18 The Way We Were (Jayden)

Winona, younger, in a short dress, dancing. Her body moved in perfect time with the beat. Her smile is just for me, her eyes just for me. That feeling of jealously smashing through me.

A pain sears into my brain as the scene goes black.

"Okay. I've heard enough." I hold my head for a few seconds. "I need time to process all of this."

Lance looks at me. "You know. If you want her back, there is a lot to apologize for."

"I never said I wanted her back. I've just broken up with my fiancée for chrissakes."

Lance continues as if I've said nothing. "Sure, you have a somewhat valid excuse, you don't remember her. But you were pretty cruel three years ago and that wasn't called for. And that is coming from me, the person who has broken endless hearts." "I was angry, confused."

"None of this is anymore Winona's fault than it is yours. If you want her back, you'll need to start at ground zero by getting her to be friends again."

I shake my head. "I don't want to get Winona back."

"Sure you don't," Lance says sarcastically.

"Don't make me pissed."

"Like you have any other mood lately."

"I haven't been that bad."

"Bullshit. You've been a monster. I think you need to try and remember some things, maybe that will help."

"The whole problem is, I don't know if what I think I'm remembering is true or not. Maybe I dreamt half this crap. I just don't know. Who can I trust to tell me the truth."

"I'd say Winona, but that ship has currently sailed."

"No shit, Sherlock."

"I'm deeply wounded that you even need to ask who to trust."

"I dunno, Lance. You shouldn't have to be involved."

I'm pretty sure I already am. Plus I think Lisa was trying to drug me."
