Against All Odds

Chapter 19

~Jess's POV~

"What the fuck did you do!?" Nash screams downstairs.

I can hear Taylor take a deep breath.

Oh no.

I quickly run down the rest of the stairs I had stopped going down. I find all of the boys in the living room . And I mean 11/11.

Of course.

"W-what's going on?" I stutter.

Nash whips around, glaring at me.

"You kissed him?" he almost chokes.

I widen my eyes, looking down at the floor.

"Nash, i-"

"No Jess.." He says, his voice cracking. "I just.. Just don't talk to me."

Before I can say anything he storms out, slamming the front door behind him.

I look into all the eyes of the boys around me. A few filled with anger, some with sadness, and some no emotion at all.

Cam stands up, reaching an arm out towards me.

I shutter when he touches my shoulder.

-FLASHBACK-

"Go home" cam slurs.

"Are you drunk?" I ask, reaching towards him.

"We don't want you here! You don't know us." He yells in my face, making me fall back into the wall.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"Don't touch me." I hiss.

He looks taken back. He raises his eyebrows.

"Oh and I do know you. Remember that night you said I didn't know any of you. Well I know that you are a nasty, side hoe having, bastard." I point to him.

Kinda regretting what I said, my eyes become watery. I shake my head, turning around.

"Don't bother coming after me douche. You don't love me anyway." I go outside with tears falling, Leaving Cam speechless.

**

"Nash please" I beg him to stop walking.

We're in the middle of the woods. I have no clue why. He just won't stop!

"I said don't talk to me."

"But I want to."

He stops short, causing me to bump into him.

"Sorry" I mumble.

He puts his hand through his hair, leaning back on a tree.

I slide down next to him, wiping the black smudges off my cheeks.

"Why were you crying?" he asks with no emotion.

"Maybe because I don't want you to hate me." I cross my legs.

He shakes his head.

"I don't hate you Jess. Far from it. I mean if only you could get back your memory you'd know that. I love you Jessica Hope Hastings. Seeing you with someone else hurts. Your having my child for gods sake." He lays his head in my hands.

Why can't I have my memory again? I just want to know everything. Who Jack Gilinsky was. Who I've ever had feelings for. Why I tried commuting. It's all a big blur. One that I want to make clear.

"I'm sorry.. If I could get my memory back I would. One day I'll remember everything. I know it." I tell him.

He gives me a faint smile.

"Just make sure Taylor treats you better then I ever have..." He says, rising from the ground.

He helps me up too, pulling me into a hug.

"Nash?" I say looking up into his bright eyes.

"Yes?" he answers, brushing a hair out of my face.

Then everything goes black for a moment. I stumble back on my feet and open my eyes.

Wait..

Where am I? Who's this boy?

"Who are you?" I whisper, stepping back.

The handsome boy widens his bright blue eyes and starts walking towards me. Why is he acting like he knows me?

"Jess.." He says, almost sounding like he's going to cry.

"Who are you!? And who's Jess!?" I yell starting to freak out.

"Jess calm down. It's me Nash." He says, wiping away a tear.

Nash? I've never heard of a Nash..

I shut my eyes, hoping maybe it's a dream and I'll wake up in my bed again. Not in the middle of the woods with some stranger.

When I close my eyes,
Instead of home in bed I'm back in the woods, but with someone else.

-FLASHBACK-

"It's beautiful Jack." I say sitting by the stream.

He sits next to me, watching the ripples in the water.

I freeze at the sound of a loud roar.

"Don't move." I whisper to him, his dark eyes turning huge.

"Wasn't planning on it." He responds quietly.

I feel the creature brush my cheek with its claw, and I come to realize it's a mountain lion.

Holy shit.

Slowly I turn my head and see that Jack seems even more scared then me.

I interlock our fingers and a tear escapes his eyes.

"Gilinsky, we're gonna be okay." I whisper again, myself now crying as the lion pulls back my hair.

I scream not being able to hold it in anymore.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

I open my eyes again to see the same boy as before. Nash i think he said.:.

"Where's Jack!?" I yell looking around.

"Jess he's not here-"

"Jack!" I scream, starting to run, "jack!"

"Jess! Come back!" the boy yells, chasing after me.

I make my way out of the woods and come up to a huge house. Outside stands a boy, almost as handsome as Jack.

I run up to him panting.

"Jess are you okay!?" His deep voice says.

"Why are you calling me that? Where's Jack Gilinsky?" I ask, looking around.

His brown eyes get big, and he puts his hand through his brown hair.

"Jess, Jack passed away awhile ago... It's Cameron, Jess please remember." I can tell he's on the verge of tears.

Cameron? Nash? Who are these people!?

I just want Jack. He can't be dead.

"JACK!!" I screech running down the drive way.

"Jess!" The boy Cameron yells.

Then I hear two sets of foot steps.

"Jessi!" Nash screams.

But I keep running.

Jack can't be dead.. He's the only person I know..
