Gone

Chapter 39 - Amnesia

FLASHBACK:

- Seriously, we took so long because he was picking flavour - she stuttered, chuckling - flavoured condoms.

I laughed and she started laughing too. Raphael was probably red and pissed at her.

-Anyway, Jade fell asleep, but keep the pills near. She might need them when she wakes up.

- Thanks for everything. - Dianna honestly said.

- You don't need to thank me. Now go to bed. It's late.

-That was what I was about to do. - She admitted. - Goodnight.

- Goodnight. Raphael where are you going to sleep?

- With Dianna.- He winked at me, making me really confused. Did something happened in the pharmacie? I wasn't really understanding him.

- With who??? - Dianna whispered taken by surprise and coming closer to Raphael. 

CURRENTLY:

- Don't forget I have your knife in my pocket. -  Raphael said, feeling like a smart-ass.

- Not anymore. - she replied, showing him the knife. - You are gonna sleep alone tonight and you are going to shut up about it.

He's not one of those guys that can be easily shut up. He's very dangerous. He knows all the tricks in the book, if there is one. I don't fully understand why he lets her overpower him.

When he's next to her, he acts, don't take me wrong, like a little kitten and when she's not around he acts normal. Dark, threatening,wise,arrogant, his usual self.

Of course. He fancies her. I discretly cleaned my face and hid my bloody hand and turned to them.

Swiftly he moved and grabbed her, and somehow her knife was brushing her neck.

- One important rule: never show your opponent what you got up your sleeve - he said and he looked at me trying to pass some kind of message between the line - because it can get you killed.

- Another very important rule: - she took a pause before speaking again - Don't be distracted by a woman's neckline. - she finished saying and got free from his grip and pointing him his own gun and putting her knife in her pocket.

- Well played. Now, give me the gun.

She handed it to him with a smirk playing on her lips and walked away.

- Mate, you knew she had took the gun from your pocket.- I told him. Why did you let her win?

- Because, is for her not to feel a loser when I do not let her win. - he said, a dark smirk growing on his face.

 Did I mentioned... arrogant?

I rolled my eyes at him and chuckled.

- Sleep here on the couch mate.

- Really? What about you? - he asked worried.

- Don't stress over it, I'll sleep in the other living room.

- Then, goodbye.

- Bye.

He walked to the linving room and I glanced quickly at the frabric wrapped around my hand, it was red. Shit.

I went to the bathroom and made the bandage and took an aspirine. 

Damien'S POV:

Suddendly I heard her moving, her back was facing me, shortly after a few sobs escaped from her mouth.

I got off the chair, sat down next to her and put my arm resting on her waist.

- What's wrong? Are you hurting? - I asked whispering.

She just turned to me and opened her arms to me. I hugged her and she tried to hold back the tears but couldn't. She hugged me even tighter and cried even harder. Her breath became erratic and she sobbed so much that she almost couldn't breathe.

- Hey.. hey.. - I whispered moving away enough to face her and put one arm in her waist and another next to her face - what happened? Why are you crying?

 Her breathing became slightly more calm when she looked at me. There was a silence for a couple minutes. Not an awkward silence. No. A comfortable silence. She was looking at my eyes and I was looking at hers.

The tears were still falling, but not so much as before.

I cleaned away her tears and smiled at her.

- It was just a nightmare. - she spoke softly and her voice cracked unintentionally.

- What happened in the nighmare?

- You were there with me. We were in a field. A really beautiful one, full of colorful flowers and trees. We were talking and you, out of the sudden, grabbed your belly and your white shirt started getting all bloody in that area. I turned back and there was a faceless guy saying "he can't save you anymore". I looked back at you and you were on the floor dead and the guy was walking towards me, I tried to run but my legs wouldn't move. - she whispered starting to cry again.

- Please don't cry. I'm here. - I said hugging her again and caressing her blonde messy hair. She hugged me back tight. Almost like she was afraid I was going to disappear in thin air. - And I will always protect you no matter what. Nobody is going to hurt you.

JADE'S POV:

- And I will always protect you no matter what. Nobody is going to hurt you. - he said and hugged me tighter.

My whole body started working again and my eyes closed. 

Flashes of my whole life appeared in my mind. They were really fast and they were making my head hurt.

When I learned how to ride a bike, Falling from the bike, the dinners with my friends, Dianna's first boyfriend, my 15th birthday, school, my bestfriend.

A car crash. There was lot of smoke. Fire in the car. The ambulance arriving.

"Excuse me miss. I'm sorry. They didn't make it"

My sister crying, nights wake looking at the sunrise, first love, first kiss, a ruined dinner.Laughs, Raphael, Nick, Damien.

The beach, the car, the hospital, the house.

Torture.

Everything was hitting me like a big wave. Good times and bad times.

I am sure Damien noticed me stop breathing, because was shaking me, asking "what's wrong" and looking at me with a worried look on his big blue eyes.

My gaze met his.

- I remember everything.
