Addicted To A Memory

Chapter 8

Chase's POV

As I pierced the needle to her arm, within seconds. Her body went limp, her eyes closed, and her labored breaths became normal. Jerry and I released a sigh of relief.

"That bastard who hurt her really did a great work in torturing her." Jerry spit those words with anger. Lately, he's been showing more emotion than the usual. I skeptically observed him, he looked at me with his foreheard crunched.

"I don't know man, I feel a brotherly connection with her since highschool. I feel the need to protect her and it anger me so much when I saw her all bruised up. The thought of someone torturing her makes my blood boil." He briefly explained.

Jerry has been my bestfriend since forever. He was found by our family maid near the dumpster. He was bruised up. He was kidnapped but he escaped. He can't even remember his own name or his family's. We named him Jerry and we took care of him. We provided for his needs, we gave him education, and gave him affection he needs.

"Brotherly connection?" I asked him

"Like what I said, I don't know man." He sighed. Silence lingered in the air as we think deeply.

"I had a dream man" Jerry spoke up. I looked at him. Weird man.

"Quoting from Tangled? Wow man, I didn't know you had it in you." I snickered at him.

He hit my head as I continued laughing at him. "No you stupid boy. I had a dream last night. More like a flash back."

I sobered up "What happened?"

He thought for a while. "You know what man,  forget about it."

"By the way, how do you know it's from Tangled, tsk tsk, Chase, you silly boy" He snickered and got out of the room.

I looked at the sleeping figure beside me. Natalie looks restless. Her forehead are crunched up together.

I thought about what happened in the past with her

Flashback

Since I met that girl Natalie in the playground that November night, I can't forget about her angelic figure. When I saw her cried, that is when I felt the need to comfort her so I approached her.

I asked her out. She agreed. I asked her to be my girl, my one and only girl. But she told me that she'll think about it.

It's been 3 months since I asked her to be mine. Some boys at the campus are telling me to find another girl. They told me that she's too naive, too innocent. But I know that they only want her. And in fact, I am falling hard for her.

Miranda, one of Natalie's girlfriends, gave me a piece of paper then ran off. I was left dumbstrucked. I opened the paper.

Big boar ,

Meet me at your garden. 6 pm. I have a surprise for you

Peanut.

I grinned at her nick name for me. Big boar. She always told me that I eat a lot. Who can blame me? Peanut. I always call her peanut because she's small, like a peanut. So, peanut. I know, it's lame.

I walked down in the garden. All I can see is the darkness and the moon shinning above. Suddenly, the lights opened up and there she is, standing in the middle. Smiling. I walked to her, then held her hands.

"Yes." She said.

My face showed confusion. Yes?

"Yes, I am yours now, Chase"

My eyes widen. A smile appeared in my face. I hugged her so tight that I don't wanna let her go. Best night ever.
