The Unforgettable Love

Chapter 18

Vanessa's P.O.V

"Yeah mom I'll be fine don't worry" I say to my mom through phone.

"Okay. You can order something for lunch. And I'm sorry I couldn't be with you today" she says.

"It's okay I understand"

"I'll come home soon yeah?"

"I'll be waiting."

"Okay princess love you"

"Love ya too"

Mom was sorry as she couldn't welcome me at home after my small vacation. As it's a Monday, my parents are busy at office and I'm not mad at them. I'm used to it. And I really prefer my own company at times because they come up with millions of questions. Oh, and yes. We all skipped school today because it was some stupid spots practice with boring classes. Half of the students won't attend today.

I was about to take some snacks from fridge when I heard the doorbell ring. I made my way to the door as the person was ringing it impatiently five times making me angry. I opened the door revealing an exhausted Justin. He was holding his chest, sweating and breathing heavily.

"Woah hey!" I say

"I need to talk" he says while trying to catch his breathe.

"Sure, come in"

We sat on the couch and he was playing with his fingers nervously.

"What's the matter?" I asked worried.

"Nessa," he sighed "Do you remember me?"

"I guess I wouldn't let you in if I didn't knew you" I laughed

"I'm being serious!" He says sternly

"Well, your Peter's cousin...And my classmate"

"Nessa! There's more to it"

I raise my eyebrow

"Are you a secret agent?" I ask playfully

"No. But your boyfriend"

"Haha what a good way to ask me out!"

"I am not! You need to remember me! Six months ago. The accident! Try to remember!" He comes closer.

"Excuse me?"

"Don't you remember any single of it? Don't you get dreams like I did??"

"Speaking of dreams, I did see somethings but what are you talking about?" I frown my brows.

"Ness those weren't just dreams. Those were real. Our memories. Each of it was real!"

"I don't believe you"

"Please Nessa try to remember. Just please" His eyes glistening 'cause of the tears. "Jess told me today when I called her that you had some accident and lost your memory"

"Okay okay. Just because you know about that doesn't mean you can prank on such sensitive issue!"  I got up from my seat raising my voice.

"I'm not pranking! I'm saying the truth! I miss you so much please come back to me" he got up from the couch and was about to hold my hand but I move away.

"Don't touch me. I don't believe you"

His eyes showed hurt. And that made by heart ache with guilt.

"Nessa do you remember when I taught you tennis?" He asks with a painful smile.

How did he knew about my dreams? I don't tell anyone about them. Not even Jess.

"And when you cleaned my wounds after the fight with some boys?"

I stood still looking at him. My heart beating fast. He takes few steps towards me.

"The night when I shared my true feelings for you"

I feel my chest ache.

"Didn't you feel anything during our kiss at the lake house? Didn't you craved it? Didn't you feel you knew that feeling?"

In this stage, my head was aching a bit and I would break down any moment. It was too sensitive. I held back my tears.

"Okay enough! Get. Out. Right. Now"

"But Ness-"

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I snap at him and  I couldn't bear the pain in his eyes. It made my insides ache. But I'm too confused right now over everything. Without saying a word he headed towards the door.

"Please try to remember. I miss you so much" he says in a low voice, audible enough for me.

I ran towards my room and slammed the door hard. I sat on my bed and tried to think about his words.

How did he knew about my dreams?

How did he knew what I felt during the kiss?

Why did it felt familiar that time?

Why did my insides ache seeing him hurt?

Was it all true? All the dreams, feelings. Was it all real?

I felt a sharp pain in my head growing each second as I was thinking. My chest began to ache and I crawled up hugging a pillow. My tears were falling uncontrollably because of the pain. I was still thinking about Justin's words.

"Please try to remember. I miss you so much"

And then everything went black.

A/N: For those who couldn't understand why they had the physical pain, I mentioned it at the beginning of the chapter. If they tried to remember about the past, it will cause stress in their brain which may lead to pain, blackout or even death.

And I feel the story sucks😓
