When we arrived Abigail's house it was quiet. None of us said anything so I decided to cut the silence "Thanks for everything today. Whatever is going through your head right now just remember one thing,what's meant to be will always come around. If you truly want her back in your life. You have to find her and tell her. If she also feels the same way she'll forgive you. Not saying she'll forget about it,but you can built your relationship back from scraps. That's how every beautiful art starts from" giving him a genuine smile. He smiled back and I gave him a hug before walking out of the car.

"Wait" I turn to look at Finn "I should be the one saying thanks. I'll keep what you said just now in mind" his back everyone!! He's finally back from his deep thoughts.

I gave him another smile then walk to my house. I opened the door and saw Justin and Abigail sitting there both with worried face.

Justin was the first to turn,relieve washed over his whole face then his stern face came out.

"Jenna,where have you been? We both tried calling you and found out you left your phone in your room. Do you know it's very dangerous for a girl to wander around alone. You could've at least told us where you were going." I didn't have much strength to talk back at him so I just shrugged.

"What do you mean?" he shrugged trying to copy my actions.

"Look Justin,i don't have the mood to talk to you. I've had a long day and right now I just need a soothing shower and sleep" I was about to walk up the stairs until Justin grabbed my arms and pulled me to face him.

"You are not going anywhere until you tell me where you went" his grip on my hand was quite strong and I could feel a bruise forming.

"Your hurting me" I said as I tried prying his grip of my hands. He finally let go but you could still see the anger from his eyes. I didn't know he was that scary when his angry.

"You were at the beach weren't you? Who were you with?"

"How did you know I went to the beach? Were you stalking me?" I asked I'm shock

"No. I could smell it from you the moment you walk in the house. Who were you with Jenna? Just tell me already!" I was shock to hear his harsh tone.

"I was with my friend!" I screamed

"Was it a guy or a girl?" This is such a ridiculous question.

"What does it matter? He's just my friend"

"So obviously he's a guy! Why were you out with a guy Jenna? What did you do with him? Who is that person?" He started to grip on my hand once more. Demanding answers from me. I was scared to see this side of Justin. I've never seen this side of him and it's really scaring me.

"Hey Justin I think it's enough" Abigail finally spoke up and tried pulling Justin away.

"No Abs. Jenna still has a lot of explaining to do"

"Explaining? What do you want to know for goodness sake. I was out at a beach with a friend. We were just chilling. I was feeling down so he suggested to go to the beach. What's wrong with that?!? I was bummed out over us and he was there to let me release my stress!"I was practically on the verge of punching someone right now.

"Did that person have to be Finn?" His face was getting redder. At that moment my mind was blank. I was wondering how did he know Finn? I've never told them about Finn.

"How did you know?" Then it dawned on me "you read my text messages didn't you?"

He fell speechless but then quickly said "Don't divert the topic into something else. You haven't answered my question"

"What your asking is not a question. Your just pissed because the person that I hung out with was a guy and your jealous!" I could feel the heat between us two was getting stronger.

"Your right maybe I am jealous but that's not the main point. You should stop hanging out with that guy."

"So now your telling me who I should hang out with? Are you telling me that I can't hangout with a friend and you can hangout with your ex?" I really hated this. I was hoping to just go home and go to sleep. But it has to go this way.

"Wait" raising one of his eyebrows at me "so you went out with him is like a payback because of me talking to my ex?" I was bewildered that he would even say such a thing. Do I look like that type of person to him?

"Firstly,I do not care about you hanging out with your ex but the fact is you totally forgot about my existence" I stop and tried to regain myself "look we've talked about this yesterday. Unless you were too busy thinking about your ex that you weren't even listening to my argument than I'm not gonna explain it again. Secondly,Finn is just a friend of mine who I just found out was my friend when I met him at a company" he's face is getting redder and his chest is heaving up and down. It looks like his about to hit me.

"I'm telling you because I care for you. Just listen to me. He will hurt you. Trust me on this" he was speaking very softly but in his tone you could feel he was holding on to his anger.

"You know something don't you?" My eyebrows raised at him. I turn to look at Abigail who's eyes looked like they were about to pop out "you knew something that I don't" pointing at him "you all were keeping something from me" I said with my hands waving around.

He sighed "Look Jen,we're doing this to protect you. We don't want you to go through the pain again. We all saw how it affected you and we don't wanna see you go through the same thing again"

"Does it have anything to do with me being married before?" I was ok the verge of tearing up. But I'm just holding on to it. You could see that both of them were shocked. Abigail was totally freaking out. She was about to say something but I raised my finger up "I don't wanna listen to any of your explanation. If you guys truly care and love me. You wouldn't hide this fact from me. Do you know how hard it was for me to adapt to a new surrounding that isn't even new,but because I was an amnesiac mess I couldn't remember much. I've been wanting to know what happened but you guys kept me in the dark. Do you truly know how it feels to be kept in the dark for so long? I tell you it's not a good feeling" I could feel a tear trickled down my cheeks "few days back I was rummaging through my old stuff in my room and I found a divorced paper and a ring. It would probably normal but my name was there!" I couldn't help but raise my voice and at this point they didn't even dare to utter a single word "I'm just tired of being lied. I get that you guys wanna protect me and I respect that. But how about your in my shoe and feel the things that I have to go through every single day of my life. It's not easy I tell you" I wiped my tears away and walked up to my room.

I quickly fell to my bed and cried out. How funny it is that an amazing day could turn out to be chaos at first. I was too tired to even function well. I didn't feel like showering or changing. I just feel so tired and I could feel my eyelids getting heavier.
