Fix Me

Chapter 16

Devin's P.O.V

After ariving in Londen Vicky and I went to her dad's home where he got us at the the airport, all we did when we got there was eat, shower and then straight to bed to sleep off the jet lag. We had arrived at five the afternoon and now it's six in the morning, getting up I quikly grab a shower and head down staires to make breakfast but I am beat to it by Vicky, "Morning sleepy head" she greets me with a bright smile on ber face, "morning V" I reply to her with my own smile, we had breakfast and decided to go to the mall where we shopped for 2 hours, "come on Dev I want to go to American Eagle" she tells me and starts dragging me there while I laugh my ass off. "Ugh, you're so heav-", "Devin?" A voice behind me catches my attention and immediatly I recognise it for who it is, immediatly the word fuck resonates through my head and I wish that the earth would just swallow me and V whole so that he wouldn't see her but instead I turn around with a forced smile on my face hearing two shocked gasps, one from Jay and the other one from V. "Victoria? Is that you?" I hear and see the words leave Jay's mouth while his face is a mixture between confusion, hope, pain and love, "Jayden, it's uhm... good to see you again" Vic's voice comes through with pain in her voice, "do you two know each other?" I can see the curiousity shining in her eyes as she wants to figure out how he knows me, immediatly after her quistion Jayden's eyes goes to me and takes me in and then he sees our entwined fingers and hurt and fury consumes his face and eyes as he looks up into my eyes with betrayal. I turn to Victoria with a forced smile on my face and ask her, "hey V why don't you go on ahead without me huh? I need to talk to him" she looks up atme with quistioning eyes but nods her head to indincate that she understands, after looking back at Jayden for a few seconds she gives us a forced smile and heads to American Eagle. Without a word said between us we head to a coffee shop and order coffees and find a private booth to sit at. After the waiter brings our coffee we begin talking, "you and her, you know each other, I should have known that you aren't really my friend, you only used me get info on her. You must have tracked her down and started dating her! You sick fuck I thought you were my friend!" His words leave me stunned, but then I feel a bout of anger at his words and that he didn't even give me a chance to explain to him. "Hey I am your friend, but remember when we first met and you told me about her, you remember how I stormed out of the room?" I look at him waiting for him to give me conformation that this is true, after he nods still looking pissed off, I go on with my story. "I was so pissed off at you for breaking her already fragile haert that I wanted to beat the living daylights out of you, but... I promised her that I wouldn't do that so instead I got out of that room as fast as I could to stop myself from giving you a beating worth remembering. I promised myself that day that as long as I lived that I wouldn't ever let you close enough to her for her to get hurt and so far I have been upholding that promise the best that I can." After the words leave my mouth a tired sigh escapes me and it feels like the world is sitting on my shoulders and I suddenly feel really tired, "Victoria is my neice, her mother is my mother's sister and V and I have been really close since we were little so when she called me two years ago and told me everything I was ready to kill you for hurting her but she made me promise not to find you and hurt you, I could never refuse her once even when we were little kids so I agreed to it and since then I have kept my promise, at that time I didn't know that you were my roomate. U see I was there when her mom died I know how she was after that, I also know how she was after you came back into her live, and then when you left her it was like she went back to being the broken girl she was when her mom died and I hated you with a pasion, but then... then I met you and you became my best friend and my brother, so know you know, the person I have been visiting for the past two years is Vicky, my niece." As I was telling him my story I watced his face and saw all the emotions as it flickered through his eyes. "So that's why you never told me her name" it wasn't a quistion so I didn't answer him. "You know, that night when I left her I did it because I thought it was the best way to protect her from myself, but as the days flew by I realized the mistake I made, the mistake I made of leaving the only girl I have ever loved, the girl that when I was with her made me forget about everything else in the world except her, all the thngs that have happend to me just flew away and I forgot everything except her,it was like living in a save bubble with only her and it seemed that nothing could get in, no pain could reach us. I was eleven when I was kidnaped by two people, husband and wife they're names are Rebeka and Ronald, they beat me everyday for three months, they were going to kill me on that last day that I was there, they had already beaten me to a pulp when a team of 5 people named Ken, Bruce, David, Ross and the leader Ben came in and saved me, my parents hired them after the police couldn't find me. I was rushed to the hospital but I went into a coma for two months, when I woke up I had amnesia and couldn't remember anything, about five years ago I got all my memories back, while I was in a coma Rebeka and Ronald revealed that they were going to kill me that day and that they already had chosen theyr'e next victim, a girl named Alena Rose, the police searched they're back yard and found three teenage girls bodies and five teenage boys bodies, I was they're last victim since they were captured. They killed themselves before they could be prosecuted for all they're crimes. Know you know my story, something no one knows except my parents. That's the reason I left her, all I could think was is that who could love someone like me. I still love her, I have never stoped loving her and I probably never will, I realized that I made the biggest mistake of my life that day I left her and till today I regret that." Looking up I see his face filled with shock and sadness and anger for the people that had hurt me all those years ago.

Victoria's P.O.V

After Devin asked me to go away I hid around a corner and watched them walk into a coffee shop and then I decided to follow them, sitting behind them I hear them talking and slowly all that has happend the past two years comes out and I feel the tears swell in my eyes and love grow in my haert for Devin, because he has been protecting me and Jayden the whole time and then the words that leave Jayden's mouth makes the tears in my eyes stream out and I barely hold in the sob that wants to break out. The tears silently stream down my face as I hear what he went through all those years ago and finally the reason why he left me, I feel a bout of anger at his reason for leeving me but then it leaves just as quikly when I realize that if what happened to him, happened to me that I would have felt the same so I suck it up and stand my decision final. I move out of my seat and to there's and sit next to Devin while never letting my eyes stray from Jayden's taking in his shocked eyes at my sudden appearance and then realisation takes over and he realizes that I heard the whole conversation. I turn to Devin to see him already looking at me, "Dev can you leave us?" At that I turn back to Jay and look straight into his pain filled eyes, "Jayden and I have some things to talk about." Wordlessly Devin gets up and leaves. "Why? Why didn't you tell me?" That is all I say and immediatly tears stream down his face, he looks at me for a second then turns his face and eyes downwards, away from me. "I was scared that you were gonna leave me so I did the only thing I thought would be the best for us both, I decided to leave before either of us got hurt." I hear the truth in his words and I feel hope and love fill my chest to extreme that I feel worried that all my love for him would suddenly burst out of my chest. "You stupid silly man, how could you ever think that I would leave you for that reason? I would have stood with you through it all, I would have helped you. I mean that's what people do when they love a person, they don't leave when the going gets tough, they stay with you through the hard times, sad times and happy times" at my words he looks up with astonishment in his eyes and I can't help but take him in. Since the last time I have seen him his face has grown more defined and so has his body. "You... you mean that?" His slightly hopefull voice breaks thrugh my thoughts and I look up to see him looking hopefull but scared at the same time eyes and a laugh breaks through. I stand up and take the open seat next to him. I take his face into my hands with a smile on my face. "Yes you stupid man, I would have stayed with you through it all! I love you and I have never stopped loving you for even a second and I never will stop loving you! So now Jayden Woods will you put us both out of our missery and ask me to be you're girlfriend again or am I going to have to force it out of you?" As the words register he suddenly breaks out into the most beautifull laugh I have ever heard and immediatly he wraps his arms around me and pulls me in and slams his lips onto mine. "Will you Victoria Jane Reed be my girlfriend?" Are the first words that leaves his mouth after we broke out of the kiss. Immediatly tears of joy swell into my eyes, yes, yes and yes I tell him and between every word I peck his lips.
