Come back to me-Gracie Abrams

Chapter 24

Gracies POV-

It's been a week since the accident. Scarlet has now come home and I visit her everyday but she still doesn't remember me so I want to give her space especially because she thinks of me as her friend. I've been crying everyday since then but I try not to let her see.

I knocked on her apartment door and she opened it smiling and let me in.

"hey gracie." she said.

I walked in and handed her a coffee and a bagel.

"hey, I wasn't sure if you ate yet so I decided to bring you something." I said.

She hugged me and I froze. She hasn't hugged or touched me since the last time I saw her which was the morning of the accident before we both had to leave. Before she let go I wrapped my arms around her.

We both walked into her living room and sat down on her couch but I looked down and started playing with my rings. She put her hand on my hands and there I was frozen, again.

"um gracie?" she spoke.

I looked up at her and hummed because I felt myself about to cry but I obviously failed as I felt my eyes getting teary.

"why are you crying? what's wrong?" she asked concerned.

I shook my head and then got up because I couldn't take it. I couldn't take not kissing her, holding her, or just feeling her touch. I couldn't take her not remembering me. It was getting to be too much.

As I was about to walk out of her apartment she grabbed my hand turning me around. I had tears running down my face so I looked up.

"We weren't just friends gracie, were we? I can tell by the way you look at me with love but also hurt." she said.

I looked into her eyes but couldn't speak.

"I know that you cry I can see it everytime you walk in here. I wish I could remember i'm sorry I don't. I promise you i'm trying so hard to remember everything." she said.

I immediately just broke down in front of her and she wrapped her arms around me. Rubbing my back with one hand and the other rubbing my head.

"I wish I could do something." she whispered.

I looked up at her and wiped my tears.

"it's not your fault scar i promise. i'm gonna go, get some rest. the doctor said you need a lot of it." I said walking out.

I ran out to my car and sat there breaking down.

Scarlets POV-

I watched as she walked out. I felt bad but I couldn't remember anything and I wanted to remember so fucking bad. It was hurting me not remembering anything.

I sighed and walked to my room deciding to just go for a walk. I put on my jacket and there was something in my pockets. I reached into both of my pockets and saw ring boxes. I took them out and they were beautiful but then I froze. Was I going to propose to gracie? oh my god.

I pulled my phone out and called Finley.

"Scar? you okay?" he asked.

"get down to my apartment right now. I'm gonna freak out." I said hanging up.

I sat on my bed when the door opened and Finley looked at me with wide eyes.

"Um Gracie was here she brought me food and then she cried and I figured it out. We were never friends, right?" I asked looking at him.

He looked down and sat next to me.

"did you guys talk about it?" he asked.

"no, she just told me to get some rest because the doctor told me to and then ran out of my apartment." I said.

He looked at me and closed his eyes.

"Gracie is your girlfriend scar." he said quietly.

I nodded my head and just felt mad. Mad that I couldn't remember even though I wanted to so bad.

"Fuck. She's done nothing but try and be here for me even though it's hurting her. I feel so shitty for figuring it out now. What if I never get my memories back?" I asked looking at him.

"You will. The doctor is sure that you will but it takes time. What has you all crazy like this?" He asked.

I took the boxes out and showed him the rings.

"I think I was gonna propose to her or something I don't really know but how can I love her so much and not remember it? What kind of person does that make me? I'm a horrible person." I say feeling tears form in my eyes.

"Scarlet stop it. You were in a very bad accident and even the doctors said that they were surprised you were even alive. It's not your fault at all, its not anyones." He says pulling me in for a hug.

I nod as I hug him back.

"can you take them for me? just so when I do remember I know you have them safely." I asked him.

He nodded and kissed my head.

We spoke a little more about everything and then he went back down to his apartment.

It was now around 8pm and I just wanted to stop trying to remember. It was driving me crazy. I drove down to this bar and began having a few drinks. One after another and then another.

"hey lady, what are you doing here tonight?" A man says coming up to me.

I turned over and just looked at him not wanting to talk.

"are you here all alone?" he says putting his hand on mine.

I took his hand and twisted it pushing it against him.

"Don't fucking touch me." I said looking at him.

He then pushed me so I pushed him back swinging on him and hitting him.

He looked up wiping blood from his eye and then punched me back. When he punched me, it didn't hurt but it definitely made me lose balance. I fell and hit my head and just laid there on my back with my eyes closed. My head hurt so bad. As my eyes were closed, I kept getting glimpses of things. A girl, long brown hair, a beautiful smile. I started to feel things, I felt more alive just seeing her smile in my head. I got up and rubbed my eyes.

"We called the cops. Both of you out of here now or you'll get arrested!" The owner said.

The guy immediately ran out and I just got up slowly.

"gracie." I whispered to myself.

The worker then pushed me towards the door and I felt more pain in my head.

"Gracie, my- oh my god." I whispered louder to myself.

I remember. I remember everything.
