The Forgotten Hate || a.b

Chapter Sixteen: Accidental Collision

♥︎Jade's POV♥︎

I woke up to a dreadful sound of my alarm clock disturbing my regret for ever going to this so-called "reunion".

But I hope to dear god, that he isn't there to ruin more of my nonexistent self-respect anymore than he and others have already done.

It apparently starts at 9:00 AM, and it's 7:23 right now, so I am pretty sure I can drag myself out of bed to head to the hellhole.

I groggily head to the bathroom to do what I do best in there, shower and wash all of the memories of those days then remember later. Ugh, remembering is the absolute worst.

Once I am done with the water massage, I head over to my room to sloppily get dressed and leave.

But for some odd reason, I am actually looking forward for this thing. I don't know why, but I feel as if something good is going to happen.

I shrug off the feeling as me just being merely excited to see Paige again. I mean she was the only one who actually unconditionally cared for me there.

I quickly grab my 'Sugar Skull Crochet' hi-low tank top and some high waisted shorts, yes call me a "whore" or "slut" or whatever you kids call it these days.

It's in the middle of fucking summer, I don't feel like getting my flesh torn off by barring myself in jeans and a jacket.

I put on my simple black vans, and steal a glance at the time, oh, it's already 8:34?! Shit it takes at least 30 minutes to head over there from my apartment complex!

I hurriedly head out of my door and hop in my beloved car.

Why am I so anxious?

Yet again I just shrug off my abnormal emotions and rushed off to ClearMount High.

Ahh sweet, sweet, memories right? Please do notice my obvious sarcasm if you're an idiot.

After 28 minutes of constant, music filled driving, I can see the familiar sightings of my neighborhood. I grimace as I drive by.

I pass two stop signs, because they are doing a detour again of the school? At least that's what I saw in what they sent me.

Finally I arrive and as soon as I take my spot in the parking, I felt a wave of excitement and.. Another feeling I can't quite put my finger on.

Almost on que, a mosh of screaming girls are near the opening of the school, why the hell is a bunch of teenage girls here?

I internally scoff as I walk over to the back of the building. I enter through there and into the cafeteria where they would be gathering up former students to, just remember shit? I don't know and I don't give a fuck.

I take my phone out of my pocket and start getting my head locked on what is going on in my town.

I keep on scrolling and scrolling till I hit something that caught my eye. It says, that a famous band member is visiting my school?

Maybe that's why there is a load of fangirls out front, I keep reading through the article to find out who is this "famous band member." All in while I bump into a figure.

"O-oh sorry!" The lady that hit me says, I roll my eyes, "Yeah, I bet y-" I cut myself off to look up at her.

Oh my gosh! "Paige!" I scream as we both open up for hugs, "Oh my god, Jade it's been FOREVER!" She squeals, "Yes I know!" I say as we both let go.

We head to one of the cafeteria seats and have a nice long discussion as to how our lives are right now.

"You are engaged?!" I screech as I feel many eyes on me, "Shhh, and yes!" She whisper-shouts.

"Ohmygod! When were you gonna tell me?" I say as I fake pout, "Oh hush up baby doll, I was gonna call you but-" Paige was cut off by our now old worn out principle.

"Listen up!" He shouts into the microphone, he is still acting like we are all 16 again...

He blabbers on about some shit about re-meeting our old teachers and acting like we are back in class.

Like really? We are in our 20s now, why should we relive high school? That makes no sense.

But they went as far as giving us our old schedules, me and Paige both exchange a what-the-fuck looks.

We both laugh at how hard they are trying. Seriously? You went through the trouble to printing out all of these, again? I thought we were out of the system already!

Then it dawns upon me, "he" was in all of my classes except for homeroom. Well what have I got to worry? He is probably busy working on a new album or some shit like that.

Thankfully I also remember me and Paige having homeroom together. Now those memories were thoughtfully delightful.

We reach to Mrs. Plummer's room. Ugh, she sucked hairy ass. She was SO rude to EVERYONE!

If she didn't like teaching immature, hormone filled teenagers, she shouldn't have signed up for the job!

After an long hour of her continuous rambling, we move on to the next period.

Where I am free of "him," I walk over to the music room before anyone else does, just like high school.

Apparently I was wrong, someone else was also there. He had short black hair and was wearing a leather jacket, with some ripped skinny jeans, and black combat boots, with his back facing me looking at the old instruments.

Hmm, I like his sense in clothing. I slowly walked over to the piano, and sat on the old, dusty chair.

I smiled at the memories of this room, completely forgetting someone was also in my presence.

As if on autopilot, I start playing a song that my grandpa taught me. I closed my eyes and focused on the sound that the piano was beautifully making.

I finished the song, it was only a minute and a half long so it didn't take long.

I let my hands fall off the board and into my lap as I heard the man behind me speak up.

"Jade?"
