Part II: Chapter Eighteen

C H R I S T O P H E R POV:

It's been a few days since Lindsey and I got engaged. And I feel like everyone is talking. And yes, I've decided not to tell everyone because they'll all make a big deal out of it. I have decided to wait to tell my mother about the engagement because if I just go out to her with it, she might lose it and go crazy. And also, I decided to only tell Tom about it. He seemed not very happy about it. He acted like it was a bad decision or as if this was all happening too fast. I mean, I don't understand why he was so disappointed about it.

Lindsey and I have been completely inseparable. Lindsey is someone I can actually talk to. She's encouraged me to go to hypnosis therapy with Dr. Oaks. Lindsey wants me to remember. She thinks maybe that's why I get these mood swings it's because a part of me is still missing. Which is true. And so for three months I've been doing the hypnosis therapy. And while I'm out in the hypnosis state, I wonder what I say during it to Dr. Oaks. She doesn't ever tell me the things that I say. And I wonder if it's even important. But it must be, because whenever I wake up, she has this look on her face that tells me there's no lost cause for me as if I'm not pulling away. So maybe to her there is hope of me remembering.

Dr. Oaks told me I could bring Lindsey with me to my hypnosis therapy session. And I decided on this day to actually bring her with me. Lindsey was actually curious. I mean she wants the break from the house. Last week, Lindsey had moved in with me. And she's been unpacking like crazy. And so her going to my sessions might be great for her. And so, I have finally decided for her to bring me to the office and Lindsey drove, and the whole ride, Lindsey and I kept talking about when the right time is for me to tell my mom. But like I said, I need the time to be engaged before I can tell her.

Today might be a crazy day after all, because Lara Jean had invited me to meet up with her and Ty at their house for me and Ty to make up. And besides, Ty's sister, Trisha is in Los Angeles, visiting. And is wanting to see her nephew of course. But Lara Jean said she's tired of Ty and me hating each other. It's been three months. So maybe I can understand Lara Jean's frustration. But I'm not going to apologize to Ty tonight. Lara Jean told me to bring Lindsey because then maybe Ty would understand if he met Lindsey.

I know Lara Jean hates the idea I pushed Emma out of my life. But she's not holding a grudge about it at me like Ty is. Ty is taking everything too personal in my opinion. But I'm going to act like everything is fine. Tonight I'm gonna try to make amends with Ty. What else am I supposed to do? And I know the drama will obviously be there when I am to arrive with Lindsey. Lara Jean hates me too. I can see the resentment on her face every time. I see that she hates seeing Ty and me fight and it's kinda putting her in the middle. I had to almost run Lara Jean over to get her to talk to me. And then she told me to come over to their house for dinner because Trisha is coming into town for a visit. And I was told to bring Lindsey. Even though, I can see this ending bad.

Lindsey drives into the parking garage and she parks the car into a parking spot. She unbuckles herself, and so do I. And I literally begin to hate it. Going into this hypnosis therapy session is going to probably be a lot for Lindsey to handle.

I turn to face Lindsey, and her green eyes gaze right over to me. And I was nervous to get out of the car and to go inside.

"Lindsey," I took her hand in with mine. "I don't want you to feel awkward about this at all. I mean, you might hear me say things from my past."

"Christopher, I don't care what I hear. I want to be your supportive fiancée. You said getting your memory back could make you feel full again. And I'm willing to help you do that." She replied, and I swear there was so much light in her beautiful green eyes.
