Chapter 19
Samuel's POV:
We went to magnolias and had dinner and afterwards we ordered cocktail drinks.
We were just enjoying each others company, and it's wonderful, I love it, but it feels as if somethings wrong though, somethings different about Sabrina, ever since she came back from New York and I don't know if it's a good or bad thing.
She's also been acting weird lately ever since she got back. Like she'd get jealous for no reason over stupid things. Like back in, Miami she'd say that the cashier girl and I were flirting.Which we weren't and then she'd accuse me of stupid things on the plane all the way here as well. At first I thought that it's a normal thing but she's been doing it every day till now,and then she said that I was flirting with the waiter at magnolias and what makes it even more crazy is that the waiter was a guy. I also thought that maybe somehow she knew about what happened between me and Grace,but I didn't tell anyone about it, and no one could've seen us because it's far out of town and Sabrina was in New York at that time, so how could she know. I know that she doesn't know anything about that night with Grace. You see I'm really trying here, but Sabrina is just making it hard for me. Look I know what I did was wrong, but it meant nothing to me. I love Sabrina and I always will.
I switch off the shower and wrap the towel around my waist.
I head back into our room and get dressed.
The door opens and Sabrina comes in.
"Where were you"i ask.
"No, my grandmother called so I answered outside"she says.
"But why couldn't you just answer the phone here in the room"i ask.
"I'm pretty tired I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed"she says and ignores the subject.
"What are you hiding Sabrina"i ask feeling suspicious.
"Are you accusing me of something"she asks.
"No, why can't you just tell me the truth, why are you lying, your phone isn't even with you it's on the kitchen counter."I say trying to stay calm.
"You are accusing me of something"she raises her voice and once again ignores what I just said.
"I'm accusing you?what have you been doing since you got back from New York and it's gotten even worse now that we're here, look I came here so that we could spend more time together, I didn't come here to be questioned every single hour Sabrina"
"Don't you trust me"she asks.
"You the one that doesn't trust me"i say.
"Now you're just ignoring my question"she says and I look at her in disbelief.
"Sabrina, I do trust you wholeheartedly, but you're making it hard for me by lying like this"i exclaim.
"Look i don't have time for this, I'm tired and I'm gonna go to bed"she says and walks into the bathroom. She didn't even care about what I had to say. If we don't trust each other what kind of relationship is this.
Tatum's POV:
I woke up later that night by the sound of loud yelling. I sat up and listened more closely and realized that it was my parents arguing and they were arguing about me. Wow mom really didn't want me to get a house. I really don't get why it's such a big deal and now they're arguing.
I head to their room and knock on their bedroom door. The arguing stops immediately and I head inside their room. No matter what I'm not going to give in. I need to be on my own.
"Some of us are trying to sleep here"i say to my parents and yawn.
"Honey please, what can I do to change your mind about moving out"my mother asks.
"Mom, I need this please, can't you just support me"
"Look you don't understand, it's for your own good"she says
"Then make me understand"she is the quiet and looks down.
"See you can't make me understand because there is nothing to understand, I'm 22 for God's sake, I actually thought that dad would be the one to oppose, but it's you, I'm not a little girl anymore, why are you holding me back" I say and just sighs and head back to bed.
"So...can you keep it down please, I need to sleep, it's a big day tomorrow, me and dad are going to look at houses"i smile at my dad and my mom looks at us with wide eyes.
"You can come with mom"
"I'd rather not"she says coldly.
"OK, Goodnight, sleep well"i greet my parents.
"Sleep well sweety"my dad says and I make my way back to my room.
Finally some quiet. I get into bed and fall asleep instantly.
*Next day*
Me and dad went to look at houses that was close to home, but nothing interested me yet.So we came to McDonald's for lunch.We are done eating and I so badly want to ask him something but I don't know what he'll say.
"Dad I was thinking that i could rather buy a plot of land"i say.
"For what"he asks.
"So that I could build my house on it, from scratch"i say
"Oh I understand so,do you have any place in mind"he asks
"Well it's actually out of town, I really love it there and it's so beautiful and peaceful"i say
"Well we'll have to go look at it first and see if anyone doesn't own it already"he says
"Yes"i agree and he nods.
"I'll send you the location of the place" I say and send my dad the location.
"Ok and I'll send it to John and have him look at it and see if the property is for sale"my dad says.Johnathan Martin is our family and business lawyer and also my dads best friend, they went to University together and are still best friends since. Me and Toby used to call him Uncle Johnny.You know I actually think that by now all my memory is restored,i feel like I know everything now. Like there's not one thing missing. I remember everything, because I don't get the sudden flashbacks anymore either.
He pays the bill and we then head home.I'll show dad the place tomorrow. He'll love it I know it.
I head upstairs and i feel completely exhausted.I take a quick bath then get into my pj's. I head back downstairs to help mom with dinner. When I get into the kitchen she doesn't say a word.
"Mom I don't want you to be mad at me, I just want you to support me and it's not like I won't come visit"i say and take out the pasta sheets from the cabinet.
"I know it's just that I feel that it's too soon, you just started walking again sweety"she says.
"I know, but it's not like I'm moving out right now, it's still going to be a while"she takes the pasta from me I start making the meaty sauce for the lasagna.
"What do you mean"she asks.I start grating the cheese while the meat and vegetables are still cooking.
"Well, I'm not buying a house, I'm buying land, so I can build my house exactly the way I want it, and that's going to take a while because dad has to see if the property that I want is for sale first"i say
"Oh, Well can I see the property"she asks.
"Sure, you can come with me and dad tomorrow"i say.
"Sounds good"she says.
A while after we finished up with dinner and it was a peaceful dinner like back then when their was no problems in our family, when everything was just happy.
Samuel's POV:
Today wasn't a good day at all, it's been awkward between me and Sabrina, but I don't feel like speaking to her anyways. I did nothing today. I just stayed here in the hotel and Sabrina went out and once again I don't know where.
I look up and see Sabrina coming in. I won't even ask where she was.
"Hey"she says and I'm silent.
"Look, Samuel, I don't want you to ignore me so I'm going to tell you the truth"she says and I look at her her straight in the eyes.
"Ok, I'm all ears"i say waiting for her to talk.
"Ok,so yesterday I had something planned for you, something nice that's why I couldn't tell you because it was supposed to be a surprise but here, this is what I was hiding"she says and takes out a book.
She continues. "I got these printed from the day we met till now and I made a book of memories" she says and hands me the book. I look at through the pages and see pictures of us, from the time we met. Oh I feel so bad now.
"I'm so sorry"i say and put the book beside me and stand up to hug Sabrina.
"I yelled at you and you were just trying to do something nice, I'm so sorry, I should've just trusted you, please forgive me, I was acting like an asshole"i say and kiss her.
"It's ok, I forgive you"she says. I really feel bad though.
"Hey what do you think about sex in the shower"i ask
"I think that's a plan"she says and practically drags me into the bathroom.
Toby's POV:
After dinner I head to my room but stop in front of Tatum's room. I prepare myself to knock but I don't and rather go room to my room.
I wonder how she is.I feel bad for lying to her, everyday it eats on me,but I have to remember that it's for her own good.
What if she finds out somehow. What if her memory of Samuel just comes back out of the blue. What will have if she questions us about it, then what will we say. What if she never speaks to us ever again.
I plop onto my bed. I feel as if I betrayed her.Tatum and I aren't as close as we used to be,we barely even speak lately. The only time we speak is at the dinner table.
I just lay and think about my life, how did we all come to this. Living a lie. I feel like telling Tatum the Truth but what will happen once she knows. Will she be mad at us and will she go back to Samuel.
I can't let that happen I have to keep her safe.Mom asked me to stay here for the spring break.So my own house is empty right now.I drift off into sleep wondering what I should do. What would be the right thing to do?
Just as I'm on the edge to slumber I awaken by a asoft knock on my door.
I sit up and stretch before I get up to unlock my door. I open the door and I see Tatum.
"Hey, come in, what wrong"he asks
"Does anything have to be wrong for me to spend time with my brother"she asks and sits on my bed.
"Right"i say and I sit on my round bean bag chair opposite her.
"So..."she continues.
"I...actually think that I regained all my memories"she says and I'm stunned. Could she know.
"Really"i ask.
"I think so, I mean I didn't get anymore flashbacks for a whole week now so"
"What do you remember"i ask.
"I remember everything I guess, from when we were little till the accident"she says. I don't think she knows, if she did she would ask.
"Then that's really great, I'm proud of you sis, for fighting, for holding on"i say.
"Yeah, it is great, but I came to your because I couldn't sleep"she continues. "...Well,i did fall asleep, but I had a nightmare"she starts tearing up.
"It was the night of the accident, it felt so real"she starts choking on her words and tears stream down her face. I quickly sit next to her and hold her again my chest to comfort her. It hurts me so much to see her like this.
"Shh...it's ok, it's all over now, you're safe"i say and reassure her.
"I...I just thought that...that I finally healed you know, but I'm still hurting...so bad inside and I...I don't even know why"she struggles to find her words. The thought of that night in the hospital watching my sister fight for her life. It was the worst thing someone could ever see.
"It's ok, you're strong, you'll get through it and I'm here with you all the way I promise"i say and I feel a tear roll down my cheek, but I wipe it away quickly. I need to be strong for Tatum. I hear her sobbing lessen
"Are you ok now"I move away from her to take a look at her face and she wipes her tears.
"Yeah, I'm ok"she says.
"Can I ask you something"she says and I'm nerves as hell for what she's about to ask.
"Yeah,anything"
"Well, I feel like mom is hiding something from me, is it just me being paranoid or it their something, be honest"she asks.
"No there's nothing"i answer straight.
"Ohk, it's just that it something seems off with her"
"She's just worried about you, you're her only daughter so she's bound to be controlling"i reassure her.
"I know, but it's just overwhelming sometimes"
"Yeah, but you gotta remember, that mom never had a mother or any sisters, so she never really had a girl to spend time with"i reason with her.
"Yeah, you're right, thanks for being here for me"she says then hugs me and stands up.
"Goodnight"i say
"Goodnight"she says and leaves.
Maybe things are going to work out after all. I climb back into bed and instantly fall asleep.
Tatum's POV:
I feel calmed down now and head back to my room.
Before I go to sleep I text Brandon
Brandon 💕
Can u come c me
2morow plz
I put my phone off and and try to sleep again, but I'm afraid to close my eyes again. Remembering that accident wasn't pleasant at all,it was terrifying, seeing that my life could be taken away within a blink of an eye.
I fall into the midst of dreamland when I see I bright light in front of me. It's a truck and it's coming straight to towards me.I scream my lungs out with fear and I wake up immediately realizing it was just a dream, a nightmare.Iswitch on my lamp immediately.I put my hand on my chest and try to calm down to slow down my rapid heart beating.I'm sweating heavily.I take the glass from my nightstand and pour water into it and drink it, to try and calm my nerves down. I feel as if this is going to be a revenant nightmare.
Why couldn't I just forget about the accident completely.I wipe my tears and head into the bathroom to take a cold shower.It's been my new relaxing method. Taking cold showers.
I dry up and change into dry clothing.
I know that I won't be able to sleep now,but I'm exhausted as heck.I take my laptop and decide to watch a few movies rather.I head downstairs to fetch an energy drink and from the left over milk tart from dinner. I need the sugar and energy right now. I'd rather not sleep at all then go through that again. It's just miserable.
I decide to watch a series of Jim Carey movies, so that I could laugh and forget about everything for a while,it'll help keep me awake.
I just hope that this nightmare won't be revenant.
