Dangerous Pursuit

Chapter 28

Jeremy

I avoided Sandy. I heard that they are leaving. How can I talk to her? I can't hurt her. I bump my head many times on the wall. Fuck! If only I can bring back my memory. It will be unfair to her if there is Alex and Bessie in my past. I will mess up everything. I don't want to hurt her.

But I want to see her again. I will ask Madam Grace's help. I have to know my past.

My mind came back as I see Zac coming towards me with fury eyes. What happened to him?

He punches my nose and I fell on the ground. I am taken unaware which made my fall worse.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I shouted.

He towered me and punch me again and I hit my head on the pavement. Damn!

Before he can again hurt me, I immediately stand and dodge my head to avoid his charge. I manage to kick him on his gut and he fell on the ground.

Our commotion caught the attention of people inside the house. Zaila came running to stop us. Madam Grace, Tina and Trisha  followed.

"What's wrong with you man?" De ja vu. I feel that this thing happened already before. The blood is flowing from my nose and the lump on my head hurts.

Zaila  held her brother before he can again attack me.

"My God what happened?" Trish is wiping my blood.

"I don't know with this asshole. He just attacked me."  I sat down on one of the big rocks and wiped my bleeding nose.

"You are the problem, Jeremy, from the start. You selfish asshole is the problem." He shouted while holding his tummy. At least I know I hurt him back. Asshole!

Zaila is trying to console her brother.

"Please stop this you two." Madam Grace tried to intervene. "We have to talk about this without harming each other."

"You swear to protect her, you, asshole." He points his accusing finger on me. Protect who?

"Why can't you protect him against yourself......you selfish bastard?" I just look at him trying to understand what's going on. I feel that Zac knows something I must know.

" All you do to her is give her pain. You think I am blind of what you are doing to her? You stupid idiot. You tell that she's your Alex. Stop claiming her yours. She is not anymore your Alex, Jeremy." Zac fumes.

My Alex? He knows who is Alex all the time?

I am lost of words. Suddenly the world stops. Why I did not ask Zac before. I have mix feelings. Part of me is happy to know who really is Alex and part of me is afraid what will happen if I will know. But this is it. The answer to my questions.

"Zac, please calm down. You know who is Alex? Please tell me."  I pleaded. I have much pride to beg from this asshole but I will ignore it. I need to know. A small light of hope peeps in my heart. If I can solve my problem, my memory, I can fix the things with Sandy. I hope Zac can help me. Even I hate him, I need him.

"Ah yes, I forgot." He laughs sarcastically, "the almighty Jeremy's memory is totally fucked up."

"Can't you remember that you always boast to me before that she is your Alex. You want to shove in my face that she is yours even she is not your girlfriend." He chuckles bitterly.

"You were so protective of her. I thought you just want that no harm will come to her because she is like your sister." He lit a cigarette and continue talking. The rest just watch him.
