Hate To Love (Completed and Editing) by Amber Foster (ebook reader with highlighter txt) 📕

boy is my best friend, Zane." Josh started.
"Do I hate anyone? Do I like anyone?" I asked Josh curious to know if I liked or hated someone before I lost my memory.
"I can't answer that. Only Hannah can. You guys talk about that stuff probably a lot." He made a weird face and I started to laugh at him. Soon after he laughed along and told me to go find Hannah and ask her a few questions. I did. I found her outside sitting on a hill. I walk over to her and sat down
"Isn't it nice?" She asked me.
"Yeah..." I said as I looked up at the pretty sunset.
"I wished it be like this forever. Peaceful....Quiet.....safe..." Hannah said.
"I'm sorry." I blurted out.
"Why are you apologizing for?" She asked.
"For losing my memory and forgetting that you ever exist in my life." I said.
"It's oka-" I cut her off.
"No...It's not. You probably feel like crap because I'm your best friend and I can't even remember you. Even if it's been a couple days we've probably been friends for years. Just a pound to the head and I forget what it's like to be a friend. A 'best' friend." I just snapped and tears began to fall. Hannah was shocked and then she snapped out of it. She hugged me and whispered,"You'll remember."
"I hope." I muttered as I calmed down a bit. After awhile Of silence I spoke.
"Can I ask you questions?" I asked Hannah.
"Yeah. Ask away." She told me.
"I know this is stupid and I hate that I can't remember but How did we meet..." I asked her. She didn't frown nor did she smile it was somewhere in between.
"It all started in School." She smiled.
"School?" I asked but with more of a whiny voice.
"Yeah. School. Anyway I got detention for dumping milk on my 'ex' boy friend for cheating on me. He....ummm...well let's just say he didn't take it well." Hannah said as she tried ot keep her laugh in.
"Tell me." I said in a daring voice.
"After I dumped it on his Fifty dollar shirt he stood up and looked at me. Guess wha the said?"
"I don't feel like guessing. just tell me." I pouted.
"He said,'You selfish brat. We're over. OH I SLEEP WITH Brittany but she didn't pleasure me so I made out with Garry!' Then he turned around and Garry was eye wide and then my ex kissed him hardcore but I knew Garry wasn't gay. He acted gay to keep the girls away and my ex didn't really make out with Garry." Hannah said with a bit of laughter.
"What did Garry do?" I asked.
"He puked all over him. Then beat the crap out of him the next day when his girl friend actual thought he was gay." Hannah said.
"Wow that's nice. Okay, so about us meeting?"
"Oh yeah. Well you, of course got in trouble for T bagging Zane." Hannah said with a grin.
"Really? I T-bagged my brother's best friend?"
"Yeah. That's how we met by detention." She said. I smiled and hugged her.
"Thanks for sticking around." I said.
"Well I do live with you." She pointed out. I pulled away from her.
"Wait...does that me...?" I asked her and she nodded.
"SO it's only You, Josh, Zane, and me, Right?" I asked her.
"Yep." She said popping the P.
"Where's my parents then?" I asked.
"Oh there on tour in Africa but the doctor did call them to tell the news about you."
"Oh.....I wish'd they would just come and see me. Just once." I said as I hold up one finger.
"Well maybe they will. Who knows?" She said.
"Yeah. Who knows?" I whisper. The sun went down and it became dark out.
"Well we better go inside and get some rest." Hannah said as she stood up. I stood up and we walked inside.
--------------------------------------------

I sat down on the couch in dark with a little bit of light. I picked up a picture of Josh, Zane, and me. It was somewhere with a waterfall.
"I wish I could remember everything again." I whispered to myself as I sat the picture frame down. Just as I did the door opened and a black figure stumbled in. I got up and ran over to it. I moved it closer to the light and found out what it is. It was Zane. He was bleeding in several places but not to bad to go to the hospital.
"Zane. What happened?" I ask him. I sat him down on the couch not even caring if he stained it with blood.
"You.....know.....my.....name?" He asked.
"Yeah. Now tell me. What happened?"
"It's nothing." He whispered.
"It's nothing?! How can this be nothing?" I asked with a worried face. He didn't speak for awhile.
"please, Zane. Tell me." I begged him. He sat up and looked at me.
"Fine.....I went back to my house. The thing is my father really doesn't like me to well and my mother is always to high to even notice that her husband is beating on her son. I went to my house to get something but my dad stopped me. He was drunk....and....and." He said with his voice breaking. I hugged him and whispered,"It's okay. You gut Josh and me." I stood up and walked into the downstairs bathroom. I got the first Aid and walked back to him. I looked at him from his head to his feet. The most blood was coming from his rip that showed a nasty cut.
"Take off your shirt." I told him.
"What?" He asked.
"Take off your shirt."
"No." He refused to take his shirt off when he needed help.
"Take your god damn shirt off." I demanded.
"OK." He said as he took his shirt off and dropped on the floor.
I smiled and said,"Thank you." He rolled his eyes.
-------------------------------------------
"Done." I said as he opened his eyes and sat up.
"...Thanks." He said as he rubbed his head.
"Your welcome." I said as I looked at him. He looked at me.
"You know your more garrulous." Zane said.
"What? No..." I said.
"Yeah. You are." He said with a smirk.
"You idiotic dumb***." I said loud but not loud enough to wake up Hannah or Josh.
"Your sweet adorable little mouthy tomboy." He said.
"Oh, Am I?" I said about two inches form his face.
"Yeah." He said.
"You Man whore." I whispered because we was two inches apart why did we need to speak any louder. I looked into his eyes and he did the same with me but he was kinda mad.
"I'm no man whore." He said as his eyes became darker. I looked at his lips and stared at them for a few seconds. His lips formed a smirk and I looked at his eyes again.
"Are you staring at-" He said but I cut him off by crushing my lips to his. After awhile he responded and he licked my bottom lip for entrance. I let him and we made out for awhile until we pulled a part for a breathe. My head was pounded and my heart was racing. Zane looked at me and smiled. I couldn't help but smile back. Then I got a flash and I remembered some memories of Hannah but not Zane. Why? I sighed in frustration and laid down on the couch. Zane laid beside me and wrapped his arms around me. We was facing each other.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"It's so wrong of me to do this. To you. I mean I can't remember you. All I know of you is your name, that your dad is abusive, your mother is a druggy, that your my brother's best friend, and that you live in my house. I can't love someone that feels like a stranger. It feels wrong for one person to love someone who can't even remember them." I spoke the truth. He stood up and walked off. I didn't even get up to go after him. I just laid there and fell asleep.
A bit of a shocker

A WEEK LATER


HANNAH

I woke up and looked at Chris's empty bed. I stood up and walked downstairs. I smelt breakfast in the kitchen. I smiled and ran into the kitchen. I ran to the person in the chef hat and apron. I hugged them and yelled,"I LOVE YOU!" The person snickered and made a slight laugh. I grabbed the chef hat and threw it off of the person. It was Josh.
"Oh your cooking." I whined as I turned around but Josh grabbed my arm and turned me back around.
"We need to talk." he said as he sat down on the stool. I sat down on the stool across from him.
"About what?" I asked.
"About Chris and us." He said.
"Okay....talk." I said.
"Chris is improving but I'm worried." Josh said.
"About what?" I asked.
"Well She's been recovering fast. I'm just-" I cut him off.
"To worried about her finding out the truth about what happened the last passed week." I said.
"I guess." He said.
"I know that Zane and her kissed that night but she was right about what she said."
"I agree."
"anyway...the other thing you need to talk about...ummm...us." I said.
"Oh yeah...." He said.
"Talk before I change my mind and walk away." I said.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Josh asked.
"I don't hate you nor do I like you." I told Josh. I Love you, I thought.
"Oh......so it's between." He said.
"Well not really......" I said.
"Then what is it?" He asked getting off of the stool and leaning on the table beside me.
"Well....ummm...it's..." I started but nothing came out.
"Come on. Spit it out." He said as he leaned in my face about 1 inch close to my face. Yeah that close.
"You ever heard of personal space." I snapped. He back away about four inches away. Leaving five inches a part from each other.
"Chris is leaving for Texas tomorrow. Hopefully she gets her memory back. She already got most of her memory back." Josh says.
"Yeah...talking about Chris. Where is she?" I asked.
"Oh. She said something about taking a walk in the park because she wanted space." Josh said.

CHRIS

"When are you going back to Texas?" Stella asked.
"Tomorrow."
"Oh. What about your friends and family?" She asked as we stopped and sat down on a bench.
"What about them?" I asked.
"Are you serious? Josh is your brother, Hannah is your best friend, and Zane. Zane is in love, Chris. With you. Just you." Stella said.
"Wha...-" I said but she cut me off.
"Who do you have in Texas?" She asked. I didn't speak because I knew where this was going. I knew I had no body in Texas and I knew tomorrow is the day I graduate.
"Exactly. You have no one. Think about it." Stella said as she stood and walked off.
I stood up and walked to Josh's car. Yeah I took his car. I got in and started the engine. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove home. It just bothered me that Zane has been ignoring me this whole week and to top it off he hasn't been around at the house. I turned on the radio to keep my mind off of it and Hit the lights by Selena Gomez came on.


It's the boy you never told 'I like you'
It's the girl you let get away
It's the one you saw that day on the train
But
