Chapter 5
Brent's POV
She doesn't remember me? At all? This is it. My chance to start all I over again with her. She doesn't know I'm the one that caused her all this pain. I know I will have to tell her sometime if she doesn't remember but right now I'm just going to be a totally different person for her and act like that never happened.
"Um... Well my names Brent and I -"
"Wait. You arrent the Brent everyone was wanting me to stay away from are you?" she asks interupting me.
"Uh... Well, they don't like me very much... But uh... You did." I say scratching the back of my head.
"Well at least I think you had some feelings for me. I know I did for you. I waited right by your side in the hospital for a month, almost two." I say.
"Y-yo-you did?" she stutters.
"I did. I cared about you. I still do." I say taking a step closer to her and reaching for her hand. She pulls away at my touch and I feel almost hurt.
"Um... I'm sorry I just don't really remember. I mean you sound sweet and all but how do I know you arrent just saying all of this stuff and it's not true?" she asks in disbelief.
"It is true Gracie! I lo- I mean I like you! A lot. Just let me take you out to eat after school. I can tell you anything you want about me. I can answer all your questions. Anything to make you believe me and trust me again." I say pleading.
"I don't know... I uh-"
"Please?" I look at her with pleading eyes.
"I mean I guess it wouldn't hurt." she finally says and a smile spreads across my face instantly.
"Ok, so after school meet me outside and we'll leave. Just don't tell any of your friends its me. Ok?" I ask bitting my lip.
"Um ya. Ok." she says unsure if herself.
"I'll see you later princess." I say and walk forward to my next class, looking back to see a slight smile on her face.
Grace's POV
"You still up for pizza after school Grace?" Cody asks at lunch.
"Um. I have plans. Sorry." I say poking my salad with my fork.
"Really? With who?" Zack asks seeming interested.
"Just this guy." I say as I feel Brent's gaze on me and look up at him smiling from across the lunch room.
"Who is he?" Zack asks over protectively.
"Uh... It's... Mason!" I blurt out.
Mason's eyes go wide and he looks at me.
"Help!" I mouth to him and he slightly nods his head.
"Yeah, I promised her that we'd go and I'd get her her favorite dessert and just answer a few questions she might have." Mason saves.
"Oh. Can I come?" Zack asks.
"No!" I shout.
"No, because the doctor was even saying too many people can cause her to get nervous when talking about things she doesn't remember." He says again saving my slip up.
"Ok..." Zack says obviously not believing us.
"Thank you" I mouth to him across the table and he gives me a small smile.
"So, who is this person you are going out with?" Mason asks as we walk to our next class in the opposite direction of the others.
"I can't say." I say looking at out feet while we walk.
"Come on! You can tell me!" he says.
"You'll be mad."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will."
"Just tell me already." he says throwing his hands in the air.
"Promise not to flip out?" I ask him.
"Promise." he smirks.
"It's... Br-"
"Hey Grace." I hear a deep voice say then feel an arm on my shoulder.
"Brent. Leave her alone." Mason says seriously.
"No. We have plans." Brent says smirking.
"What? This is who you have plans with?!" he says and I can see the anger in his eyes.
"You said you wouldn't get mad! And please don't tell the others!" I quickly say.
Mason let's out a big sigh then takes a step towards Brent.
"I swear, if you hurt her, try anything she doesn't want to do, or get her into more of your shit like last time I'll punch you so hard you will be out longer than she was." He says clenching his fits and clenching his teeth.
"Wouldn't dream of it." he says back to his face.
"Have fun Grace and be careful." Mason says brining me into a hug and kissing my cheek.
"Thanks Mase!" I say hugging him tighter.
"Ready princess?" Brent asks throwing his arm back over my shoulder.
"Sure." I say giving Mason a look that says 'You tell any of the others I'll kill you.'
I can see he understands the look then waves goodbye to me and we turn to walk towards Brent's car.
