The he was. Standing there. Looking straight at me and smiling, showing off those sprakling white teeth and deep dimples. I stared deeply into his eyes and when our vision came into contact with eachother, he blushed a rosy red and I couldnt help but giggle. I walked towards him, my white dress glided against the floor as I moved and my bouqet in my hands were becoming wet with sweat. My father's arm around mine kept me in reality. Because I was scared and nervous. I'm giving up my whole life to be with this man. The man that I love.........but I cant place a name to the face and that brought me great distress and anger. Why cant I remember? I love him. I must remember him. My thoughts floated into my head until I reached the altar, facing my fiance who smiled at me like I was the only woman in the room. Like I was an angel that god blessed him to have and I stared at him with confusion and he looked nervous and greatly upset and that broke my heart in two because I know this man. My heart does. But my mind doesnt and without my memory how can I love a man which of whom I cant even the name of? I felt my eyes tear up but I refused to cry. Thats for the weak and I'm stronger than that. 

"Do you, Anna Beth Mcguire, take this man to be your husband?" the pastor asked me with a smile of admiration on the day of my wedding. I looked at him and I looked towards the crowd where I saw my father, mother, Dustin, Skylar and even Duke staring at me like 'what are you doing? Say I do!' But I couldnt bring myself to say those two words. So I looked at my love and I a saw tear slide down his tan cheek and at that moment I was willing to say and do anything to make this pain between us vanish. But the only words I said were, 

"Who are you?" and everyone went quiet and my fiance ran from me in heart break and I stood there and watched my love go. Hopefully he comes back, and makes me remember again. Because I know he can. 

I wrote in my morning journal in first period like I do every day at school. The topic was dreams. We had to write about the one dream that we wish could come true but at the same time dont. I want it to come true becuase its been reaccuring ever since I was 8 years old, after my accident. I'm 18 now. Ten years later. So I consider this a sign. I dont want it to come true because its too painful to think about. Imagine on your wedding day, your fiancé forgets all memory of you and dares to ask the question: ‘who are you?’ and you have to stand there and watch them run away, crying. Heartbreaking is all that is.

“Hey are you down for movie and pj night tonight?” I turned my head to see my blonde haired, blued eyed best friend Skylar looking at me with a small smile. I returned it. Its been 10 years after the accident and every year, we go back and sleep in the tree house. Of course I was scared and paranoid up the ass but no storm comes when we go and every time we go, my left cheek warms up and my stomach gets butterflies and I hear boy like whispers telling me they love me. I loved that feeling ever since and love going there more than I did when I was a little girl. “Of course. Its  been ten years. Can you believe it?” I whispered to her.

She shook her head in disbelief and he beachy girl waves swayed as she did and she laughed to herself. “I feel like I need to remember something. Like the main, important reason why we go besides our accident. Something else happened that night. Something happened to lead us both to that tree house in the pouring rain. I just cant remember and its so frustrating” Skylar said angrily and I had to place a hand on her’s to calm her down. “Its okay. I feel the same way but one day it’ll come to us. I know it will” I reassured her and she frowned but nodded. At that moment the bell rang and Skylar and I got up, put our journals away, and walked to the main doors of the school cause the school day was over. Now instead of having school regularly, we have it year round, which means in the summer we still have school.

Everyone blames me and Sky cause the school didn’t want us to forget anything so they managed to change the school’s year around. Great. We both walked to our cars that were right next to each other and I stared at her with a smirk as she opened her door to the ferrai and I did the same to my charger. “What?” she asked me worriedly cause after I smirk, nothing good comes after. “Last one home, buys all the snacks for tonight” I challenged her. She squinted her eyes at me. “Challenge accepted” she confirmed.

“Oh my god look! Hot boys!” I exclaimed and pointed to the direction of the football field. “Where?!” she asked and looked around frantically. I rushed into my car, put my seatbelt on, and started my car. I reversed out and stopped behind her’s. I rolled my windows down, “Silly girl, all the boys here hate us for the year round school schedule MUAHAHHAHAHAHA! I want pepperoni on my pizza!” I yelled and drove away leaving a very red blonde in my tracks.

“You are a cheater and I deserve a rematch” Skylar said angrily when she stepped out her car. I got home 5 minutes before her and I waited for her to see her face. I laughed. “No rematches. You know my rules” I told her with a smirk. She stomped her foot down and looked away from me but she gained a look of confusion. “What?” I asked her worriedly. “Someone’s here and they must be balling if they drive that car” she stated and I followed her stare and saw a silver 2014 corvette parked on my lawn. “Why  would a person who drives a 100,000 dollar million car be at my house?” Skylar shrugged. “Maybe he/she sells relastate. They make that cash flow or lawyers like mine” she suggested while turning to my house and I followed slowly, still staring at the gorgeous car infront of my house. “But why would any of those people be here?” I asked. “Maybe they are friends of your parents’ from like high school and stopped by to say hi. I don’t know Anna Banana, I’m still thinking about whether to charge the snacks on my card or pay in cash” Skylar said in annoyance as she opened my front door.

  Skylar and I walked into my house and saw a family of four sitting on my couch and they all stared at us. The woman had long brown hair and bright grey eyes and her husband mirrored her but instead of grey, his were black. Both were tan and extremely beautiful for the average person. Then they had a little girl with brown hair and hazel eyes and the man sitting next to her was the gorgeous thing to ever enter my vision. He had black hair that ended right above his bright, purple eyes which were weird, beautiful and strangely familiar. I looked at Skylar and she mirrored my look of confusion and nervousness.

Then my mom entered the room and saw that Sky and I made it home and she smiled nervously. “Girls, thank god you’re here on time. Sit down. I have important news to tell you both and I need you both to contain yourselves and this wont be pretty” my mother said with forced happiness because I knew by the look on her face that she wanted to go upstairs and cry. I grabbed my best friend’s hand and lead her to the two person love seat and my mother sat in the arm chair, facing us. “Girls these are the Hills and they came because, I’m sorry dear, Anna Beth is in a arranged marriage with their son, Caleb Hill” my mother said without suger coating and I stared at her mouth agaped and I wanted to fall on my knees and cry insanely.

“I’m. What?!” I yelled.
