Run & Hide ☠ Sequel

099☠

   "Scarlett!" Spencer exclaimed, rushing inside to engulf me in a warm hug.

  I felt overwhelmed again, tears blurring my vision as I hugged my bestfriend back, feeling utterly blessed that the surgery was a success and I could remember everything. After Harry and I were reunited, he told me he had some urgent work to do and left me with Jade and Vicky for the day. We had some girl time, shopping and some spa time of course. But when I got back, Harry had thrown me a surprise party. I almost went on attack mode when they all screamed surprised, but luckily I calmed down immediately when I saw Harry.

  Even though I told him I didn't want to do anything, Harry insisted we hold some sort of dinner party to celebrate the surgery's success and most of all: my birthday. Today also happened to be the day I started out in The Organization, a very memorable day indeed. The whole of Valkyrie was invited, along with Dexter and Louis, Mark and Sullivan, Liam and Sami too. It was held at our apartment; Harry had ordered enough food for all of us.

  The evening felt like an emotional ride for me, meeting specific people only to feel a rush of memories relating to that person, fill me up over and over again. It was becoming overwhelming quite often to a point where I had to take a break every now and then to avoid getting a headache, since I was supposed to be resting but Sullivan said one night was fine.

   I let go of Spencer, smiling warmly at him as he grinned back. "I'm so happy you remember Scarlett," he said sincerely.

   "I am too Spencer. It broke my heart when I couldn't remember you, especially after you told me we were best friends for six years!" I exclaimed, making him chuckle and nod.

  Him laughing immediately took me back to the time I was crushing on Zayn, watching him from the distance before dropping my ice cream when he winked at me. Spencer laughed so hard; he was clutching his stomach in pain, wiping away tears as I felt my cheeks flush in embarrassment. Little things such as that occurred regularly tonight, me meeting someone, them doing something that instantaneously triggered a memory or a flashback.

   "Well now you do," he smiled warmly at me, before Vicky called him from the other side of the room.

  He excused himself, approaching Vicky with a special smile on his face that only appeared when he looks at her specifically. My heart melted in my chest when I watched them in the distance, chatting lightly amongst themselves with Spencer's arm wrapped around her waist holding her close while she laughed at probably one of his lame puns.

  The sight made me smile, happy that he had found someone while I was gone, who helped him cope with the grief and negativity for when he lost his eye. Vicky was a sweet girl, I don't know why the past me got some weird vibes from her, probably because she always stared at Harry in a certain way. But now I needn't to worry about that.

   "Hey," A voice spoke up from behind me, pulling me out of my thoughts as I turned and found my self face to face with Jade.

  I smiled immediately pulling her into a warm hug as she chuckled and threw her arms around me, hugging me back.

   "Jade, I've heard so much about how much you helped this lot," I said, gesturing towards the crowd as she smiled modestly.

   "I felt like I owed it to you, after how much you helped me cope with the grief from Blaze's death, I had to help everyone out; especially Harry," she told me, as I nodded, my gaze momentarily flicking to Harry whom was laughing along with Spencer and Damien. "Also, they're all like my family. I would always be there for them."

   "Family," I mumbled, nodding to myself with a smile as I gazed around the room.

  Everyone was here tonight because of me, I found it sort of surprising really. I never stopped and realized how much all these people cared for me, even Vlad, and Max and Seth. I was shocked when Vlad came up to me tonight and apologize profusely for the way he treated me when I first arrived at The Organization. Seth on the other hand apologized too, for the incident we had that night at the club. I couldn't forgive him for that, but I now no longer held any sort of grudge against him for that night. After all, he did save Harry for when I tried to shoot his head off without realizing that man was the love of my life.
