(Jayden)

"It wasn't even meant for you, Jayden..." Lisa continues. "It was my fault."

Winona is standing there open-mouthed, clearly as shocked as I am at this confession.

"Well, that escalated quickly. I didn't even bring popcorn." Lance says trying to ease the crazy tension, no doubt.

We all look at him and say, "Shut up, Lance."

"Lisa, what are you saying? Who was it meant for? Winona asks.

"It's history." Lisa spits the words out at Ashlyn. "What matters is that you stop lying and saying there's proof when there isn't. Winona had nothing to do with the drugs." "Lisa, I don't get it." Winona says.

"I'm sorry. I should never have let it go this far. I was too scared to tell you all the truth and look like a complete idiot." Lisa sobs.

She runs out of the club and Winona follows her.

Ashlyn just stares at them both leaving and then turns to me. "But...

I say coldly, "I think you've already done enough, Ashlyn. Go home."

"No, Jayden, I swear! Your mother has the proof. She told me." "Seems like my mother has a lot to answer for then, doesn't it?"

Ashlyn holds her head in her hands. "Why would she say that?"

"Who cares. It just brings me back to the point that you don't trust me and you tried to manipulate me. I can't be with someone who has no trust in me or my love for them. The wedding is off, Ashlyn. I don't want any trouble over this." "Is it because your memory is back?"

"For fuck's sake." I shake my head. "No. Nothing is because I remembered anything. It's because I've just realized we are not meant to be together, no matter how much my mother wants to manipulate it. You know this as well as I do." She stares at me like she wants to say something, but then she leaves.

It's just me and Lance. "Damn." I sigh.

"Hearin' ya, bro."

We finish our drinks in silence. Not remembering all this stuff really gets to me.

I've really stuffed this up bigtime." I speak first. "What kind of a person
