"You o-okay, Carli?" Bill's voice spoke up from behind me, "Just enjoying the water Billy." I told him, swimming closer to him.
"You sure?" He asked uncertain of my reply. "Yeah, just didn't want to be getting in the way." I told him sadly. The conf...

°Carlita's POV°
Our waiter brought a bowl full of fortune cookies to the table, it's also the first time I looked into those eyes, that meant so much to me, and for some reason i felt like he stil meant a lot to me, like there was still something there.
"Oh, here we go."
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
Each of us quickly reached out and grabbed a cookie. "You're a lot more quieter than you were back then." Bill points out, looking straight at me, for some reason that had me feeling embarrassed. "Well, I've only ever attended work dinners, this is kind of new to me." I told him honestly.
"Does your husband not take you out?" Bill asks confused, it made me start laughing, confusing him even more. "I'm not married, my brother made me live with him and his family afraid I might end up dying alone and eaten by cats." I say with a small smile.
"You never got married? Why not?" He asks.
"It never crossed my mind much, and it was like something kept stopping me from getting to serious with anyone." I told him honestly, his face seemed to be happy with what I just said.
"I saw your movie." I say trying to direct the conversation away from me. "You did?" He asks shocked.
"Yeah, it was great, just that the...." I say as he interrupted me. "Ending sucked?" Bill asks.
"Yeah, just a little bit." I said honestly smiling at him. "That's alright." He says as we held eye contact, he had a small smile on his face as well, but as he keep on looking at me his expression started changing.
"What?"
"Nothing. This is just weird."
"A little bit, yeah."
"Just all this, all these memories, people that I don't even remember forgetting." Bill says, I knew exactly how he was feeling about all of this, it didn't make any sense. "I mean it's weird, right?" Ben speaks up, making me realize everyone was listening in on our conversation. "Now that we're all here, everything just comes back faster and faster. I mean all of it." Ben adds.
"Yeah. Yeah, you know when Mike called me, I threw up." Richie states, Mike kinda looked a little nervous. "Isn't that weird? Like, I got nervous, I got, like, sick and I threw up." Richie says chuckling. "I feel fine now. I feel very relieved to be here with you guys. Why is everyone looking at me like this?" Richie asks, I really thought I was the only one who felt like that, when I got the call.
"When Mike called me, I crashed my car." Eddie states.
