Lux's POV

"Jared, what are you doing here?" I ask in complete confusion.

"Well when I turned around to find you, you were gone. What's up? Is something wrong?" He asks, his eyes full of concern. I scoff at his oblivious nature.

"You know I really don't want to talk right now. I have to go see Jen at the hospital." I answer and try to push pass him and into Abby's car.

But before I can even take another step he positions himself in front of me. He has such a concerned look that makes me want to give in. But I can't, and I won't. I see Abby silently pass through us and into the car. I really can't deal with any relationship drama right now. Not when I'm so close to getting Jen back.

"Jared, seriously I have to go see Jen." I plead one more time in hopes he will just let it go.

"Lux, come on. Just tell me what I did wrong." He begs once more. He tries to reach his left hand up to put onto my face, but I take a step back before he can.

"Why don't you ask Olivia?" I state calmly and quickly slide into the passengers side of the car.

Abby pulls out of the driveway and I don't bother to look back at him.

"Boy troubles?" She asks taking a right off of the small road.

"You have know idea." I respond my voice barely above a whisper.

I try not to think about Jared the whole drive there, but its nearly impossible.

I take big breath in and release it slowly.

Now don't get me wrong. I could care less if Jared was friends with any girl. Its just the way he introduced me.

'Friend'

I roll my eyes at the thought. I can't believe him.

But none of that matters right now, I have to keep my focus on Jen. I need to get her back.

When Abby and I enter the familiar hospital, we begin to make our way slowly towards Jen's room.

Instead of rushing my way into Jen's room, as usual, I slow down and look at my surroundings.

I notice the pristine condition of the walls and floors, and the fluorescent light that illuminates the halls. I have the sudden realization of just how much time I've spent here.

But I don't want to. I hate it here. I hate that Jen has to be stuck here, and doesn't remember anything. What if she never remembers? What if everything that we've built is gone? The trust, the movie nights, the beach bonding, everything.

Ever since my parents passed away, I've never trusted anyone and been as open as I have been with Jen. Maybe Jared, but everything with him is kind of up in the air right now.

With Jen there never was suppose to be any maybe. Never a maybe she won't remember me. Or maybe I'll never get a chance to live with her again.

Maybe I'm just cursed. I must be doomed to a fate in which everything that's good in my life gets taken away. My parents, Jared, Jen, and even Abby didn't want me before.

Maybe I'm not meant to be happy.

Jen's POV

The doctors told me this morning that I'm in a stable enough condition where I'll be able to go home. Wherever home is.

They said I have to come back every so often for a physical check and go to another physician for a check on how my memory is doing.
