It's all my fault. I've said this a million times already and I'm going to keep saying it. If I wouldn't have did what he said and shoved him, or called Brendon for a stupid answer to a stupid question, this wouldn't have all happened. I'm such an idiot. How can Tyler like, or even love, someone like me? But right now he doesn't even have those feelings for me. I'm a complete stranger to him. I'm going to go talk to him today and see if I can spark a memory or some moment that he will remember of me. It's been over a week since I've last talked to him. I didn't want him upset, and I wanted to see if he could get his memories back.

I knocked on his door and he opened it a few seconds later, "Oh, h-hey,"

"Hi," I replied, "I came to, stop by-if that's okay,"

"Yeah, I guess."

He moved out of the way for me to walk in and closed the door behind me. I stood by his table and he stood across from me by the countertop. He looked a lot better. His bruises were almost all gone, same with his cuts but just had small little scars on his hands and one on his cheekbone if you looked close enough.

"So?" he asked and I snapped my attention back.

"Um, well, I kinda came here to see if I could try something-"

"If you're trying to get my memory back, it's not going to work," he said as he walked over to the couch. I followed, "Please let me try,"

I sat down next to him and pulled out my phone once he shrugged. I went to my camera roll and found some pictures of us together before handing him my phone. He scrolled through the photos and took his time looking at each of them as I sat and watched.

He stopped on a picture of us and stared at it.

He pulled out his phone and went to his camera roll

He pulled out his phone and went to his camera roll. A video from Vine showed up and he pressed play.

"There's so much couch available," the phone moved from the couch and over to my face, "and Josh is sitting right next to me."

I laughed in the video and it ended. I smiled lightly and Tyler kept scrolling through his camera roll.

"I-" he started but didn't finish. His mouth remained open as if he was going to say more, "I don't, understand..."

He continued to scroll until he saw another picture of us standing atop of rocks. He clicked on it and ran a hand through his hair.

"Hey, it's okay, take your time," I said as I shook his shoulder

"Hey, it's okay, take your time," I said as I shook his shoulder. He nodded and kept looking. He found another picture of the both of us with Dallon.

He found one last one of when I was tattooing my name on his knee

He found one last one of when I was tattooing my name on his knee. His eyebrows furrowed before he hurriedly rolled up his pants to see my name on his knee, "I have one too," i said as i showed him his name on my knee through the hole in my pants.

His face softened and he turned off his phone as he threw it to the side. I leaned back a little and waited for him to answer again. Please let him remember me, please.

He looked at me right in the face and sort of 'scanned' it, "Ty?-" I asked but I was cut off by a pair of lips colliding into mine. My eyes widened, realizing what was happening. He pulled away quickly and smiled.

"Ty?" I asked again and he smiled even wider.

"Hey Josh," he said smartly. I grabbed his face in my hands and I pulled him close so our lips connected once again. Man did I miss him. I felt him smile against my lips and that made me so relieved. He put one hand on the back of my neck to deepen the kiss.

I pushed him back so I was on top of him, our noses brushing slightly. I placed my hands up by his head and leaned down to kiss him again. Our lips moved in sync perfectly and it felt like it had been going on for hours. I didn't want it to ever stop but he pulled away first.

I raised my eyebrows at him and he just chuckled as he played with a strand of my hair. He twirled it in between his fingers, "I'm sorry,"

"It's not your fault, it's-"

"It's not yours Josh, don't say that,"

I smiled, "Thanks Ty. I just went crazy without you, and-and I'm glad to have you back,"

He leaned up to give me a peck on the lips before leaning back down, "I love you,"

"Love you too, Ty."
