[Jenna]
Clutching on my favourite mug like my life depended on it. My mind slowly thinking about the words I wanted to say to Abigail. She's sitting there waiting for me to say something.

"I wanna know what happened" I blurt out

Her face showed that she was confused "About what?"

"About my divorce. Who was my husband? I wanna know everything and this time I don't wanna miss a single thing"

"I.....well....urm..." she sighed and I felt like she's shutting herself down.

"Well what?" She looked at me with her eyes begging me to not ask this. But deep down inside I know there's something missing and I want to find it.

"I think you should ask Finn"

"What does Finn have to do with this?" I asked sounding annoyed that she won't just straight up tell me.

"He knows more than I do and it's best that he tells you. I don't want to say something that will cause you your life"

My lips were in a straight line. Why is she saying this? I grabbed my phone and dialled Finn's number.

"You know you can find him some other day" I looked at Abigail and shook my head. I needed to know the truth now. I'm tired of guessing and wondering.

He picked up after a few rings "Hello" his sexy voice answered at the other end.

"Finn can we talk? I need to ask you about something."

"Sure. Where should we meet?"

I told him where we should meet and he said he'll be there in 5 minutes. Without wasting any time I quickly drove there. Finn beat me there because I see him sitting at the coffee shop with a cup on his hand. He looks as gorgeous as always.

The ding of the door caught his attention and he waved at me. I just gave him a smile.

Once we settled down and I remember all the things that I need to ask him.

"So what did you wanna ask me about?" Sipping on his coffee

"I want to ask you about my ex-husband" he started chocking on his coffee. I quickly grabbed a napkin and passed it to him.

After he's struggles of chocking and coughing he finally settled down and said "Can I ask why are you asking me?"

I sighed and rub my temples to calm my nerves. It seems like everyone is pushing me like I'm just a bag of rubbish pushed around so that one responsible person would dare to dispose me properly.

"Look Jen,I'm scared that maybe you won't want to hear it"

"What do you mean I won't wanna hear you? I'm here aren't I? The reason I'm here is to find out the truth. Why is everyone so scared of telling me. Don't I deserve to know too" I was practically on the verge of dying trying to get the juice from everyone.

He sighed and look down for few seconds then look at me. Those eyes held fear,broken and many more emotions that I can't read.

"I....was...your" he closed his eyes "husband" to say that was a shock would be an understatement. I didn't see this coming at all. I thought he would probably say something like my husband is his best friend or something but nothing compared to what he just said. I was shock to the core and I felt immobilised. It's like something heavy has been dropped on top of me.

Then it hit me the train full of memory hit me causing my head to ache. I held onto the side of my head feeling the pain kicking in. The pain was so dreadful that I collapse to the floor. I could hear Finn calling my name I couldn't open my eyes because of the pain. Then everything went blank.

[Finn]
The thing that I fear most is coming back to haunt me. I see Jenna's helpless body lying on the floor and it scares me. She lost her memory once and now I don't know what will happen. Was it too much for her? People are surrounding us and whispers could be heard.

"Can anyone please help her" I said and the girl who was at the cash register earlier quickly came and knelt beside Jenna.

"It's okay,she's gonna be fine. She probably was too overwhelmed till she fainted. She just needs some rest and she'll be fine" I nodded at her.

I carried Jenna to my car and thought of calling Abigail. But when I turn to look at her sleeping figure I just didn't have the heart to part from her. Maybe after she wakes up she can't handle the fact and probably won't wanna see me again. This may probably be my last chance to be this close to her. To be able to hear her laugh and see the way her eyes glow.

I decided to drive her to my house. My heart pounding at my chest at the thought of her being at the same house we once shared. Will she remember the laugher we shared in that same house or will she remember the pain she felt in that house. How dreadful it is to not know how she feels.

Everyday of my life I hope to just take away all her pain. I know how the pain feels because every single day of my life without her is like a time bomb ticking every second just waiting for me to one day break and just die. Without her in my life I was so lost. The only thing that distracted me was work but after that,everything comes back to haunt me. I blame myself everyday and I know I deserve this but I just hope to achieve happiness. Just because I was once a bad guy doesn't mean I will forever be a bad guy. I am a normal human being that will sin. God would still forgive us once we truly are sorry so I just really hope she'll be able to forgive me and give me another chance.

When I reached home I carried Jenna to my bedroom. I tuck her in nicely and she moved a little make those adorable sounds. I grabbed a pillow and a blanket to go sleep at the couch today. I sat at the couch and texted Abigail that Jenna is staying over at my house.

What did you do with my bestfriend?!?!? -A

She's fine. She was too overwhelmed about the news that she fainted. But now she's resting at my house -F

I was waiting for her to reply but instead she called me. I picked up the phone and was welcomed with a loud shriek. I pulled the phone further from my ear.

"What the hell is Jenna doing at your house?"

"She's just resting. I told you through the text"

"Don't you dare be all mister smarty pants with me right now. My best friend fainted because of you and now she's sleeping at your house. You could send her home you know. What are you planning to do with her? Don't you dare rape her cause boy I will make sure you can't make any babies."

"I will not rape her. Will you just calm down and listen to me" I whispered in frustration because I didn't want to wake Jenna.

"Alright I'm listening"

I sighed "I just want to spend one last moment with her. By tomorrow she probably don't wanna see me anymore. I am a human being and I have feelings too"

"Of course I know you have feelings but I think your forgot Jenna has feelings too. Don't you ever think that maybe when she sees you she'll go through the same pain again? Can you stop being selfish for once and just leave her alone"

"I know I caused her so much pain and I am truly sorry about that but my sorries can't fix what I've done. I was so selfish that I lost an amazing woman from my life. After so long of not seeing her,it just felt like those old memories came rushing back. Please just let me cherish the last moments before she disappears from my life again. I probably will never have the chance to even see her again after this. She'll probably despise me so much she wants to move far away. I truly understand if she has the intention of running away from me"

She was silent on the other line for a few seconds then she sighed "Alright she can stay there. But call me when she's awake so I can go pick her up"

"Okay. Thank you so much"

"Don't thank me. I just know that my best friend deserves to know and I don't wanna spoil it for her"

"But why not you just tell her yourself?" I asked. Confused why she would ask Jenna to find me.

"Because I think that you should tell her instead of me and mostly because you know things more than I do"

There was an awkward silence and Abigail decided to speak up "Well it's getting pretty late. So ermm... G'night and take care of Jen"

"Yeah okay"

[Jenna]
I woke up with a strong headache on my head like I just drank a whole bottle of whiskey yesterday and may I recall I hardly drink. But then I remembered what really happened yesterday and I look around to see a different surrounding. The place looks the same,nothing has changed ever since I left. I stood up and stare at the picture hanging on the wall. I feel my hands tracing his face on the picture. This is all too much I just don't know what to feel anymore. The door opened and Finn's head popped out. He was smiling at me but I didn't know what to do but just stand there unfazed.

I stand there just looking at him. My minds lost in those eyes. I've been talking to him all this long and I didn't realise he was my ex-husband. Imagine that you've forgotten everything from the past then you met the man you once shared an intimacy with but you don't know it's him yet. Then he suddenly blurts out his true identity to you and you suddenly fainted and end up at your old house where you both used to share memories together

"There's some clothes for you in those"

"Closets. I left some clothes there and they're still inside there" I said finishing his sentence. I didn't dare look at him so I decided to look around the place pretending to be fascinated by the surrounding of the room "thanks I'm gonna go take a shower now"

He left the room without saying anything. I exhaled a breath of relief that I didn't even know I was holding on. I forgot how much of an impact he could put me through.

I opened the closet to see some of my clothes are still in order. I grabbed a white long sleeved shirt with an image of a cat and a pair of blue shorts. I went into the bathroom and see the same bathroom.

After showering,looking around and opening some drawers I decided to finally go down and face Finn. I decided to end this once and for all. I need to have a talk with him even if it's killing me on the inside.

Walking down the stairs each step causing my heart to beat faster. I'm trying to contemplate on what I should say to him or what he's gonna say.

I see him standing there talking through the phone "Yeah she's awake. You can come pick her up now" as soon as he hung up,he sat on the couch with his head bowed and his eyes closed like his tired. My hand itch to go over and help ease his pain by giving him a massage on the back like I used to whenever he's stressed or tired.

I guess when I got my memory back I also got my feelings(that I didn't know still existed)for the man that broke my heart. He may have broken my heart but it still didn't stop me from loving him. The reason why I left him was because of the pain. But now when I look at him I see that he's also in pain. I was so caught up in my own pain and misery that I didn't know that it would give an impact onto him as well.

People might say he deserved it but I wouldn't think like that because I gave up on him just like that. If I truly cherished what we had I would've maybe dealt with it. But then I'm still a girl with feelings. I feel so tired fighting with myself so I decided to catch his attention. I cleared my throat which alerted him and he quickly stood up.

"Hey, I see you wore your favourite" I looked at the clothing that I chose and he was right. I remembered that I always wore this whenever I went out and Finn just laughed at it whenever I said I loved wearing this.

"I see nothing has change ever since I left" I kept a straight face not giving away any hint of emotion.

"Yeah" he scratched the back of his head which is a sign of uneasiness

I walked over to sit at the couch but not too close with him so we won't have any physical contact.

"I remembered everything" I blurted while looking at the floor

"I'm sorry" he sighed

"Sorry won't change the past Finn. What has happened has already happened. We both regretted the past but regretting won't make it better. All we can do now is just live on with our life"

"Your right" I could see that he turn to look at me through my peripheral vision "it won't change the fact that I lost you to someone. But his not just someone Jen. He's dangerous"

"What do you mean?" I finally stare at his eyes "how can you say he's dangerous? He seems to treat me better than you did"

"I know what I've done was horrible to you but I'm warning you Jen. He's nothing but trouble. Once you see the true side of him you'll realize it"

"How do you know his dangerous? Have you met him before?" I asked my eyebrows crooked

"No but I have been investigating on him"

"You what?!? Why would you do that?" I was beyond shock and confused

"I wanted you to be happy. The moment you told me you were with Justin I wanted to know if he could give you the happiness you deserve"

"Who are you to say I deserve happiness when you broke my heart first. Why should I trust you when you broke my heart once?"

"I know" he looked down I could see he was ashamed "that's why I wanted to give you the happiness you deserve. Because I don't want to see you go through the same pain again. I may not be the person that could grant you happiness but please listen to me when I say Justin is trouble"

"Look it's very sweet of you to care about me. But I'm grown enough to know who will heal me or break my heart" Then I hear a horn "I guess that must be Abigail" Finn looked at me and gave me a small smile "bye Finn" I didn't wait for him to say anything I turn around to walk to the door.

Just as I was about to reach the door handle Finn called my name and I turn to look at him "I will always be here for you Jenna and I hope we can still be friends"

"Thanks Finn and of course we'll still be friends" I replied then walked out the door.

The moment when I walked out the door I felt like something inside of me was lifted up. Like the thing that's been inside my heart has finally disappeared. I couldn't help but smile at the sky.
