On the Edge of Love *on hold*

Woah

*Ciara’s POV*

            I tidy my flat up some before Iz and Noah arrive. I wonder how it went with her meeting his friends…I hope it was good. As I finish I hear a knock, quickly I run to go get the door. As I open it I see Noah with his arm wrapped around Izzy. I cant help but find them so cute. I hear Izzy start to speak.

            “Hey Ciara”

            “Hey you guys what’s up”

            “Not much we just got back from lunch.”

            “Sounds fun, why don’t you come in?”

They came in and sat down and we just talked for hours. I hadn’t gotten to fully catch up because he had to leave last time we talked. After a while he and Iz had left and I sat alone in my flat again.

*One Week Later*

**Noah’s POV**

I sat on the couch in Izzy’s house waiting for her to come back from getting popcorn for the movie. I was considering bringing the memory thing up. It’s not something we can avoid forever. I waited for a few more minutes and she finally came in. Maybe we can talk when the movie is over.

            As we finish I decided to speak up.

            “Do you think we talk?”

            “Umm… sure?”

            “Why did you forget?”

Immediately I can see her tense.

            “I don’t know Noah.”

Her voice is hard full of anger.

            “Come on Isabelle. Think about it. How did you forget?”

            “God dammit Noah. Maybe it’s because I didn’t want to remember that pain. Maybe it was to protect myself. Did you ever think that pain was too much so I blocked you out? Huh? If you could have chosen to forget me to not feel that pain I’m sure you would have done it. I just didn’t have that choice, it just happened.”

            “No I wouldn’t have. Do you honestly think that I would want to forget you? If I had forgotten you neither of us would be here. Yeah forgetting the pain would be nice sometimes, but you? Never.”

            “You think I like forgetting you? Ha! Funny. Forgetting wasn’t a choice. It just happened. I can’t change it, why can’t you accept that?”

            “Because you forgot me, and I loved you!”

            “Loved? What the hell? So you don’t anymore…”

I suddenly realized my words. I could see the tears streaming down her face. We were both standing facing each other. I start to walk over to comfort her. She puts her hands out gently pushing me away.

            “No, not now.”

Guilt crashes over me. She walks away towards her room and I walk to the door.

            “I’m leaving, I might come back later, but I’m not sure.”

I shut the door and run my car. As I climb I regret every word I said in there. I quickly drive away. As I arrive at my house I shut the door hard. I slam my fist in to the wall a throw the picture closest to me a collapse into a heap on the floor.

                                           *Izzy’s POV*

            Loved. The past tense of love. As in Noah used to love me. Maybe he just was so caught up in the moment he mis-spoke. But, he promised that he would never leave me. And he did, he walked right through the door. Just like he said he would never do again. I cant change the fact he did, but it hurts. Of all the things he could have done. He left. That hurt, he did it so easily. He might now even come back this time, he said it himself. But god dammit! He said he wouldnt do it. Not just told but promised. Thats the worst part. Promises shouldnt be broken, but that dosnt help the fact they are. I couldn’t think about this, maybe I could watch a movie to keep my mind of him for a while. I mean it’s only 2 o’ clock.

*Noah’s POV*

It has been three hours sitting on the floor. I needed to go back to Isabelle’s house; I have to apologize to her. I get up and go to my car. I end up getting to a stop light. As it turns green I start to move but suddenly I jerked to the side. I look out the passenger window and the pavement pressed up against it. I start to feel off. And slowly I am surrounded my darkness.
