Chapter 1: The memory

I went to her house, as I wanted her to help me with my project. I knew she wouldn't accept, but I had to try. She was the best at script writing. I was about to knock her door, when I heard a car parking in front of her yard. I recognized his car. I hid behind a tree at her house's yard and observed him, as he got out of his car. I could understand how much drunk he was. He knocked her door and brushed a tear away from his cheek. My jaw felt. It was the first time I saw him crying... Was he drunk because of her? Did he love her so much? Then, why did he break up with her? I heard footsteps. He took a step away from the door, as she opened it. She froze. I tried to listen to them carefully.

"Wh-What are you doing here?" She chocked out surprised.

"I love you." He whispered.

"That's insane!" She shouted. "How can you love me?" She asked him.

"Please, try to understand me..." He muttered.

"What about me? You never understood me..." She whispered.

I saw him frowning. "Okay... But, I love you. Can you understand this?" He stated.

She shook he head. "Nope."

"But... you have to." He insisted. "Or I'll make you understand." I recognized a harsh tone at his voice. If I were she, I would be afraid of him and that harsh tone. He even sounded dangerous. But she knew he wasn't gonna hurt her...

She chuckled. "What is that? A threat?" She asked him.

"I don't know." He replied. "I know you love me, and I'll do anything to make you say it." He stated.

"Great." She replied sarcastically. Then, she stopped. She took a step closer to him and frowned. "Are you drunk?" She asked him carefully.

"Maybe." He answered.

"How much have you drunk?" She continued.

He sighed. "I don't know... One... two..."

"Glasses?"

"Bottles."

"Why did you do that? You rarely drink." She announced.

"I don't have a problem drinking... for you." Okay, that was sweet.

"I don't really care." She said. I took a look at her face. She was trying to keep an emotionless expression.

"Okay, fine... If you don't care, there's no point in standing here..." He stated.

"Yup. That's what I wanted to hear. Bye." She said bitterly.

"I'm gonna make you understand that I love you and that you want me, remember these words." He told her. I could understand a sign of fear at her eyes. For the first time, she was afraid of him. He was drunk. You never know what a drunk man is able to do...

"I'd love to see that." She replied, with a fake smile at her face.

He sighed and turned around. I saw him collapsing as he tried to move to his car. She gasped and reached him. I bit my lip in order to remain silent. She pulled him and tried to put him at the back seats of his car. I wanted to run and help her, but I decided that it would be more clever if I stayed behind the tree. She put the key to the ignition and I left my hide-out. She sped and I started running in order not to lose the car. I had been following them till she stopped, in front of his house.

She parked the car in front of his house's door. I saw her pulling him out of his car. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"You ok?" She asked him.

"Sure. I'm better than ok..." He replied.

She helped him reach the door and open it. They got in. The door closed and I stood there, waiting for something to happen.

After a minute, I decided that nothing was going to happen. I started walking away, when I heard her talking... or maybe, shouting. I wondered what was happening in there. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but she stopped suddenly. I heard a sound like something falling down and breaking. I froze, in order to hear anything else. But I heard nothing more.

Only silence...

I woke up panting. I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the kitchen. I took a glass of water and tried to calm down. That dream had been killing me for over a month. That memory... Two years ago...

I should've done something that day. I didn't even ask her what had happended. I saw her the following day but I was afraid to talk to her. Then, she moved to Europe, for a year. When she returned, she was aloof. She didn't talk to anyone. After a month, she started talking to Cat, then Andre... It took me ages to talk to her and recover my friendship with her, or whichever kind of friendship we had... I didn't even then ask her about that night. What was she saying? What happened? Why did she stop shouting? What made her stop shouting? How did she left his house? How was he? Why was he drunk? Those questions had been killing me, until I stopped thinking about it.

And then... it was that weird room at her house... That room which, from when she returned, was always locked. Even now, it's locked and no one knows what's inside. Even her boyfriend. I tried to ask him a lot of times, but he didn't know anything about that weird room.

It used to be her brother's room, but when she moved to Europe, he found his own apartment. Despite the fact that he was one year younger than her. When she moved back to LA, the room's door locked. No one knowswhat's in that bedroom. Only she and her mother. That's why I'm gonna visit her tomorrow. Since she doesn't tell me anything, and since even her boyfriend doesn't know anything, I'm going to make my own research...

I opened the fridge and grabbed some bread, cheese and ham. I made a sandwitch and starting eating it. It was 3 in the morning, but I needed to eat something. That dream scared me. I have to learn what happened that night. And what's in that bedroom. And I'm gonna learn it tomorrow. I sat on the couch and turned the TV on. Telemarketing. It's boring but the best thing on TV at this hour. I sighed and finished my sandwitch. I stood up and threw the plate to the sink.

I made my way to my bedroom, when my phone suddenly buzzed. I sighed. Who could send me a text message this time? I looked at my phone. I had a new message. I opened it and read it quickly.

I have a problem. I need your mother. Call me.

I shook my head and tried to understand what the message said. It was from her... I ran to my mom's bedroom and got inside quickly.

"MOM!" I screamed. She opened her eyes surprised and scared and looked at me.

"What happened? Is there any reason why you woke me up at 3:30 in the morning?" She shouted at me.

"Yeah! Jade..." I chocked out. "She has a problem and she needs you. I really don't know what kind of problem she has, but..." I paused. "... she needs you desperately." I explained.

She sighed. "Okay... Call her and I'll talk to her to see what happened." She told me. I nodded. I took my phone and called Jade.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

"Hello?"

"Hi Jade! Here's my mom." I said quickly. I gave my phone to my mother and tried to understand what Jade's problem was.

"Yeah? Hi Jade. Tell me, what's wrong?" She paused. "Who has fever?" My mom almost screamed surprised. Her eyes widened. I looked at her, searching for an answer. "Okay... Relax. There's no need to worry. I just don't... get it... How... How did that happen? Okay... Stop screaming, just do what I'm telling you." She stopped. She looked at me and waved to the door. I got the message. I got out of the room and waited outside of the door, trying to listen what my mom was saying. I completely failed.

The door opened and my mom appeared in front of . "Here." She gave me my phone.

"Everything ok?" I asked her.

"Sure. Everything is fine." She replied.

"Who had fever?" I questioned her again.

She looked down. "Ugh... You know... Jade's mom." She answered.

"Why would Jade want to ask you? You're not a doctor..." I asked her suspiciously.

"Um... She didn't know any doctors' numbers and she thought that... since I raised two children I'm capable of giving some good advice for fever."

"Okay..." I said in disbelief. She gave me an innocent smile and I turned around and headed to my room.

I lay on my bed and observed the ceiling, trying to think what Jade could want from my mom... and who had fever, until I fell asleep.
