Forever

Knowing you

Sole's pov:

Two days had passed from when my Jesse had gone home with Maxi. I really loved him. I was with Mario in the meantime, he also told me that everything was going to be fine.
"Mario do you really think he is ever going to regain his memory?"
"Darling these things take time. Let's give him time to adjust to Maxi and to his curiosity. But he'll be fine. Promised."
My anxiety attacks had returned, stronger than ever. So I asked Mario to wear the uniform and stay by my side while I was meditating. As it was the only thing that really helped. You know, its shade of blue calmed me down.
Mario managed to calm me, and after two hours we could get out. It was always good to take in some sunshine.
I had regularly taken my meds, when Mario told me that in the evening we would be going to meet Jesse and Maxi who for the moment were staying together. Another clever suggestion from our Yak. Matt Dee and some others were also coming along. But not more than 7, added Yak, in order not to overwhelm him.

Jesse's pov:
Maxi was sitting next to me on the sofa, after we had breakfast, when I asked him about my past. "Uhm... You had problems with law."
"What do you mean, in what sense?"
"You smuggled some coke trough Sydney's airport, with the bra boys. The gang you are a part of. Most of them are extraordinary, though. And you got caught. Also the police came into the home you share with your parents and searched it for traces of other drugs. But they found nothing. You were declared too young to understand what you did as you were only 18, so you were granted bail and given another opportunity. Your cousin got in touch with one of our lifeguards, Dean (we call him Deano) and he essentially got you the job. That was 3 years ago. I was already working for the lifeguards. And I don't know how it happened, but between me and you it just clicked. From that moment on, no problems with law. You are also a very good lifeguard."
"Where do we work? In a pool?"
"No, we work for Apola. The Australian professional ocean lifeguard association. We work in the open ocean, guarding three beaches: Bronte, Tamarama, and the most famous, Bondi."
"Why famous, Maxi?"
"Well, famous because we are world known lifeguards as a docureality called Bondi Rescue is filmed down at the beach every summer. And broadcast worldwide. Actually, both of us are the cutest and most beloved "couple" in the team. We are actually 35 lifeguards. Most of us star in the documentary. It spreads a message of love, positivity, resilience, tolerance and surf safety around the world. Preventing many from drowning . Oh, and first aid."
"No discrimination?"
"No discrimination. And ... uh..."
"What Maxi?"
"I don't know how you will take it but ... I consider you my brother. And you used to consider me your brother on the other hand. Our beloved father Hoppo calls us "Bert and Ernie" like the Muppets. But you have forgotten all."
He started crying in desperation. I held his hand. "I'm sorry Maxi. Really ..." and bitter tears started falling from my eyes as a consequence.
I got him some water to relax and unwind. And it worked, until he got out a DVD of this Bondi Rescue thing. After the 5th or 6th episode he saw himself together with me, and his eyes got watery again.
When ...
