chapter 4

~Lily's POV~

We made our way to the car when I felt a hand on my waist and another one over my mouth.

"Hey baby, weren't expecting me were ya?" He said in my ear. Jake turned to see what happened, and the color on his face drained, his eyes black with hate his fists clenched so hard his knuckles were turning white.

"Let her go Evan!" Jake spat at him. He spoke, and I could hear the cockiness in his voice.

"And why would I do that?" What he said next made hot tears cloud my eyes. "When I can kill her in an instant, with just the twist of her head. You wouldn't want that to happen... would you now, Jake?". Jake was frozen in place, horror in his eyes at Evan's words.

"Jake....." I whimpered I was scared beyond scared. I don't want to die! Not now, and not like this! Then I remembered before my dad passed, that he taught me what to do in these situations. I slowly moved my hand by his stomach and lifted my legs to kick him right wear it hurts the most. I looked over at Jake, who shook his head no at me. I just winked at him and he knew what I was doing. He was going with my plan.

"Why do you want Lily, anyway?" He asked, and Evan just laughed.

"You took away the girl I love. If I can't have her, no one can!" He tightened his grip around my neck, and I knew I had to act fast. I swung my leg up and grabbed his shirt, then threw him to the ground. Jake ran up and pinned him down and punched him in the face so much it knocked him out cold. Before either of us said anything, we ran to car, jumped in, and sped away. I let out some giggles and tears. Jake glanced at me, and I looked at him, still giggling. He had so much love, worry, and confusion in his eyes. I grabbed his hand, then squeezed it gently before saying,

"It's been four years since my dad passed away. He taught me how to do that. I never thought I'd still be able to do that after so many years." He smiled.

"I'm surprised you did it, and you looked pretty hot being all bad ass back there." he said with a smirk. I laughed and playfully slapped his arm.

"I felt like a bad ass back there." We laughed all the way, until I remembered where we were going, and I felt the color drain from my face. I wasn't ready. I nearly died back there and now I must make a good Impression on Jake's mom. Jake must have known I was anxious, because he squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. We parked the car and went in. Jake must have spotted his mom, because he lead me to a table in the back of the cafe. A woman was seated there- I know now where Jake gets his looks from. She was impeccably beautiful! She glanced up at me, smiling warmly, and Jake said,

"Mom, this is my Lily." I felt my heart flutter when he said "my Lily". His mom stood up and walked around the table to me- instead of shaking my hand like I expected her to, she engulfed me in a hug. Ever since my parents died, it was rare that I felt something as maternal as this. She held me out at arms length, looking me over, and frowned slightly, looking over at Jake. My stomach twisted with worry- She doesn't like already, and I haven't even said one word to her. My anxiety dissipated with her next words, though.

"You lied to me, honey. You said she was pretty, but she's clearly downright gorgeous!" I opened my mouth in mock surprise, and she said while looking back at me,

"I'm so happy to meet you. You can call me Clara." I nodded, grinning, and said,

"Okay....Clara. It's a pleasure to meet you as well." The next two hours were filled with pleasant conversation, Jake getting embarrassed by his mom and her endless stories of him when he was a baby, and laughter. Soon, it was time to go, and after exchanging goodbyes, Jake and I left the cafe. Jake dropped me off at my apartment and said he will be back soon, he just needed to get some stuff. I gave him my spare key incase I was asleep, and I was making myself dinner, when I kept hearing a thumping sound. I just ignored it. There was a loud banging sound, and I saw that the door was broken down. Three guys came rushing at me- one pushed me down and started to punch and kick me. The others grabbed anything they could to hit me with. I was screaming... I could feel blood, even taste it....then everything went black.

I am going to die.

There was a beautiful warm light In front of me it was urging me toward it. Once I reached it I didn't feel any pain, and I didn't taste any blood. I just felt the soft touch of the grass in the meadow. There were wildflowers dotting the grass. I stood up from my sitting position, and I walked over to a huge pond, the water was so clear I could see the bottom. I heard a twig snap, and I whirled around to just see Jake standing there, looking hotter than ever. He was wearing a back shirt the hugged him just right, a pair of faded, fitted jeans that made him look taller than he already was, and black converse, which he always wears. He slowly came walking toward me, putting his hands around my waist and gently pulled me to his chest. He felt so warm, so safe, I didn't want to leave. I looked at him he had that sexy smile that would make your heart melt. He bent down and kissed me, he licked the bottom of my lip for allowance, which I denied. I giggled playfully, and he licked my bottom lip again, and I denied him again.

He was getting annoyed. He squeezed my waist, which made me gasp. That's when he plunged his tough into my mouth. The kiss was hot, passionate. I never wanted it to end, he pulled away to take a breather but never stopped kissing me. He kissed my jaw line down to my neck he found the spot that made he whimper, making a smile came a across his face.

He didn't leave that spot for a while, and I felt a warm sensation come from where he just kissed. He looked at me at me and I put two if fingers there it stung when I touched it. He gave me a kiss mark- or a hickey. He just looked at me with that sexy smirk on his face then hugged me so tight I thought I heard bones snap. What he said next confused the hell out of me.

" Lily, please don't leave me! Just wake up, I love you so damn much! I can't go on without you please wake up, please!" His voice was so sad, I felt hot tears sting my eyes. I don't understand, I'm standing right here! I'm not leaving, what dose he mean by leave? I looked around to see the grass brown and dried out, the sky was sort of an orange color, the clouds now heavy and black. The pond was filled with....blood? Yes, it was blood. The unpleasant smell of salt and pennies filled the air, making me feel sick. I looked back at Jake, but he wasn't there any more. The sky turned completely black, and I felt the ground drop out from underneath me. I felt the air rush past me in the vast darkness. Then there was a blinding white light, and a ton of pain.
