Jay's PoV
I want to tell him I'm still there. To tell him that he didn't fail. To protect. But I can't. I can feel his presence. The way he held me.
And even when O didn't wanna remember. Everything came back. And this time it wasn't gentle like a tide coming slowly but rather a wave that consumed me, whole.
Things I didn't remember before. Things he didn't bother to tell. Things I wanted and still want to forget. But I can't .
Because they're a part of my past, our past. His plan to break me. To take revenge. Then apologised and I forgave him.
If I chose to stay then I won't leave. But I'm demanding an explanation.
Explaining....that word doesn't suit him. But that changed. His behaviour. The way he changed for me...for us.
Keifer's PoV
We're in the hospital now. In front of doctor claudia peralta, ci:n's mother and jay's silcyartist.
"Alright I've seen her files. She's alright now" she hesitated and then "what I don't understand is how did she get her memories back"
She was asking angelo but I answered "our ring that has the past present and future written on it"
"What was written" she seemed awfully curious
"Jasper Jean Mariano Watson" A soft voice told. I almost didn't recognise her voice "That's right" I backed her up
"Miss Mariano what are you doing here. Yoir supposed to be in bed"
"Guess I couldn't sleep with all your questions hovering around" she answered with a firm tone
A tone that reminds me of her. The tone that she used when we first met.
"Well since your here lets go ahead with the session now shall we?"
"Claudia maybe later she needs rest" angelo told more like comanded but never mind
Damn! This girl really had the guts to het up and TALKBACK to claudia huh?
"Keif. We. Need. To. Talk" I'm getting goosebumps
"What, babe" I asked though it was obvious
"Why" she asked "why did you hide the truth from me"
I sighed "so you remember. Are you gonna leave me again"
"I never left for it to be again" that's the same dialogue liam said
"Now I asked you why you hid the truth"
"Because I was scared" I finally snapped "I was scared of loosing you, I couldn't bare to lose you again. Hen you lost your memory I felt like my world crushed and I can't go through that again"
Her eyes softened
Jay's PoV
His words hung between us like heavy smoke refusing to leave. It was heavy, consuming me, whole
"I'm not a doll keif" I whispered, voice trembling but firm "you don't get to chose what I remember or forget"
He flinched p. The first time since I woke up. He didn't look like keifer. Not like someone who planned plptted, nor the man who changed for me. He looked lost in his own world
"I know" his hands were trembling "I know jay. And I'm sorry. I thought I was saving you. But maybe I'm just saving myself"
I stared at him
"Saving yourself from what" voice softer now not bwcause I forgave him but because I needed the truth to come out unbroken
