JADES POV

If I had a phone I'm sure it would be getting blown up by now. I was supposed to be home two hours ago. Instead I'm sitting Outside starring at my window on the side of the house. Dylan walked in about an hour ago, holding flowers.

It Absolutely killed me.

I don't want to believe anything that Liam kid said. But thinking back to everything that has happen since the accident, it all seems a little off.

Like Dylan's story of the day he asked me out. I don't remember having feelings for him like that, 1 year ago when we went ice skating. And I sure as hell wouldn't have reacted the way he told me if he admitted to having feelings for me. It's just not me.

I can't go inside. There's apart of me that knows this is all a lie and that Dylan would never hurt me. And my parents knew too so there is no way he could be lying.

But another part of me cringes at the thought of everything being true. It wouldn't have just been my Bestfriend lying to me about who I am but my parents too. The ones that are supposed to protect me from harm and never lie to me.

So I can't go inside.That little feeling of doubt that could ruin my life won't stop lingering in my chest and i wouldn't know what to do if it was true.

I feel a drop on my hand and it's not until then that I realize I've been crying. I don't know when I started but I haven't been able to stop since all these thoughts have been lingering in my mind.

I sit in the car for 15 more minutes pulling myself together before I finally decide it's time to go inside.

"I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay." I whisper to myself as I walk towards my home. Although I know that couldn't be farther from the truth.

When I open the door my parents and Dylan are on the couch looking more worried than ever.

"I knew we shouldn't have let her drive so soon she's not ready." I hear my mom say

"She's fine honey, she's probably on her way right now."

"Mhm" I clear my throat so there attention is on me, "Sorry I was -"

"Jade were the hell have you been?! We've been worried sick. Goodness, you're getting a phone first thing tomorrow." She says glancing at my father and he nods in agreement

"Sorry I was picking out a movie, there was a huge line." I laugh nervously.

"It's fine babe, what movie did you get." Dylan comes up giving me the flowers and kissing my forehead.

You're okay. You're okay. I repeat to myself.

" I got 'Ride Along." I fake smile. He doesn't notice.

"You okay Jade, you look a little flustered." My mom says from behind us. I don't break my gaze from Dylan when I answer her.

"Just great. Lets watch the movie yeah?" I say walking away from him to get my bag. I grab the movie and pop it in the DVD player.

During the commercials I'm super uncomfortable. I try to forget everything that has happen today and just enjoy the movie with them, but after 5 commercials of overthinking I know that it's not possible.

"Excuse me." I say getting up and rushing to my room and into my bathroom. I hear footsteps behind me but I ignore them as I slam the door shut and rest my body against the door, trying to catch my breath.

I get up and rest my hands on either side of the sink.

"Come on Jade. Remember! You can do this. Think. Think." I say to myself in the mirror holding my head. I squint my eyes close trying to think back to my past memories. Nothing happens.

Remember me ? (H.S)Where stories live. Discover now
