Chapter 13

Chase

Chase,

Don’t forget I’m in the room down the hall. I just wanted to say I’m sorry for having to do this to you and for being mean earlier. Love you.

-Nicole

I sighed loudly and flicked the paper back down on the bed. I paused, hearing a shout come from the other room. I opened my door and listened, hearing a screech that lasted a few seconds. I jogged to Nicole’s room and threw open the door. Her hair was matted to her forehead; the sheets were tangled around her legs. She let out a squeak and her back arched. I launched forward and shook her shoulders.

“Wake up, Nicole! Wake up!” I yelled.

Her eyes popped open and she slapped me away. “No stop! Don’t hurt me! I’m sorry!” she screamed.

My eyes widened. “Nicole, I’m not going to hurt you. You were dreaming.”

Her tense form softened and she looked up at me, worry in her eyes. “Chase, you—in my dream—oh gosh!”

“What happened, Nicole, what happened in your dream?” I asked.

“You were angry with me, because I can’t remember anything. You…you thought I was an imposter or something like that. You hurt me.”

I put my hands on her shoulders. “I’m not hurting you.”

“You love me?” she asked, looking up at me. “In my dream, you didn’t love me. You loved her…the me that could remember.”

“You are still my Nicole, even though you can’t remember some of the things we shared, you’re still you,” I whispered, brushing my cheek across her cheeks.

“But I don’t know you, like I did. Do I love you?” she asked, tears filling her eyes.

“As far as I know, you do,” I said with a nod. “That’s what you told me before all this happened.”

She looked down. “What if it’s changed? What if the fact that I lost my memory means that I lost the love for you?”

I swallowed. “Then…” I paused. What if it really has changed? I sighed. “Then I guess I’ll let you go.”

Nicole’s eyes met mine with worry.

“Don’t take that wrong. I would let you go, yes. As long as you are happy, I will do whatever you want. I won’t be happy about it…but if you are, then it is enough for me.”

Her mouth opened slightly and she leaned forward, resting her forehead against mine. “Chase,” she whispered, “if this gets too hard from me I need you to promise me something.”

Was she going to make me promise to let her go without a fight? I don’t know if I could do that, despite what I told her. “Anything,” I breathed. Inside my wolf was screaming at me, he didn’t want to let her go any more than I did.
