Mistakes (Nash Grier)

Chapter 18

Riley POV****

I knew what I was doing when I told everyone I didn't remember Nash. I just wanted him out of my head and life because he said I was pathetic or I didn't deserve love when I was in that coma. I was just so mad and hurt, but now I'm fucking up again and lying to everyone. There's no way he would forgive me if he found out about this.

I was going back to school now for the first time after the coma. It was Monday and I barley entered the school and it was the first time without Nash. Everyone turned to look at me and smiled, they all cheered for returning and being okay.

"WE MISSED YOU GARDENER!" Bailey yelled and I smiled

"i missed you all too" i said back. I walked down the hall of everyone telling me how they're glad that I'm safe, they're glad that I'm okay.

"Nash isn't worth it" Ashley came up to me and I scrunched my eyebrows together pretending to act confused

"who's Nash?"

"Nash Grier? Your ex!?" she said "listen if you're hurt you don't have to pretend you don't know him"

"she seriously doesn't remember Nash" Cailey came up. She still thinks I don't remember Nash.

"what are you talking about?" Ashley looked at me and Cailey left to right.

"when she woke up from the coma, she had no idea who Nash was, she doesn't even remember what happened between them" Cailey explained for me "the doctor said not to pressure her to remember or it'll delay her memory"

"well that's great then, just remember not to fall for him or anything" Ashley said and I nodded my head

"why is that?" I asked acting like I already didn't know why. She explained everything about Nash being the ladies man and how he is towards relationships. "thanks for the heads up" i said and the bell rung. I went to my first period class alone and when I entered the teacher was there already along with the rest of the class.

"I'm glad you're back Miss Gardener" Mr. Parks said and the class cheered. I looked over at my seat and I saw Nash looking at me but I put a confused look on my face.

"Glad to be back Mr. Parks" i said and I sat down ignoring the fact that Nash was in here.

It must be really awkward or painful for Nash because I'm in most of his classes and all the teachers notify me that they're glad I'm back. Every time I looked at Nash he would have a hurt look on his face and the guilt was coming back. The guilt felt worser than when I was doing the bet.

I was walking to my sixth period class and every step I took made heart beat faster and faster know that Nash sat right next to me, because he was my partner. We were always required to talk to our partners everyday as part as daily assignments we do. I finally got to my class and Nash was sitting there with his hood on. I slowly walked to my desk and sat down next to him hoping he wouldn't speak to me.

"class I am handing out a little work sheet to work with your partner" Mr. Grayson spoke and started to pass around the papers. Great.

We finally got our paper and I clicked my pen once to write my name on the paper. I passed it to Nash and he kept his head down. He started to write his name and I saw a tear fall on the paper.

"w-what's the matter with you?" I bothered to ask. It was really stupid for asking. He stayed quiet and just did the work sheet himself. He stood up to turn in the paper but still kept his head down. "Nash?"

"do you remember me?!" He looked up at me and smiled with tears in his eyes still

"no, I just know your name, you did yell at me at my house and you wrote your name on our paper" i said and he put his head down. He sighed and I put my head down and started play with my fingers.
