Forgotten (sequel to Forbidden a Nathan Sykes Fanfiction)

Chapt. 19

After Liam and I dress, we go to the bedroom. I remember I have to meet up with Jay, this time, for real.

"Hey Liam?" He hums, glancing at me.

"I'm going to go see Jay. Will you come with me? So you can meet him." I ask. He makes a face and scratches the back of his head.

"Now?" I nod. "How about you go ahead and I'll catch up later? I have to take care of... Matters." He trails off, glancing down to his crotch. I chuckle.

"Ok. Have fun with that." I reach up to him and kiss his lips.

"Oh I will. I'll be thinking of you." He winks at me. I roll my eyes though no doubt, I am blushing. I grab my phone and wallet.

"Alright. I'll text you where I will be. Which is a breakfast place around the corner. Don't be too long, ok?" He nods.

"Don't worry, I won't. The memory is still fresh." He smirks. I roll my eyes and leave. I go down the stairs and find Justin packing folders and binders into his backpack. He looks stressed and miserable. I remember his text, saying how he hated uni. and wanted to drop out. I walk up to him. He looks up, his eyes tired.

"Hey." He gives me a lazy smile. I smile small back.

"Going to school?" He nods. "I think you should quit." He furrows his eyebrows.

"You mean drop out?" I nod.

"Yes. If this is making you so stressed- and I can tell it is- then you should drop out. Be happy, do art without being judged." He groans.

"You don't understand. I'll let everyone down. Dad, Mum, you." He sighs. I shake my head.

"I do understand. I feel just like you. I'm planning on dropping out of uni., too. I don't know when, but soon. I can't stand doing something I hate." He remains quiet. I have to hurry and meet Jay.

"Look, remember that pact we made? We will never do something we don't want to do? We won't be like everyone else? Well, I hope that's still on." He looks up and smiles.

"Let's do it." I grin and hug him tightly.

"Together." I whisper. I tell him goodbye and rush to the diner. Jay waits patiently outside, sitting in a breakfast table in the courtyard.

I go up to him and freeze completely. He looks up and grins. I am completely frozen with no words to say. He stands up and runs to me. He picks me up and swirls me around. I start sobbing. I bury my face in his neck. Jay sets me back down.

"Look at you, all grown up," He smiles "ish." I laugh and wipe away some tears.

"You got a hair cut?" He blushes and his fingers comb through his hair.

"Yeah... I got drunk and well... I got dared to shave half my head, which I did, but it looked really bad so I ended up with this." He points to his hair. I smile. He's grown a beard too.

"Not gonna lie... You look very attractive." He does a little bow.

"So, let's sit," we go sit down in chairs. The table is located outside and there are two cups of tea on each side along with a glass of orange, and apple juice.

"Tell me, first, how are you doing in this fine morning?" He asks, making me smile.

"I'm doing splendid. How about you?" He sips on his tea.

"Quite fab." I laugh. He grins. "So, what brings you back home?"

"Well, not sure. I'm here for a school trip. Real reason I'm here? To fix everything I left behind. Like leaving all of a sudden..." I trail off, feeling guilty. Jay nods.
