SAVANNAH’s P.O.V

Ever since that moment we had at Liam’s apartment – the butterflies in my stomach have never slept. The kiss made me crazy enough to even think about taking things further but I snapped out of it because I would rather we take it slow. I need it to work both ways, we both do. I have finally found someone who is capable of love. We haven’t actually said it but I feel that way about him, like I could love him. I believe he could be the one to make me forget about my past, about everything I have tried so hard to erase or more better - forget about my life that reminded me of the shit I went through.

I still haven’t told him about Garrett and it makes me feel anxious even thinking about it. When we do talk about something nearly related to my past, I come so close to shutting down. I have to remind myself from time to time that Liam isn’t Garrett. Not even close. Even in the amount of time that we’ve been together, I feel like we already know each other so well.

I could actually see myself spending the rest of my life with Liam, but I keep that thought to myself because Lord knows, it is too early to scare him off with the idea of ‘together forever’. I don’t even mention it to Jennifer because I don’t want her or Charlie thinking that I’m trying to forget about Elijah. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to though because he was such an unforgettable person. He gave me so much in the few years we were together and for that I am truly grateful for even having the chance to experience the love he shared.

Time and time again, I try to find the courage to look through his old photos but I am so afraid because I know the memories would just overwhelm me in a second. I do think of him every day, even now that I’m with Liam. Elijah will always be my first true love. Always. Because he’s the guy that you can’t ever forget about – you couldn’t, even if you tried.

I’m abruptly awaken by the non stop ringing of my phone and it seems like it’s not going to end any sooner. I hide beneath the thick duvet as I creep my hand out to reach for the annoying but very handy gadget. Who the hell is calling me so early in the morning?! My eyes don’t want to open but my ears are begging them to cease the painful beeping and dinging once and for all.

Eighty-five missed calls, thirty voice mails and forty-five text messages? That’s a new record, but who would even be trying to contact me at this time?! Wait a minute…

What time is it anyway?

I inch my head out from under the bulky and all so comfortable material - even though I don’t want to – and I’m stunned to be welcomed with a warm feeling on my face. My eyes squint at the sensation and open to see the sun shining right through my bedside window. I pull my head back below and peer back at the screen of my phone. 1:45 PM. Goodness. I’ve overslept and the day is nearly over! 

I have missed calls from Jennifer, Gemma, and Alexis – but I count twenty from Charlie, twenty five from Liam and thirty-five from Sammy. There are so many text messages, mostly from Sam alone that my inbox is too full to receive any more incoming anything. I haven’t begun to read the others but I already know what they’re going to say – figuring from the first few messages I read, I think he’s having a nervous breakdown about his wedding and needs my help right away.
