Ashley's point of view

"Come on! We gotta find her!" I yelled at no one in particularly. But they spring into action. "Split up! I'll take the woods!" Then they bolted into different directions. I'm running with adrenaline running through me. "Joey!" I call out. Nothing. "Joey!" Nothing. Then I use her nickname I gave her while we were on tour. "OUTLAW!!" Still no answer. Then I hear a faint sound of crying. It's her! I follow her tears till I see her curled in a ball on the ground in nothing but shorts and a tank. "Outlaw! Why did you run off like that?" I asked. She looked at the ground. I knelt down beside her to see eye liner and mascara running down her cheeks and she was shaking. I take off my leather jacket and wrap it around her. "Outlaw.. I'm so sorry.. We've looked everywhere for you. Please don't do that again." She nodded barely keeping her head up. How long had she been out here? I pick her up and start carrying her back to the house and see the guys running in my direction but stop in their tracks when they see Joey. Jinxx continues walking now, with a couple of blankets. "Take her." I tell him and he nods. He wraps her in the blankets and goes into the house. "Why'd she run off?" Sammi asked.

"Because your dumbass husband told her I cheated on her. Once."

"He's not a dumbass. She deserved to know. All those years of you being a party boy and you can't even settle down like a real man!" I wanted to slap her across the face but I know Jinxx would rip my balls off if I did. So I fought it.

"Bitch." And I walked off. She called me some names and I flipped her off with both hands to show my hate for her. She always takes her husbands side over anyone else's. Even if he's wrong. I meet Jinxx in the living room with my Little Outlaw on the couch wrapped up from the neck down in blankets and my leather jacket on top. "Better go check on your bitch. I got it from here." He rose.

"What'd you call her? She has a name. Use it."

"Think I'm scared? Just go. I got it." Then he walked out. I loosen the blankets around her so she won't get over heated. And she wakes right up. "Dad?" She says. She called me dad.. She's my girlfriend not her father anymore.

"Yes Outlaw. I'm here."

"Outlaw? What's that?" She's joking again right? Outlaw is the nickname I gave her. She gave me Cowboy. Does she remember?

"Joey.. You're my girlfriend. My sexy Little Outlaw. Remember?"

"We're dating? Since when?" Oh my fucking god. She doesn't remember!

"Joey, I'm not your father anymore. I'm your boyfriend. For almost a year now. Don't you remember?"

"Dating?" She repeats. Still confused. I hear them coming in.

"Yes Outlaw." I gently take her hand into mine. She looks at me with questionably blue eyes.

"Outlaw?"

"Yes. And I'm your Cowboy. Remember? Please remember." Then I saw something in her eyes. Resignation. She knows Cowboy! The nickname she gave me. There's a clamp on my shoulder. I look up to see Jake. "Let her rest. She's tired, and cold. Leave her alone for the rest of the day." Then CC chimes in. "We're going to the mall. Wanna come?" I look back At my Outlaw. "No.. I'm just gonna stay here. Keep her company." They mutter "Okay" and "Fine".

"Who where those men?" She didn't reconize them. Dammit! I thought I had her. I gotta get her memory back.

"Please Outlaw. Why are you torturing me like this? You gotta remember Jake."

"Torture? I'm not torturing you. I don't even know you." Then she turns her head. Doesn't know me?! She doesn't remember me?!

"Joey! Its me!! Ashley Purdy!! How could you not remember me?!" I'm screaming at her now. She squeezes her eyes shut and my hand. "I'm sorry, Joesters. Forgive me?" She opens them again and smiles that beautiful smile of hers. "Of course, Mr. Purdy. I'm sorry but I don't know. Let alone dating you." She says. That's it. I get up, and run my hands through my in frustation.
