《The Academy 3》32

Advertisement

It was gloomy inside my house. We all sat quietly in the living room, not knowing what to say. Everyone was replaying the memory of Nicola's amnesia towards me. Gemma hugged me and placed her head on my shoulder. I was still in shock and couldn't move. I couldn't cry anymore since I'm sure I used up all the water wells in my eyes. I caught a glimpse in the mirror to see my bloodshot eyes.

Zara looked around at all of us. She then leaned back on the couch and began rubbing her chin. Her face was morphed into a pensive look. I wonder what she's thinking about.

"I'd say Ali's theme song is Steal My Girl by One Direction." She then began singing the chorus. "Everybody wanna to steal my girl, or Nicola in this case, everybody wanna to take her heart away." She paused and thought for a moment. "And then Skye's theme song is Jessie's Girl. I wish I could have Jessie's girl or Ali's girl... but then she got Nicola so..." I gave Zara a harsh glare.

"How are you so effortlessly annoying?" I said through gritted teeth.

"It's one of my many talents." She snarked back.

"That's like me!" Tamsin inserted herself. "I'm a Jack of all trades-"

"Master of none." Zara quipped, resulting in Tamsin glaring at her.

"Okay, girls." My father interrupted the impending argument. "Why'd I get stuck with all girls?" He mumbled.

"That's okay, daddy!" Gem jumped up. "You got me!" She beamed.

"Thank you for being nothing like your sisters." He kissed her head while the rest of us rolled our eyes.

"Still can't believe Skye leaked the information to the tabloids." Tamsin reread the email our private investigator sent.

"Well, it's not like she never threatened to publicly out me." I shrugged. "I just don't know what to do." I groaned.

"I suggest you spend time with Nicola and remind her why she fell in love with you." Everyone stopped to look at my mom. "She fell in love with you for a reason, so-"

"Impossible with Skye. She wouldn't allow me near Nic with a 10 foot pole." I huffed.

"She can't be around her all the time-"

"She's literally forcing Nic to live with her. I wouldn't be surprised if she bars Nic from going to school." I mumbled.

"The Nic I know will push to go to school. Actually, we can contact her friends so that they can pressure her into coming back." Tamsin pulled out her phone. "They'll tell her how much they miss her and can't wait to see her again." Tamsin shrugged. "I'm a genius."

"A genius of idiocity." Zara remarked. "What makes you so sure that Skye would even allow her to go back? She's incredibly demanding and dominant."

"If Skye refuses then I'll demand Nic go back to school. I'm a boss ass bitch." She confidently stated.

"Well, maybe for the bitch part, but you're really stretching it with the boss part." Zara commented.

"I'm an angel sent straight from God!" Tamsin was getting riled up.

"Who's gonna break the news to her that Lucifer actually sent her here?" Zara turned to me.

"Girls!" My father firmly reprimanded. "This is not the time." He eyed them both.

"I need to be alone." I ignored my family and rolled myself to the elevator.

I was starting to hate this wheelchair, but I didn't have much choice. I'd have much rather crutches, but my stupid broken arm was hampering that. The doors opened and I went inside. The entire trip to my room, I thought about Nic.

I fought so hard for her. I got her back, only to lose her again. I can never truly win, can I? I closed my door and went onto my bed. Why can I never truly be happy? Every time I'm happy, something happens and I lose my sunshine! Am I just cursed to be miserable forever? It's not fair that my sisters are in happy relationships, yet I'm destined to fail at love!

I cried as I laid on the pillow Nic had used. It still smelt faintly like her. I clutched the pillow to my chest and cried my eyes out. I just wanted her here by my side. I'd do anything to get her back. Anything!

I then thought about my failed attempt at protecting her. I covered her with my body so that she wouldn't sustain any injuries. I failed her. She had a serious brain injury that almost killed her. I put her through that traumatic experience because of my selfishness.

It was all my fault! If she wasn't with me, then she'd have never gotten her information leaked. Paps wouldn't be hounding her! She'd have never gotten into a car crash and ended up in the hospital! She'd have never lost something as precious as her memory!

Skye was right, which made me cry even harder. She'd be able to treat her better than I ever could. She could protect her and make sure she never felt pain again. I'm a terrible girlfriend. I didn't deserve her. I was only adding pain and chaos into her beautiful life.

Should I give her up? I know Skye could provide her the life she truly deserves. But, the selfish part of me wants her back. She makes me happy and feel whole again.

I'm at a crossroad since I don't know what to do.
