The Day After

Jade's POV

I walked in my house and placed the fish bowl on my table in the entrance way hall. I took my wand out and filled the fish bowl with water before placing the fish Oliver and I won at the carnival in it.

I chuckled thinking about the names we decided on. "Welcome home, Moglie and Bagera." I smiled looking at the fish.

I shake my head in amusement and walk upstairs, after locking my doors, to my bedroom. I place the teddy bear and unicorn that Oliver won me, on my bed and smiled before going and taking a shower.

I come back out, smiling when I look at the bear and unicorn. I had had so much fun tonight. But I was exhausted. It has been a while since I had been out on a date like that. But it was amazing. I can't believe that a guy like Oliver could be set up on a blind date and I was lucky enough to be set up with him.

I walked over and climbed in bed after pulling on one of my baggy tshirts. I fell asleep quickly, hugging the teddy bear to me and dreaming of Oliver and my date.

Derek's POV

I woke up looking for Jade. but she was nowhere to be foudn in my house. I picked up my cell and called her getting her voicemail. "Damnit." I exclaimed to the empty room.

I walked downstairs and found Mila cooking breakfast. "That smells good. But where is your sister?"

"Did she never come home last night?" She asked lookign worried. Jade must not have contacted her either. I was beginning to worry that her date never brought her home and something bad had happened to her. I looked to Mila. "Has she always been this way?"

Mila smiled. "Yes she has. She probably went back to her actual house. She's been talking about moving back there anyway." She shrugged. I raised my eyebrow. "She WHAT? She hasn't mentioned anything to me about it."

Mila bit her lower lip. "Oh..." She knew she had fucked up and told something she shouldn't have. I raised my brow at her. "We need to go see if she's there." She shook her head.

"What do you mean no?" I crossed my arms looking at her. "Give her a chance to wake up first. Trust me." She told me, not looking at me. "Fine! After we eat we're going over there and if you don't go with me I'm going alone.”

She rolled her eyes at me. What the fuck was with her? “What’s your problem today, Mila?”

Mila’s POV

“My problem is you’re smothering my sister. That’s why she is over there. That’s why she’s been keeping to herself. You’re not helping anymore, you’re making it harder for her to get her memory back and you can’t even see that you selfish bastard.” I said in one breath. He was making me crazy I swear. I wanted to slap him and I’m truly not really a violent person. UGH!

“Damn, Mila.” He said looking offended. I didn’t give a shit. “Get that shit looking grin off your face, Derek. SHE. DOESN’T. NEED. YOU. ANYMORE.!!!” I told him slowly. “Don’t you get that?”

“But she does. She just doesn’t know it yet.” My eyes grew wide with shock. “Are you trying to get all possessive and controlling on her?” I asked affronted by his words.

“Uh…no.” He turned on his heel and stalked from the room.

I couldn’t believe him. He was being extremely childish. Wait….oh fuck. He’s becoming all protective and fatherly to her. Shit. I just wonder if he’s a werewolf.

I heard the front door slam a few minutes later, then tires squealing as he sped down the road toward Jade’s house.

Jade’s POV

I was sitting in the living room thinking about Oliver and wondering if I should call him yet or wait on him to call me when my thoughts were rudely interrupted by a knock at my door. I sighed and stood up going to the door and opening it and to my utter horror there stood Derek. I rolled my eyes and walked through the house. “Hi, Derek.”

He followed his arms crossed. “Hi, Jade. Why didn’t you come home last night?”

I looked at him confused. “I did come home. To MY home.”

“You were suppose to come back to my house. Why didn’t you call?” Geez, what the hell was with him? “YOU are NOT my father. I don’t NEED to call and check in with you.” I huffed. He was truly starting to get to me. I’m not sure how much longer I could keep this charade of liking him and needing his help up.

“I may NOT be your father but if you are staying at my house then I would like you to let me know you aren’t coming back.” He crossed his arms.

“You know what. I was going to call you this morning and let you know I was moving back in here but you can go to hell, Derek Talon. GET OUT!” I pointed to the door panting with anger. He didn’t even have the decency to ask how my date went. “NOW!!” I yelled at him still pointing at the door. “And don’t bother coming back.” I flicked my wand and the door opened, I flicked it again and all my stuff from Derek’s house appeared in my living room. “I have no reason to ever go back there again, I expect you to do the same here. Never come back you selfish pig.” I swished my wand once more and he was forcefully removed from my home. I walked over and slammed the door and locked it magically then returned to the living room sitting on the couch , picking up the shoe box marked Evan on it and starting to go through it. Then put the shit away because a bunch of bad memories of what Evan had done started coming back and I just wasn't up for that. I grabbed the teddy bear and unicorn that Oliver had gave me last night and started crying wishing I had the guts to call him right now. I needed someone to talk to but I definitely didn't want to talk to Derek and I couldn't talk to Mila, so I have no one.
