After Forever & Ever

Chapter 7

Hardin Present

If those are my last moments with her. I think I would be okay with that.

It felt like it used to. We were our goofy, playful selfs and it felt right.

The doctor and nurses wheel me into the room where they ask me to count down starting at 10.

10...9...8....and then it's pretty much lights out. Although I was really trying to make it all the way down to 1.

I am feeling back to when I was in the coma. I know I'm not awake but everything feels real.

And I don't know why my mind is wandering here but it is.

And it feels real like an instant replay into my past.

About 6 months before Landon's wedding.

I'm playing a show at this fest called "Wild & Wander"

It was my last set and I got off stage and went to the back  room and I was hanging out with a bunch of people.

Every show is like a party and although I don't drink or anything I always stick around.

We were back stage and this night in particular I was hanging out with Riley (the girl from the night Vance and Tessa found me at Rogue fest).

Well little did I know my ex Julianna is here.

And so she comes up to me clearly fucked up and starts talking shit to Riley. Well I don't want anything to do with any of that so I walk away. I kind of feel bad for Riley but not really my problem I feel like.

I decided it was probably time to call it a night anyways so I went back and grabbed all my shit then headed for my car.

And Julianna was waiting at it when I got there.

"I need a ride." She tells me.

"Okay well not from me." I tell her. And I am pretty mean to her. Ever since she started to use I have had no patience for her. And she fucking shows up at every show wherever I'm at and tries to act like we are still together.

She hops in the car anyways. "Jules I'm not giving you a ride." I tell her.

"I'm just going to The Deal (it's a bar) it's right up the street." She tells me.

"Okay so walk..."I tell her realizing she's still not budging. She tries to grab my leg and move her hand towards my dick.

"I'm not hooking up with you I'll take you to the fucking bar then leave me the fuck alone." I tell her.

We literally just pull out of the parking lot of the fest and I'm getting lit up by the police.

"What the fuck?!" I yell out loud as I pull over.

The cop comes up to the window "license and registration." He says.

I hand it to him. "Do me a favor keep your hands out of the vehicle for me" he says

"Uh okay" I say as I place my hands out the window.

He comes back and now another cop has showed up behind him "I'm going to need you to step out of the vehicle" he says.

"Did I do something officer?" I ask as I step out of my car.

"Slowly exit the vehicle and put your hands on the top of your car." He tells me.

He looks over at Julianna and tells her to exit and sit on the curb.

He begins to search me. And of course nothing but then tells me to move towards the back of the vehicle and tells me to keep my hands where he could see them. So I place them on my head and weave my fingers together.
