Adam stood near the door in shock if Jay hadn't grabbed his arm he would have gone charging over to Luke and knocked him out right there. He felt as if someone had punched him in the stomach and then tried ripping it out, a lump instantly formed in his throat and he wanted to run over and grab a hold of Jade and tell her not to do it, not to ruin her life by getting married to Luke, who was clearly a complete bastard to everyone around him. He didn't care about anyone but himself.
Jay shot a sideways glance at Adam, he looked heart broken and Jay immediately felt sorry for his best friend. He could tell how much he loved Jade, he had known Adam for too long not to recognise when Adam was in love, he had only seen him like this once and that was with a girl in high school, but that hadn't ended to well. Though Jay had to admit that this was way more intense, he really was in love with Jade and it killed Jay to know that Adam was watching her being taken away from him.
Melinda gasped and put her hand over her mouth. She had to admit she didn't like Luke all that much and true she felt sorry for Adam because she could tell how he felt but she was definitely happy for Jade. It was so out of the blue and she couldn't help but be happy for her daughter at that moment.

"Oh my god" Jade whispered as tears filled her eyes, she was overwhelmed at what she had just been asked, it was true she had never been a fan of the whole 'marriage' idea but from what she remembered, Luke had really cared for her "You know better than anyone that I've never planned on getting married…and I've never even told you that I love you…and I've never told anyone apart from family that I love them"

"I don't care Jade, I love you and I know you love me even if you can't say it out loud yet, you've had a rough time of it when it comes to the whole 'love' thing…so I don't mind if you never tell me you love me…just as long as you marry me" Luke smiled sweetly, he didn't believe a word of what he just said but he knew it was getting to Adam and that was all that mattered to him, getting to Adam.

"Don't do it" Adam suddenly interrupted as he went to walk over to Jade but Jay tugged at his best friends arm to let him know he didn't think it was such a good idea to get too close to Luke, it could have ended badly…for Luke.

"What?' She asked, confused at Adams sudden outburst.

"Don't marry him…you can't…Jade you have to remember the last month…please remember" Adam begged.

"Jade, he has been trying to split us up over the past month and he is obviously doing it again so don't bother listening to a word he says" Luke said holding Jades hand.

"Adam, whether I marry Luke or not…that has nothing to do with you…I think you should go" Jade spoke.

"Jade please" Adam begged "You have to remember…What about the day we played Just Dance and you were laughing at my dancing" He added trying to jog her memory "Or the day we sunbathed in the garden all day listening to rock music with bears and then jumped in the swimming poolbecause you were saying you were hot " Jade looked at him with a blank face, she had no idea what he was talking about it and that was obvious to everyone in the room. "Or the day you forced me to watch all of the Twilight movies and I fell asleep so you jumped on me" Adam laughed at the memory. "I didn't want to do this" He sighed.

"Do what Adam?" Jade asked.

"Yeah, do what?" Luke said as he narrowed his eyes.

"Luke was at the apartment when I went to get your sketchpad" He said rubbing his neck.

"What?" Jade, Jay and Melinda all said at once. Luke's eyes widened in horror as he squeezed Jades hand.

"It was him" Adam said.

"What are you talking about?" Jade asked.

"It was Luke…he told me it was him who did this to you"

"You didn't say anything when you came back…why?" Melinda asked.

"He threatened to kill me if I told anyone"

"I don't believe you…you would have told someone if it was true" Jade spat.

"I'm telling the truth Jade" Adam pleaded.

"Just go" She whispered.

"No Jade" He pleaded again.

"Come on man, let's go…there's nothing we can do" Jay intervened and gently pulled Adam by the arm towards the door.

"NO!" He shouted. "She has to remember…I can't let her marry him…he's going to hurt her"

"ADAM!" Jay shouted "Let it go" He whispered.

"Jay…I can't" Adam choked back the tears "She's going to get hurt and I promised that I wouldn't…"

"You have no choice" Jay replied. Adam looked over at Jade, looking into her eyes he knew that the old Jade was still in there somewhere, fighting to get out. The last month couldn't be erased so easily and he was determined to find her again. He sighed in defeat and shook his head as he turned and walked out of the room with Jay following closely behind. Adam and Jay sat in the car and Adam asked question after question without pausing to let Jay answer.

"Can you believe that? Do you think she'll say yes? What do I do if she does? Jay, are you listening to me?"

"Man, hold up and take a breath I can't answer all those questions whilst you're talking" Jay laughed with his eyes on the road. "Yes, don't know, give it time…and yes" He added answering all of Adams questions in one go.

"I can't lose her Jay…I just can't" Adam choked back the tears as they filled his eyes and threatened to run down his cheeks.

"Look, let's go back to yours and I'll stay the night, you can let it all out over a beer" Jay smiled.

"I like that idea" Adam laughed, relieved that the urge to cry had gone.

"Good, cause so do I" Jay grinned; nothing else was said on the way back to Adams house. Jay parked the car outside Adams house and they both got out and went inside. Adam walked straight into the kitchen to get two beers whilst Jay walked straight into the living room and sat on the sofa. "Come on Adam, I need beer!" Jay shouted impatiently.

"Shut up!" Adam smiled walking into the living room as he opened the beers and handed them to Jay.

"So, tell me all about the past month" Jay said sitting up and getting ready to listen intently to what his best friend had to say.

"It's been good…I was such a prick to her sometimes but she always forgave me and came back...it got too much for her at one point and she slapped me…I just kept saying I didn't want her help but I did really…I was just scared I suppose" He sighed sitting back.

"Of what?" Jay asked.

"At first because I was scared about what would happen when I sorted myself out…I couldn't wrestle so I had no idea what I was going to do…then I wasn't scared so much about that I started worrying about if I pulled myself together would she just go and not come back" Adam shrugged.

"So what happened?"

"I decided I would just risk her going and start sorting my head out and that was the day we ended up in bed together" He sighed rubbing his forehead.

"You look like you regret it" Jay said.

"I don't…why would I? I love her and there is nothing I can do about it….she's going to marry Luke and I'm going to be right back where I started" Adam moaned.

"No, you're not, if she does marry him then me and the rest of the guys are going to be there for you and help you through it"

"Thanks, but I don't think that'll help…I just don't know what I'm going to do…I have to get her back somehow…I need to somehow her to remember"

"Before the accident, did she tell you or let you know that she had feelings?" Jay asked.

"No, but I could tell…she kissed me back and she didn't have to sleep with me…she just did and then when I was at her apartment I read her diary and she had written in their that she thought she was falling for me"

"I suppose that would be a bit of a give away" Jay sighed "I'll help ya man, you'll get the girl…one way or another…I promise"

"Thanks…that means a lot to me" Adam smirked as he pulled his best friend in for a hug.

"No worries…we've known each other for over 20 years and we've helped each other through everything…nothing's changed that" Jay explained patting Adam on the back and laughing slightly. "What I can't get my head around though is you didn't tell anyone about seeing Luke at the house" Jay sighed.

"You believe me?" Adam smiled.

"Of course I do"

"Then why didn't you help me when we were in the hospital?"

"There was nothing I could do was there" Jay sighed. "So what actually happened at the house when you see him? Jay asked.

"We had a fight" Adam shrugged.

"And…"

"He told me it was him and if I told anyone he would kill me…he had a knife"

"You should have said something and we could have gone to the police" Jay sighed "You're really making things difficult for yourself with Jade"

"I know but I didn't know what to do and I made a stupid decision" Adam moaned.

"That's true" Jay sighed "But we'll sort it out" He reassured his best friend.

"Do you really mean what you said?" Jade asked looking at Luke.

"Ok course I do…I love you Jade, whether you like it or not, I know you'll never say you love me but like I said earlier, I know you love me even if you don't say it" Luke smiled and kissed Jades forehead. Jade suddenly felt a déjà vu moment come on and lay in confusion for a bit as she tried her hardest to remember where she remembered that moment from but she just couldn't put her finger on it.

"Then…yes…I will marry you" Jade beamed looking at Luke, she wasn't sure why she had agreed to it because she always had and still did hate the idea of getting married.

Let me know what you think :)
