Chapter Nineteen

Adam

When the sun streams into the Student Center, I wake up to find a bigger crowd. Students file in and file out, shouting to each other across the room. I now have a couch mate, a red-haired girl who’s so focused on the book in her hands, she doesn’t notice me standing up. I stretch, releasing the tightness from muscles and yawn.

And that’s when I see her.

Time stops, my heart stops, and the melody begins.

The same blonde hair, same beautiful smile. The way she walks in, there’s no mistaking it’s her. My breath catches as I watch the way she turns her head, the way she adjusts the backpack over her shoulder, the way she glides through doors like the sunshine on the lake. She walks with another girl who’s talking, keeping Sage’s face away from mine. Sage pulls off her mittens and stuffs them into her coat pockets and for the briefest of moments, I see her cheeks, pink from the cold, and her eyes sparkling in the morning light.

Look at me, Sage. Remember me. Please, remember me.

Please.

My heartrate quickens as her eyes dart in my direction. All too soon, I lose my nerve, dropping into the couch and shifting as deep into the pillows as I can. I look down and close my eyes.

I want her to see me. I want her to be mine again. But I’m not sure I can bear her seeing me and not remembering, or even worse seeing me and remembering everything.

I can’t put her at risk again. I repeat the mantra over and over. Do not put her at risk again. When I feel it’s safe enough, I open my eyes.

She’s gone.

I hate you Zane, for bringing me here, and for making me hurt so much. I hate you for reminding me of everything I’ve lost and everything I’ll never have again. Something taps from behind me and I glance up, looking up to see Zane’s face pressed against the window.

I clench my fists as I head for the door. I’m about to become an only child.
