My future step brother (updating)

F o u r t e e n

-CHASES POV-
It's been a week since Lia came from the hospital. She still hasn't remember me but we've been doing everything together. Her physical wounds have healed completely but her memory hasn't come back. I've come to terms with it, that she'll probably never remember me or what we've been through, but she felt bad. I've caught her crying herself to sleep for about 5 times this past week because of her memory loss. I've told her numerous times that it's okay, that I'm fine to make new memories but she wouldn't let it go. She always begs me to show her pictures of us and tell her the memory behind each one. I showed her pictures from kindergarten to pictures from a month ago.
O: So wait we've been friends since we were 3 years old?
C: Pretty much yeah. We stopped tho when we went to high school for a reason or two.
O: What were the reasons?
C: Well, um, one of them was because popularity got in my head. I made other friends aka Jake and Axel you made your own.
O: The other one?
C: Umm...we were always close and we were best friends till middle school, then we thought of being more than friends. We did get into a relationship, but as I said in high school my head got into the clouds of popularity, you couldn't put up with me anymore and we broke up. Then, you started liking Jake, I got jealous and I started dating the one girl you hated the most.
O: Don't say Bridget..
C: Yeah...that bitch. We had a huge fight on that Christmas eve, when we spent it together since our parents thought we were still best friends.
O: Hold your horses. One I didn't think we had so much history. Two, why the hell Bridget? The plastic barbie Bridget? Seriously?
C: Well I did it to make you jealous.
O: Whatever you say.

We continued to laugh about Bridget and some pictures of us when we were little but I realized she zoned out.

Ophelia's POV

-flashback-

Young C: Merry Christmas Lia! I got you this I know it's not much but-
Young O: Chase I love it! It's a ring with our initials carved inside, I love it so much!

I hugged my best friend so tight that I didn't want to let go.

Y.O: Okay your turn now!
Y.C: Oh hell no! This is so funny oh my God! I remember this day as if it was yesterday, when we were fighting over the last piece of chocolate.

I gifted him a photo frame with seashells and crystals with a picture of us when we were 5 years old.

-end of flashback-

C: Woohoo! Earth to Neptune!

As soon as I snapped out of my gaze I jumped off his bed and ran to my room leaving him with a curious expression. I took out a jewelry box I had since I was 10 and I started looking for the silver ring like some type of maniac.

C: Lia what are you searching for?
O: Found it!
C: Found what?
O: This.

I was breathing as if I ran a marathon, I gave him the ring and his eyes sparked as he saw it. He checked inside to make sure he wasn't overthinking, hallucinating or even dreaming. And then he saw them.

C: O.N.M and C.C.
O: Ophelia Neptune Mikaelson and Chase Campbell.
C: How did you remember this?
O: Well, please don't get mad but the frequent zoning out is because some memories are...flashing back? I don't get a full vision or something but I see these highlights and those objects, like the ring or the photograph over there.

I pointed to the photo frame I caught him crying over, the one with us kissing on the beach. He followed my hand and looked at the picture.

O:Please don't get upset or mad I just didn't know what they are and-

He cut me off by pulling me into a tight hug, my face burried in his chest. I inhaled his weirdly familiar scent, apples and mint with a hint of expensive cologne which I couldn't quite recognize. I gripped on his shirt bringing him closer as tears threaten to leave my eyes.
