Unpredictable (Sequel to Un-be-lieveable)

Chapter 9- Gryphon Love

Jacks POV

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Toby asked me as we pulled up next to Ian and Anthony's place.

"Yeah. And from what I've been hearing, she's pretty bad, and she loves gryphon man." I reassured him, taking the little furry shiz zhu from his lap. "As long as you stay here. Ian probably doesn't want to near the house."

"It's killing me that I cant remember her!" He said running a frustrated hand through his hair.

"Trust me dude, it'll come to you." I told him popping the door open, and heading up the drive. When the door opened after my three short knocks, Ian appeared, shocked.

"Jack, what's up?" He said confused.

"Uh I've been told that gryphons been going crazy since emerald left. And Toby called me up to see if bringing him here would help. Help both of them." I explained, as I set the little fur ball down.

"Yeah of course." Ian said gesturing for me to come in. I nodded in thanks, and stepped in, heading in the direction of emeralds room. Before I entered, Ian put a hand on my shoulder. "Brace yourself, she doesn't look the best." As I met his gaze, I could see the sorrow and pain. It made me feel a pain in my chest, to which I could only guess was my heart braking. He only got his sister back a little over a year ago.

I nodded again and opened the door, gryphon flying inside. I was stunned at what I saw. She didn't even look human. Gryphon even stopped to look at her. She gave a weak smile, and gryphon jumped up, happily licking emeralds face as she gave him pets. After he settled down and I took a seat on the bed next to her, I asked, "em, are you okay?"

She responded not with words, but by lifting her boney shoulders up, and dropping them back down. I frowned. I was hoping she would talk to me. But I guess not.

"Toby's really frustrated that he can't remember you. He says its like you're a smudge in his brain. Like ink got smudged and you can't read the word." I explained, trying to reassure her that he'd remember at some point.

"I don't. Wanna talk...about him." She said slowly and quietly, her voice raspy from disuse and dehydration. Her eyes were rimed red, and glossy. I realized that she was trying not to cry. I wrapped her in a hug. She's probably gotten so many in the past three weeks, but hey, it's the lease I can do. "Jack...I don't even wear the rings." She mumbled.

"What?" I said confused. What rings?

She pointed to the left of her, where two beautiful rings and a razor sat. The rings were her engagement and wedding ring. She looked up at me with stormy grey eyes, an unusual sight to see. "I feel terrible. I don't want to live, I mean I'm not saying it just because Toby doesn't know me. I'm saying, what in the hell do I have to live for? Friends and family. That's pretty much it. Babes won't miss me too much, he'll some of them would be hapy if I died."

I stated wide eyed at her. Did she really just say that? "Emerald...don't think that way. Your an awesome person. Go get help, go to therapy. Get anti-depressants like Allie has. Something to help you."

She just scoffed at me. "If anti-depressants worked dont you think I'd be on them?"

"What do you mean?"

"After the car accident with Brendan, I was put on them, but it just made everything worse. I don't know how, but a lot of med just work the opposite when I take them." She explained. How was that possible? i mean....what?

"That doesn't even make sense." I said shaking my head, trying to sort it all out.

"Yeah well I dont make sense." She bit back.

I sighed, leaving the room in silence side from gryphons collar jingling from trying to get pets out of emerald.

That said silence was broken when Allie erupted from the door. "Why the hell is Toby sitting in your car Jack?" She questioned.

"What?" Emerald practically yelled at me.

Whoops.

Forgot he was there.

"Ummm long story?" I replied, my voice hitting a falsetto note as I shrugged my shoulders and raised my hands.

"And why is gryphon here....?" She questioned again slowly this time as she pointed at the small dog rolling around in Em's lap.

"To be cute." She said in a pouty tone as she rubbed his belly. "Yes. Your a little cutey. Yes you are."

I smiled and as I looked up at Allie, she has a smile planted on her face as well. She walked over to me and sat down next to me. "Go on Jack. I'll bring Gryphon back, but you might want to tell Toby it might not be until tonight that I can get him away."

I nodded. And with that I left, a feeling of accomplishment with me. I made her happy at least for a little while. I made her less suicidal for a small amount of time. And best of all, I got a picture. Okay well maybe that's not the best for her, but Toby wanted to see her. And I couldn't blame him. He was trying really hard to remember her. If he wasn't working on anything he was going through the pictures of him and her on his phone, trying to jog at least some memory. I didn't want to get a picture of her. I felt that if he saw it, it would just make him feel worse, and that he wasn't trying hard enough. But as the good friend I am, I got it. And now I feel terrible for showing him.

"I need to know Jack! I just need to know!" He said throwing his head back onto the couch that we sat on. I saw Erin in the door way, she was just as worried as I was.
