My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mateย ย ย Chapter 62 : Our Pictures
Ashley POVClasses went by quickly that day, probably because of the sudden, harsh cold. The last class was canceled, so I was able to leave almost an hour earlier than I expected. However, to my surprise, I didn't find Jayden practicing dance with a sloppy style or delving deeper into his past life as an idol.Instead, I found him sitting cross-legged on the newly cleaned wooden floor of my parents' living room, right under the smart TV hanging on the wall. All around him were scattered cutouts of news articles, pictures, and thick photo albums almost equivalent to the size of his calves, poking out of rolled-up sweatpants. In front of him, just an arm's length away, was a large white box, filled with more photos and documents.I leaned against the doorway that connected the living room to the hallway, watching Jayden who was still engrossed in hunching over an old photo album that was open on his lap. "Snooping around, are we?" I teased.Jayden smiled slightly, still looking at the

Ashley POVI sucked in a deep breath, trying to find the right words to respond, but before I could open my mouth, he cut me off again.โThey will be here soon,โ he said quickly, his tone of voice firmer now. โWe should probably order some food soon, and I should get dressed.โโFine,โ I said quietly, following his cue to change the subject. It was clear he didn't want to talk about this further, and even though I wanted to know more about what he was really feeling, I knew that this wasn't the right time. The rest of the Boyz Hits Bullets would be arriving in less than an hour, and I could feel the terrible pressure building up on my shoulders. They were the key to helping Jayden recover his memory or at least help him return to his dream as a famous singer. I knew I had to stay calm, but the closer the time got, the more nervous I felt like I was taking a college entrance exam.Though the other BHB members were usually nice people, or at least most of them weren't bad, I had no idea

Ashley POVEva Williams. She's been my best friend since I was eleven and she was twelve. The girl who practically forced her friendship on a lonely, loud-mouthed rich girl, which was me until I finally gave in and accepted the friendship. I never expected to have a best friend like her, who with all her flaws became a comfort to me in the midst of my loneliness. She tormented me with her excessive admiration for a boy band, Boyz Hits Bullets, which frankly never caught my attention. On the other hand, she was the only person who had never fought with me, though she wasn't afraid to challenge or express her own opinions either. That made me respect her, more than anyone else.Eva was a petite girl who had lost her father due to cancer, leaving her with younger siblings who didn't even remember their father and a mother who struggled with financial matters. Somehow, though, Eva always managed to keep smiling. She was my senior, but she refused to be called โsenior.โ She could cry tears

Ashley POVAs they passed him by, Jayden was not looking at the six of them, but I could see his jaw clenching and his fingers wringing over the handle of the bag. Worry clouded my heart as I stepped out of the doorway and into the elevator lobby to let the six guys through. In my head, I sent out a short prayer to whoever might hear it, hoping that if this night didn't bring any luck, at least it wouldn't turn out badly or painfully.Please, good fortune.โWhere to?โHunter stopped right in front of me, making the other BHB boy band members stop as well, and his eyes were level with mine. He smiled reassuringly, and despite sounding carefree, I could hear the worry in his tone.โJust follow that hallway,โ I hastily told him while gesturing over my shoulder. "The kitchen is on the right, there's water, both sparkling and flavored in the second fridge. You can take whatever you want. There's a dining room opposite, to the north, where we can sit, and two bathrooms at the end of the hal

Ashley POVWe waited quietly for a minute. Then, through the heavy double glass doors, I spotted two cars driving towards the building, both of which caught my eye. There was Mavis behind the wheel of the first car, and the familiar pizzeria logo on the car behind her. Eva's cell phone vibrated, but she ignored it. I followed her out of the building, nodding at the guards we passed, and, while glad the time was right to get some food, I wished I'd brought a jacket.I waved goodbye to Mavis, who waved me back, then motioned for Eva to get into the car. However, before Eva and I parted ways, she gave me a quick hug, her smile widening as I turned her down. โSee you next week,โ she whispered in my ear. โAnd,โ she quickly added, โI think you and Jayden bought pizza to share tonight.โI carefully pulled away from her arms and smiled sheepishly. โI see. Or we, rather. And I'll tell you everything soon. I swear.โโI know you will, and I look forward to it.โ She smiled. โHave fun with seven f

Ashley POVAs I had guessed, Jax and Jean were standing in the kitchen along with Jamie and Hunter, waiting for me and Jayden to come in. As Jayden placed the bag of snacks on the kitchen counter, next to where I had placed the pizza boxes earlier, he kept looking down while I showed them where they could find plates, cutlery, and glasses. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the double doors to the dining room slightly ajar, which were rarely touched even when my parents were home, and Tyler and Miles slipping out between them as Jean called them to grab the pizza.I had to find a way to talk to Miles, just the two of us, as quickly and quietly as possible.Despite the friendly atmosphere, it was clear that the other six BHB boys felt awkward in my parents' apartment. Whether that nervousness was due to the fact that we were in Beverly or just because they were in an unfamiliar place, I have no idea. But as the eight of us sat around the long glass table that fit eleven people in the c

Ashley POVThe boys went back to their seats in silence. However, the mood was now lighter, and as the eight of us continued eating, small talk began to flow through the room. The boys joked, laughed, and enthusiastically retold stories of their past with Jayden. Jayden, despite still not being able to remember anything, seemed more cheerful than usual. I was relieved and surprised to see him no longer looking glum when reminded of his amnesia. Hunter and Jamie, especially, did their job very well to keep the conversation flowing and light, so there were no awkward silences or tense moments.When everyone had finished their bites, I decided to play some music in the background as the others took a break and snapped a few photos as a memento. Jayden, unexpectedly, offered to take some photos for me. Smiling slightly, I leaned back on my knees, looking through the albums that were neatly arranged on the CD storage racks located on each side of the floor-standing speakers.The night was

Ashley POVTyler glanced at his phone screen. โIt's only a little past eight. I've wanted to watch 'Insidious' since it first hit theaters,โ he pleaded, almost begging. โCan't we stay?โโI don't know,โ Jax said, glancing at his phone. โWe have an early morning rehearsal tomorrow.โโIsn't that a horror movie?โ asked Hunter warily.I nodded and held my hand up in front of my mouth as I swallowed the last slice of pizza. โI mean, it does have its funny bits, but basically, it's good horror.โโThen I back out,โ Hunter said.โMe too,โ Jamie added quickly.โI've never seen it, right?โ Jayden's voice sounded low, and I turned to look at him. His eyes sought confirmation from me, and I shook my head. โNo, I don't think you've seen it.โJayden looked down, staring at his plate. โI want to see it,โ he said, still in a quiet tone.Both Jamie and Hunter jumped in and sucked in a deep breath before starting to plead with Jax not to let them watch the horror movie.

Ashley POVTo tell the truth, I regretted my decision as soon as I got out of the car. But his piercing, dark eyes caught mine from the second floor before I could find the nerve or perhaps, the sanity to run. So, despite feeling as if every step was through a bed of quicksand, every breath felt as if it were swallowing oil, and my heart was racing as if I was galloping as if my life was at stake, I had no other choice but to go inside that damn building.โSerenityโ is a cafรฉ and bakery concept with a large selection of vegan menu items that directly blend into the non-vegan menu. How someone would make cheesecake without cheese baffled me enough to make me order it from the front desk along with a large iced latte. I made my way around the round tables scattered throughout the rustic bistro, excusing myself when it became too crowded amongst the patrons.Miles sat down, alone, next to one of the windows on the second floor that was rarely visited by people. He looked rather casual an

Ashley POVโAsh?โ There were a few knocks on the door, followed by Eva's voice. โMy mom is here right now. I have to go now, but I will call you later!โโYeah, bye!โ I croaked absentmindedly. I couldn't take my eyes off the phone screen.โYou'd better get going... I saw Jared come out of his dressing room half a minute ago. He's probably smoking outside.โMy mouth moved spontaneously. โOkay, thanks for telling me.โโAsh...โ She hesitated, and then I could hear a small thud on the door as it slid half a centimeter into view. The next line sounded behind the painted wooden surface. โYou're totally gorgeous today. I mean, you're always lovely in my opinion, but, well... I just wanted to say it one more time before I go.โHer compliment felt warm, but I was still too frozen in shock to smile. โYou will be late for practice,โ I said further in a teasing tone.She didn't answer right away, as if I could hear her thoughts from behind the door. Letting out a long breath, I said calmly, โWhat'

Ashley POVJared reached out and shook Samuelโs hand without even blinking. That surprised me, considering Samuelโs old injury, but Jaredโs grip was firm and smooth.โJared Keller,โ he said with a hint of a smile. โAnd Iโm sure the best wedding photographer in the city is more than capable of taking a few photos of me and my fiancรฉe.โHis voice, usually cold and even, actually sounded warm this timeโ nothing like the sharp tone he usually used with me. But that didnโt bother me. Not one bit.Because I knew Jared. I knew that when he wanted to, he could charm anyoneโ regardless of gender. That cool, intimidating aura of his didnโt stop him from flipping a switch and turning into the smoothest guy in the room.And honestly? The fact he was using that tone with someone other than me or Eva? It was kind of a relief.When Jared talked like that, people couldnโt help but feel confident, maybe even proudโ like they mattered. Like Jared saw something special in them, even if they barely knew

Ashley POVโAnd... smile!โThe umbrella lights flashed across the room, making my vision blur for a second. I blinked quickly, waiting for the black dots to fade as my eyes adjusted to the pastel walls, the endless fake white and blush roses surrounding me, and the bulky guy standing behind the camera set up in front of me.Raising his hand, he gave the universal โokayโ gesture. โBeautiful, beautiful,โ he said excitedly. โNow, if you could just tilt your head a little to the side and angle your chin to the right...โWithout a word, I followed his instructions, rewarded with a delighted squeal and another blinding flash. โYes, thatโs it! And maybe move your hand like this...โ he said, demonstrating with his left hand. I copied him. โYesss! Perfect! I gotta say,โ he went on with a big grin, โyou are the most stunning bride Iโve ever seen, Ashley Van Smith. Your fiancรฉ is one lucky guy.โThe camera clicked and the lights flashed again.โThanks, Sam,โ I said once my vision started coming

Jayden POVโJay, are you okay?โโHow many times do I have to answer that?โ I didn't look up from my phone screen even though I'd probably read the same news article about criminals a thousand times. Somehow, the drive to the restaurant felt like an eternity, or, at least, that's how I felt when I was stuck in the car with nothing to hear but silly questions.I was fine, though.โHow many times does it take you to spill the fucking truth,โ Hunter asked, his voice coming from dangerously close behind me.I lifted my phone over my shoulder so he could see what I was doing, then snorted. I took the only open passenger seat in the front on the pretense that I was feeling sick because I was so damn starving, but now here I was suddenly wondering if it would be better to sit in the very back seat.But there was Miles already seated, and I didn't like the way he was looking at me as I turned towards him.โJayden...โ Jamie's tone was low, worried.โGet off of my back,โ I snapped. โI'm fine, ok

Jayden POVโNo,โ I stated simply. โSheโฆ Everyone thinks we're just family friends.โโWell,โ she went on, the glint in her eyes turning cold. Extremely cold, like merciless stones of ice. โAs of today, that won't be a lie anymore.โMy brows furrowed, I couldn't help but let the fear caused by my anxiety creep up my voice. โWhat do you mean?โ I asked in a tone that hopefully sounded calm.She pulled the engagement ring off her finger and held it out to me. โI'm calling off our engagement,โ she said harshly. โI won't - won't marry a cheating bastard like you. You can live happily ever after with someone else, like Blair Anderson.โ A mocking sneer spread across her face. โSmile, Jayden - you're finally getting rid of me, may you live happily ever after with your dear girlfriend.โ What she said after that sucked the life out of me as if part of my soul had been taken away. โOh, and before I forget, I, Ashley Van Smith, of the Red Moon Pack, reject Jayden Ronan Keller, of the Crimson Pack,

Jayden POVโWhat are you doing here, Ashley?โIt wasn't my intention to lash out at her, but I was too shocked to find other words, so my tongue moved faster than my brain. She looked flabbergasted at my words, her face turning redder than a ripe tomato as she caught sight of me and my group of friends. Her lips parted and sealed, then parted again, but this time to my astonishment. She was stunned. Angry, too.And hurting more than I'd ever seen her before.โJayden,โ Tyler said hesitantly, breaking the silence down the hallway that had suddenly become eerily quiet. โIsn't she a friend of your family?โโIs it really her?โ asked Jax, glancing curiously between me and Ashley while scratching his face.Later on, Jamie stepped in front of me as soon as I snarled at Ashley with both shoulders raised but immediately loosened up at Tyler's words. โOh yeah, I've seen your face before, on the news.โHunter snapped his fingers. โThat's right!โ he said as he realized something. โWhenever you two

Jayden POV23.02 - Fine, I'll go get your stuff. See you in five minutes?23.02 - Perfect! Hey, baby, you're not mad at me, right?Rolling my eyes, I replied with the word โNoโ. To be frank, I'm not mad at her. I'm just tired of her. Blair was prettier than most, very talented, and kind despite being more of a loner than Jean and overall she was a very nice girl. She is the kind of girl that guys dream about, because of her sweet and lovable nature, her graceful and slender figure. In fact, she was exactly what I wanted when I first laid eyes on her. I used to think I could finally fall in love, and it would be with her because she's almost perfect in every way. I mean, how could a guy not like a woman like Blair?At first, it was fun and exciting. I had never had someone... someone who I knew was definitely interested in me and talked to me for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. She made me break down my walls, to the point where I felt I could trust her. I thought I could

Jayden POVโFlashback a few hours before the accident after the concert in NY in FebruaryโโGood job, everyone! That's a wrap for our concert in NY!โClark escorted the seven of us from backstage to one of the leather couches in the dressing room before darting off somewhere. Some of the other coordinators and managers who had been with us for a few months to a few years came next, all with smiles on their faces. I poured the last contents of my water bottle over my head to cool down as I sat next to Jax. The liquid dripped down my face, neck, and back, soaking the black T-shirt I wore at the end of the concert, and though it felt relatively warm, I was still able to breathe a sigh of relief.โThere's a place called the bathroom.โ Tyler leaned over to my right and tugged gently on my sleeve. โMan, you're soaked.โโYou too,โ I retorted as I stared intently at his hair stuck to his forehead.โI'm starving,โ whimpered Jean as he fanned himself frantically with someone's magazine.
