~~~~Izzy’s POV~~~~

“So, you mean to tell me the boy I met in the café was one of our best friends?”

I was absolutely dumbfounded… I suddenly understood why he asked if I knew who he was. He was my best friend for years, and I just… forgot. How did I do that? I spent years with Noah and now I have no recollection at all.

~*~*~*~Noah’s POV~*~*~*~

            We made our way back to the skate park, still hungry because we didn’t get the food from the café we were supposed to. But I was truly hurt she did remember me. I mean I know it has been years but… I think she would remember. I sure do…

            I wonder if she and Ciara were still in contact. I would have to ask her when I call her, or see her. I had all these thoughts practically sprinting through my mind that won’t stop. I saw her once and its driving me crazy… I have to see her again.

            “Hey buddy, just cause she doesn’t remember, doesn’t mean it’s going to affect you now.”

            “See. That’s the thing Aiden… it already has. I can’t stop thinking about how she didn’t recognize me when she sat there. It’s… its killing me.”

            “Maybe you should talk to her then…”

And maybe he was right. I should talk to her let her know we already know each other.

~~~~~~~ Iz’s POV~~~~~~~

I felt absolutely horrible. Noah has to hate me, how could he not? I even hate me. How does someone just forget five years of their life and have it go unnoticed?

            “Hey Ciara… why do you think I forgot Noah?”

            “Honestly Izzy, I don’t know… But maybe I do. Cause for a while, I forgot him too. He… he just slipped out of our lives, I never thought he would, but he just did.”

            “I can’t help but think something’s wrong with me, I know I keep saying this, but you don’t just forget FIVE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE *sigh* im sorry… I just… I don’t know.”

            “Hey babes it’s understandable, you just ran into your old best friend that you don’t even remember, I get this is stressful. Just know it will all be ok.”

*RING RING*

I pick up the phone without looking as the caller I.D.

“Hello?”

            “Hi. Is this Isabella?”

            “Umm, yes. This is she”

            “You sound so formal, it’s just me. Noah.”

            “Haha I sound formal? I thought you were like a business person”

I started to smile for no reason. Talking to Noah just made me feel… happy, almost whole. I don’t remember feeling like this for a long time.

            “So… I was wondering if you would meet me at the café in ten?”

            “Umm… yeah, sure that sounds perfect.”

            “Ok see you then”

            “Ok, Bye”

I ended the conversation smiling, yet I’m nervous to see him.

            “Hey, Ciara?”

            “Hm? Err yeah?”

            “I’m gonna head back down to the café to talk to Noah… I can come back after if you want.”

            “Sure babes! I want to know how this meeting went! I will see you later then!”

I exit her apartment with a quick goodbye walking down to the café to meet up with Noah
