Our Past [COMPLETE]

#18 - Season 2

(M2M - The Day You Went Away)

"There Were Tears On Our Faces"

"I'll just eat, when you take me to the garden. I'm tired of being here." Alex said irritably.

His memory was getting worse, sometimes he didn't remember anyone, sometimes he remembered but his memories always pointed to what happened in the past.

His condition was also getting worse, I often accompany Alex on his dark days where his legs could no longer function to walk. I cried all day after without he knew it, I couldn't bear to see him in torment. He seemed to be running out of hope for life, so I tried to be strong beside him and continued to help him.

"Fine." I took a wheelchair and helped him to sit down. I circled the garden then stopped directly facing the beautiful scenery.

"I like sitting here, Laura." His words made me smile, "Thank you." He said again then slowly I feed him.

"I remember, Laura. I remember what happened between us." He said slowly.

"I'm sorry, if after this I'll really forget." His words halted, shed tears and looked at me. His gaze this time was so blank. My heart was hurts seeing him like this.

"It's fine for me, as long as I stay here with you." I said wiping his tears. Alex's eyes were still on mine, but as if his mind was blank. His gaze no longer has any meaning, no longer looks at me with attention, his gaze was no longer what it used to be.

"I love you no matter how you are." I said, making him smile.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't have time to give you what I should have given."

"No matter what happens, you are still the one who I always love. It doesn't matter how you are now, no matter what happened, I don't care about anything as long as you are here with me." I said my voice was hoarse.

"I love you." He said then lightly kissed my lips.

Maybe, it was the last day he said 'I love you'. I'd never know, when will his memories gone or return. I also didn't know when he'd be completely healed, especially his health has decreased after many treatments but nothing worked.

When he lost his memory, he always asked us what his illness was. However, neither of us had the courage to answer. Many times I heard he was in pain.

I just can't take this anymore. Seeing someone we love hurt makes us feel even more hurt when we don't know what to do.

Mia and others have repeatedly convinced me, helped me, also supported me for all this. But, finally I could no longer stand up to myself. I fell deeper into sadness which was only a matter of time to get rid of it.

"Laura?" Dean's voice made me look at his direction. Dean's eyes looked shocked, maybe my eyes were red or swollen from crying every day.

"Oh yeah, Alex this is Dean." I introduced them immediately when Dean saw Alex.

"Dean." He said with a smile to Alex.

"Alex." Alex said in a flat tone.

"Finally, I have a chance to meet you."

Alex smiled, "Laura told you about me, huh?"

Dean laughed, "Yes, she said she fell in love with a man named Alex."

Alex laughed softly, made me blush.

"Tell her, I love her too."

We decided to walk together and Dean told his stories. Alex and Dean got along very well. They seemed to have been friends for a long time.
