"Tell me about some of your favorite memories with Jade." "I don't think I can. It's taking everything in my power for me not to cry anymore I can't. I've wasted so many tears over this. Not being able to wake up next to her every day, her not being beside me every night, baking and cooking meals together because it was our favorite thing to do as a couple. I haven't touched some of the stuff she forgot to take when she moved out since the accident happened. I just can't bring myself to do it. I miss her smell, the smell of rose and apples. Her singing, just every little thing she did. Her goofy tendencies, her endless love and support for me. She left me shortly after Trina passed away and I don't blame her. I went crazy, dealing with the death of a sibling isn't something everyone wants to deal with. I just wish I didn't buy her that stupid ring. I wasted so much money on it for her to what. Just up and leave me like we didn't spend 8 years together hurt me. I spent so much money on that ring, I had a whole plan on what I was going to do too." I stare off in the distance of my therapists window he has in his office and Rob kept talking. His voice is very light and soft. He's a soft spoken man. I get lost in my train of thought. All I can see and hear is a faint memory of Jade and I. We were at the park, she ran and jumped into my arms as I spun her around, we just looked at each other like we were the only people in the entire world. She kissed me and I was so happy in that moment. So so happy. I slowly come back to reality after a while of that memory playing in my head. I look at him and he's still speaking but notices I have a different look on my face. "Where'd you go off to this time?" I smile before I answer. "We went to the park one day, it was one of our best moments in the relationship. She and I were spinning in a circle like we were the only people in the world. It was nice. I shouldve proposed right there but I was so invested in that moment I forgot. I need to text her. I have to talk to her. I'm dying inside without her in my life Rob." "I know, so text her. Ask her out again. You're better, you can talk about Trina without crying now right?" "I think so" "Well why don't we give it a try. Why don't you tell me about when you found out she passed away." I nod my head. "I was going to meet Jade somewhere I can't remember it now.
*FLASHBACK*
"Hey Trina! I'm headed off to meet Jade. I love you and I'll be home soon!" "I love you more!" She yells at me from atop the stairs. I remember that part is vividly
I met up with Jade we were together for about an hour when I get a phone call from Tina's phone. "Hey Trin, what's up, in kinda busy right now." "Hello is this Tori Vega?" A man says with a stern yet soft voice. "Yes, who am I speaking to?" I say kinda worried. "Hello I'm doctor Sheldon from St. Mary's Hospital. I'm so sorry to tell you this but your sister was involved in a hit and run and she unfortunately didn't make it. We don't have all the details on what happened we did everything we could in our power to save her but it was no use. Her injuries were just to bad. She passed." He kept talking but I dropped my phone and fell to my knees sobbing and screaming. Jade came running over to me and held me asking me what happened. She was probably talking to me but I couldn't hear a word she said. I couldn't even speak. I was just shocked. She held me as I sobbed into her shoulder. She squeezed me tightly and I just kept crying.
*BACK TO REALITY *
"They still haven't found out who killed her, I'm not looking as much because it's what caused Jade and I to break up. I just got so consumed in trying to find her killer I forgot I was in a relationship. It was my fault we broke up". I get a call and I look at the name. "Its Jade." "Answer it. I'll see you next week" I take a deep breath and answer. "Jade?" "Hey... it's been a while. " "It has I was just talking about you." I laugh slightly so does she. "I found some bad news Tori." No not again she better not be dying on me... "Okay. What's up." "Its Beck. He got out today..." my mouth drops open. I squeeze my phone really hard. "I thought he was in for life." I said "he was supposed to be but I guess he got out for good behavior. He also can come near me apparently. The restraining order ended and they never told me. Tori I'm scared. I don't wanna die..." "Give me your address I'm coming over." I say and grab my jacket walking into my car. "Stay on the phone with me the whole time. I'll be there in 5." I race over to Jades. I get out of my car once I reach her house. She's standing outside waiting for me, she hangs up the phone once she can see me. Once again she runs into my arms and we hug for a while. I cant help but let out a few tears. One because I know she's safe and two because I miss her a lot. "I've missed you." I say. "Me too." She says back. She grabs my hand and she shows me inside. It's nice. Yes everything inside is black and covered in scissors. But what struck me is in the house right in front for people to see theres a picture of me and Jade, its us at school. Kissing. I cant believe she still has that. I'm glad I'm here, nothing will harm her while I'm here. Not while I'm around.
