Will's P.O.V

        "I remember," Henry says when he wakes up.

        "Now you know the truth," Dad says. "About who you really are."

        Henry shakes his head in disbelief. I would do the same if I found out my life was based on lies. 

        "That's why I thought I knew Jane," he whispers more to himself. 

        "Your memories might've started to resurface when you saw her, but you couldn't contemplate what it was." Dad tells him.

        "I have to see her," he says and stands up.

        "Henry," Dad says.

        "Please sir," Henry begs. "I have to see her."

        After a moment he nods and Henry runs upstairs.

Jane's P.O.V

        It's dark. I'm paralyzed. I lay on the ground, unable to move. I don't know why I am here, I just ended up here. One moment I'm sitting with Henry, and the next I'm here. I remember I was in pain. Am I dead? Is that why I can't move? Because I'm dead? No I can't be. I just can't be dead. 

        "Jane?" 

        Henry?        

        "Jane," he says again. "I hope you're alright."

        Henry. I'm alright. But where are you?

        "Damn this may not be the best of times to say this," he says I can hear the smile in his voice. "I love you." 

        What?

        "I know that we've only known each other for such little time. But I know the truth now. I doubt you do though. I love you Jane. Please wake up soon."

        I can feel tears trying to force their way out, just hearing Henry say those words make me happy.  Maybe more then when Austin told me he loved me. I feel something touch my left cheek and I freeze. I see an arm start to form and then a body materializes. Henry is next to me, he's looking at my face, his fingers stroking my cheek. 

        I try to move my body, trying to touch him, but I can't. Henry's body starts to disappear and I freak out. 

        Please don't leave me Henry! Don't leave me!

        And just like that he's gone. And the tears start to flow out of me like a river.

Henry's P.O.V

        I sit next to Jane's bed. She's been asleep for three hours now. The sun has started to slowly start to set. I hold her hand, I'm afraid that if I let her go, then she'll disappear. And knowing that I've lost her once I don't want to lose her again. I can't lose er again. 

        The door opens downstairs and I hear voices talking. A short argument breaks out and William and Mr. Kindley try to hush the other person. I hear footsteps coming upstairs and are coming towards Jane's room. 

        "Get away from her!" A voice says behind me.

        Before I can look to see who it is I'm pulled off the chair and punched in the face. I'm dazed and I shake my head. When everything becomes clear again I look to see my attacker. A boy about my age, with dark blonde hair and blue eyes stands in front of me. 

        "Who the hell are you?!" He yells.

        "Henry," I say. I spit out blood. "Who are you?"

        "Austin," he says. "Her boyfriend."

        My heart stops beating when he says that. She didn't tell me she has a boyfriend.

        "You stay the hell away from her," Austin tells me.

        "Austin," I say standing up. "Has anyone ever told you not to keep someone away from who they love?"

        When I finish my sentence austin's eyes grow wide and his face turns 50 shades of red. He lunges at me and starts to punch me in the face. 

        At least my training will pay off. I punch him in his side and he falls off of me. I get behind him and put him in a headlock, not wanting to hurt him. He tries to get out but fails the first few times. Then his elbow hits me where the sun dosen't shine and I let him go. He's about to punch my face again when we hear, "Austin!"

        He turns his head and looks at the bed. I turn my head slowly and see Jane sitting up in bed. Her eyes filled with horror. 

        "Jane I-" 

        'Get out!" She yells at him. 

        "Jane please I can explain." Austin says. 

        "Get out!" She yells again and Austin is thrown against the wall. 

        I look at Jane and see the rage in her eyes. She threw Austin without touching him. This is what Eddie and Ann wanted me to find out. 

        Austin gets up and walks out the room punching the wall in the process. I get up and Jane tries to help me but I wave her off. She looks at me, the rage gone, saddness has taken its place. 

        "Henry are you alright?" She asks.

        "Is he your boyfriend?" I ask. Blood fills my mouth and I spit it out the window. 

        "Henry-"

        "Is he your boyfriend?!" I ask again.

        "It's complicated." She says. "I heard him tell you that and that's why I woke up. I heard you too."

        I shake my head. My heart breaks into a thousand pieces. She heard me, but she loves someone else. 

        "Henry I can explain," she says, tears falling down her cheeks. 

        I walk in front of her and wipe away her tears, she closes her eyes trying to stop the flow. I close my eyes and kiss her. She kisses me back and I pull away, tears in my eyes by what I am about to do. 

        "I have to go," I say. 

        She grabs my shirt and cries harder. "Please."

        I don't look at her. I can't stand to see her face. 

        "Henry," she says. "Please don't leave me."

        The tears run out of my eyes and I quickly turn around and kiss her again. She kisses me back. When I pull away she doesn't open her eyes. Her grip on my shirt loosens and I quickly walk out the room. When I walk through the living room Will and Mr. Kindley are both trying to stop me. I walk right out the door.

Jane's P.O.V

        I hear him walk out the room. I hear him walk downstairs. I hear the door slamming as he leaves. I sit on the floor and cry. I can't do this. Why do I have to go through this? What did I do to deserve this?! No one comes into the room to comfort me. I sit on the floor, hoping, praying, that Henry will come back to me. 

        I cry until I fall asleep.
