Amnesia

Chapter 6: Flashback

*Flashback*

Jackson held his reddening cheek in surprise. Mixed emotions swam through those forest green eyes I fell for. The slut he was making out with stared at me with horror and fled the scene.

"Ana, I'm sorry," he apologized while reaching out to stroke my cheek. I slapped his hand away and spat, "Don't touch me. Why don't you go back to touching that other girl, huh?"

I spun on my heels and began to walk away when Jackson grabbed my forearm and spun me around to face him.

"Jackson, it's over," I growled. "Please, I'm sorry. Take me back," he begged. I shook my head no. That's when it happened. His eyes turned stone cold and he slapped me across the face so hard I lost my balance and tumbled to the ground.

"I don't even know why I even bothered," he spat. "You're a bitch, hideous, and you're going to pay for rejecting me." With every word he said, another piece of my heart broke. "And I will go back to touching that other girl," he remarked as he walked away calling, "Lila!"

He left me there, crying on the hallway floor, heartbroken.

I heard footsteps echo from a connecting hallway and turn the corner. I looked up at the ceiling and let out another sob. The person's footsteps picked up the pace and drew closer to me.

I buried my face in my hands and hoped the person would leave me alone. Two fingers lifted my chin up and I stared into familiar chocolate brown eyes. He said nothing as he sat down next to me and pulled me close to him.

He stroked my hair as I cried into his chest. I noticed his acoustic guitar was propped against the wall next to him. I pointed at it as I stuttered, "C-can you play for me?"

"Anything for you, Pretty Brown Eyes," Kane whispered. He set the guitar on his lap and put his arm around me to reach the neck of the guitar. Then, he started playing a song I knew all too well. It was Voodoo Doll by: 5 Seconds of Summer.

I smiled as he sang "I don't even like you. Why'd you wanna go and make me feel this way. I don't understand what's happened. I keep saying things I'd never say."

"I can feel you watching even when you're nowhere to be seen. And I can feel you touching even when you're far away from me," I sang.

Together we sang the chorus. "Tell me where you're hiding you're voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself. I don't wanna stay wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell."

We ended the song and smiled at each other. Our eyes met and I noticed his eyes reminded me of chocolate, which I loved. He glanced at my lips then back at my eyes as if asking for permission.

I nodded slightly and felt him begin to lean in. I leaned in also. Our lips met in the middle and, I know this sounds cheesy, but fireworks erupted. Hell, there were freaking nuclear bombs going off. I removed his cap in the middle of the kiss and placed it on my own head.

He smiled into the kiss and I knew Kane was the one all along.
