Into You (COMPLETE)

Chapter 49

CHAPTER 49:

Emma's POV:

'what?'

I hear my mother's whisper. I can hear the surprise in her tone. She expected me to say anything but that.

'i saw him today
at the grocery store.
But the worse part
is not that'

I say holding back a sob.

'what are you saying?'

my dad asks me.

'he doesn't remember me'

I say and sob hard. Jeremy pulls me close to him but the tears don't stop. I can hear my mom crying too.

'what!'

my dad says, not able to comprehend what happened at all. He doesn't believe what I am saying.

'no..no.. this can't be happening'

my mom says and my heart breaks after hearing the distress in her voice.

I talk to them for a few more minutes, telling them what happened and they don't believe me but there is some part of them that is glad that their son is not dead. We hang up after a few minutes.

I wish I could be with my parents right now. It had hit them hardest when we heard Ethan died. I can't even imagine how they would be feeling right now. It must be really hard right now and I wish I was with them, to help them with anything. My mind is running thousand miles an hour. So many thoughts are running around.

"What's going on? Tell me about it" Jeremy says and I don't know what to say.

"I don't know what to say. There is so much going on and I don't know where to start" I say in a confused tone.

"It's okay. Why don't you give your therapist a call?" He suggests and I think I should. She would help me put my mind at ease.

"Not today, I can't go through so much in one day. I need time to process it" I reply honestly.

"It's okay, I will give you some space. But if you need anything, I am a call and five minutes away. Just don't do anything irrational, okay?" He says and hesitates while saying the last part. All I can do is nod my head. He places a kiss on my forehead and walks out of the apartment.

As soon as he is out, I lay down on the bed and look at the ceiling. I lay there on the mattress lifelessly.

What has my life come to? It is too much to handle. The second I saw him, I was lost. I didn't know whether I was actually seeing him or was it just some illusion. And on top of all of that he had kids and most probably a wife. He had a family apart from us. it's just difficult to imagine that. We had lost all hopes. But there has to be something more to that. We had found a dead body at the place of accident and it was burner and Ethan didn't have any burn marks or anything.

There is still something missing that we haven't figured out. I have to talk to Ethan about this but I don't know how. There is no way he would be willing to talk to the lady who embarrassed him outside the grocery store.
