I'm not over who?

Chapter 62- Knights of the round cafeteria table (and Merlin)

Elise's Pov-

After a long, slightly boring one sided talk about Ashley's love life, or rather, lack of one, she finally decided it was time to move onto mine.

"So no improvements between you and Ty?"

I shook my head and wrote my response on the notepad Ian had given me earlier. Nope, none at all. Atleast I don't think there has been... Not that I can exactly remember if there has been.

"What do you mean you can't remember?"

I just don't remember the last week of my life, at all. It sucks because apparently something big happened to me and now I have this strangely timed case of Amnesia so I don't know what it was. All I know is that whatever happened it came with a side of post traumatic stress disorder.

"Elise that's horrible!" Ashley said as she looked over at the door as Jerome walked in.

"What's horrible?" He questioned as he took a seat next to Ash.

"The fact that Elise has some form of PTSD," she explained to him. I nodded my head too.

Jerome looked startled at how she knew this. Speaking of which he didn't seem at all surprised to see her sitting next to me, Mitch and Emily must have told him. Or he saw Stampy and Squid and put the two together, he's a smart Bacca... Occasionally.

"Ashley no offence but how on earth did you of all people know about that?"

"Oh, Elise told me. No offence taken by the way," she chirped happily.

Jerome's eyes widened and he slowly turned his head to me. When we made eye contact I smiled brightly and waved. "Elise? Again no offence, but do you know? You wasn't supposed to know about that..."

Just like Ash said before, no offence taken. Adam told me, well more like shouted it at me... I guess that was my fault for being slightly rude to him earlier. And I know I'm not supposed to know about that, he said so himself.

"Then why did he tell you?"

The hell if I know. If he wasn't supposed to tell me, I don't know why he did. He's not an idiot- most of the time- so why?

"That's what I want to know... Hmm," Jerome stayed quiet for a second or two before standing up out of his chair. "I'm going to go ask him myself. Ashley you come with me, Elise... You stay here and get some rest."

What else was I supposed to do? Do cartwheels whilst hooked up to a drip? Got it commander. You go and interrogate my brother for being a twat. I'll sleep.

They left and once again I was left alone to my own thoughts, which I didn't entirely mind, it was some of the best company I had sometimes... I mean sure my thoughts could scare me and would probably get me thrown into an asylum if anyone was to read them. But it was better than nothing, right?

Emily's Pov-

I was still fuming from when I stormed out of Elises hospital room but atleast now I had calmed down enough to have a civil conversation with a person and not want to shove my foot so far up their-

"Emily? Are you listening to me?" Lillie questioned as she elbowed me to get my attention.

"Ahahaha... About that... No, not at all," I laughed awkwardly.

She rolled her eyes and gestured at the table in which we sat at. "It's your turn to pick up a card."

The entire group minus Ashley, Adam and Jerome, who had left for the bathroom a while ago, were sat in the 24 hour cafeteria at one of the round tables playing card games. At this moment in time it was sevens and apparently my go to pick up a card.

And of course because we were sat at a round table the only british people thought it was relevant to dub us after the Knights. Joe dubbing himself King Arthur and David being Lancelot. And of course Mitch jumped on the bandwagon and called himself Merlin.

I picked up a card from the pack slowly turned it over. I was aiming for 4, 5, 6, and 7 of spades and then three kings, of which I currently had 4, 5 and 6 and two kings. But with my luck it was a 7 of hearts. That is insanely unsatisfactory...

"I suck at this game," I pouted.

"Then I don't know what you're implying about the rest of us, because you're winning," Mitch laughed as he ruffled my hair. He'd seen my deck because we decided that since he was next to me we'd help each other, unlike Lillie who down right refused to help Tyler, the current loser with none of his cards being consecutive in the same deck or the same at all.

I frowned at him and stuck out my tongue. "Well obviously I'm implying that you all suck even worse then me."

Mitch mocked being hurt before laughing and playing his turn. I'm so bored...

Adam's Pov-

It was pretty cold outside but I didn't want to stay inside with everyone else. Emily and Mitch and, I'm pretty sure Ashley, Joe and David too, were annoyed at me for not telling them that Elise had woken up. (book is done, everyone go home. Jokes.) If this is how Jason felt after we all found out that he had kissed Elise, and not the other way around, then damn. Wait he probably felt worse, at least I was certain that I actually had a home to go back to. I wonder what he was doing right now? I lent forward and stared at the floor.

I heard footsteps and then someone sat down on the same bench as me. "Adam," they started. I looked to my right and saw Jerome sat next to me. "Why are you out here? Do you know how long it's taken me to find you?"

"Like 5 minutes," I responded.

"Yes, but that's not the point," Jerome laughed. "I need to ask you something. Something you might not really want to answer but I need an answer."

I nodded my head. It was silent before he spoke up again.

"Elise wasn't supposed to know about her PTSD, it's clear the memories of what happened have been locked away for a specific reason, even the doctors have told us that. We wasn't supposed to tell her, so why did you?"
