anything, Edward continued. "I found this tapped to your locker Jake." Edward pulled something out of his back pocket. He unfolded it and turned it to show his friends. Neither Jake, nor Lily was prepared for what had been written on the paper.

DAMN YOU! MAKING LIFE A FUCKING HELL.

LEAVEORELSE; SUFFER THE CONSECQUENCES.

WE WILL MAKE LIFE PURETORTURE. YOU WILL BE THREATNED, AND IF THAT DON'T WORK, HOW ABOUT GETTING BEATEN…OR WORSE?

Jake froze when he read the threat. 'Is this all because of Lily and me, together?' Suddenly, he felt dead weight falling against him. He looked at Edward horrified, as he fought Lily's weight, to hold her up. "Edward, grab Lily's bag, and help me get Lily to the nurse's office."

Edward nodded, and quickly slung Lily's bag onto his other shoulder. Already Jake had slung one of Lily's arms around his neck; Edward followed suite. Together they started to carry Lily. Unfortunately, a crowd had formed, all asking if Lily was okay, and if there was anything, they could do.

'There is one thing,' Jake thought wryly, as he tightened his grip on Lily. 'Getting out of our way.'

As if reading his friend's thoughts, Edward bellowed loudly, "Get out of our way!" The crowd split, as they went by. When the boys and Lily finally got into the school, a buzzing of I-hope-their-okays, and other general worries were starting to gain momentum.

***

Without knocking, Jake and Edward staggered into the nurse's office, with Lily. As soon as the nurse set eyes on them, she jumped up and took Lily from them.

Jake, still on edge, immediately said, "Hey, what are you-" The nurse cut him off.

"Calm down," the nurse said calmly, as she carefully layed Lily onto an enormous cot; on the side of the room. She put her stethoscope to Lily's heart. "Good. Her heart rate is normal." The nurse informed them, while she wrote that down on her clipboard. Then after facing the two boys, she said, "How did this happen?"

Edward turned to Jake, raising his eyebrows as if to say, Can we tell her? Can we trust her?

Jake thought for a moment, 'the principal is bound to find out, and so will our parents, soon enough.' He nodded his head to Edward. As Edward was pulling the paper out, Jake said to the nurse, "I'm Jake Lye, that's Edward Black, and Lily Marst." The nurse nodded her head. "Ummm…Lily fainted because of this." He handed the nurse the paper. As she unfolded it, Jake walked over to where Lily layed, and sat down. Picking up her hand, Jake started to rub it with his thumb.

The nurse gasped as she read the paper. She looked between Edward, Jake and then Lily on the cot. She cleared her throat, and asked, "I am going to assume, that," she glanced at the paper, "either two of you or all of you are in danger. So what do you think?"

Jake said, still rubbing Lily's hand, "We think that Lily and I are the targets." He took a breath. "Lily and I have been going out for about four days."

The nurse smiled kindly. "So why do you think that has to do with this threat?" Her eyes flickered over to where Lily was, and with Jake sitting protectively beside her. "Have you been attacked or anything else already?"

Jake felt slightly nauseated, when he said, "Actually, we have been more then attacked. We have been stalked, and followed." He felt Lily's hand tighten around his, and turned to look at her. Jake saw that her eyes were open. "Hey, there. Are you feeling okay?"

Lily nodded. "Where are we?" She looked around the room, confused. "Did I faint?"

Jake and Edward nodded. "We carried you here." Jake told her. He squeezed her hand, and said, "Do you remember anything we said before you fainted?"

Before Lily could reply, the nurse bustled over and checked Lily over. After getting checked over, Lily smiled faintly. "I remember Edward saying to you that he had found that note tapped to you locker. Then Edward showed us the paper. Right before I fainted, I remember that I wanted to say something." She frowned, trying to remember. Her face brightened again to Jake's relief. "I remember. I was going to ask if that last part of the threat was more directed at me."

Jake was puzzled. Then his eyes widened when he realized what it was she meant. He shook his head, "We will talk about that later." He turned to the nurse, and asked her, "Can Lily go? Or does she have to stay here for a bit?"

The nurse pursed her lips. "Well, okay." She held up a finger. "But I think you guys should go home today, rather then staying at school." She winked. "I won't say anything."

Jake and Edward nodded. "Thank you." Then they helped Lily off the cot. Lily was still pretty weak, so she leaned heavily on Jake; while Edward took her backpack. They walked out of the nurse's room and out of the school. Not looking back.

***

They sat around Jake's bedroom. Lily and Jake sat on the bed, hand in hand. This was the first time Lily had been in Jake's room. For Edward, it wasn't unusual. When they got back to Jake's house, Jake's parents weren't home, so they trooped upstairs.

"What are we going to do?" Lily asked. Her head was on Jake's shoulder. She looked at the boys, and continued. "Seriously we can't go back, so what should we do?" They fell into a lull, all thinking.

Jake offered half-heartedly. "Skip town?"

"Where would we all or you guys go?" Edward asked. He straddled the desk chair. "You guys aren't old enough to get a flat, and neither of you can drive." Edward finished. "I don't think there's going to be much…" Edward's eyes brightened. "What about the computer, Jake? Wouldn't you be able to wish yourself and Lily somewhere else?"

With his free hand, Jake slapped himself on the head. "Damn, why didn't I think of that?" He grinned. "I bet it would, Edward." He felt Lily raise her head off his shoulder. He looked at her concerned. He pulled back the covers of his bed. "Here, lay down." When she began to protest, he said to Edward. "We've got to get her to lie down."

Together, they got Lily to lay down under the blanket. Before Jake could move, Lily said to Edward. "I need to talk to Jake for a moment. Would you please step out of the room for a moment?" Edward nodded and stepped outside. When he had gone, she turned to Jake and said, "Really, I don't need to be laying down."

Jake sat down beside Lily, and took her hand lovingly. "Lily, you do need to take a nap." He squeezed her hand, "I don't want you to faint again."

"Fine." Lily cuddled down more into Jake's bed. "But I want to know one thing before I sleep."

"What is it?"

"Can you tell me about this computer?"

"Well," Jake hesitated. "Basically, we type something into the computer and it will give it to you." He shrugged. "Now go to sleep, and we will talk about this later." He leaned over and gave Lily a quick kiss on the forehead. "Lily?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you." Jake told her. He quickly got up, and started towards the door.

"I love you too, Jake." Lily said quietly. Jake smiled.

"Lily, sweetie, I love you, but we'll talk later."

***

It was nearly lunch, when Lily found Jake and Edward. They were sitting in the kitchen, talking quietly. They had Jake's mum's calendar spread out on the kitchen table. Jake didn't even notice when she came up behind him, and began to look over his shoulder.

"What about here? This gives us enough time to get everything ready."

"I don't know, maybe we should talk to Lily."

"I would say that would probably be a good idea, guys." Lily said from behind Jake. "What are we deciding?"

So? What did you think?
