Once Rowan comes back, his soft brown eyes are wide with an emotion I can't decipher. Evan shortly comes from behind him, a sly, satisfied smirk spread on his face.
"Your friends aren't very... friendly, are they?" Rowan whispers in my ear. I just shrug.
We eat, talk and laugh together. After about an hour, I begin to realize that I remember every single thing from my past. It's a relief, yet scary as well. I decide not to tell Nathan, seeing he's already being such a jerk.
Are you really that desperate? His voice rings in my ears. The words sting. What on Earth happened to the boy I once knew?
After doing laundry, Nathan comes up and eyes me almost menacingly. Almost like he would never leave me alone again in case I decide to escape once more.
I slip away from Rowan's lap, in which I studied the drawings in my sketch book with him in. There isn't any romantic feelings that I feel towards him. He's simply one of the closest friends I've ever had. Nathan doesn't seem to take it that way. I can see it in his scowl.
"I need to talk to you," I growl, grasping a handful of his shirt in my fist and dragging him into an empty room. We stare into each other's eyes almost angrily for a moment.
"What?" He snaps.
I roll my eyes. "What do you think? Stop being such a dick! I didn't do anything to you!"
"You ran away! Twice! That's something. You've been nothing but difficult these past few months," he snaps.
"Control freak!"
"Grow up!"
"Stop acting like the victim! You've already hurt me enough."
He raises an eyebrow, studying my face. My eyes widen. Oops. I shouldn't be able to remember that.
"Oh? And how would you know that?" He asks. I try to walk away, but he puts a firm grasp on my arm.
"Let go," I mumble.
"Tell me what you meant. You're hiding something."
"You don't own me, Nathan! Stop acting like it before I break your hand with my metal arm."
He let's go, and my fiery gaze blazes into his cold, icy one. There isn't any warmness in them anymore. I feel like crying. I want the old Nathan. The one who loved me no matter how bitchy I was. He now looks at me like he hates me. It stings even more than his harsh words. I swallow hard and avert my gaze.
"Why did you go and find me? Was it because you were worried, or you can't stand it when you're not in control of something?" I murmur.
"Don't change the subject. Do you remember anything or not?"
