《The Prince's Stubborn Mate》Chapter 36- Complete recollection
Advertisement
The Monday after the game was filled with celebration at school.
From the moment I drove into the parking lot and heard the noise coming from inside and noticed that the parking lot was empty except for me an the few people who just came, I knew I would have no class for the day.
Demetri had woken me a little after five am so that he could drive me home.
He's going out of town with Jackson, Damien and their father to a werewolf convention and they wouldn't be back for a few days so he took me back to my parents House where I caught up on some sleep then got ready for school.
Walking through the vacant hallway towards the back of the school where the football field was, the noise grew louder.
The sound of people screaming as well as music came from the field.
As I burst through the doors towards the field the cheerleaders were performing while the crowd cheered them on.
I shoved my way through the crowd and onto the sidelines of the field where the boys were all seated or standing around.
"Hey." I said standing beside Rick and crossing my arms over my chest.
"Hey luv," he said hugging me.
"What's going on?" I questioned half hearted.
"We're celebrating your win." He said keeping his arm around my shoulder while looking down at me with a smile.
"I wasn't the only one on the field so its our win." I commented
Rick frowned, "Are you alright?" He inquired and I hummed in response.
"What's wrong?"
"I just feel like something bad is going to happen today." I told him shivering slightly as a cool breeze blew past me.
"Something like what?"
"I don't know, I'm not psychic." I grumbled rolling my eyes.
"Aren't you?" He joked and I elbowed him playfully.
"I'm probably worried over nothing." I said shrugging.
"Probably." He agreed smiling at me, his cute dimple on display, "Nothing bad happens while I'm here."
"You're already enough bad luck."
"That's cold." He said and I laughed as I watched Kaitlyn and Collin make their way over to us.
"Hey guys." I said wrapping them in a hug.
"Hello famous." Collin said and I slapped his Ass making him squeal.
"Hello sexy." I said flashing him a smile when we pulled apart. We stood side by side until the cheer team finished performing and the football team was called to the field where we received congratulations while the principal announced that we have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Football competitions.
This year, the winning team of the competition receive four scholarships to ivy colleges Three in the US and One to England.
I obviously wanted the one to go to England. It would be nice to have a change of scenery for once in my life.
After the announcements, the DJ, which was a member of the music club dropped some very nice songs and the majority of the students rushed onto the field to dance and gyrate on one another.
I ended up dancing with Monique, Freya Kaitlyn, Rick and Collin. After a while, I became tired so I stopped dancing and made my way to the girls room.
Stepping into the Air Conditioned building of the school, i was immediately assaulted by the cool air causing the thin layer of sweat sticking to my skin to dry rapidly. I hastily walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

As soon as I turned on the pipe a sharp pain struck me in my head causing me to grab my head pressing the heel of my hands to my temples in an attempt to relieve the pain as I squeezed my eyes shut tightly.
Sharp images flitted through my mind in poor quality. They were blurry and colored in negative hues of blues and greens.
I knew they were some of my forgotten memories but they wouldn't come to me in full clarity and because of that the pain in my head is like nothing I've ever felt before.
The images continued to fly through my brain at a disturbing pace causing me an excruciating amount of pain.
When I couldn't manage the pain anymore, I sunk to my knees and started crying.
Warm salty tears flowed from my eyes and down my cheeks.
Not sure how long I knelt there on the bathroom floor, but I felt like an eternity had passed when the door opened and Kaitlyn walked in with another girl.
I don't know the girl but she must be one of Kaitlyn's friends.
As soon as they glimpsed me on the ground, Kaitlyn ran towards me grabbing my shoulders.
"Oh My God, Jessabell!" She screeched, the worry evident in her voice.
My eyes were still closed so I couldn't see the worry that was painted on her face.
"What happened to you?" She inquired pulling me into her body.
"My head." I mumbled softly, the pain was subsiding slightly.
"You hit your head?" She asked rubbing the top of my head in a gentle, soothing manner.
"No." I said rising from my he ground with her help. "It just started hurting."
"I'll take you to the nurse." She offered but I shook my head, giving her a short no before I proceeded to was my face before drying it with a piece of paper towel.
"I'm okay now." I said to her grabbing her arm and pulling her towards the door.
Her red headed friend followed behind us silently. I felt a little rude for not acknowledging her presence and so i turned around and smiled at her,
"I'm Jessabell." I said.
"Lana." She responded monotonously looking at me with faint disinterest and a little bit of disdain flickered through her eyes.
Okay then, I thought, turning around and making my way out the bathroom door.
When we got back to the football field, I noticed that most of the students were still dancing on the field.
I still wasn't feeling very bright and sunshiney so I sat down at a section of the bleachers and pulled my knees up to my chest then rested my chin on my arms that were crossed over my knees.
There's still a faint throbbing in my skull but not hard enough to cause me to double over in pain.
"Are you okay Jessy?" Freya asked coming to sit beside me.
"Yeah, just a small headache." I told her with a small smile. "I might just go home in a few "
"Would you like me to come with you?"
"Nah, I'll be fine." I said hugging her before picking up my bag and making my way to the parking lot.
As soon as I stepped into the car, the pain in my head increased a little more.
I ignored the pain, started the car and drove. However, as I made my way along the the road, I wasn't so sure that leaving school in this condition as my sighed blurred in and out for a while, the sunlight making the throbbing pain in my head escalate.

I continued to ignore it as I tried to hurry home, considering the fact that my vision was getting worse.
I'm not just seeing blurry and foggy objects anymore but I'm looking at the world through negative hues once again, the disturbing features of blues and greens were veiled by fog making it unsafe for me to drive.
But my stubbornness got the better of me and I continued to drive through the pain, partial blindness and the discomfort which was now erupting throughout my body.
My head is not the only place on my body that's in pain. My back had started hurting mainly from the base of my spine.
The pain crept slowly up my spinal column.
The pain Easing up slightly enough so that I was able to make it home, out of the car and into the foyer of my house before I collapsed at the door after closing it behind me.
My entire body completely paralyzed by pain. I couldn't move any of my limbs voluntarily.
Even breathing hurt but I couldn't seem to get my brain to function enough to slow down my breathing as I was panting in panic.
Another Excruciating round of pain slammed into my head blackening my vision before thrusting me back into the world of green and blue.
As the mirage of colors faded, I felt myself become lighter, the world seemed brighter more vivid and focused as if I'm looking at everything through the lens of a very sophisticated camera.
Looking up, I saw both my parents bent over me, their eyes clouded with worry.
My mother had tears streaming down her flushed face as she gently patted my cheeks telling me to wake up.
I am awake, I attempted to speak only to find that I had no voice.
What the hell is going on? I thought pulling myself up into a sitting position.
Getting up doesn't feel Normal, I feel like I floated up rather than pulled my body up.
When I stood up from the floor, and turned to look at my parents, I saw not only them but myself, laying on the floor looking pale.
Eyes closed and light pink lips slightly parted. My chest was moving slightly, enough to show that I'm not dead but slightly enough to cause anyone looking at my figure on the floor to worry.
I looked very dead.
I didn't stay to find out what my parents would do with my body because I could hear my name being called from upstairs.
The soft gentle voice was alluring and it was impossible to ignore the pull and I practically floated my way up the stairs and into my room.
What was shocking was the image of Demetri and I in the room as Monique literally stepped through my body and exited the room.
Demetri was speaking to me before he pulled me up and into the bathroom.
Unable to stop my self from following I floated towards the bathroom door where I stopped when I saw myself puking all over Demetri's shoes and the bathroom floor.
The image was fragmented as in it had been fast forwarded.
The sounds were passing through my brain too fast for me to actually understand and accept them as being apart of my memories.
The voice began calling me again and I left Demetri and myself in the bathroom and followed the voice which led me to the library.
I entered the library just in time to see Demetri and Myself walk in then arrange ourselves on the couch.
We had a conversation before the voice called me to another part of the house which so happened to be the stair case where Demetri seemed to be attacking me.
That was the most traumatic image to grace my mind since the recollection of my scattered memories began months ago.
I followed Demetri into my room and watched in horror as he began to spank me.
Unable to watch the horrid scene unfold before me, I turned my back on the image and made my way downstairs.
The front door was open and I spotted my body being placed on a gurney as my mother cried while my father rubbed her back in comfort with a worried look in his eyes.
Why would he be worried, he's never cared about me before.
I started over to the gurney, eager to get back into my body but froze when I saw, from the corner of my eye, a figure turn the corner behind me.
Upon turning, I saw myself walk down the hall.
Curious, I followed myself and watched as I pushed open the door and entered the medical room in my house.
I searched for something, then finally pulled out a little bottle of morphine.
I didn't need to watch anymore because I already knew what would happen.
I had already seen this memory, I relived it last night.
I wanted to leave but I couldn't, my feet wouldn't move and my spectral form was stuck watching myself attempt to commit suicide.
Demetri and my parents finally arrived and i watched as the life slowly drained from my body.
I could see death approaching as I looked at my rapidly Paling face my lips that were turning a faint purple color and even my hair which started to lose its shine.
My bright red hair dimming just like the light in my Eyes, which were fading rapidly.
However, before I could watch myself die, my mouth opened and a dark shadowy arm reached out and pulled my spectral form into the body that was laying on the ground in an almost lifeless pallor.
I expected to see darkness, but instead, I fell through blinding light into a collage of my memories.
The canvas of life that I had torn apart when lost in the purgatory between life and death was rapidly reconstructing itself.
Replacing the memories if Demetri that I have forgotten, taking me through the short journey of the time since we met up until now.
The memories forcing themselves into my brain with a searing pain meant to ensure my continued remembrance of Demetri and I regardless of how disturbing the memories are.
Everything fell into place as I remembered all that had transpired since our first meeting at the mating ball.
Demetri's reluctance to tell me anything about us.
His worry and that look of horror which always painted itself on his face whenever I remembered something.
His poor relationship with my mother.
And most of all the strange necklace in my closet finally made sense to me now.
Demetri didn't want me to remember how much he had hurt me within the month that we had known each other.
He did not want me to remember my feelings of hatred for him or my reluctance to be with him.
I was stuck in shock as the memories finished filing themselves into my brain leaving me with a headache.
When the replacement if my memories were finished, I was dropped into a vortex of nothingness that reminded me of when I was dying
I opened my eyes to see the white sterile interior of a hospital room.
The beeping coming from the machine beside me alerted me to the fact that I was attached to a heart monitor.
Not to mention the drip that was bleeding a clear fluid unto my veins.
Now that I have my memories back, it is safe to say that I have been in the hospital WAY too many times in the past month.
I sat up, not feeling any pain or discomfort at any part of my body.
A far cry from what I was feeling before I collapsed at home.
I carefully detached the IV from my arm and pulled off the heart monitor thingy from my finger and my chest, and sighed as I heard the machine make a beeping sound as it flat lined.
The door to the hospital room burst open immediately to admit a doctor, a nurse, my parents, Demetri and both of Demetri's parents.
My mother was the first on to reach me wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug.
"Oh Jessabell, I was so worried." She sobbed into my neck as I rubbed her back and tried to comfort her.
"I'm okay mom." I told her kissing her tear drenched cheeks. "I just fainted."
"Your heart stopped." She wailed. And I frowned in confusion.
How's that possible?
"You were dead for about five minutes." She Sobbed pulling me tighter against her body in an awkward hug. "You were out for three days."
Wow, three days? Oh well. No school for me.
"Are you feeling alright?" She asked frantically looking me over for injuries.
"I feel fine, perfectly fine." I told her kissing her cheek again. "I'm sorry."
"Jessabell." Demetri said walking over to us.
My mother backed up a bit giving him some space.
He held his arms out to me, looking like he was about to hug me.
I pulled my arm back and punched him right in the face. I think my hit was concentrated mostly in the left eye so he has a black eye to look forward to.
Not that I care.
His head snapped back before he reeled up to look at me in shock and a faint trace of anger was evident in his eyes that were smeared with small tinges of purple.
He opened his mouth to say something but i cut him off before he could begin.
"You lying, cheating Bastard." I growled glaring at him.
He looked confused for a moment before realization slammed into him and he looked at me in horror, a small gasp escaped his lips.
"No." He whispered staring at me as he realized that I remember everything that he tried to hide from me.
