Olivia Conner was only sixteen when she was diagnosed with amnesia, it's been three years and she still doesn't remember half of her life but she's more than okay with that. She doesn't let that dark stormy night define her life, but when she meets a mysterious yet attractive tattooed guy who knows more than he's letting on, she finds herself being dragged back to the past.
View MorePresent Day.Olivia's POV.His side of the story is worse than I imagined.I feel like throwing up.I feel like getting out of here, of this entire apartment building, I feel like running on that sidewalk until my legs give out.I haven't cried, I don't know why I haven't cried but my insides are bottling up with all kinds of emotions.I love this guy, there was a part of me that said it was just lust but right now, I know for sure that it's love cause only love can make me hurt the way I'm hurting right now.But the question is, is this guy real? The Jace from three years ago was nothing like this Jace. This Jace is perfect and he makes me feel safe but what if he was just doing all those things because of what he did to me? What if it was all an act? What if I'm in love with someone who doesn't exist?I decide to snap out of my head and listen to what he's rambling about."Liv, please, I know I fucked up but I'm here now, I'm here for you," he pleads, stalking closer to me.I pin h
Three years ago.Jace's POV.I don't even know what I'm doing at this point.I'm supposed to be staying away from her and starting my brand new chapter but here I am, driving her home.I glance over to her and I catch her hand wiping her cheeks as she stares out the window.Shit."Are you crying? What'd I say?" I ask as I shift my eyes back to the dark road."Nothing, I'm not crying, I have something in my eye," her voice is hoarse like she's been crying a while."Hey, what'd I say?" I touch her shoulder."Nothing, I just realized that our relationship was just so... not meant to be, you know?" "Yeah. freaky, right?" I tighten my grip on the steeling wheel."Hurtful." She says softly."Hurtful." I repeat in a whisper."Guess you should have this back," her hands reach behind her neck to take off the star necklace I gave her."No, Liv, you don't have to-""I know but I can't keep it, Jace, it'll never let me let you go," she takes it off and holds it out for me.I know I have no choic
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Dunkin's cabin makes this party feel important, I mean, it is important, we just graduated high school and we'll be leaving our parents's houses in a few months and we'll be all alone in the real world.It's a little bit scary but it sounds ecstatic."Where are you going for the summer?" I ask Cass, passing her the joint that we came out here to smoke."New York," she takes it from my fingers, "I signed with a really good agency and I think it's time to give modeling my full attention," she says with a lot of certainty."What about College?" I shove my hands in my pockets."College who?" She places the joint between her lips and sucks in her cheeks."Seriously?" I chuckle at her response."Nah," she laughs, "I'll take online classes," she tells me."You have it all figured out, huh?" I sigh, looking up at the sky that rumbles with thunder."No one has it all figured out, plans change all the time," she breaths out a puff of smoke, "And you? Where are you g
Present Day.Olivia's POV.This is insane.I've never even been to New York city, I've never even dreamed about visiting the city but here I am.Cassandra sent me a ticket and she had someone pick me up from the airport, as promised, I spent the entire ride admiring the city, it's pretty crowded and everyone looks so busy but I think I like it, can't say I can imagine myself living here but a girl can't help but dream.Cassandra lives in a penthouse and it's freaking insane, it has floor to ceiling windows that make me feel nauseous, the furniture around me looks luxurious and I could die in peace on the leather sofa I'm sitting on.I've been sitting here for five minutes and she still hasn't come out of the shower that her assistant told me she was having. I'm getting anxious and impatient and my heart won't stop aching.Can't say it's because I'm meeting a celebrity.Whatever it is that Jace and his friend did to me, it's so important a celebrity sent me a ticket just to tell it to
Three years ago.Jace's POV.The drama.The fights.The scolding.The hard training.The excitement.The laughter.The meaningless relationships.It's all over in just one day.As I watch all the seniors run wild with excitement, ripping pages out of their notebooks and littering them around because whatever is on there has officially become useless to all of us, my thought is, what was the point? What was the point of high school?"School's out forever, bitches!" Matt screams in my ear and his girlfriend Daisy squeals after him.I push his face away from my personal space."Fucking finally!" Diego responds to Matt with the same energy."Did you guys hear about the last party ever?" Whispers Daisy as she wraps her hands around Matt's arm."What party?" Diego sounds just as lost as I am."Dunkin dumbass Dickinson is throwing a graduation party at his cabin tomorrow night," Says Matt with an eye roll."Yooo, his fucking cabin is sick!" Diego slaps my chest with the back of his hand."Ye
Present Day.Olivia's POV.A part of me doesn't want to but it has to be done.I have to find out what Jace is hiding. Now or never.The plan was to text Cassandra on social media but Myra suggested something easier.If Jace dated Cassandra in highschool and is still hung up on her then he probably still has her number, Jace trusts Myra with his devices so she's the right girl for the job.The new plan is for me to distract Jace while Myra "borrows" his phone and steals her phone number.Easy. I think.The only problem is that Jace has been nothing but sweet to me for these past few weeks, he takes me out on dates, photographs me because I'm the prettiest girl he's ever seen, he texts me first thing in the morning even though we only live a few feet from each other and he supports me and makes me feel beautiful.I don't know about Olivia one but no one's ever made me feel like that before, he makes me happy.But then again, deep down, I feel like it's too good to be true.Whatever it
Three years ago.Jace's POV."Hey, hey, hey, take it easy" Tyler yanks the bottle from my hand."I just can't stop picturing them having sex in his car while my mind was filled with stuff like where I was going to take her for our second date, I mean, I suck at those things but for her, I was willing to try," I rub my clammy hands against my jeans."What was so special about this girl anyway?" He wrinkles his face at me."She made me feel like I was ready to change, you know? Like I was ready to be a better version of me," I slur thoughtfully."And what do you feel right now?" He asks."I feel like staying single for a very long time, I don't want anyone else to make me feel this fucked up again," my chest heaves and I swallow the heavy lump in my throat."Yeah, the life of the party is the easiest thing there is," he pats my shoulder."Do you have any pills?" I bring my shaking hand to my neck, feeling the lump grow stronger and stronger."I'm not giving you any pills," he sounds det
Three years ago.Jace's POV.Today, I won the race because Olivia's parents are finally out of town and I'm finally free to see her at her house whenever I want.I can't stop thinking about getting the hell out of here and spending the rest of my night cuddling and kissing her.Yeah, I'm a walking cliche, I know."Holy mother of abs," Blair stands in front of my bike and dramatically widens her eyes at my chest."You like?" I playfully smooth a hand down my sweaty chest."Uh-huh," she nods and takes out her phone to take a picture of me."No, Blair, come on," I lift my hand to my face as an attempt to hide it from the camera."Relax, it's not for me, this is Cassandra's phone, imagine her face when she finds this picture in her phone," She laughs and I drop my hand, grinning at her."There we go," she takes the picture."Wait, Cass is here?" I look around the crowded place for the blonde."Yep, had to drag her out of bed and everything," she says as her thumbs fractionally type on Cas
Three Years ago.Jace's POV.Growing up, my mum made Milkshakes a solution to everyone's sadness, other parents would take their kids out for ice cream but she always thought milkshakes were better than ice cream.I'm not exactly sad, but I'm also not not sad. It's been two weeks since Olivia's parents showed up in town, two weeks since she and I had a fight over her moving around with her ex, two weeks since she assured me that he was nothing and I meant everything.I left it alone and we moved on but I barely see her, she calls me and we text all night but it's not enough. I wanna hear her laugh and kiss her while she's smiling at me.Anyway....I haven't been to Shake n' Sip since.... I don't even remember, well, I guess since Reign graduated, she brought the fun and humor to the place and I just couldn't see myself walking into the shop and not hearing a sarcastic remark from her.And yet here I am, drinking milkshakes on the counter, kinda like the same way a grown man with probl
Present Day.Olivia's POV.It's dark, it's raining, I'm drunk and I'm driving.I have a bottle of booze sitting in between my thighs and I'm crying, my heart hurts so bad and my hands are shaking, I clench my fingers around the steeling wheel in order to stop them from shaking but I can still feel them vibrating.Lose you to love me by Selena Gomez blasts from the speakers in the car and it just makes me feel like screaming.I grasp the neck of the bottle and I bring it to my lips, chugging and coughing out the painful heat it brews down my throat.What am I doing? I hate alcohol.I break out in more tears, yanking the necklace from around my neck, I stare at the beautiful star necklace, my chest squeezes and I throw it somewhere around the car, sobbing.I shift my eyes back to the road.Shit.I'm in the other lane, there's a car coming in front of me, honking.Panicking, I jerk the car out of the road, I hit into something, tires screech, car flips, glass splatters everywhere and....
