"I can't believe that just happened," Ashlyn almost laughed.

"You can say that again but at least we don't have to worry about your parents anytime soon," Caleb said.

Ashlyn screamed in surprise as her eyes went black. Then she noticed it was only Caleb. "Oh my God, Caleb. Scared me to death, why don't you!"

"Sorry," he innocently grinned. "I just wanted to check on you."

"Uh huh, so how much of that did you hear," Ashlyn asked.

"Ummm, pretty much all of it," he admitted. "Well, at least we don't have to deal with your parents."

"Yeah, now all we have to deal with is Chase," she said.

"Right," Caleb agree. "So...you're really not going?"

"No, of course not. I could never leave you," Ashlyn said, rolling her eyes.

Caleb pulled is girlfriend up so that she was standing and held her close.

And now...

Chapter 26: Love Forgotten

"How about we go out tonight," Caleb asked out of the blue.

"What," Ashlyn asked slightly amused.

"Chase won't do anything in public and I think all of the guys could use a night of fun," her fiancé agreed.

"So let me guess, Nicky's," she laughed.

"Yup, why don't you get ready while I call the guys and I'll meet you outside in about half an hour?"

"Sure," she smiled. Ashlyn walked him to the door and kissed him goodbye. After a quick shower, she threw on a purple, silk baby doll dress. She slipped on her favorite ankle-length black boots. Ashlyn quickly did her makeup and curled her hair. Her phone began vibrating; letting her know she had a new text message.

I'm pulling up front. Meet me at the car.

-C

Ashlyn smiled to herself as she locked the door behind her and headed out to the school parking lot. Caleb was leaning against his car; arms crossed against his chest and his head staring down at the ground.

"Hey handsome," Ashlyn called out as she got close. Caleb just stood there staring at her; taking in her appearance. He smiled when she was in front of him and leaned in to kiss her. "I love you," he said when they broke apart minuets later.

"Love you too," she smiled. "Now let's go."

Everyone was already there, we Caleb and Ashlyn pulled up at Nicky's. Kate and Pogue were sitting at a table, wrapped in their own world while Reid and Tyler were at the pool table.

"Hey Ash," Kate exclaimed when she saw her and Caleb. Kate got up and hugged Ashlyn before sitting back down. "Hey Caleb," the mocha skinned girl smiled. The two couples sat and talked before Ashlyn decided to head over to the pool tables, where her brother was.

"What's up guys," she greeted them.

"Hey sis," Tyler hugged her.

"What, I don't get one," Reid frowned.

"Of course you do," Ashlyn laughed and hugged him too. "So up for a game?"

"Sure, rack'em up," Reid smirked.

Ashlyn played a few games against Reid and then Tyler before heading back to Caleb.

"Hey baby, you ready to go," he asked.

"Sure," Ashlyn said goodbye to her brother and friends before leaving.

Caleb and Ashlyn drove off in the mustang. Just as they were passing by the remains of the burnt down barn, the car came to a complete stop.

"What's going on," Ashlyn asked her boyfriend.

"I don't know something's wrong with the car," he answered. Caleb tried starting the car but it sputtered and then died out again. They heard a loud noise as something jump on the hood of the car. Then Chase appeared in front of them just as ever window was broken.

"Dammit," Caleb muttered under his breath as Chase laughed. "Ash, stay in the car," he told her before going out to face the fifth son.

"Yeah right," she scoffed before joining him outside.

"Ash, get back in the car," Caleb growled, walking around to stand in front of his girl in an attempt to protect her.

Chase just chuckled, clearly amused by Caleb's attempts. "Sorry Caleb but that's not going to help Ash." Chase's eyes were pitch black as he focused on Ashlyn. Suddenly, she fainted and Caleb was barely able to catch her before her head made contact with the hard road. Caleb turned around with Ashlyn in his arms, ready to face Chase but the boy disappeared.

Caleb looked down at the girl her love. He kissed her forehead and urged her to wake up for him. Finally, after what seemed like hours, he heard her let out a groan. He set her on her feet when she started to squirm in his arms.

"W-what, what happened," she asked confused.

"Baby, don't you remember," Caleb asked worried.

"B-baby," she looked at him as if he had grown another head. "I'm not your baby! I don't even know what I'm doing with you. How did I get here? If you're trying to kidnap me, I swear to God I'll scream my lungs out."

"Ash, what are you talking about," Caleb asked. She didn't remember how he was. "Don't you know me?"

"Well duh, you're Caleb Danvers. You're the captain of the swim team and one of the popular guys."

"And how are you," he asked, trying to figure out what was going on with his fiancé.

"I'm Ashlyn Kennedy. I just transferred from New York," she told him.

"Ash, you need to remember. You're not Ashlyn Kennedy. You're Ashlyn Simms and also my fiancé. I love you and you love me!"

"Love you," she exclaimed. "I don't even know you. I just transferred last week and this is the first time I'm actually talking to you Danvers! Now you better tell me why I'm standing in the middle of a road late at night with you."

Caleb couldn't believe what was happening. His love didn't know who he was. Ashlyn didn't know a thing about her life in Ipswich or her relationship to the sons. Chase had her under his spell and Caleb knew he had to figure out a way to break it soon.

Well there you guys go. Another chapter done. Please, please review. I'll send you a cookie. Lol.
