"What time is it?" I ask looking over to Noah. A part of me remembers him slightly. To be honest I don't know why I didn't love him before the accident. He is so kind and caring and he is perfect.
"Uhh, 9:30am." He says looking down then back at me. I sit up and rub my eyes. I brush my hair out of my face. I felt a hand on my back. I turn to face Noah and smile.
"Want to go to Starbucks? I know, classic white girl." His voice was more in a mocking way. His hands made a little wave in the air.
Then it clicked. I must of looked shocked or something because Noah was concerned.
"What is it?" He says sitting up quickly.
I couldn't get the words out.
He shook me then asked again.
"I remember y-you." I choke out. His face turned so happy.
"I remember everything now. What I like, who I like, why I'm sad. I remember it all." I felt a smile come across my face. I threw my arms around him. I heard Noah crying. I pull away and look at him. I wipe his tears and smile.
"What's wrong?" I ask while tilting my head.
"I'm, I'm just so happy." He smiles widely. It was adorable.
"It's okay,"I say while leaning forward so our foreheads were touching. It was silent for a while. Noah's hand cupped my cheek. His hands were so soft.
"I've missed you so much." He whispers while leaning back. I stared into his eyes. His perfect ocean blue eyes. I leaned forward and without control I kissed him. He kissed back. It was only short but it felt right. I needed him. I wanted him.
"I'm s-sorry." I whisper getting off the bed and standing up. He smiles and shook his head. He looked back at me.
"Starbucks?" I nod and walk over to my bag. I got clothes out and went to the bathroom. As I closed the door I look at myself in the mirror. I could hardly recognise who I was. I remember everyone else except for myself. I stop starring and change. I did some eyeliner and fixed my hair. When I walked out I saw Noah waiting at the door. He was dressed so casually but it was perfect. I don't know why I'm having these thoughts. He is my best friend. You're not suppose to fall in love with your best friend.
"Ready?" He asks. I walk over to him and nod.
He led the way to his car. The first thing I think of when I see the road was the day I left his house. The day of that damn accident.
"You okay?" Noah ask putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah." I say turning back to him and give him a smile.
He nods then gets in the car. I follow after him.
The ride was silent. It wasn't awkward though.
The whole way there all I thought about was the kiss. I was so stupid to do that.
I was lost in thought that I didn't realise we were already there. I got out and rushed inside since it was snowing.
"What do you want?" Noah ask turning to me. I shrug my shoulders.
"What ever you get." I say while walking away to get a table for us.
While Noah is ordering I take my phone out. I see that I got at text from Tay.
'I miss you Jay. I miss you so damn much.' I sigh and out my phone away. Right now I don't want to deal with that. I know it's nothing bad but I don't want to handle that. I see Noah walking back with two cups in his hands. As he sat down he passed me one. I take a sip. Instantly warming me up. I place the cup down on the table and look at Noah.
"So, how's Evie?" I asked remembering her. Now I feel even worse about the kiss because he has a girlfriend.
"Were aren't together anymore. Remember?" He says tilting his head in confusion.
"When did you break up?" I say with shock. I don't remember them ever breaking up. They were perfect for each other unlike Noah and I which makes me sad. Wait, I can't be. He is just my best friend.
"One day before your accident." His face turned so sad.
I nod my head and take another sip of my drink.
I look down feeling the awkwardness grow slightly.
"Never thought I'd see you guys again one day." A familiar voice says. I look up to see my old friend. Faith. She changed so much. She has beautiful brown eyes and long brown hair. She also had a nose stud and a tattoo on her wrist. It was a rose. Faith use to hate make up but she was wearing some. She put it all on so well. She was absolutely gorgeous.
"Hey." I say smiling at her. Noah just sat on silence not even looking up. Faith playfully punched his shoulder. "Aye, Noah. I'm right here." She says trying to catch his attention. He still ignores her.
"Well anyways, it was nice seeing you. Catch up soon, yeah?" She nudges my shoulder and passes me a piece of paper with her number in it.
I nod and smile. As she walked to the door my attention drew to Noah.
"Why were you so rude?" I ask with anger in my voice. He looked up at me.
"You reminded me of Evie! I get sad when I think of her." He yells back but quietly.
"I forgot you two weren't together." I say trying to defend myself.
"Well, you should remember." Annoyance was in his voice.
I lean back in the chair trying to keep myself from getting more angry.
"Do you think I chose to forget?" I say slightly slamming my hand on the table. I'm so glad there is hardly anyone in here this morning.
"If you weren't on the road in the first place you wouldn't of forgotten. Dammit AJ, why do you have to do this to me? Your so stupid for falling on the road." My jaw drops at the choice of words he said. He is practically blaming me for getting hit. I didn't know I was on the road.
I get up and walk out the door. I hear Noah calling my name but I'm too angry to listening to him. It's cold and snowing outside but I need to get home.
"AJ!" Noah screams pulling me to face him.
"What?!" I yell back at him. By this time I was crying.
"I'm sorry." He says between a breaths.
"No, no. No you can't do that." I say putting my hands on my head then dropping them fast.
"Do what?" He asks stepping back slightly.
"You can't hurt me and blame me for something that I didn't do on purpose that is serious then come and say sorry like nothing ever happened." I yell while crying even more.
"AJ, but I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say that." He says trying to comfort me. I throw his arms of me.
"Don't ever talk to me again." I murmur out before turning away and running to home.
"AJ. Please don't do this." Noah yells. I ignore him and run ever faster.
My heart is breaking. This morning we kissed but now, I don't know what we are.
