A Love Lost

Chapter 8

Hallie and Max had just woke up the next morning.

"Morning beautiful." Max said.

"Good morning."

"I have a half an hour before I have to catch my plane." He rolled her over, got on top of her and got a condom out of his jeans pocket. "Want to?"

"Yeah." Ten seconds later he slipped inside her. "I love you so much baby." He started to move.

"I love you too, ohhhh." She moaned. They kissed

Twenty minutes later Hallie walked Max to the door.

"Once your divorce is final, I want to plan a weekend getaway." Max said. "Start looking at places to go." "We can go wherever you want."

"Ok." They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too." "Bye."

"Bye." He left.

After Hallie got out of the shower she checked her phone and saw she had a voicemail from Sam. She listened to it.

"Hey." He said on the voicemail. "I remembered something today. "I'll tell you what it was when we're both home tomorrow." "Goodnight, I miss you."

Hallie didn't understand why but for the first time, she felt guilty for sleeping with Max.

Sam was on a plane back to Atlanta. He was going through his phone. He found a locked folder. He couldn't remember the password. On a hunch he entered his birthday and it unlocked. It was pictures of Hallie and Hallie and Sam when they were still together.

Sam made it home before Hallie. She was coming home in a few hours.

Sam was in the bedroom closet looking for a sweatshirt. A brown teddy bear fell off the top shelf. Another memory came back to Sam.

Flashback

Hallie was in her second month of pregnancy. Hallie and Sam were both tired and relaxing in bed together. It was night time.

"I almost forgot." Sam said getting up. "I picked something up for the baby today." He went over to his back and took out the teddy bear.

"That is so cute." Hallie said.

Sam laid down next to her stomach. "What do you think huh?" "Do you like it?" He kissed her stomach. "Daddy loves you."

End Of Flashback

A half hour later Sam was in the kitchen putting away the dishes. A plate slipped out of his hand and shattered. That triggered another memory.

Flashback

It had been a month since Hallie and Sam had lost the baby. They were both depressed and sad. Sam was in the kitchen. Hallie came into the kitchen.

"What do you think the baby would've been?" She asked.

"I don't want to talk about this."

"I think it would've been a girl."

"Hallie, shut the fuck up!" He yelled as loud as he could.

"Go to hell!" She smacked him in the mouth as hard as she could and left the room crying.

Sam took a plate from the counter andsmashed it on the ground.

End Of Flashback

Sam was ashamed of himself for how he'd acted.

Two hours later Hallie walked through the door.

"I'm home." She said.

"Hi." He said from the couch. She sat down next to him.

"What did you remember?"

"I remembered when you told me you were pregnant and when I bought the baby the teddy bear." He decided to leave out the third memory.

"Good." "Your memory will be back in no time."

"Did you find a house?"

"Yeah." "It's nice."

"Great." He said.

She could tell he was sad. "Once your memory comes back this won't hurt anymore."

"What if I don't want my memory back?" "What if I want you back?" He held her hand.

She sat there for a few seconds before getting up. "I should go unpack." She got her suitcase and went upstairs. Sam acting this way was really confusing her.
