Chapter 106
Avery’s pov
Flashes, some quick while some long, ran through my head for what felt like hours. I am writhing in pain, my head unable to take so much all at once.
The migraine had gotten worse, the heat in the room seeming to suffocate me. And then the one that made everything come together. The night. Me on top of him. Me sliding him into me.
My gasp, his hold, his feel. His groan, my moan. I had given him my innocence. It had been him. It had been Xade. The memory, the connection between us, all had been real.
Why had I forgotten all of this? Why were all memories of him wiped out?
My best friend to my lover. The guy I love. Why had I forgotten him? I don’t understand.
A wave of nausea hit me hard and I gasped, curling up tighter into a ball. The pain in my head was pulsing and I closed my eyes tightly, calling out his name like a plea.
The door open, a shadow enters. “Avery?” Melissa called out, turning the light on. I whimpered, grasping the sheets.
“What the hell is going on?” She gasped, her rushing footsteps reaching beside me. I tried to peel my eyes open but the pain makes it harder. Her hand touches me and she gasped. “You’re burning up!”
I’m surprised by the sound of her worried and scared tone, especially with how we left things earlier. But perhaps she had a heart in her body after all.
“I need to call 911.” She yelped when I gripped her arm, forcing my eyes open. “I need Xade. Xade.” I croaked out, my hold on her weakening just as the last bit of strength I had left.
“Xade.” I whispered and let darkness take a hold of me.
The next time I woke up I am instantly aware that I am not in my dorm room but the hospital. The antiseptic smell was a dead give away and the sound of the beeping machines.
My head still throbbed but it had lessened a lot from earlier. Now it was almost like a dull ache. I shifted and peeled my eyes open slowly to adjust my vision. The overhead white light was harsh and caused me to wince.
I hated hospitals.
I look around, plain white walls, medical equipments…..my eyes snap to my arm. An IV drip is attached to it.
I blinked, shifting my arm slightly which caused the IV to tug uncomfortably. It seems Melissa called 911 after all. I bit my lower lip, my eyes moving off the IV to the door that suddenly creaked open.
Melissa slowly enters, her worried eyes on me. “You’re finally awake,” she breathed out in relief and rushed to my side. Her worry was cutting and our exchange of words earlier seems to be petty now.
“I was so worried, you blacked out and wouldn’t wake up so I called 911,” she winced.
“Xade,” I croaked, my heart racing. I remember everything now, down to how we first met. I remember it all. Even Kyan.
I shakily brought my fingers to my neck. Those nightmares were not just meaningless dreams after all. They were memories that had somehow been erased.
But why?
How?
Melissa’s brows pinched. “Why are you worried about him? You have other things to worry about right now Avery. That guy can wait.”
She didn’t understand. She never did.
That’s why I left the last time. Why had I gone back? Why did I end up in the dorm with the again? Things were not clear enough. I needed Xade.
I shook my head, trying to sit up right on the bed, but it’s a struggle since I have such little strength. “I need Xade right now,” I whimpered, trying my best to sit up.
Melissa frowned. “You need rest.”
I shook my head, what I needed was the truth. Something happened. The last thing I remember after Xade left was that I had been in his apartment. Xaden had been there, his parents too. And the Dean. I heard him in the living room area that last night but I never wanted to leave Xade’s room to know why he had been there.
Then suddenly I was back in the dorms. Xade…..he told me to stay away. He acted like we were strangers. Why?NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
I needed to know.
“Xade,” I whispered, looking up at Melissa pleadingly. “I need to see him right now. I need to go-
“What you need is to figure out what you’re going to do about the baby in your belly Avery! Worry about the baby!” Melissa snapped.
