Chapter 218: He needs to remember

Rex.

The movie ends before I even realize that they didn’t even come back. I shouldn’t have chosen a movie I really wanted to watch. Maybe that was a little selfish of me but it has been a while since I went out for a movie and I have been wanting to watch this movie since forever.

Everyone starts to leave as the lights come on. I grab Blue’s phone from the little space where you keep drinks on the chair and walk out of the theatre. I don’t even know where to begin looking for them and his phone is now in my back pocket.

I walk out of the mall and toss the rest of my popcorn in the trash by the entrance. I walk back to the car and it is parked in the same spot. I wait for about thirty minutes before I see them walk over to the car from the direction of the street. I don’t know what happened but I sense something serious. Blue looks at me immediately and there is regret in his eyes. I feel his worry even though I don’t know what transpired between them.

"Where did you guys go?’’ I ask both of them but all Gyles does is enter the car. Blue stops in front of me and pulls me into his arms.

"Can I just hold you for a second,’’ he whispers into my ear.

My heart melts from the contact. I didn’t even know I needed his hug until this moment. I wrap my arms around his waist "I think I made a mistake,’’ he confesses to me. I try to pull away from him to see his expression.

I don’t know what happened between them but now I can’t help but worry that it must be something major.

"Do you want to talk about it?’’ I look through the window and Gyles’s eyes are closed and his head is resting on the seat. He looks exhausted.

"Can you meet me later in the night? I need to talk to you about something,’’ he tells me. I nod my head and he lets go of me. There is a heaviness in his eyes. I hate that this date turned out this way. In my head, I saw it going in another direction. We all enter the car and I reach out for Gyles. He opens his eyes and there is sadness and pain.

What the fuck is going on?

"Did something happen?’’ I ask him again, in hopes that this time he will answer me. He manages a faint smile. Immediately I know it is fake. He is not being sincere. Why is it so hard to get through to Gyles?

"I just had a slight break down, but it’s all good now,’’ he looks to the front seat where Blue is "He helped me through it, so you don’t have to worry about me." His smile widens, it is almost like they have some sort of secret and to me, it seems like Blue doesn’t want to be involved in whatever it is.

We get to the community and Gyles is the first to leave the car. He doesn’t say a word as he walks into the house. I get down at the same time as Blue.

"What happened?’’ I ask him curiously.

He sighs loudly "I made a promise to him that I don’t want to keep. I don’t know how I am supposed to do that.’’

You know when you ask a question and the person answers the question without really answering the question? That is how it feels right now. Blue is telling me something that I don’t understand.

"What do you mean?’’ I ask him quietly. The night sky is dark, it is almost a full moon. We should be completing our mating process. We should be happy together but somehow everything is going so slowly. I hate that we have to wait. I hate that Gyles is not ready but I can’t be upset with him. This is not his fault. I don’t blame him for wanting to take his time. I just need this to go faster because my wolf is getting impatient and tired of waiting.

"He had a meltdown. I had to look for him,’’ he runs his hands through his hair frustratedly. I watch him intently as he continues "I found him like a couple of blocks away from the mall. I was so worried." He cries.

Blue is the one most affected by this. If Gyles rejects him, he will be rejecting me too. Just thinking about it hurts me to the core. I don’t want to imagine a world where they are not mine.

"He said you helped him through it. That must mean things are sorted out.’’

He shakes his head "He is asking me to help him forget his past. I agreed to it but I don’t want to.’’ he exhales loudly.

Forget what?

"Can you do that?’’

He nods "I have a spell. I can help him forget if he wants to but I don’t think it is a good idea. I don’t want to do it."

"Don’t do it,’’ I tell him blatantly.

There is no debating this. Why does he need to forget? Why would he ask him something so difficult?

"I already told him I would. I don’t think he will ever talk to me if I change my mind.’’

"You can’t be serious about this. This is a big deal Blue. You can’t erase his memory."

He shakes his head "I am not erasing his memory. I will just help him forget the things he doesn’t want to remember.’’

I furrow my brows "What does he want to forget and why?’’

He shrugs "I know it has to do when he was taken. All those years that he lost. I think there is a painful memory that he is blocking out for reasons unknown to me.’’

"You can’t make him forget those things Blue. I know you are at that point where you would do anything to get him but this is not the way to do this. Don’t do this,’’ I tell him. I can’t even believe that he will be thinking about this. There is no debating or questioning. He can’t do this.

"He hates me,’’ he states.

"He doesn’t fucking hate you. He is being selfish and I think that is just the kind of person he is. From all I know about Gyles, I know that he likes to think about himself before anyone else. I know that he feels all the things you feel. He just doesn’t want to accept it. He will come around, it might take some time but he will come around. Right now, his wolf is silent. His vampire side is stronger than his Lycan side. He can’t be controlled.’’

I am trying to convince him—maybe convince both of us that we have to be patient.

"I don’t know what to do,’’ he cries. This is the first time I have seen him so vulnerable. This is the first time he has shown this side to me. I love every second of this moment. I reach for him and cup my palm on his face. He closes his eyes and I watch the rise and fall of his chest. This man is stronger than the three of us combined. He is dealing with a lot right now. I don’t want to know how it feels. I don’t want to be in his shoes but I want to help him through it.

"You should help him remember,’’ I suggest.

If he is getting bits and pieces of the past. The best thing for him right now would be to remember it all at once "Can you do that?’’ I add.

"I can.’’ He tells me hesitantly.

I smile with my hand still cupping his face "Help him remember. Tell him that you are helping him forget and then make him remember.’’

I don’t know if this is the greatest idea but it is the only one I have. It is the only one that seems plausible. He wants to forget so bad when we all know that he needs to remember. That part of him is crucial.

The reason why he is so cold right now must have to do with his past. I know that he will be more accepting of everything once he figures out what happened in that basement.

"I don’t know..."

"You have to do this. That is the only way he will get the closure he needs to move on.’’ I tell him like I am so sure. Gyles might end up hating us but I know he will come around. I know him a lot more than Blue. Deep down, this is what he wants. He is afraid and I see this is how he handles fear—by forgetting.

Maybe all along his subconscious made him forget.

He needs to remember.
