Nick's POV
School had just ended and I walked home with my brothers like I do everyday. Once we got to our house, I noticed a family who moved a couple houses down were here for dinner. My brothers and I greeted them and they told me that their daughter was in the backyard. My two brothers shoved each other left and right to get out the door, while I simply walked out. A small blonde sat on our tire swing while I made my way to her.
"I've seen you around before at school, but you're always alone, why?" I spoke up and she slightly jumped.
"Oh um, well I get made fun of a lot..for the way I talk." She looked at me with an expression like I was going to as well.
"I like the way you talk," I told her starting to push the tire. She held on tightly and the smile upon her face gave out a warm feeling of comfort. Joe and Kevin finally made their way to us and introduced themselves. "Oh, I'm Nick by the way..Shay."
"It's Shannon," she corrected me.
"I like Shay better," I said smiling grabbing the rope to the tire to stop it. It got quiet for a few seconds while we looked at each other.
"This is the longest anyone has ever talked to me.."
"Well they're missing out on someone special.."
The white on the walls started to make my sleepless eyes hurt as I held the hand of my entire life. From time to time I'll move the hair from her face and just stare. I ignored the stitches and the bruises and knew that under all that is the woman I love. My eyes wondered to the right where Joe fell asleep on a small couch. The nurse offered him a room to sleep in, but refused to leave Shay. I took my eyes back on her and let my head rest on her arm.
"Please wake up..I honestly can't live without you..you have to wake up, we were just getting started." Tears rolled down my face and onto her skin. I felt a hand from behind but I didn't move.
"Nick.."
"No Joe, I'm not leaving, I don't care if I never eat or sleep again."
"I was actually going to ask when you last checked."
"I'll do it in a minute, I'm fine." I could tell he was holding his breath as he bent down on his knees in front of my chair.
"No you're not fine, because I'm not fine, so there's no way that you are. You really need to take a day and rest up at home, you've been here for over two weeks. I'll be here with her and I'll call if anything happens." I still didn't want to leave, but was too weak to argue with Joe.
"Okay," I told him not moving from my seat. He stood up and went to help me up, but I didn't move.
"Nick come on, you have to get up." I still didn't move until he jerked me up. I turned my head to glance at her as we headed out the door. "A cab is waiting outside," Joe said pulling me in for a hug. I squeezed tighter and didn't want to let go, just like back in the room. "I love you."
"I love you too," was the last thing I said before getting in the cab.
When I stepped in her scent surrounded me and made me feel anxious, because I shouldn't be here, but with her. I sat my things on the island and took a seat on one of our couches. I closed my eyes and lifted my head up. Can this all be over? Why is it so hard for us to be together? I seriously don't get it, when that's all I want, to make sense. After taking another deep breath, my eyes fumed opened and I began to scream. I stood up and threw the lamp closest to me, along with pillows and whatever I could get my hands on. My body forced itself to the piano, with tears in my eyes and pain in my voice.
"I miss you so much
Your light, your smile, your way
And everything about us
Though you're gone
You'll still here
In my heart
In my tears
Yeah you sure left your mark
We were just getting started
It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough
Together
But it was long enough
Yeah it was long enough
To last forever
Sometimes I get so mad
I scream and swear at this
Cause this isn't how we planned it
So I'll sit here, in a cold room
Praying, waiting on you
To run back through that door
To the way it was before you left
It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough
Together
But it was long enough
It was long enough
To last, to last, forever"
Once my body hit the couch, I fell asleep. A couple hours later my phone went off.
"Nick, you might want to get down, she's awa-" I was out the door before he could even finish.
As I rushed myself in, Joe stopped me half way. "But there's something I have to tell you, because of her head injury she lost her memory. She doesn't remember me, Nick she doesn't remember you." The air around me turned cold. She doesn't remember me? Does that mean she doesn't remember falling in love with me?
Shay's POV
The doctors had told me that I had two visitors after everything got checked out and I was sable enough. He told me the visitors are my husband and his brother. I nodded my head and the two men walked in while he walked out. They were both extremely good looking. How did I manage getting together with one of them? The dark haired one placed his hand out and I shook it.
"I'm Joe," I smiled at him then turned to the one with his hair buzzed off.
"I'm Nick," he said taking a seat next to me. It felt so weird being in the room with them, since I know nothing about them, yet they know everything about me. As Nick smiled at me, I couldn't help but smile back. There's something about him, something really beautiful, but I can't wrap my mind around what it is.
"It's really nice to meet you two," I said noticing the wedding ring on Nick's finger. "May I please just speak to Nick?" I asked looking up at Joe. He nodded his head and left the room. As I stared into Nick's eyes, he leaned down to give me a kiss but I stopped him. "Listen, I know I'm your wife and we've probably been married for a long time, but I'm just now meeting you. I mean, I know nothing about you." He held my hand as he sucked his bottom lip in. He looked like he was trying not to cry, and I honestly felt bad. It must be so hard being in love with someone who doesn't even remember we ever were.
"There's so many things I want to tell you and apologize for, but I do want you to know, that I love you more than anything. You are literally my entire world and I love you." He kissed my hand as I became very anxious. How do I tell him, whom I once loved, that I'm not anymore? How could I be in love, if I don't remember?
