Forgotten Memories

Chapter 9

Ok I really don't have a good reason why I didn't update,I guess I just got discouraged about what to write about so I kinda just  stopped writing for a time. Oh and I also kinda got my phone taken away for reasons that are stupid,but anyway I hope there are a few who are still reading this story. I wrote two chapters since I haven't updated in awhile even though that's not a lot. Sorry again, I hope you enjoy.

As I'm still trying to catch my breath from this exilerating yet somewhat foreign feeling, I look over at Ara and she seems to be feeling the same way. Her bare chest heaving up and down and decreasing to a slower pace as time passes. I'm snapped out of my daze when she turns her head toward me and smiles and I wonder what's going on in her head. I gain the strength to finally speak.

"That was amazing, I really needed that, it's been awhile since uh...well.."

"Since what?" She said.

"Well since Rose and I did anything together" I say sorrow filling my eyes.

"Wait so you have a girlfriend?!" She said sitting up quickly.

"No were uh... Not together anymore" I say holding back tears because I don't want to ruin this.

"Oh...can I ask why? She says with concern.

I sit up with her  and run my hands through my hair. I might as well just tell her now and get it over with because she's gunna have to know sooner or later. So I begin to tell her of the undying love I had for my Rose and the unfortunate events that unfolded the night of the accident. The words felt like sand paper against my tongue as I told her of how Rose slipped away from my grasp and there was absolutely nothing i could do to get her back no matter how much I wanted it to happen. By the time I'm done, I notice that Ara is in tears and she's trying to cover up her emotions with the blankets.

"No don't cry Ara, it's all over with now" I say taking her in my arms.

She cries into my shoulder for a few seconds and then lifts up her head to connect our eyes and then starts to speak.

"You know, Rose must have been a great person if you had that much love for her and I'll never be able to be exactly her for you, but if you let me I'll try everything in my power to put back every single piece of you that's been broken. And I know it's been two years since then but a love like that will never be forgotten no matter how much you try" she says sniffling and hiccuping.

"Ara, you don't need to try, you alone being here and just listening and showing that you actually care about me tells me that you were a right decision, no matter how much I loved Rose, I need to start clean with someone new. And you Ara are that someone. And I know for a fact that this is what Rose would've wanted me to do" I say reassuringly as I lay her down and caress her long brown hair.

This is perfect, she is perfect.

....

Next thing you know I'm being woken up by the light flickering on and off repeatedly and a loud banging noise. I hadn't even realized I fell asleep. I slowly open my eyes and see Ara still fast asleep next to me,she must be a heavy sleeper. I get up lazily and lean on my elbow for support and look over my shoulder to see two middle aged people standing angrily at the door. What the hell? And then it suddenly hits me that Ara and I fell asleep in the middle of the day and now her parents were home. Well fuck.

"Uhh Ara? I think we have a problem" I say whispering in her ear and shaking her lightly.

"No it's fine my parents shouldn't be home till 8" she says grumpily and try's to fall asleep again.
