It's a geek life (Aston Merrygold fanfic)

Part 17

This situation was like some sort of movie plot. I explained to Aston everything that had happened between us like how we met and everything. He was still giving me a blank look. Oh gosh! Of all the things he had to forget, why did it have to be this?! I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or do both at the same time. I sighed a little. After everything we'd been through I suddenly exist to him. I know it wasn't his fault but I though he'd totally gotten over his ex Jasmine and this accident brought it all back. However, it was worse now that he thought they were still together. How on earth was I going to convince him he wasn't? I had no idea. I really didn't...

3 years later and I was now 20 years old. I was training to be a teacher now and had a nice house of my own. I hadn't seen Aston since two weeks after his accident. He had asked me to leave because he found it so awkward and that he didn't love me. That is one thing I never wanted to hear. I can still remember how my heart broke into a million little pieces as those words were spoken. I'd ran out of that hospital with tears streaming down my face. I still loved him even though he'd said that. Nothing could ever change that. You wanna know what else he said? That him and precious little Jasmine were back together. What? She'd dropped everything to be with him. Oh gosh.... she was going to hurt him again. I wanted to stop her from doing that but there really wasn't anything I could do. Aston didn't want me around so I did what he wanted me to. Well there isn't much point being in his life if he doesn't want me in it is there?

I really missed him and he never stopped being on my mind. I'd tried to get him off my mind and even had a new boyfriend. His name was Ryan but now I couldn't get out of this relationship. He was abusive and controlling. I was hardly allowed to do anything other then go to Teachers Training College on weekdays. I was still friends with Paige, Sam and Fran though and they'd somehow managed to persuade Ryan to let me go to a club with them. I was putting some make up on and had put a pink lace dress and some leggings with heels. The dress had sleeves that came up to my elbows so I could hide the bad bruises I had on my arms. A few small ones were still visible but oh well. They were only little ones.

There was soon  a car horn beeping outside and it was the girls. I picked up my handbag and got in the car. "Hey!" I smiled. "Hey! It's glad to see you coming with us for a change." Fran smiled. I was the only real girly girl out of my friends so I was the only one wearing a proper girly dress. Fran was wearing a black and red Gothic dress and Paige and Sam were wearing smart dark jeans with some sparkly tops. They all looked nice though. Nicer then me anyway. If you can't already tell I'd gone back to how I was before I met Aston. A shy person with hardly any confidence.

The club had lots of people but I didn't mind. I looked around but there wasn't anybody I recognised I don't think. Hang on... I recognised one figure but I couldn't really see their face properly so I didn't know for sure. We all got some drinks and sat down at a table. Sam, Fran and Paige looked at my arms. "Let me guess. Ryan did that to you didn't he?" Fran asked concerned as I nodded. "Why are you still with him?" "I've tried that already but he just hurts me more if I do." I hated talking about this. They always say it's better to talk about that sort of thing with people but I found it so hard.

About an hour later I suddenly felt a jab in the ribs. It brought me back to my daydream of the day I met Aston. It felt like a lifetime away that it happened and like it didn't actually happen. I looked to see who did it. It was Paige. "What?" I asked her. "Guess what?" She grinned at me. "What now?" "Guess who I've just seen in here?" "I have no clue. Who?" I said rather bored because I didn't really want to be here in the first place but I didn't have much choice. Paige leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear. "Aston..." "Your lying to me." I said as I folded my arms. "I'm not lying! Look if you don't believe me!" She replied rather annoyed as she moved her head in a certain direction. I looked over to where she wanted me to. She wasn't lying to me. He was actually there. Aston Iain Merrygold was stood in the corner for the first time in 3 years. Why was he suddenly here after such a long time?
