Bless her, she really cares about me. My life was so dark and lonely during high school. | didn't fit in. | hated
myself. My parents hated me. | had no other family. Then Jayden showed up like a shining light of hope just
before | was moved to a foster home.
At first | was sure it was all a prank and he was going to just laugh atwith his friends. But Jayden was
different. He didn't care what anyone else thought about him being my friend.
| guess with someone like Jayden and his family no one was brave enough to say anything to him.
"Without his unconditional love and support I'd have probably done something awful," I tell her.
"Don't say that. You wouldn't. You are much stronger than you think. You got those scholarships and you got your
degrees. Jayden didn't do the work for you."
"But maybe I'd never have gone to college let alone graduated university without his support. He never gave up

forgotten about. But it's pointless now. "Just promise me, you'll use that determination to also build a life for
yourself. You are worth it."

few days. I'll start fresh."

| think he was sweet onfirst up but | only had eyes for Jayden and Lance respected his friend enough to let it
go. Plus Lance isn't the type to settle down, lord knows Lisa had tried with him.
Now we seem caught up in sweird zone where Lance wants to be on Jayden's side but then he still wants to
be friends with me. | don't think he can see how to have both without Jayden and | being together again. But he
also cannot get through to Jayden. Whatever the proof is that Jayden has, must be super convincing.
| let the call go because | don't think | can talk crap about my situation with Lance right now. My phone
insistently buzzes again, and again. I'll just get this over with, | guess. "Lance, hi."
"Hey there. I'm throwing a surprise party for Lisa at my house. Jayden will be there. You should come. It'll be like
old times. Might help activate his memory."
"No thanks." I've spent almost a year trying to activate his memory. Nothing has worked. Not even a night of
passion. That just made Jayden even more hostile towards me.
"Really? | think you should. | mean, it's been ages since us four hung out like that. Not since Vegas, and um, well,
the accident."
"Nothing is the snow, Lance. But | do thank you for the support."
"I think we should at least try and help him remember how happy you guys were."
