Amnesia

Chapter 27

Aurora's POV

I was in a different galaxy, I guess.

I laugh at that thought.

I was wearing white lace dress with a butterfly back necklace paired with boots. It's beautiful.

I'm on the grass field. I have no idea how I get here, but I'm here. I was lying on it and smelling the sweet perfume from the grass.

Then, I watch a figure walking towards my direction. It looks like some woman, in her mid 60's but looks very energetic at the same time. She looks exactly like...

My mouth open, my eyes widen.

Granny.

I stand up and run to her, as fast as I can. When I think I can almost reach her, I stop. She comes forward with her wrinkle smile.

"Hello, pancake. " she started.

I was going to hug her before I notice that I couldn't touch her. She almost like a cloud in a human form.

I winced. "Why couldn't I touch you? "

"Wanna walk with me? " she asks.

Hell yeah.

So I walk around the park with her. Talking about life and my past. As if she's really there, hearing my thoughts. For real.

She then talks about how to make a good pancakes, though I won't eat it unless she's the one who makes it, and chit-chat about her childhood.

When we stop at this old but fancy branch, we sat on it and Granny started to asks me questions.

"So, how's mom? "

I crinckled my nose and give her a sad smile.

"She didn't treat you like she treated you when I was there? " she guesses.

"Yup. " I let out a bitter laugh.

"Okay then, how about James? "

Shit.

Should I lie? Shouldn't I?

"He was fine. Still great. " I lie.

Unfortunately, she sees it.

"Yeah, right. Tell me. "

"He was bullying me. We didn't talk much except when he wanna to bully me. There's too much bad things that he did until I forgot what is it! "I laugh. I shouldn't but I have to. I don't want Granny to worried about me.

She smiles.

"You know that I've been watching you right? " she said while gives her best smile that warms my heart.

"Really? So, I don't have to tell you everything. "

"Yes, I just wanna ask why? "

"Why? " I cringed. "Why what? "

"Why you still goes around James and still follow his rules and games even though you know he was going to hurt you? " she remarked.

Ouch.

"I don't know. " I take a deep breath. "I love him. That's why. "

"I need more answers, honey. That's not enough. "

I sighed and stretched my arms before sitting in the previous position.

"I love him. Deep. And—as a best friend— and I don't think I can live without him, honestly. I know now he hates me and all but I still love him. So much. " I cletched my heart. "And I know the consequences if I keep on loving him. I got one already. "

I chuckle.

"I have heart broken syndrome since you gone. "

Granny's eyes widen and she touched my shoulder. I brush it gently and hold her hands into mine.

"But it got worst after James left me. I don't know what to do. I checked to the hospitals couple days ago and boom! I'm positive! Yeay! "

"Are you sure it was a couple days ago? "

Wait, I was on my way to Mario's. I'm going to have a dinner with Cassie. Shit!

I stand up and widened my eyes.

"What should I do?! " I freaked out.

Granny chuckled at my attitude.

"There's something I need to yell you before I leave you. "

"Wait what? Don't, please don't. Take me with you. " I plead.

"Aurora! You can't! You have a lot of people out there that loves you. " she barked.

My expression changed from panic to scared. Until I get goose bumps.

"No one loves me, " I shivered. "No one, "

She gives me a warm hug. "Sometimes, Pooh said, the smallest thing in the world takes the largest place in your heart. "

I stunned. Granny used to say these quotes to me when I was small but I never understand them. Because I was too small.

But now, I get it.

I pull out the hug and meet her eyes.

"You're the biggest thing for me and have the largest place in my heart. " I put on my lovely eyes and shoot it to Granny. She can feel the love. Literally.

She chuckled and shakes her head.

"No, I am not the one. "

"You are. " I argue.

"James are. " she winked and smile to me.

Granny can be such a child!

"No, how could you say that? "

"Your heart aches once for me and every time for him. It's just a small thing for everyone. You both fought, that's it. But, it takes up the largest place in your heart. Proof? You have one already. " she says.

I smiled bitterly to her. That's right, though.

"Now, if you excuse me. I need to go, my times is up. See ya! "

I 'invisibly ' hug her and smile. I can let her go now. I will not cry because I already hugged her, said goodbyes and kissed her. That's enough. Even though I couldn't really touch her but it's more than enough actually. I get to talk to her, spend time with her.

Can't wait to tell Cassie about this dream!

Wait, dream?

I started to ran and panting. I am confused. I started to panic until I'm crying.

Where am I?

James' POV

I intertwined Roe's slim fingers with mine and kissed it.

Sweetheart, it's been three days you're coma. Wake up. I love you.

I kissed her cheek and brush off some tears.
