《Stranded》Chapter 30: Facing reality

Becca's P.O.V
"Stacy, He doesn't remember anything. He doesn't remember me." I sobbed, pressing the phone tightly against my ear.
"It's going to be fine. I am sure that he was just dazed or something." she lies, trying to heal my broken heart. I hear Stacy squeal and say.
"Audrey, give it back." I sighed.
"Hey, I heard what happened. Look I know it hard, but this is one fucked up world. Either you choose to be fucked up with it or you can give a shit about it." sympathises Audrey. Deep down, I knew she was right.
"Thanks, Audrey. I gotta go." I said as I hung up. I walk to the the bathroom and rinsed my face. I return to my room, feeling more calm and refreshed. The right thing to do was face Noah and move on if he doesn't remember.
However the easier and the painless way was to just ignore him and mourn in private.
Audrey was right, Noah would do the same if I was in that position. He'd probably stay by my side in any situation. That's the kind of guy he was. He was a big gesture person and I was just being a needy, selfish self pitying chicken who happened to catch Noah's eye. I wasn't that girl anymore. I was the girl who survived on a island for almost 3 weeks.
I sighed. I pick up my jacket and bag. I head downstairs. Mom looks at me with concern.
"Mom, I am going to go see Noah." I said, as I grabbed an apple from the kitchen bowl.
"Okay, honey. Be home by 6." she calls as I walk out the door, before I can change my mind.
I thought about what I was going to say to him. What should I say? I am your girlfriend, but you don't remember. You loved me, but now you don't remember. If my life was a freaking movie, Noah would be like, "I know you miss the guy who was your boyfriend, I can try to be that guy again." And we'll kiss or something. The only problem here, was MY LIFE WASN'T A MOVIE.

In reality, most likely he will just think I was a desperate, wannabe stalker girl. He'll move on and have kids of his own. Talk about funny stories about a girl lying to him about being his girlfriend and how girls those days were so desperate. I push away the nagging thoughts and take a deep breath.
I push open the hospital doors. I walk over to the hospital counter, again. "Hi- I started to say. I am crushed by a huge bear hug.
"Oh, honey, I thought that you weren't coming back." says Noah's mom. I sighed.
"I need to talk to Noah." I said, as we headed towards room 354.
Noah sits up, immediately as we enter. "Hey, mom." he says, grinning at his mom.
"Noah?" I ask.
"Yeah?" he answers, probably wondering who I was.
"Um. We need to talk." I said, sighing.

"Sit. Stand. Don't. Enough. Leave. Come." Are the only words in the dictionary of Rogue Slade, the billionaire with the power to strip you of your will. He was smoldering, hypnotic, and alluring. But he was also unpredictable. Voted in high school as most likely to turn into a psychopath or an ax murderer. Beth Wallace had only seen him on the television or on the front pages of a magazine, but it was enough that she hoped to never cross path with someone who irked her. Until her friend, Hanna turned up missing, and Rogue Slade barged into her life like a bulldozer, threatening her peace. Hanna was the sister to Rogue's friend, and the last thing her brother heard from her was that she was meeting with someone named Beth. Beth swore she didn't know anything about Hanna's disappearance, but Rogue was hellbent on making her talk, even if it meant kidnapping her to his home, where he will exercise his power and dominance to find out the truth.

I closed my eyes tightly until I heard laughing. No, I could feel the laughing. My eyes sprang open to find Miles on top of me. I was laying flat on my back in the dirt with my glove with the ball inside pressed against his chest. Miles was not at all fat, but he was 6'2 compared to my barely 5'3.I could feel his chest rumbling and shaking with laughter as I lay humiliated on the ground."I didn't know you liked being on the bottom," Miles said loudly.The whole field cracked up with that. I struggled under him and shoved him off of me. All of the guys were howling with laughter as I got up and swiped all the dirt off me. "Pervert," I muttered, before tossing the ball out of my glove to hit him in the thigh. I stalked across the field without another word. The whole team was in hysterics as I shoved all my things in my bag and practically ran off to get away....Gloria is like any other 17 year old girl getting ready for summer break, but this summer is going to be completely different. Gloria has been playing baseball since she could remember and has been invited to a national baseball camp. Being a girl in the world of a male-dominated sport, she couldn't even count how many times people have told her she needed to find something else to do. Her dad kept her playing though, even after he died a few years ago, that didn't stop Gloria from doing what she loved. The only problem is she is the only girl at the camp for three months. Enter the problem of suddenly having to share a room, more specifically, sharing with Miles Harris. Gloria must deal with Miles, a big shot and arrogant jerk, and all the other horny, testosterone driven baseball players, who just might push Gloria off the edge of sanity.Trigger warning: mention and vague description of SA
