Chapter 17
Samuel's POV:
"Wow it looks amazing"Sabrina says while looking around our hotel room.
I booked the deluxe double queen bedroom suite.
It has an amazing view.
"It does,so what do you want to do for our first day"I ask.
"Well, for today we can just spend the rest of the day inside, before exploring the city, we can explore each other"she says and puts her arms around my shoulders then leans in and I kiss her back grabbing her waist.
"I would love that, but for now, we have to unpack first"I say looking at my one suitcase and her four.
Tatum's POV:
After taking a long and relaxing bubble bath. I choose to put on a floral dress with my white converse.
I go into my room and check my phone then I sit on my bed.
Huh.That's strange. No messages from Brandon. He always sends me morning messages and I figured since it's spring holidays he would wanna be here. I should probably text him.
Good morning handsome 😘
I head downstairs while mom and dad are busy preparing breakfast together, they're so cute. I hope that Brandon and I will be together this long. Nothing can tear my parents apart.
I sit down at the table.
"So what are we having for breakfast"I ask.
"Waffles" mom says and puts the plate of freshly made waffles in front of me.
"Mmm, looks delicious, thanks"I say then just as I'm about to take a bite out of my waffle my phone beeps.
Brandon 💕
Hey
Why'd u leave last night?
My dad needed my help
with something.
Oh, u could've at least
said goodnight
Yeah
Brandon, I understand if you're
still mad at me, but I want u
to know that you're the only
one in my heart ♥
Brandon's POV:
Tatum 🌍
(You're the only one in my heart) I wanted to say.
I'm not mad at you,
not at all, I could never
be mad at you.
U sure?
100 %
So will I be seeing u today
I'd love to, but today's not
a good day.
Oh, how come
Sorry I have to go.
I switch my phone off.
"Another round "i say to the bartender.
"It's not even noon yet"he looks at me strangely.
"Just give me another round"i say bitterly.
Tatum's POV:
"That was delicious"I say pushing the empty plate forward.
"So when will you be leaving for South Africa"I ask and my dad just sighs and walks off.
"Well, we changed our minds.We aren't going anymore,we want to spend our spring holiday here with you and Toby"my mom says awkwardly. That's strange, mom was so excited about going.
"Oh, but what if Brandon and I wants to spend our spring somewhere else and what If Toby isn't available either"I ask.
"Well, so far as I know nor you, Brandon and Toby have plans for this spring."she says.
"Yeah, but you were so excited to go to Cape Town South Africa, what changed"I ask curious to there sudden change of mind.
"Sweety we still have the rest of the year to go to South Africa"she says and puts our empty plates into the sink.
I wish that I could see Brandon today and now I'm stuck at home. What an awesome spring.
I decide to go to my bedroom and rather read books for today. I decide to read one of my favorite Romance Novels 'After' by Anna Todd imaginator1D
I could read this book over and over again without getting tired of it. I watched the movie as well, but I just hope that there's a part 2 soon to come.
Toby's POV:
"Mom it's ok I understand, I wouldn't want that to happen either"I say assuring my mother of my full support.
"I'll just cancel my plans for the spring.Tatum's more important.We should've known that Brandon would wanna tell her the truth, but you don't have to stress anymore, because I won't let that happen"I say, calming my mother.
"Thank you.What would I do without you.Your father and Brandon really disappointed me.It's like they don't care about her well being, your father and Brandon doesn't want to have anything to do with this anymore, but we have to find a way to convince them otherwise"she replies.
"It's ok, I'll handle it, I'll think of something, don't worry"I say reassuringly.
"Ok, then, just make sure to keep an eye on Tatum"mom says and walks out of my room.
I close the door behind her and decide to take a nap before I start planning on what to do.
All of this is my fault, its my fault that Tatum and Samuel met in the first place. I have to find a way to fix this mess that I've made.
Alina's POV:
"Malcolm, just listen to me"I say getting more and more irritated by the minute.
"No, don't say no more. I'm out of this, I won't do it, I just won't"Malcolm says, guilt evident on his face.
"But it's for our daughter's well being"I exclaim.
"Our daughter's well being? Really?" he scoffs.
"Really, do you really think that she's better off with that Samuel"
"I'm starting to think that you like this, plotting against your own daughter"he says and I'm taken back by his words.
"That's really something selfish to say Malcolm, it's like you don't care about your own daughter at all"I say feeling my blood starting to boil.
"I don't care about her?Our daughter was in a god damn accident, she couldn't walk and lost her memory and you're worried about her love life?Now that's something selfish, do you ever even ask Tatum if she's ok or how's she's feeling?Don't you ever wonder why our daughter seems so miserable,even after she could walk again"he shouts.
"Keep your voice down, she'll hear you"I say in a whisper scream.
"Didn't you hear a single word that I just said,I can't believe you"he says in disbelief and walks out of our room.
What's his problem. Can't he just support me, in finding our daughters happiness. And he says I'm selfish.
Tatum's POV:
I here a knock on my bedroom door and put the book aside when I see that it's my dad.
"Hey dad, what's up"I ask.
He comes and sits on my bed in front of me.
"Can't a father just come and check up on his daughter"he says and kisses my forehead.
"Of course, but I'm ok"I reassure him.
"Good, but I want you to be happy"he sighs.
"I barely see you smile or laugh anymore.I thought that maybe things would change after you could walk again, but you still seem down most of the time"he continues.
"Well, it's not that I'm sad or anything.It's just that sometimes my memories just crash into my head again and it's really overwhelming, because sometimes it's hard to understand, to process everything that I remember and not knowing what it's about, doesn't feel good at all"I say honestly.
"I'd love to tell you about everything that happened, but you know what the doctors said"my father reminds me.
"Yeah, I have to process everything on my own,take my time, be patient. I know. "I sigh.
"You know what, why are we even sitting so boring here at home, the doctors said that we can't tell you about the past, but to heck with it, we can still show you. Get dressed and meet me downstairs in 10 minutes"he say and before I can even say anything dad disappears out of my room.Now I know where Toby gets it from.I wonder what he was talking about.
"Hey, I was serious, meet me downstairs in 10 minutes"he repeats.
I laugh by the sudden appearance of him again.
"Ok ok"I say and get up from bed.
"Now there's that smile I've been missing"he says and walks off.
"Dad, but where are we going"I stand by my bedroom door and shout.
"It's a surprise"he replies.
Well that makes it easier for me to choose my outfit.
I decide to Dress casual with my black ripped jeans and a Metallica slightly oversized T shirt and I grab my Doc Martin's and get dressed.
I grab my phone and head downstairs.
My dad is nowhere downstairs, so he must be waiting for me in his car.
I was right. I get into the passengers seat.
"I'm ready, but where are we going"I ask facing my dad.
"You'll see"he says as he starts the car. My emotions go from excited to slightly worried.
"What if we get there, and I don't remember what you're trying to help me remember"I ask concerned that it will just be one big disappointment.
"Don't worry, you will, I believe in you"dad says and then starts driving.
A few minutes pass and we're outside a building, we drive around to the buildings parking lot and I get a sudden burst of memoria.
*Flashback*
"Dad I'm so excited, you finally brought me here" I say. My voice sounding like that of a little girl's.
"Well, you were nagging so I had no choice"he says and we both get out of the car.
I see Brandon and Uncle Ben too. Brandon's dad.
"Brandon, my dad finally budged."I say excitedly.
"Yeah,I can't wait let's go, come on dad " Brandon says excitedly. We look like we're about 10 or 11.
*Back to reality*
I get out of the car and dad does the same.
"Do you remember"my dad asks as I look at the building.
"Yes I do"I say in a mere whisper.
"Bowlero"we both say simultaneously. We look at each other.
"I remember dad, I remember everything, the first time you brought me here and the last"I walk towards him and hug him.
"That's great but why are you crying"he asks and pulls away to look at me.I didn't even notice that I was sobbing.
"It's happy tears, and just to be honest, this is the first memory that I got back that didn't leave me confused"I say and my dad wipes my tears.
"Well, before you know it, this will all be over and you'll be able to remember everything, you just have to be patient"he says and I nod.
"Yeah,I know, but for now, let's go bowl"I say and basically drag my dad inside.
We get our bowling gear then off we are. I look around.
My dad starts"Do you remember when..."I cut him off.
"When we used to come here in the evenings for the glowing illuminated lights in the dark bowlero rooms, yeah, that was great"i say finishing his sentence and smile at my dad reminiscing on how simple things were.
........................
After two hours of Bowling.My dad won, but yeah, I secretly let him win.
"Wow, dad I guess that you still got it"I say and he smiles.
"When did I ever lose it"he grins.
"Ok, ok don't get a big head now"I say and we both laugh.
"This was really fun dad, thank you"I say and hug him.
"No, Thank you for being such a great daughter"he says.
"Yeah, and this great daughter is starving so let's go, I'm thinking Italian"I say and we head out.
"Sounds good to me"
We soon arrive at Vero Italian.
We walk in and the scent of delicious food attacks my nose.
I think I'm more hungry now.
It's not that full,because it just opened 20 minutes ago. Me and my dad take a corner seat by the window. I love the feel of this place, the delicious scent of fresh Italian cuisine in a warm wood-filled dining room. Now this is what I call comfortable.
After we are seated the waiter brings us two menu's.
I look through the menu and I'm immediately ready to order. I look up and the waiter is already coming back towards us.
"So what will it be sir, mam"he asks.
"I'll have the Goocco alla Romana with the Caesar salad"my dad gives his order.
"I was thinking the same, just instead of Caesar salad I would like the fantasia salad please"I say.
"Anything to drink?"the waiter asks.
"I'll just have a coke please"
"For me sparkling water"my dad says and the waiter nods and takes our menus and orders.
"So dad is there anything else I should know about myself"I start the conversation.
"There's a lot but it needs to take time " he says shifting uncomfortably.
"Yeah I know, I just wish that things were different, that the accident never happened" I sigh.
"Me too, If I had the power I would do everything to change it"he says.
"I know you would dad"I give him a small smile.
Soon our food is brought and after we ate and spoke about dad's business dad paid the bill and we went home.
"Today was really nice dad, thank you"I say and he smiles and we both head inside.
I head upstairs and to my room. Today was really nice.
I take my camera and set it up to record another singing video for my YouTube channel.I scroll down my phone to look at my playlist and I decide to do a cover on Someone to stay by Vancouver sleep clinic.
I set everything up and I sit on my bed then start singing.
🎶 You were alone, 🎶
Left out in the cold
Clinging to the ruins of your broken home.
Too lost and hurting to carry your load.
🎶 We all need someone to hold. 🎶
🎶 You've been fighting the memory all on your own. 🎶
Nothing worsens, nothing grows.
I know how it feels being by yourself in the rain.
We all need someone to stay.
🎶 We all need someone to stay.🎶
🎶 Hear you falling and lonely crying out:Will you fix me up? Will you show me hope? 🎶
At the end of the day you were helpless.
Can you keep me close. Can you love me the most.
...
A/N
The end was just to have a little sneak on my personal Playlist.
