[Jenna]
Clutching on my favourite mug like my life depended on it. My mind slowly thinking about the words I wanted to say to Abigail. She's sitting there waiting for me to say something.

"I wanna know what happened" I blurt out

Her face showed that she was confused "About what?"

"About my divorce. Who was my husband? I wanna know everything and this time I don't wanna miss a single thing"

"I.....well....urm..." she sighed and I felt like she's shutting herself down.

"Well what?" She looked at me with her eyes begging me to not ask this. But deep down inside I know there's something missing and I want to find it.

"I think you should ask Finn"

"What does Finn have to do with this?" I asked sounding annoyed that she won't just straight up tell me.

"He knows more than I do and it's best that he tells you. I don't want to say something that will cause you your life"

My lips were in a straight line. Why is she saying this? I grabbed my phone and dialled Finn's number.

"You know you can find him some other day" I looked at Abigail and shook my head. I needed to know the truth now. I'm tired of guessing and wondering.

He picked up after a few rings "Hello" his sexy voice answered at the other end.

"Finn can we talk? I need to ask you about something."

"Sure. Where should we meet?"

I told him where we should meet and he said he'll be there in 5 minutes. Without wasting any time I quickly drove there. Finn beat me there because I see him sitting at the coffee shop with a cup on his hand. He looks as gorgeous as always.

The ding of the door caught his attention and he waved at me. I just gave him a smile.

Once we settled down and I remember all the things that I need to ask him.

"So what did you wanna ask me about?" Sipping on his coffee

"I want to ask you about my ex-husband" he started chocking on his coffee. I quickly grabbed a napkin and passed it to him.

After he's struggles of chocking and coughing he finally settled down and said "Can I ask why are you asking me?"

I sighed and rub my temples to calm my nerves. It seems like everyone is pushing me like I'm just a bag of rubbish pushed around so that one responsible person would dare to dispose me properly.

"Look Jen,I'm scared that maybe you won't want to hear it"

"What do you mean I won't wanna hear you? I'm here aren't I? The reason I'm here is to find out the truth. Why is everyone so scared of telling me. Don't I deserve to know too" I was practically on the verge of dying trying to get the juice from everyone.

He sighed and look down for few seconds then look at me. Those eyes held fear,broken and many more emotions that I can't read.

"I....was...your" he closed his eyes "husband" to say that was a shock would be an understatement. I didn't see this coming at all. I thought he would probably say something like my husband is his best friend or something but nothing compared to what he just said. I was shock to the core and I felt immobilised. It's like something heavy has been dropped on top of me.

Then it hit me the train full of memory hit me causing my head to ache. I held onto the side of my head feeling the pain kicking in. The pain was so dreadful that I collapse to the floor. I could hear Finn calling my name I couldn't open my eyes because of the pain. Then everything went blank.

[Finn]
The thing that I fear most is coming back to haunt me. I see Jenna's helpless body lying on the floor and it scares me. She lost her memory once and now I don't know what will happen. Was it too much for her? People are surrounding us and whispers could be heard.
