Crazy stupid love

Chapter 60

~Ross pov~

I've tried everything for the past month and nothing I do is working. She still doesn't remember what we had. She remembers moving to California, graduating high school and moving to New York for college, but she doesn't remember us and I don't know what to do.

Everyone tells me to give her time, That she will come back, but it's hard to know someone you love doesn't remember anything you lived with them and worst of all, that doesn't love you the same way.

If I am completely honest it's breaking me but today will be the day she remembers us. I'm taking her out and as we are sitting on the beach watching the sunset I'm singing her a song I wrote for her on the guitar.

I knock on her front door and wait a few minutes. After about 3 she answers the door with a small smile on her face. "Hi Ross."

"Hey. Uh I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go out, If you aren't busy at the moment?" I say scratching the back of my head as a nervous habit.

"Sure. Should I go change or?" She asks sweetly and I shake my head. "No you look beautiful." I look at her admiringly. "Plus I was uh we're going to the beach." I say realizing what I said before.

"Oh, alright then. let me get my phone and we can go." She blushes but tries to cover it up. I nod my head and she walks inside coming back minutes later. We walk to my car and head to the beach.

"So uh I hear that we used to date. Can you maybe tell me about us?" She says looking down at the sand.

"Well I'm not gonna lie. We had some bumpy roads. We actually just had gotten back together, 4 months before the accident. I did some pretty stupid things but I never stopped loving you." I smile at her while I thought about the first time we went out.

"My family had a cook out the day you got here and I told you how I felt followed by kissing you. You didn't talk to me for a week but soon after we hung out again and that night you ran to my house at around 8:30 in your pajamas and kissed me telling me that you wanted to be my girlfriend." I kept on smiling and when I look at her I see a few tears fall to her cheek.

I whip away her tears and say. "I don't think I've ever been more happier than that night."

"Wow. You really did love me." She says looking down at her hands. "Sydney, I never stopped and I don't think I ever will."

"I'm sorry for putting you through all of this. I wish I could remember every moment together. I've seen the pictures in my room, in my phone. We look so happy and now I'm taking that away from you."

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault you can't remember anything between us. And just being able to see you makes me happy." I move a strand of hair off her face and crease her cheek. "Here I uh kinda wrote this song in hopes that maybe you'd remember something." I say grabbing my guitar and strumming it. "It's called 18."

~Sydney's pov~

I got a heart
And I got a soul
Believe me I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone

So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18

We took a chance
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we'd be fine

So pour me a drink, oh, love,
Let's split the night wide open and we'll see everything
We can livin' love in slow motion, motion, motion

So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18

When we were 18
Oh, Lord, when we were 18

Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing

To be loved and to be in love

And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18

He strummed the last chord. "the age is a bit off because I've loved you since we were 13, if I'm being completely honest, but 18 went well with the lyrics." He blushed.

"You've really loved me since we were 13?" I ask in shock and he nodded. "The necklace you have on." He pointed to the one he gave me the day of our 13th birthday. "That was meant to be a gift for when I asked you to be my girlfriend. But the day before our birthday, when I got home from being at the skatepark with you, my parents gave me the news that we were moving so I thought it'd be best if I just gave it to you as a gift so you'll never forget me."

"You are such a sweat heart." I say and hug him. "And thank you for the song it was lovely."

"You're welcome beautiful." He says as I slowly pull away, but as I was pulling away from our hug my eyes made contact with his and the whole world came to a stop.

I became mesmerized by his hazel eyes and I soon felt his lips touch mine. He cupped my cheek and I felt a flood of memories come back.  I subconsciously laid my hands on his neck as his tongue pleaded for entrance. I granted it feeling all the love this boy had for me.

After a few seconds we slowly pulled away and he looked down. "I'm sorry. I'm supposed to be giving you space and here I am kissing you." He says and I giggled. "that's what you said when we went to the skate park after I ignored you for a whole week."

"You remember." He says with a bright smile on his face and I nod. "Yeah a little bit."
