Chapter Fifteen

A hand moved in front of my face. I was lying on my back, my body motionless but my eyes wide open. I heard Jasper’s voice like it was at the other end of some tunnel.

“Luna? What the hell is going on?”

I sat up. “Alex is a mess,” I mumbled, seeing Jasper flinch like before at the mention of Alex. I moved to a sitting position.

“You were freaking me out! It was like you were somewhere else…. Well, I guess you were.” He exhaled slowly. “What did you remember?” he asked with caution.

“Getting in trouble for the fight with Kevin, me having some kind of epiphany about the meaning of life,” I said.

Jasper smirked.

“And Alex with some random drunk girl,” I finished.

Jasper nodded, seeming to recall those events himself.

“Kevin. I remember that asshole,” he muttered.

“And now, so do I.”

Jasper smiled. “You know, I kind of wish I could relive these memories through your eyes. It has always been so infuriating for me to try and figure out what is going on in that head of yours.”

“Um, I don’t even know what is going on in this head of mine. I thought I had everything figured out until I started getting these memories back. Now I’m realizing how screwed up everything is—apparently for a second time.”

“Are all of the epiphanies wearing you out?” Jasper laughed.

They definitely weren’t making my brain any less confused.

“I’m sorry,” Jasper said suddenly.

“Why are you sorry?”

“You were right that day we spoke outside of the middle school.”

I furrowed my brows trying to remember what I was right about.

“I was playing the victim when I shouldn’t have been. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go through what you have.”

“That was before I knew about the letter you thought I wrote. You had a right to be angry, and it made perfect sense why you were so hurt. It has been killing me to think that you went that many months thinking I’d written something so heartless.”

Jasper was staring at my open window, and I desperately wanted to know what he was thinking about. “Well, in your defense, the letter didn’t sound anything like you. I guess I’d gone so long thinking that you were too good to be true, that when you said all of those things about coming to your senses, it was what I’d been anticipating the whole time.”

That wasn’t at all what I’d expected. “You have got to be joking,” I scoffed.

Jasper narrowed his eyes, and I could sense his frustration at my reaction.

“I thought you knew me better than that.” I still had the remainder of the school year’s worth of memories before the major fallout went down, which meant we would have been close for more than seven months. Yet he relied on his own insecurities instead of everything he had ever learned about me from our time together.

“I thought I did, Luna! I wanted to fight for you, or at least hear you say those things to me
