Chapter 24 – Full circle

Jade's POV

Flashback – The day of the accident.

It was some 16 years ago, but I do remember it. More so now, that the final gaps in my memory have since been refilled. Knowing I would forget all about the accident I thought of a clue and had a tattoo placed on my arm. Something I knew I could not lose or misplace.

Through a combination of that me hearing the warning that the college student was trying to give Jed Thorn and the tattoo, I managed to unlock at least part of my mind. Suddenly I knew what was going to happen.

I rushed to the stage and found that some security guard was in my way. I kicked him in the nuts and rushed to warn Tori. She was the love of my life, my wife, the other half of my soul, I had to save her.

You know what happened next. I ran up, warned Tori and thankfully she didn't doubt me. I just wanted her off stage, but she wanted to make sure everyone else was safe. I'll admit that at the time, I only cared about her.

We finally got everyone off stage and were starting to move when I felt the stage starting to vibrate. It was starting to happen, so I told Tori to get moving and realizing I had less than a second, shoved her as hard as I could off the stage.

No sooner had I done that, than the floor seemed to fall out from under me and everything went black.

I remember coming too, sometime later. I was lying down and in some deal of pain. At the same time, I felt a bit strange and loopy. Though I didn't know it at the time, it was pain medicine.

But my first thoughts were of Tori, I had to know if she was ok. Just the fact that I didn't know if she was ok, suddenly sent me into a near panic.

"VEGA!" I half shouted/half pleaded.

"I'm here Jade. I'm right here. I'm holding your hand." Came the quick reply. It was Tori alright but she sounded emotional. Hearing her voice, I can't tell you how wonderful it felt.

It was only then did I open my eyes. At first all I could see was bright light and a blob of brown hovering over me. My eyes adjusted to the light and slowly Tori's face came into focus. She looked worried and as if she had been crying.

"I'm right here Jade. You're in the hospital."

I could care less about that; I needed to know if she was ok. In fact, that's all I could think of. My thoughts of her, my worries about my wife, even drown out the pain.

"Are you Ok, I need to know are you Ok, are you hurt. Please let me know...I need to know."

By this time, probably due to my pain med's, I was starting to freak out and had begun to cry myself. I couldn't bear to think of Tori being hurt.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Jade please relax."

Spotting what looked like some sort of cast on her right wrist, my panic level suddenly shot through the roof.

"You're hurt. I failed. You're hurt..."

"Jade. It's not bad, I have a broken wrist. But it's only a broken wrist and a bruise the size of a tennis ball. I'm fine, just calm down, your badly hurt. "

"Neck, I need to see your neck." At the time I didn't know why. But I needed to make sure it was ok. I was subconsciously remembering the fact that originally her neck had gotten cut in the accident.
