Semua Bab Some People Are Meant to Be Forgotten: Bab 1 - Bab 10

When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed.A circle of curtains surrounded me, and a familiar figure's shadow was cast on them.It was Caleb."Yeah, she's fine. Just passed out. That guy who called me totally overreacted. No need, I'll go now. That's a limited-edition race car, and that would be a shame if I miss it. You know how she is, she'll forget it the next second. No need to console her."He hung up. As I watched him reach for the curtain, I instinctively shut my eyes, pretending I hadn't woken up yet.I slowly opened my eyes when I heard his footsteps fade away. Through the small gap in the curtain, I saw his retreating back as he walked off without a second thought.My nose stung.I grabbed my phone. It was somehow fully charged.I opened my electronic diary app, where I kept my records for the past seven years.Seven years ago, I was in a car crash. Although I survived, the doctors said my brain had suffered severe trauma, causing memory issues.One moment

Caleb and I were both survivors of the same car crash. We met while recovering in the same ward.When he found out I had memory issues, he made me a digital diary app and gave it to me as a gift.He told me, "Sadie, from now on, write about me in your diary. That way, you'll never forget me. And just tell me if anyone bullies you. I'll make sure they regret it."Back in my senior year, I sat in front of a guy who was always stirring up trouble. He never paid attention in class, and he just kept kicking the back of my chair. One day, I finally had enough and tried to talk to him nicely.He just gave me a nasty smirk and said, "Quit pretending. With a brain like yours, do you think you can remember anything you study?"Just from that smile, I knew he'd found out my secret, although I had no idea how. It was the first time I ever felt that kind of malice.When Caleb heard about it, he called the guy out and got into a fight with him. After that, that boy never bothered me again. No

Inside the elevator, Elijah turned my hand over and checked it carefully before breathing a sigh of relief. "Good. You're not hurt."I steadied him, frowning at the cast on his leg. "Your leg is still healing. Why are you wandering around?""I was worried. You took too long to come back, and I thought something might've happened."He looked like a kid caught in the wrong, accepting the scolding while mumbling out an excuse.My heart softened. "Thanks for earlier, Elijah.""Hmph." He looked a bit proud of himself. His eyes crinkled as he grinned."So, can we skip the bone broth soup today?""Nope."He stared at me with those round eyes. I couldn't help reaching out to ruffle his hair. "Be good. It'll help you heal faster.""Fine…"For some reason, he really did look like a puppy that had just been soothed by its owner. I couldn't help but laugh.Elijah didn't know what I was laughing at, but he laughed too.But as we laughed, I had this feeling that I'd forgotten something.

Elijah was finally discharged after more than two weeks in the hospital.His friends threw him a party to celebrate, and he insisted that I come along."I think I'll pass." I hesitated. I didn't want to show up and embarrass him if I made some awkward mistake.Elijah instantly deflated, slumping against the bed with a dramatic sigh."I knew it. In the end, you just don't see me as a real friend. Guess all those feelings I had were just wasted."He even buried his face in his hands and pretended to cry.It might've been more convincing if his fingers weren't spread wide enough for him to peek at me through them."That's not true. I do see you as a friend," I mumbled.I really did mean it after everything we'd been through recently. But the thought of my condition still made me hesitate.Elijah seized the opportunity. "Come on, Sadie."Perfect, he knew I couldn't resist a gentle approach. I ended up nodding.The moment I agreed, he sat up, beaming and started typing away on hi

It wasn't until I got outside that I realized this was my own place. Why was I running?I sat down on the staircase until I heard the front door shut, followed by the sound of the elevator sliding closed.A second later, my phone lit up with a message from Elijah. "I made breakfast. Don't forget to eat."For some reason, it made me feel like I was the jerk who ghosted someone after getting what I wanted.But I didn't even drink last night. How did things get so out of hand?Embarrassed, I wrote it all down in my diary. I had skipped the details for sure.Elijah sent me a bunch of texts afterward, but I deliberately ignored them.Eventually, I replied, "Let's just pretend that night never happened. Don't take it to heart."When he didn't respond for a long time, I felt relieved but strangely empty too.I didn't think I was so charming that someone could fall for me in just a few days. After all, I spent seven years trying to get someone else to love me, and it never worked.I
