Again sorry for the wait, I wanted this chapter to be up quicker but…
Anyhow, thanks so much for the lovely reviews.
CHRIS 16
I took a deep breath and reminded myself that that happened three years ago and Jade and I had obviously made up - I mean we're engaged and she's pregnant.
My family just stared at the scene with wide eyes, confusion written all over their faces.
"So you broke up but you obviously got back together right" Phoebe commented though I'm sure she knew the answer.
"Yeah about three weeks later we did" I replied and watched as my family let out a sigh of relief before we were plunged into another memory. Surely it has to be done soon, Jade will be worrying about us if we are gone too long.
Jade was sitting cross legged on her bed, papers cluttered around her. She had dark circles under her eyes and her hair was like a rat's nest.
I frowned, wondering exactly what happened in the weeks that we were apart – knowing that I looked exactly the same.
A knock sounded at her door and she looked up quickly, frowning at the noise.
"Come in" she called out before looking back down at her papers – engrossed in her work.
Rose entered through the door, a look of sympathy plastered on her face.
"Hey honey, how you feeling?" She asked quietly and Jade looked up from her work, frowning slightly at the question she was asked.
"I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" she said haughtily before sifting through the stack of papers that was situated beside her.
Rose gulped nervously and moved forwards so she was sitting on the end of the bed, about the only place that was available due to the sheer scale of papers lying on the bed.
"You shouldn't be working this hard Jade, take a break and recharge your batteries" rose suggested. Jade peered up at her, smiling slightly at Rose's concern.
"I can't, these reports need to be done" Jade said which made Rose frown and lean forward, holding onto Jade's arm.
So, she's working like crazy cause you too broke up?" Mum asked and I nodded in confirmation.
"Yeah"
"I know you're hurting but doing this to yourself won't help" Rose implored and Jade's eyes began to fill up with tears.
"I don't know what you're talking about" She said quickly, avoiding eye contact with her friend.
"Yes you do Jade. Ever since you and Chris have split up you've been on this whole work, work, work path and I'm pretty sure you haven't slept in the past week – it's not good. And on top of that you AND Chris have been completely miserable" Rose said shakily.
My mum and dad looked at me sympathetically. I guess they knew what it was like to be broken up.
Jade looked down at her hands and was quiet for a few seconds before answering.
"Okay maybe you're right but… doing this, working this hard, it takes my mind off things. And yeah maybe I'm not okay – actually far from okay – but there's nothing nobody can do so… you don't have to worry, honestly" she said emotionally, trying to contain her tears.
I stared down at my feet, knowing the pain that Jade was going through because I felt exactly the same. When we weren't together it felt as if I couldn't breathe… it was just so bad.
Rose just continued to stare at Jade before taking a deep breath and looking like the next words were hard to say.
"Do you still love him?" she asked quietly. Jade looked sad as a tear slid down her cheek.
"Yeah, and that'll probably never change but…" Jade trailed off, stuck in memories.
I couldn't help but smile, feeling the butterflies flutter in my stomach when she said that.
Rose smiled slightly and raised herself of the bed, giving Jade's hand one last squeeze.
"I better leave you to it, but just promise me you'll get some sleep okay?" rose asked and slipped out of the room leaving Jade sitting cross legged on the bed, a trail of tears running down her face.
My mum squeezed my hand as we all evaporated and landed in a different memory. I realised it was about two weeks later and it was when we all got attacked.
The resistance were under attack, darklighters shooting arrows all over the place. Jade was running through the mass of bodies, shocking the darklighters and using her shield to repel the arrows. Jade whipped her head round, screaming frantically for Chris.
She rounded a corner and just managed to shock one with her elektrokenisis before it shot its arrow at Chris. Jade ran forward, pulled the arrow from the darklighters grip and stabbed him with it so he burst up in flames.
"She totally just saved your ass" Paige commented making me smile.
Jade pulled Chris to his feet and they just stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds, hardly moving. Rose then ran round the corner, breathing heavily like she had just ran a marathon.
"All the darklighters are vanquished, nobody was…" But she trailed off as she saw Chris and Jade – staring at each other.
She smiled happily and tiptoed backwards, hiding behind the wall and peaking her head out.
I smiled and rolled my eyes at Rose's antics. I couldn't even remember what she had said or even realised that she was even watching – I guess we were so caught up in each other.
They continued to stare at each other until Jade leaned upwards slowly and pressed her lips to Chris', running her hands through his hair.
Chris looked shocked until he soon melted into the kiss and kissed her back.
Rose was grinning in delight, a smile stretched across her face.
"Rose, have you seen Chr…" Some guy started to ask until Rose turned around and shushed him urgently, urging him and a few others to come forward.
"Your friend is quite a character" My dad commented, whilst my family nodded in agreement. Rose kinda reminded me of Aunt Paige and Phoebe. She was exuberant and lively.
The small group looked around the corner, smiling at the scene in front of them.
"About time" the same guy whispered, "I thought they would never get back together".
After a while Jade pulled back and stared at Chris, a small smile on her lips.
"Jay, I really am sorry…" Chris started to say but Jade pressed her finger to his lips, silencing him.
"Shut up and kiss me" she said playfully, smiling happily at Chris. He obeyed and the little group that was watching walked away muttering "Mission accomplished".
"So… that's how you got back together?" My mum asked whilst the rest of my family were smiling.
"Yup, everything was okay after that" I said as we were plunged into another memory.
Chris and jade was sneaking into the attic in the manor, careful to be quiet. Chris was holding Jade's hand and they ran up to the podium where the book of shadows normally stays except it wasn't there anymore.
"Okay Chris, just concentrate and summon the book to you. It's of your bloodline so it should work" Jade said urgently and Chris nodded and closed his eyes and just a few seconds later the book appeared on front of him and Jade let out a huge smile.
"I don't understand. What's going on here?" my dad asked me, looking confused.
"This is when I come back to the past, we had to get the book of Wyatt in order to get the spell" I explained, watching the scene carefully.
Chris smiled as well and began flipping through the pages as Jade ran forward and began to draw a symbol on the wall in chalk.
"Okay found it" Chris muttered, reading over the page in the book.
Jade finished up drawing on the attic wall and walked up to Chris, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"I guess this is it" She said sadly but she put on a brave face, determined not to let the tears flow.
"It doesn't have to be, I don't have to go through with this" Chris said, holding her face in his hands, stroking her cheek.
"Yes you do" Jade said fiercely "Save Wyatt and you save the world you know that Chris. I'll manage here, don't you worry okay? Just, try and not act too suspicious or else the sisters wont trust you. Save your brother Chris, I know you can do it" She said hopefully and Chris nodded rather reluctantly before they shared one last kiss, putting all their emotions into it.
When they broke apart Jade smiled encouragingly and pointed to the spell in the book.
Chris blinked away his tears and nodded before reciting the spell, his voice rather shaky.
He walked forward, pulling Jade along, holding her hand.
The portal was open, its shiny blue light beckoning Chris forward. Chris turned around and kissed Jade's hand affectionally, stroking her fingers.
"I will save him Jay, I promise" he muttered and Jade smiled.
"I know you will Chris" She replied "Be safe" she said as he walked away. Chris looked back around one more time and nodded his head, "You too Jay. Love you", "love you too" She said lovingly and then Chris disappeared and the portal closed.
I saw Phoebe and mum wipe away a few tears and Paige's eyes looked a little red.
Saying goodbye, wondering if that was the last time I saw her was probably the hardest thing I had ever done – I never wanted to do it again.
Jade wiped a few stray tears from her face and pulled a knife from her pocket, walking slowly forward and on alert.
A demon shimmered in behind her but jade stabbed it straight away and it burst into flames. Jade moved forward, prepared to run out the attic door but ten demons shimmered in on front of her, holding fireballs in their hands.
Jade put up her deflective shield and cursed under her breath, looking for another exit. Her eyes landed on the attic window.
"Aw, hell no" I said "that's a three story window" I practically shouted.
Jade ran to the window and jumped through it, breaking the glass as she fell down.
Suddenly we were outside and watched as Jade fell on the grass and rolled over her shoulder, limping to her feet and running away down the streets of san Francisco.
Again thanks for the lovely reviews and please review again. Also next chapter will be the last memory chapter!
