Chapter 4, News

Jason's pov

It has been two months since the wedding. Six weeks since the last time I have seen her and her memories aren't back yet.

Her mom texted me that evening, asking me if I was ok and why I left so fast.

I told her, Cira didn't recognize me. But that I would be there again the next day.

I have been there every evening in the waiting room for 2 weeks. until they decided to wake her up and she started to workout and get better. I asked every day how she is going.

Her mother kept asking me to come to her room again. I saw pity in her eyes when I said no. I can't go there and talk to her while she doesn't know me. Her mother said that maybe she will remember me if I helped her but it felt wrong doing it.

She remembers the morning before the wedding. She doesn't remember me picking her up. She does remember her birthday but she doesn't remember me being a part of it. She does remember her fall in the gym, she just doesn't remember me being the one who brought her to the doctor and talking to her.

Her scars disappeared after a couple of days and she probably doesn't remember anything about Vini's.

My family sent her a card but her mother says she didn't recognize the names on the card.

I got that it was her forgetting everything about this world. including me

I walk through the doors of the school to the lockers and hang up my coat.

''Yo Jace,'' I see Dimelo approach me with Karim and Darim next to him.

I walk to them while putting my backpack back on.

''Ey bro,'' Karim claps my hand and we give each other a half hug.

''How is she?'' Karim asks. He is the only one asking me from time to time. The other boys don't really seem to care.

''Better, not like she was before but better. She will be coming to school tomorrow.''

I have been kinda nervous about that. I haven't seen her in so long. I know it's gonna be hard not to talk to her, stay away from her, act like I don't know her.

I don't want people to tell her thinks she doesn't know.

We walk to our class.

''Does she remember you already?''

I look down again and answer him. ''No,'' I breathe in and look at him. ''She doesn't know what happened to her.''

''She will find out you know, someone will tell her. It was all over the news.''

I have explained to him why we decided not to tell her. The doctors told us that her remembering what happened could damage her mentally and emotionally. Someone she trusted tried to kill her and then was murdered.

It has been in the new, the serial killer was caught when he tried to kill a girl who was a family friend. When he knew people saw his face he killed himself.

That what everyone things happened.

''I know, but yeah, there is nothing we can do to prevent that from happening.''

He nods and we enter the classroom.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I open my front door and get to my room, do some homework en get down to the basement.

Under my house is a big room with e huge television, foosball table, ping pong table and all kinds of games. We usually hang out here at night if we aren't outside.

The place under our houses is all connected. Under Aiden and Nathans's house and the house of the 3 little ones, in the gym. Under Liz, her house is the investigation room. Under my house, the hang out room and under the twin's house is an office.

When I walk downstairs they are all down here. The twins just came from the gym. Nathan and Aiden are playing foosball.

I join Jake who is sitting playing some FIFA on the PlayStation.

I get the other controller and join him in a game.

''Yo,'' he sais not looking up but scootches over a little.

''Hey,'' I sit down next to him.

''How are you,'' he asks while grabbing a hand full of popcorn and putting it in his mouth.

''Fine,'' I shrug, while picking a team, ''What about you?''

''Yeah I'm good.'' He picks, AC Milan and I pick Liverpool.

We play the game in silence till we hear the door shot and both of us look up. The twins just left.

''So what will happen tomorrow,'' he asks me.

I don't know what will happen. If she will see me, if she will recognize me. If maybe someone will tell her about me or about what happened to her.

''I don't know,'' I answer.

''Aren't you gonna talk to her?''

I look away from the screen to him now. He knows the answer to that.

''No...'' It sounds harsher than I intended.

Valentina enters the room with a bag of chips in her hands. She let her self fall on the couch, next to Jake and looks at us. Waiting to continue our talk.

Jake and I are both silent, while Valentina watches us and eats her chips.

''Why not,'' he sounds as harsh as me and looks at me now. ''You need her, why can't you let yourself be happy? She is probably frustrated with the fact that she doesn't remember stuff from her life. You can help her fill the gaps. She needs you as much as you need her.''

He looks me in the eyes. he has been saying things like this since the beginning and I know he is right.

Now that Valentina knows where we're walking about she sits up.

''We will see how long it will last,'' My eyes shoot at her while she keeps on eating. ''I give it max two weeks before you two talk again,'' she says confidently.

They don't get me. I have explained so many times.

''Ok what if I talk to her and help her remember. Then again she will know about this world, she will know what happened to her, she will become a Vini again. I don't know if that Vini part is gone or not but when she remembers she will know about it again. Her scars suddenly disappeared and she doesn't know anything about our world anymore so I'm pretty sure she is not a Vini anymore.''

They look at me as if this is the first time im telling them this.

''So what if she remembers this world again? She wasn't unhappy knowing about us and I do trust her with our secret.'' Jake says and Valentina nods.

''She gets those scars before she gets the injury. The scars are gone because she already has been attacked, '' Valentina says but looks away.

We don't really talk about the attack.

''She will become a Vini again. She had just known about our world for what? 3 months and already someone tried to kill her for it. Am I really gonna put her in that position again so I can be happier? Over a year she doesn't mind about those little gabs anymore and she will keep on living her normal human live in peace.''

They look at each other but decide not to say anything anymore.

We keep on gaming for half an hour but after that, we go to our rooms.

I get ready for bed, tomorrow will be a hard day.
