The boarding announcement blared, and I found myself staring at a video on my phone, completely lost in thought.
My connection with Jack was… special.
You could say it was deep, yet a car crash and his amnesia had all but wiped it out.
Shallow? And yet, we were childhood sweethearts, practically inseparable, and we even got married.
I let out a heavy sigh and tossed my phone into the nearest trash can.
Behind me, the phone kept ringing, but I just walked straight for the gate.
In the hospital, Jack was in absolute agony, screaming my name over and over.
"Grandma, please, can you help me find Elena?"
Jack's car crash happened because his mind was elsewhere; ever since leaving the hospital, the image of my cold expression had been playing on a loop in his head.
He slammed on the brakes, hard, and collided with a truck.
The instant the airbag deployed, an excruciating pain ripped through his head, like it was being torn apart.
