I Don't Remember

Adam's POV 

I watched Scarlett run into the house, crying. 

I felt bad, I really did. But I have no idea who those kids are, and I barely know who she is. I know she's Jesse's sister, because I can recall him telling me about her. 

In all the pictures she showed me, I looked so happy with them. But I don't remember any of it. The last thing I remember is the party for the release of Overexposed.

4 Years Ago: Overexposed Release Party 

Adam's POV 

I walked into the crowded club in my leather jacket, jeans, white t-shirt, and biker boots. I was greeted with shot glasses and gorgeous women. 

I walked over to the bar and saw a girl with gorgeous dark brown hair sitting at the bar. "Tequila," I said to the bartender. I downed the shot and the girl next to me looked over.

I recognized her. I had seen her in pictures before. It was Jesse's sister, Scarlett.

"Hi Scarlett," I said. "You know me?" She asked. "Well I've heard a lot about you and I've seen many pictures of you," I said. "Well I know you as well," She said.

"Can I buy you a drink?" I asked. "Sure. Vodka," She said. "Vodka shot for the beautiful lady and another tequila shot for me," I said. 

An hour later, there were 20 shot glasses on the bar, and we were drunk. I grabbed Scarlett's hand and we made our way back to the couches in the corner. 

Scarlett pushed me down onto the couch and she stradled my lap. We sat there making out for over an hour. 

The next morning I woke up with an awful hangover and I saw a note on the empty space next to me.

Dear Adam,

You are an amazing guy and I had so much fun last night! I've had a crush on you since you formed Kara's Flowers with Jesse. I know that you are just a man of one night stands, so my hopes aren't high for getting a real relationship out of this. 

I just wanted you to know that I loved spending time with you and I was glad I got to spend one night with you. Thank you for the amazing night. Even if you want something more, which I doubt you do, I don't think it would be right since my brother is your best friend. Anyway thanks for the great night!

Love Scar xoxo 

Present Day 

I remember that night. I forgot about Scar's note. 

It suddenly all came flooding back. Every memory. The day she agreed to be my girlfriend, the day Jesse found out, the night in Paris. Finding out about the twins, proposing to Scar, marrying her, having the twins. Every birthday and anniversary since.

It all came back. 

I ran inside and saw Scar on the couch.

"Scar!" I shouted. She looked up with puffy, red eyes and she looked confused. "I remember everything! It all came back! I remember every birthday, anniversary, their births, our wedding, everything!" I shouted. 

A smile appeared on her face and she got up and hugged me. "You really remember?" She asked. "I don't know how I ever forgot," I said before I kissed her with more passion than I ever have before. 

"Noah! Violet!" Scar shouted. They came running downstairs with puffy, red eyes and sad looks on their faces. "Yes?" They asked.

"Noah Michael and Violet Kennedy," I said. "Yeah?" They asked. Their faces suddenly lit up and they ran over to me. "Daddy you remember!" They shouted.

"How could I ever forget," I said with a smile and tears falling down my face. 

But they weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of joy.

I remembered the people that meant the most.

The 3 people that are my entire world.
