Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 12 - Lost

Her number was disconnected. Um..

"Why is Ava's number disconnected?" I questioned. It turned to an awkward silence, and my mom grew sad once again.

"Honey, Ava died a few months ago." She said softly.

Tears arose to my eyes. I started bawling.

"How?" I cried.

"She got in a car crash, I'm so sorry." I've never seen my dad in this much pain, watching me cry.

  /////////

After a couple hours of crying over Ava, I was ready to find out more about what I missed.

"Can I have some time with Jack?" I asked.

"Of course." My mom stood up with my dad and walked out of the room. He put his chair closer to me.

"Hi." He looked at me.

I smiled. "Hi.."

"I'm so sorry that this happened.." He said.

  "It's not your fault.. So um, can you like, tell me about me? Tell me how we met? What do we have going?"

  He sighed. "Of course."

"So basically we met at your work- that pizza place in Ralston in July. I was with all the boys- you know Nash, Matt, Cam, Hayes- all them. You were our waitress. I immediately thought you were so gorgeous and I ended up getting your number. After that, I took you on a date. You were at my house a lot after that with Ava, because she was with Nash. We were all like best friends. Cam went into a coma, and it bonded us closer together. He's completely fine now. We ended up getting pretty deep into a relationship.. I mean, we're already at the I love you's and.... Stuff. Anyways, I really do love you. You're a model and one hell of a singer and I'm lucky to have you. I could go on for days, but that's a summary."

I took a moment to take it all in. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Wait so.. When you say like, stuff... Does that mean.. Um, like-"

"Like sex?" He asked.

I blushed. "Don't say it so loud."

He bit his bottom lip and smiled. "Yeah, we've done that a few times."

I was so nervous. "Like how many?"

"9 times."

'A few' my ass. I widened my eyes. Jesus Christ.

He was chuckling to himself.

"It's not funny." I laughed.

"I'm sorry.. It's just that, you're so innocent again. I think it's super cute."

"I thought I was going to save.. That for a little bit longer.."

"Yeah, you told me that. I totally respected the idea too- because I'd wait for as long as you wanted me to wait. But you said that I made it impossible to wait and we just started.."

I covered my face. Oh no.

"Don't be embarrassed." He smirked.

"You've seen me, like, naked."

He nodded and licked his lips. "I have."

"Am I good?" I whispered.

He bursted out laughing, and I did too.

"I'm being serious!" I laughed.

"Okay, being dead honest, you're better than any other girl I've had sex with. You're like this cute little innocent girl on the outside and then you're totally not in the bedroom."

I covered my mouth and raised my eyebrows. I was blushing so hard.

Jack's POV:

It was like meeting her for the first time again, except I knew everything about her, and she knew absolutely nothing about me. I felt so stupid. Am I going to have to make her love me again? What if she doesn't? What if her mindset is different now?

I was hurting inside like never before. I wasn't going to tell her that, because I didn't want to upset her. I just felt like I was losing her and there's nothing I can do.

But at this moment, her cute reactions were making things better.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"For what?"

"For not remembering anything! I honestly am really mad at myself." She seemed nervous when she was talking to me.

"It's okay.." I said.

"So you love me?" She asked.

Yeah, I mean, I love her and she doesn't love me back. That's what really hurt me.

I nodded. "I do, and I think I always will."

She shook her head, and a small tear ran down her face.

"It's possible that I'm going to get my memory back. Like he said.. And if I don't.. I'm willing to restart with you?" She said.

Those words hit me like a train. I didn't want to restart. That's like experiencing our first everything, except I've already done it once. But if it was my absolute last resort, then it's what had to be done. No way in hell that I'd lose this girl.

"Yeah, yeah.. I'm okay with that."

"Okay.."

Her dad peeked in the room.

"Are we okay to come back inside?"

We both nodded.

They both came in and sat back on the couch.

Paige's POV:

I was still upset about Ava and I kept finding it impossible not to cry, but I held it in.

"You guys don't have to stay here all day." I told my parents.

"I want to make sure you're okay." My mom stated.

"Yeah, but, you probably have things to do, and I'll be completely fine. I'm not going anywhere."

My dad looked at my mom. Hopefully they were getting the hint that I wanted to be alone with Jack.

"Okay." My dad shrugged.

They stood up. "We'll come back later tonight?"

I nodded. "Yeah, that'd be great."

"Well, I'll see you later then." My mom kissed my forehead.

"Bye." I smiled.

They left the room.

"Did you just kick your parents out?" Jack laughed.

"I just wanted to be with you." I grinned.

He reached for my hand and entertwined it with his. My pulse sped up.

"I love you." He said. "And I don't expect to hear it back, I just always want you to know."

I was pissed at myself. Why can't my brain just remember?
