 ***************************

"Do you wanna sleep here tonight?" Blake asked Nellie and as he saw her expression, he quickly added: "I mean... You can sleep in Michael's room. Or on the couch." he laughed. Nellie laughed too and gave him a meanngful look. "What? Anything wrong?" Blake asked. "Nah. I'm just really happy to be with you." "GET A FUCKING ROOM." Charlie yelled and they both laughed. "Shut up!" Blake yelled back. "Anyway, I'm sleepy. You better go to bed too. You know where Michael's room is, right?" Nellie nodded. She was a bit dissappointed, because Blake didn't wanna talk, but she was tired as well. "Night." she said as she grabbed a cup o tea and headed into Michael's bedroom. "Good night, babe." Blake said and slapped himself in his mind. Nellie turned around. She had that smirk on her face. "What did you say?" she laughed. Blake was blushing. "Nothing, I just..." Nellie laughed and closed the door. She turned the light on and lied on the bed. She put a blanked over herself and smelled the pillow. It smelled nice... Like Michael. His room was actually very clean for a guy. Nellie looked around. She saw Michael's school books and she opened one to see his handwriting. She was weird, yeah, but she actually loved to analyse people's handwritings. But that wasn't his school book. It was a book with his songs. Should she? A little look won't hurt, right?

Shanna looked at Michael's face. He looked like an angel. She just ran her fingers through his hair and he started waking up. "My babe..." She whispered and kept stroking his hair. Shanna was staring at his face as he opened his eyes slowly. God, he looked petfect. "Hi." he said with sleepy voice. "Hello." Shanna smiled. "It's 11 P.M. so we won't be able to sleep anymore, since we slept for several hours." she laughed. "It's okay." he aswered as he supported himself on his elbows. He was looking around the room. "You remembered anything?" He shooked his head. "It doesn't matter." she smiled, but there was a feeling of dissappointment inside of her. "Do you want to go to your place?" "Nah, I'm good." he smiled. There was a moment of silence. "Soo..." Shanna started: "what do you wanna do?" She was surprised, when he lyed on bed again and wrapped his arm around her body. "This." he mumbled and Shanna lyed down as well. She missed him. Even if he was there, she still missed him. All the private memories, they shared together. It looked like they are gone now and they are not their little secret anymore. They are just her little secret. Michael pushed his head into her hair and hugged her even stronger. It was so peaceful and nice and Shanna felt safe. She took his hand and placed it on her heart. "I will never let you go." she whispered.

Charlie was lying in bed. What's he going to do? Aylin's not coming back anytime soon and he needed to accept this. "She doesn't love you anymore, dude." the voice inside his head said. That voice bugged him for the past few days and he just wanted in to shut up. Their group will fall apart, once Aylin will come back. And that hurted a lot. He tried to remeber happy days. You know, the kind of days, that makes your heart hurt, becuase they were so perfect and you would do anything to get them back. Charlie stood up and opened a window in his room. Suddenly he heard someone behind him. "Hi, Blake." he said without looking back. "You are not asleep yet?" "I can't sleep." "Oh... Do you wanna go out for a bit?" "No, thanks man. The last thing I want to do is get drunk and cause even more trouble that I already did." "We don't need to get drunk. We can just go to park or something." Blake laughed. "We never really talked about... that Aylin thing and Michael and Shanna and... Nellie... and stuff." Charlie turned around and looked at him, when he mentioned Nellie. "You really like her." "Yeah..." he answered and small smile appeared on his face. "I get it, man. You know, you and Nellie, Michael and Shanna and then there's me. When Aylin returns, IF she will return..." he stopped for a moment. "...I think I couldn't be around her anymore. And it will never be the same again." Blake kept it quiet and hugged Charlie. He didn't know, what to say.

Nellie took Michael's notebook and opened it slowly. She knew, Michael used to play guitar in a band in high school and he loved music, but she didn't really know, he's still writing songs. She saw some notes, which were creating a melody. Nellie put her finger on each of it and tried to mumble the melody. She was bad at it at first, but she repeted it and the melody, that she made with humming was just so beautiful. Nellie's heart started to beat faster. "Wow." she whispered. It was beautiful. And he came up with that? Then she looked at the lyrics. It was one quote that cought her attention:

"Your eyes are like an ocean and I dont know how to swim...

I'm drowning, baby, I'm drowing, it's my head against my heart and there's no way my head can win..."

Nellie kept reading. The song was clearly about Shanna and Michael put his heart and sould into it. She wiped a tear off her face. She could never look at him like before. Never again. Her thought were interrupted with knock on the door. "Nells, Charlie and I are going out for a bit. Do you mind stayling by yourself? Just for a bit." Nellie shook her head. She was still under influence of the song. "Is everything alright?" Blake approached her and held her hand. She looked at him. "Yeah." she smiled and kissed him on a fore head. "Go ahead, but don't do anything stupid." she said with a serious face. "I won't. I promise." Blake smiled to her and left. When the door was closed, she picked up Michael's guitar and started to sing. She could express her emotions with singing the best and it felt good.

"Do you want to go out?" Shanna asked Michael as she was drawing circles on his chest with her finger. "Sure." he answered. Shanna stood up. "What are we waiting for? Let's go." she smiled and took his hand. She locked the door and they were standing outside. They started to walk. Shanna was trying to make small talks to feel, like it was nothing wrong, but Michael just wasn't into it. He barely talked for the last few days and she understood, but she still felt sad. They stopped and sat on the bench. That was the bench, Shanna kissed him for the first time. Michael found this place familiar, but he just couldn't remember, what happened here. It just felt important. "How do you feel?" Shanna asked him quitly. "What do you think?" he looked at her and smiled. "I feel horrible, Shanna. I can't remember anything. My whole existence feels like a dream. I had a life before and I remeber nothing. I can't even remeber names of people that were my best friends." "Hey," she took his hand: "don't worry. Evrything's going to be alright, yeah?" Michael shook his head. He was hearing those words a lot lately. "Michael, I love you. And now I love you even more. You know why? Because I feel more connected to you. More than ever." she smiled. Michael looked down. This place really did feel familiar. He was trying his best to remeber, what happened here, but he just couldn't. It was too much for him. Suddenly, he felt Shanna's lips on his. Shanna placed her hand on the back of his head and he cupped her small face. The kiss also started to feel familiar for Michael and that feeling was becoming bigger and clearer. Michael put his hand on Shanna's hair. Her scent started to feel familiar as well. Michael broke the kiss and stared and Shanna's eyes with his mouth open. They looked like an ocean. A song was playing in his head. A song that he wrote, maybe? He kissed her again. Even with more passion. He felt something move inside his body and his mind. Suddenly he remebered this place. It was their place. And he was trying to remeber even more. What happened that day? Then they went to his apartment... And made love. For the very first time. They were still kissing, when Michael smiled. Everything was coming back again...
