We made it. The last chapter!
Now, okay, this is a must read.
The second book will NOT be on wattpad as stated before. The second book will be on Radish where you can buy chapters with coins (but keep an eye out I might have a surprise for ye like a competition, so there will be one more update on this book. If I decide not to publish it, the book will kind of be free. You unlock a new chapter every week for free or if you want chapters earlier you can pay with coins. This will only happen if I decide not to publish it irl so dont get your hopes up)
If all the *ssholes hadnt started on me, it prob would be smh.
To buy coins,, you dont have to be over 18. You can purchase them with an itunes card so yay. My name on Radish is: MizPanda
Now, I know some of you who won't read the second book wont be happy with this ending but life is life.
I wasn't going to have a second book but instead a super sadist ending. I put this past two people and they said that people would go mental if characters 'died'. So instead I changed the book up and BOOM now there's a sequel.
Although, in a few weeks I might upload the alternative ending where theres death. Yeah. Maybe.
So go follow me on Radish for the sequel AND Tina/Jace's book.
Keep this book in your library too because I will update when I started the new book on Radish so woo!
Thank you for reading!
Enjoy
-------------------------------
I was having trouble sleeping. I had a headache from trying to think so much. I was ashamed, embarrassed.
The door clicked open and I expected it to be Nurse Ivy but the footsteps were heavier. I peaked one eye open and my stomach turned when I saw the man I met the first day. He was looking back at Nurse Ivy who closed the door so I was alone with him.
Why would she do that?!
This man was a stalker. He sat outside my room every day even though I told him to go away.
I shut my eyes tight when he turned back around. I kept my breathing at a soft pace, faking to be asleep. I was terrified but had to trust Nurse Ivy. This man had terrified me the first day I woke up, he went crazy.
I was shocked the doctors let him hang around the hospital.
Silence carried on for ages, the only sound were my breaths. I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. Did he know I was awake or asleep?
Something was placed on the bed and I did everything not to jump or flinch away. The item didn't mean and I relaxed suddenly. I felt his hand brush against my back and instead of tensing, my body fell into his touch.
What...?
He did nothing else but I could feel his presence right there, right behind me. Then I heard him turn away. I was confused, why was he here? Why did nurse Ivy let him in?
I couldn't stop my curiosity and pushed myself up in bed. He stopped walking and held his breath. I sat in confusion before I realized he probably thought I was still asleep.
He turned back, surprise written on his face when he noticed me watching him. He seemed to flinch and back away for a moment. I tried not to cower back instead I made my gaze burn into his own.
"I wasn't asleep" My voice was quiet. Although it was quiet, I was glad I could at least speak. I sounded weird the first few days and I refused to talk but after a speech therapist came in, I was back to normal.
"What?" He asked.
"I wanted to see what you'd do. I had the alert button in my hands under the covers. Why are you here? Who let you in?" I bluffed about the alert button just to scare him if he tried anything now. The other questions were true.
"I'm sorry. I'm going now and I promise I won't be back" He seemed different from the first day. He seemed like a lost and confused puppy and pain crossed his face.
He won't be back?
"Why have you been sitting outside my room?"
"I missed you" He missed me....
"I don't know you" I admitted. I tried to keep a tough act but if this person actually missed me, I was hurting him. It could be a lie though, he was not the type of person I wanted to be around.
"You do. You forget me" He said quickly. I forgot him. I racked through my mind but as always, I couldn't think of anything. It made me cry, knowing I could forget stuff that was important
I didn't know what to respond to that so I waited. When nothing was said my eyes went to the item next to me. A soft toy?
I picked it up and examined it. It was so cute... adorable. I knew that I loved these sort of things. Suddenly I spotted something wrong about the plushie and I traced my finger across the spot, "He's missing a leg"
Suddenly a loud bang came and I jumped. My heart dropped and lights flashed and something fast was coming toward me. I opened my eyes and realized I was staring at the now shut window.
It was a window.
Just a window.
I caught my breath, allowing myself to calm down. I looked to the man, embarrassed by what just happened. I don't know what I was expecting but his expression hurt me. I honestly thought he was going to come over and grab me but he didn't move from the spot.
Why did he always come back?
"What were we?" This could help me remember.
"What?"
"You won't leave me alone" I frowned, "What were we?"
"You were... my maid..." The words came out slow as if he debated on what to say.
"I was a maid...?" That was the career I chose. I couldn't help but be a bit disappointed. Wait if I worked for just a man, alone... that meant, "A personal maid?"
Oh my god. I may have lost my memory of what happened to me but I knew what happened to personal maids. This man... was he the type of guy that forced you do things, "Oh my god, you! No, get-"
"Stop, we didn't do anything like that" He seemed calm when he said this, "We were close though" The truth in his voice made me relax once more
"How?"
"You changed me, for better"
"That makes no sense. You can't change someone" It was true. In my opinion. I looked back down to the stuffed dog in my hands, "Why did you give me this? I've received flowers but not something like this"
I wasn't going to admit it, but this was better than flowers.
"It's... special"
"What's so special about a broken plush?" I hope I didn't offend him by saying that.
What should you care?
"It's not broken, it's fixed" I watched him in confusion. They sounded like the words that would come from my mouth.
"Was I in love with you?"
I had to ask. He seemed to know me but maybe he could just be a stalker. If I loved him, wouldn't I remember him?
His eyes widened, "What?"
"I don't know" I shook my head.
"Do you remember anything about your past?"
"That's not your business" I said it in a harsh tone then felt bad. It was a sensitive subject for me, "Sorry, that was kind of rude"
Suddenly a smile broke out on his face. I had expected him to get angry or something but instead he smiles. He had a gorgeous smile....
"Sorry for bothering you, Evie" That name..
"Evie" I mumbled, "No-one here has called me Evie. Not Xavier or Milania"
"I think you mean Xander and Milania" I sucked in a sharp breath. How did I forget someones name? My brain was useless, something was wrong with me. I didn't realize my lip was out until he spoke, "I didn't mean to make you cry!"
"I'm not crying" I quickly wiped my eyess, "Why do you call me Evie?"
"When we first met, I was kind of mean to you. I said your name was to long and annoying. You told me to call you Eva but I made up my own name for you, and it stuck"
"Evie" I repeated. He didn't seem the type of person I'd like to hang with. He seemed to get angry easily and extremely rude.
"I'm packing your stuff, the nurse will tell me where you're going"
"My stuff?"
"You lived with me"
I lived with him?!, "W-what? I don't want that!" Well he did say I was his maid...
"I know" He nodded his head, "that's why I'm moving your things"
"Just because I'm talking with you, doesn't mean I like you" He needed to know this, "I'm just confused by you. You're scary but yet you try be nice"
He was weird. He made me nervous and I wanted him gone. I wanted to throw him out but something told me not too. I wanted to talk to him but I didn't
"That's not why you were scared of me in the past"
"What?"
"Nothing"
"So I was scared of you" What did he do? He had to do something bad, "Leave please"
"You weren't scared of me for that type of reason. It was a different one. I'll leave but I don't want you to kick me out"
"Why?"
Was there even a difference?
"Because I'm not going to bother you anymore"
"You're leaving? For good? No waiting outside?" I don't know why it surprised me.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, you don't need to worry. You should be allowed out soon as well"
"Oh" Why did I feel sad? I was scared of this man, I didn't like him and yet I was slightly upset, "this is cute. Thank you, Seth"
Seth.
I remembered his name clearly. Seth...
His eyes seemed to light up at his name. I thought he'd try talk more but instead he nodded his head with a small smile, "No problem, I'll leave now"
"I need to give it a name" I mumbled. I glanced down to the dog. She needed a name. Seth should help choose a name.
No, Seth's gone. He needs to go.
"I thought you were going" I looked up to him when I didn't hear him walk away. He was focused on my face before blinking and coming out of the trance. People seemed to think I was slow and stupid because of my memory loss, but that wasn't true.
"Yeah, sorry"
"Wait" I stopped him, "I need to ask you something"
"What's that?"
"I need your opinion on her name"
A name kept swirling into my head. I tried to think of names but the whole time a certain name kept ringing in my head, repeating itself over and over again. It refused to go, which confused me.
"It's a girl plushie?" He found this funny but I ignore his chuckle. I showed her to him.
"Does Poppy suit her?"
The moment I spoke her name, his face changed. Everything changed.
I got scared at the expression.
Shock. He literally looked as if he won the lotto and couldn't believe it. "What did you say?"
"Uhm..."
"Evie, what did you just say?!" My heart quickened and I moved away as he came closer. Scary Seth was back. He noticed this and he quickly backed off, holding up his hands.
"I-I said Poppy.... she looks like a Poppy"
"That's her name"
"So it suits her?"
"No I mean that's her name, Evie! You gave her to me as a present and you called her Poppy the second after my old dog! You remember her name!" His smile lit up the whole room and I almost saw tears in his eyes.
Poppy was her name?!
I remembered....
Or was he tricking me?
No, something told me he wasn't. No-one could act like that and be lying. This man I was scared of, the man I pushed away, was so different than I thought.
The door was pushed open and Ivy appeared. She looked between us before allowing her eyes to set on Seth, "Time to go mister"
A frown appeared on his face. I said nothing, I didn't want him here longer. I was surprised at myself, had I really remembered?
I needed to be alone and think about all this.
Although he still seemed happy, I could see he was sad to be leaving.
I was sad he was leaving.
He was leaving me now.
Why was I sad?
I was really sad...
He nodded his head to the nurse and walked toward her. He turned back to me and at the exact same time we spoke;
"Please come back"
"I'll see you soon"
We paused as our sentences mixed and I bit back a smile. Ivy looked between us then Seth left without another word. I sat there in shock.
He was weird.
He was like a devil but an angel at the same time.
I remembered one thing about him.
I knew that old Evangeline loved him...
Although I knew he had a good heart in him somewhere, it was different now... my feelings had changed.
*****
Seth's POV:
"She remembered!" I shoved Xander, "I'm telling you"
He arched an eyebrow, "You sure?"
"She remembered Poppy. Even if it's small, she remembered something... she said she wanted me to come back. Kind of."
Xander grinned, "Seriously?"
"No joke"
"You're like a child right now. You called me whipped"
I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but feel happy.
"Seth, remember. She had a serious injury. She may not remember everything... that could be the only thing she remembers"
I looked to him for a moment before Evie's huge smile popped into my mind, "I know"
I didn't care how long it took.
Whether it took how long it took J.K rowling to write her Harry Potter series, how long it took Milan to realize she loved Xander, how long it took Jace to get Tina in bed, how long it took me to realize I was in love with Evie.
I'd get her back, because she was mine.
