Remember me ? (H.S)

Chapter 16

DYLANS POV

"His name is Harry Styles."

 For some reason it felt like I was giving her new info by telling her his last name even though that info is pretty much shit, unless you know who to talk to. I haven't figured out what I wanted to say next or even how to start. whole situation from the time I lied to her in the hospital and all the lies until now, have been mentally and physically exhausting to keep up with.

Apart of me is dying to tell her the truth already, lying really does take a lot out of a person and knowing that I'm just making matters worse for not only myself, but the outcome of what could happened if Jade were to ever find out about not only my lie but also her parents involvment.

"Look I don't really know what to say about him, especially when you are in such a vulnerable state already-." I stop when I notice her eyes have darkened with anger.

"A vulnerable state?" She venomously spits back at me.

"Shit, no Jade that's not what I meant. God can you just let me speak without getting so defensive ever 5 seconds?!" I say back harshly, the pressure of the situation effecting my patience.

She falls silent, shaking her head and looking out the window.

"I'm sorry Jade, it's just I don't want you to be around him. I can't explain why yet or even want to talk about it. But I really just don't want you around him." I say in defeat.

I could make up another lie about him and how horrible he is, even though most of it wouldn't be a lie. He really is a horrible person, your typical 'Ladies man' that fucked anything with a pulse and just through them away afterwards. Until Jade came along and they "fell in love."

"Dylan!" Jade yells, brining me from my thoughts.

"Sorry what?" I asked.

"I said, you can't just act like that when your upset, I don't know how I was before or how I would've dealt with that because I don't know who I was before but Ill tell you one thing, either you tell me everything that happen and why you hate him or you get the fuck over it and realize that we will probably see him around sometimes."

"I wish I could tell you, I wish I wanted to tell you. But its for the best. And I promise I will work on things with my anger if you promise to stay away from him." I ask, as she scoffs

"I already said I would."

"Okay, then Im sorry Jade I really am." I say, internally apologizing for so much more.

"Fine, can we just drop it and get some food." she says still slightly annoyed.

I laugh out loud at how she is still thinking about food, and she smiles little easing the tension.

"What?" she says trying to stand her ground still.

"Nothing, nothing. Where do you want to go?" I ask.

"In-N-out."

"You know I don't really --"

"I wasn't asking you." She says glaring at me.

"Okay, okay were going." I laugh and she cracks a smile.

------

When we arrive to In-N-Out Jade again doesn't wait for me to open her door, as she storms out and orders before I can catch up to her. When I'm done ordering we sit and our number is called within 2 minutes. Jade jumps up and grabs our burgers while I stay seated already expecting her to.

I'm not even the slightest bit suprised when I see that Jade has ordered half the menu plus and extra order of animal style fries.

I laugh as I see her take the first bite, her eyes rolling in the back of her head and looks as if she's about to cry.

"Don't be dramatic." I say laughing, she glares at me which makes me let out another chuckle and I start eating my burger.

Not even 5 minutes later, Jade is finished and sipping the rest of her soda.

"How the hell did you eat all of that?" I asked. Although I've know her for so long she still manages to shock me in even the smallest ways.

"I told you I was hungry, stupid." She rolls her eyes smiling.

"I see that." I add, dramatically widening my eyes at her.

There's a few moments of silence as I finish the rest of my food.

I notice Jade looking lost in her own thoughts and decide to leave her to it.

"So..." She asks after 10 minutes have passed.

"Yeah?" I say. A little worried that she hasn't let go of the last topic.

"I was thinking that... You know since your my boyfriend and everything." She looks away from me, and I notice her fiddling with her hands.

"Do you want to start over again?" She suddenly asks and I'm taken back by her question. I immediately think the worst of what she could mean.

"What do you mean start over? Are you breaking up with me?" I ask my voice coming out harsher than I thought it would. I know it's technically not even a real relationship but I didn't go through all of this to start back in the friend zone.

"No!" She says quickly, and my features soften at how puzzled she looks. " I was just thinking since I don't remember anything that we've done over the past year." She continues, sadden laced in her voice. I grab her hands in mine and she stiffens at first, then relaxes.

"I would just like to be able to remember certain things like our first date and all that stuff. I know it's not going to be the first for you ..." If only she knew. "But I would like to just pretend that this is the beginning." She finishes. "If that's okay with you." She quickly adds.

"Of course that's okay Jade." I give her a smile. She nods and smiles back.

"I'm sorry if I act a little weird when your affectionate, Im just used to you doing it in a friendly comforting way, not in a lovey dovey way you know?" She adds, looking down at her lap.

"I'll always be your bestfriend Jade, and it's okay you don't have to pretend around me. I understand."

Smooth.

"So..." I say with a smirk. "What would you like to do now?"

------

I know it's seems like Jade dropped the subject about Harry alittle to quickly... But that's because she did. I have a plan for the story and you'll just have to work with me.

Sorry about the super slow update, I've been really into all these other fan-fictions I ended up abandoning my own. I hope to uodate atleast once a week now.

Hope you enjoyed this  chapter 😘
