Chapter 20- Memories and Confusion
JAYDEN
'Hey Jayden, wake up, Jayden.....'
"Jayden come on wake up, wake up. Snap out of it", a deep familiar husky voice demanded really loud but my body seem refused to react.
"Jayden please just wake up.....", Another voice pleaded almost in tear as my eyes flutter sweat beads on my forehead and face, tears streaming from my eyes.
"Hey Jayden, are you alright?", I sat upright on the bed and a white pillow at my back with the help of Jason as he questioned.
"Jayden are you okay, is something wrong?", Theodore asked worriedly he stood next to Jason who is currently squatting down next to me.
I turned to the the right side of the room and flinched as the sunlight directly reflected on my face. Ryan noticed my tense position and went to draw down the curtains.
"No I'm fine Theo, my head hurts a little", my raspy voice came out noticing my group members fixed gaze on me as I held my head and felt a tear rolling down my cheeks I frantically touched it and felt my eyes swollen with unshed and shedding tears.
"No you're not Jayden. You were sweating and crying heavily in your sleep", Jason responded a little taken aback worried of my health.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"I've been trying to wake you up for the past thirty minutes but I couldn't, you didn't even bulge a little and I had to ask them for help" Jason explained
"There is nothing to worry about guys, I'm okay".
"No Jayden you ain't, you were literally crying in your sleep. Just tell us what happened, we are all here to listen", Ryan sounded so soft and I nodded in agreement.
Now or later they will find out the truth!!!!!
"A-allie..... Allie is my soulmate bro", I stated in a shaky voice and heart broken that I was separated from my soulmate when I was just a child.
"WHAT!!" Jason yelled shocked and most of the members were confused.
"So what you're trying to say is that you have a soulmate and it's Allie who you have been searching for years and we suspected Kaylee being Allie which was not true. Whoa that's a lot to take in", Justin exclaimed loudly in one breath with his hands in the air dramatically.
"Ahh... It hurt for goodness sake stop yelling, my head's spinning", I said in a low voice holding my head tighly cause it feels like a hammer being stroke against.
"Jason and Justin keep shut. You're increasing his pain", Harvey scolded them and handed me the glass of water next to the lamp holder, I drank slowly and hard cause my throat is severely dry and sore.
After a few second I busted out what they couldn't believe "My....my parent knows about Allie Harvey, they took me away from her", I cried out squeezing my chest cause it hurts so much.
"Wow"
"What the hell !!!"
"How could they do such to their child for God's sake".
"It hurts so much guys, my head hurts a lot too"
"Erm I had no clue, the soulmate thingy is this strong", Justin said scratching the nape of his neck nervously.
"Yeah, I heard it so strong and unbreakable most soulmate dies without the other. In Jayden case, he has been without his soulmate for a long time that mean their bond hasn't been strengthen enough", Myles explained saying a word for the first time in a while and the others nodded and hummed understandably.
They heard a soft but painful sob as they diverted their attention from Myles to me. It was visible they were sad and shocked to see me their youngest member being so heartbroken which was so rare for them.
"Jay, I know it hurts just pour them out dear. I've gone through it and I know how painful it is, cry them out Jayden. Am right here", Harvey cooed with so much tenderness, he hugged me gently as I cry my painful heart out in his arms.
Minutes later, I momentarily stopped my self pity cause crying is for the weak ones which I am not, I stood up swiftly from Harvey's comfort and care.
"What's wrong Jayden?", Theo asked instantly and placed his right hand on my shoulder to stop me.
"I have to go guys!!! I have to go and find Allie. I'm going back to my parents house to find my fucking answers", I shook his hand off my back and wipe the almost dried tears.
"They are going to damn pay for the pain I have gone through for eleven freaking years", I said harshly than ever walking towards the wardrobe grabbing out my sky blue suitcase.
"Calm down Jayden, you can't do that", Theo said and I faced impatiently waiting for his reason.
"And why is that?, I gotta confront them for taking me from Allie. I don't even know what condition Allie will be, she must have been waiting for so long I promised her I would come back but no my parents are the sole of problem of this issue and I can't find her anywhere. I'm so heartless, I must find her by all cost she wil-", Jason sharply interjected.
"What of Kaylee?", He yelled angrily and I stopped in track, he continued "And Kaylee, what are you going to about her. Are just going to leave her, last night you confessed that you like her Jayden, are you going to abandon her all alone"
"No she has you guys. I-I...but I promised Allie I would find her. S-she is probably still w-waiting for me", my voice cracked I broke down, Ryan rushed to my side patting my back.
"It's okay Jay, everything is fine", he tried to assure but I know everything is wrong, absolutely wrong. I don't know what to feel anymore, I can't choose between Allie and Kaylee, why is it so difficult. And my mind is going insane, nothing is okay.
Nothing is okay !!!!!!
"No Ryan..... everything is a-absolutely wrong. I can't l-leave Kaylee side, I j-just can't. I'm going crazy Ryan, my mind and brain shouts for Allie but my heart a-aches a lot, it hurts the most it yearns for Kaylee. I'm going crazy, p-please tell me what to do", I knelt down beside the wardrobe emotionless.
"Do you want my advise Jayden?", Myles unexpectedly asked.
I looked up waiting patiently for his response as he continued "Follow what ever your hearts says. Explain everything to Kaylee she will understand Jay".
Harvey hummed "Boy, you need to realise what your heart really want. It's clear that you're deeply in love with Kaylee", I shook my head rigorously denying.
"Let's me finish Jay-", he paused and stood in front of us and he squatted down pointing directly to my heart. " Do you really want to know why your heart gives you so much pain. Your heart tries to tell us something Jay, but if we keep ignoring what it have to say. It starts to beat loudly and painfully until we actually listen to whatever it has to say. It beats rapidly for you to heed no matter what, for you to notice and understand. That's why your heart hurts Jayden meaning you should pay attention to what your heart have to say.".
I was in utmost shock by his explanation of an heart beats "Harvey, I like her yes but love?... it's too early"
He laughed and said "There is no precise time to fall in love, there is just when you realise you already fell-", an exhausted sigh came out from him and he looked at me with so much care and understanding.
That's why he is the Mother of the group. He understands each one of us and care for us. I would honestly say he basically raised me !!!!!!!
"When you find the right person everything else will vanish there will be no restrictions, no age, no time, no social status, nothing will matter Jayden. Only love, simple", he continued a small smile tugged at his lip.
"B-but Allie is my soulm-".
"Go back to sleep Jayden, you need it", Ryan suggested with his help he tucked me into my bed.
God, I'm not a child then why so much care and attention but I won't say I don't love it.
I'm really scared of going back to sleep, afraid of anymore secret my parents kept from me and finally getting back my lost memories.
"I will take care of Kaylee and her friends. Don't worry, just get back you strength", Theo assured and I finally gave in drifting back to sleep.

'Aden, catch me', a tiny but soft voice boomed into the hallway as her little footsteps were heard running through the wall.
'Catch me aden', a quiet giggle left her mouth hiding behind the large clean and brown curtains beside the grandfather's clock.
The voice of a little boy called out wandering the hall 'Allie, where are you?', he asked slowly slightly trudging to the curtains where the young girl hid as her continuous giggling was heard.
He smiled to himself sighting her long waxy brown plaited hair flowing with the rhythm of the wind.
'Allie, I can't seem to find you anywhere', his known bunny smile tilt more listening to her gasp and later giggle.
He walked to the curtains quietly and stood right in front of her as the curtains were boundary from noticing each other. He smirked and tickled her waist earning a loud laughter from her.
He chuckled and shr gasp with a shunned face. 'Stop it Aden', she laughed more.
'I found you Allie, now it's your turn', he release her waist admiring her pout and her watery golden eyes. She look so innocent he had the huge urge to lock her away in the tower if he actually have a tower.
'It's not fair Aden. You cheated', she whined pouted her lips with folded arm. He smiled at her cuteness and pinched her left cheeks.
'Ooww, what was that for Idiot?', she scolded a little loud.
'That was for being so cute-', he shrugged unaffected and continued 'Anyway I won and you lost so tag you're in'
She groaned soft and lifted her soft golden eyes to him his green-blue eyes. They both cared and loved each other it's visible in the way they look at one another like their world. Even though they were young to feel those strong emotions but they do and sometimes it's out of control.
'Aisshhh. Fine, fine' she agreed in a pleasant and smooth voice.
He wanted to hide but they heard an heavy footsteps running through the hall, he stopped and watched the view.
'Young master, Miss Gracie asked to inform you that your lunch is ready', an early twenty lady in a white shirt and plain black fitted skirt with black flat heel. Her short straighten black hair as she said and bowed.
'Okay you can take you leave', the maid bowed once more taking her leave.
Aden turned his face to the sight as admired her beautiful face and a bright smile on her pink lips. Her mom parted her hair into two sections, she French braided her hair and two thick braids rested on her shoulder with a different hair ties at the end of it.
'Lets not keep Gracie waiting, I'm hungry anyway so let's go Aden', she took his hand which by the way was way large than hers into her soft cotton fingers.
She led down the stair to the destinated kitchen as they sighted Miss Gracie who has been their chef for ten years and he loves her so much.
'And what do we have here. Allie, it has been a while how are you?', a middle-aged woman in a white apron and her hazel eyes twinkling with recognition with a hair net on her head.
'Yes Miss Gracie, I've missed you and I'm fine', her nice voice responded trying to climb on the seat but she couldn't. The dinner chair were much more taller than her and he found that cute.
He laughed at her struggled and she hissed at me 'Are you going to keep standing there laughing your ass out or will you help me'
'Language Allie', Miss Gracie reprimanded her.
'I'm sorry Miss Gracie', she apologized in a low voice.
He waltzed to her side and lifted her off the ground carefully placed her on the dinner seat. 'That's my angel, are we good', he asked petting her hair.
'Hey, stop that. Don't roughen my hair, my mom spent twenty minutes plaiting it', she hissed frantically shoving his hand off from her hair.
He chuckled and raised my hand in the air surrendering and pulled a chair next to her as Gracie served our lunch, they ate it quietly.
'Thanks for the lunch Miss Gracie', she stated and bowed her hair.
'Thanks Gracie'
'No problem children', she smiled and walked into the kitchen back with a bowl of dessert from brownie to cookies to cupcakes and lastly Allie's favourite Chocolate Chip ice cream.
Allie grinned widely staring at the calories in front of her.
'Gracie, when did you prepare all these?', he asked curiously and stunned to see so much dessert.
She chuckled 'When I heard your Allie was coming', she shook her head.
Aden turned to his side to see Allie munching down the cookies sipping her chocolate ice cream.
'Such cute soulmates', Miss Gracie muttered under her breath but he still heard.
Cracking his brain to find out why exactly she said that but he couldn't figure out. A high pitched annoyance voice called him out of his trance of thought as he wrinkled my nose in disgust and irksome.
Aden sighed heavily and faced the person that caused his sudden irritation. A ginger haired girl who has a flirty smile on the disgusting lip cat walked to us. 'Gracie I have missed you', she strode to Gracie and hugged her waist.
You could see by his actions he does not like her.
'Why are you here *****?', he couldn't exactly hear her name but he knew he certainly does not like her.
For two reasons, One - she is two years older than him and tried to get him to like her forcefully.
Two - She is so rude and mean to Allie anytime she is around her and also too clingy.
The unknown girl is the niece of Gracie so he had to tolerate her for years.
'I came to see Aden-', she flutter her eyelashes to him as he thought isn't she too young for this. 'And her', she said to Allie with disgust and clucked her tongue disapprovingly.
He turned to Allie to see her reaction but she gladly ignored her presence still quietly eating her cupcake.
Gracie nodded and walked back into the kitchen leaving Jayden, Allie and the ginger haired girl. 'You have no right to call me by that name, did I make it clear', he threatened in a low deep voice.
He stood up from the seat and grasped Allie's arm ' Let's go allie'.
'But I'm not yet done, Aden wai-', she was rudely cut off by an annoying voice.
'Jayden, let her be. I will come with you'
'No there is no need *****, Allie just take a cupcake and let's get out of here', he insisted.
Allie sighed 'Fine', she jumped up from the chair and was pushed on the floor painfully by the ginger haired girl that he can't seem to remember her name.
'She doesn't deserve you Jayden. Why do you like her so much?', she grasp his hand so tight narrowing her eyes at Allie at the front.
'Allie, are you alright-',
I woke up in a fright as usual but this time around not a bead of sweat or a drop of tear me being me I'm a little sad of my life.
This have been my longer memories ever and it's confusing. Who is the unknown girl and I need to find Miss Gracie she quitted a year I left my house.
Where am I going to start looking for you Allie ?????? .
