I-I don't want to remember...

"I love you so much Ray!"

"I love you more Norman." He pinched my nose. I hugged him and drove home. I was restless in bed, so excited for tomorrow. I kept tossing and turning and I couldn't sleep. For once, I was happy. Everything was amazing. My life was perfect!

I am not going to remember...

I woke up, got ready for the day, and immediately went to the coffee shop. I grabbed Norman's favorite cup of coffee and drove all the way to his studio apartment. I was sitting on pins and needles when I got there. I went inside, found his room, and walked in. He gave me a spare key since we were so close to getting married. We were 20, after all. 

I couldn't believe what I saw...

"Ray- wait!"

"Ugh Norman why are you so worried about him? He's so...ugh!" I dropped the coffee and slowly backed away. Then I started running as fast as I could, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Don't look back..." I kept telling myself. I drove home as quick as possible. I couldn't believe what he did......h-he was cheating on me...

I cried into my pillow, full of anger and sadness. I ripped every photo I had of us together, I deleted every picture I had in my phone, I took scissors and started cutting up the hoodie he lent me. Fucking polyester...

My eyes stung, my lungs hurt. I was so gullible...I actually thought we had a chance.. I CANT BELIEVE THAT CHEATER!! I started crying again. All I can remember were green eyes...poisonous green eyes consuming my thoughts...I looked next to me, only picturing Norman's face and all the memories we had in this bed..No. I'm not going to waste time on something long forgotten. I told myself. I sat up and forced myself to find a job. A job that isn't far away. A job that could mean I was independent. I didn't need a boyfriend to support me. I found a job and applied to it. I started cleaning my apartment. I didn't have anymore tears. All that was left was anger.

"Ray were out of milk! Can you go to the store?" Anna asked from the kitchen. I nodded and took some cash out of the register and grabbed my coat. I hung my apron and smiled when I saw her walk out from the back and take my place. I ran to the store, which was only a couple of blocks away. I bumped into a stiff with white suit, but I didn't pay attention to him. I could feel his eyes, but I kept running.

"Got...it!" I panted out when I got back to the coffee shop. Anna smiled and took it to the back. I continued taking orders and when it was time to close, I hung up my apron again. I took my coat and grabbed the keys. Anna walked out with her coat. I kissed her nose and locked up. We walked out my car, hand in hand. We drove to my apartment. I got out and opened her door. I bowed playfully, and she punched my arm. I hoisted her into my arms bridal style, and took her inside. I set her on the bed and threw on my pajamas. I hugged her when she had her pajamas on too. We sat in our shared bed and watched a show. Minerva hopped on the bed and sat in between us. I pet the cat and turned my attention to Anna. 

"Can I braid your hair again? You look beautiful with braids!" 

"I was going to massage your head again, but sure, why not?" She answered. I began brushing her hair and braided it into a thick braid. She leaned into my lap, so now she faced me. I kissed her nose again and she sat up quickly. 

"Ray someone's calling you.." she groaned out. I grabbed my phone and saw a familiar number, but it wasn't in my contacts. I answered, letting out a shaky "hello". 

"Ray...it's been so lo—" I hang up as soon as I heard that voice. I was so shocked, and Anna noticed. She brought me back to bed and leaned on my shoulder. 

"Who was that?"

"Love long forgotten." I said started playing with my fingers. I did that when I was nervous. She placed her delicate hand on my cheek and sat up. She looked at me with her beautiful eyes.

"Was it you know who?" She questioned.

"Mhm..." I replied. I held her hand and leaned into it. Minerva sat in my lap, so I began to pet him. That calmed me down. Anna snuggled under my arm, so now my arm was over her shoulder. I rested my head onto hers, as she began to fall asleep. I tucked her in and turned out the lights. I cuddled her and fell asleep.

"I'mb not sick.." I said with a sneeze. Anna took my temperature.

"Tell that to the thermometer." She said, smiling. I frowned and glared at her. She bent over and tucked me beneath multiple layers of blankets. I pouted but fell asleep at the same time. When I woke up, I begged to go to work. 

"Please! I'll only take orders!" She thought about this.

"Fine. But you have to listen to my instructions!" I got up and put on my work clothes and coat. We both left to the coffee shop. I hung my coat and put on my apron. I flipped the sign to open and set out new samples. I restocked the display case and wrote the special on the special's board. I heard a ding and looked up to see Anna playfully entering. She came up to the counter.

"Is there..a very hot guy, preferably 5'11, black hair, pinned back bangs, and wearing a name tag that says 'Ray'?" She said in a falsetto voice. I laughed and gave her her apron. I sneezed again. I heard a ding and looked up to see that stiff. He was wearing a sharp white suit. He looked up from his phone, his white hair shining.

"Hello sir! Welcome to 'The Myth'! What can I get you?" He looked at me and smiled.

"I would like to get a latte, extra cream, no sugar. A croissant, as well." I did think it was weird this guy had the same order as him.

"Your name?"

"Norman."

I froze and dropped the empty cup.
