6) "I love you"

It's been about two days and Luke still only remembers Zoey. It hurts because she was nothing in his life compared to me but at least he called me pretty. I mean that's a start right?

I went to school this morning only to be greeted with sympathies and sympathetic smiles. Teachers and guidance counsellors were offering to talk after school, which I appreciated, but after school I'm heading straight to Luke. Maybe it was a good thing unfortunate events happened to Luke, he is still alive anyway, and it is helping me get my mind off of everything else. One comment stood out for me though.

"Jessica, I'm so sorry for the events of your boyfriend" one of the teachers said too me.

"Oh, um, Luke? He isn't my boyfriend. But thank you" I stated awkwardly.

"Oh, I just...I'm sorry. It looked as if that was the case since you guys even came to this school. Again I'm sorry" she said clearly sensing the awkwardness.

"Don't even worry about it, thank you" I smiled and left to the last class of the day.

I ran straight to Luke's house once I was done class. I knocked on the door to be greeted by Andy.

"Hey messy jessy" he teased me with his nickname he always gave me.

"Hey" I giggled.

"Luke's on the couch" he directed me to where his son was.

I followed and sat beside Luke where he was flipping through tv channels.

"Was Tv always this boring?" He asked.

"NO! Dora the explorer is always the go to!" I replied jokingly.

"You may be cute Jessy, but your an idiot."

I was astonished.

"You remember me?!?!?" I practically shouted.

"My dad just said your name earlier....I'm sorry no. But they told me your my best friend so I trust you for sure." He smiled.

"That's good enough" I said a little bit let down.

"My head hurts" he says changing the topic.

"I know" I say remembering its one of the side effects. I call his mom because it isn't a good sign of course.

"Ok Luke let me call the doctor hun'" his mom says rushing out of the room to call the doctor.

I heard a knock on the door expecting it to be Mikey, Ash and Cal. I open it and they greet me with a mix of 'Hi's and Hey's' always mixing them up. I explained what's going on right now so they agreed one will stay here with me and Luke and the other two will give some space. Calum said he will stay, obviously still feeling guilty. Ashton and Michael left so it was just Me, Calum and Luke. Luke eventually spoke up.

"Mom I'm ok, it's gone. I feel better." Which made Liz take the damp cloth off his head and weight off her shoulders.

"If it comes back, call me Lukey. Ok?"

It's cute how concerned mothers get. Luke just nods.

"Ok, I still have a minor head ache so please don't make a big deal and start a commotion. Just hush about it." Luke says sternly to me and Calum.

"Luke-" I start but get cut off.

"Shut up Jess"Luke starts "I know everything about you and we only met in 9th grade and we are going into 11th, not even 2 years of knowing each other and you feel like I can protect you from reality and I feel the same. Calum, I've known you since I could remember and I guess you are like another brother to me. You are my best friend and I will never hate you which you said a lot in the hospital. I don't know how you're involved in what happened but it's fine and I will never hate you. I know Jack I know Ben, I know Celeste and I know my parents and I know Zoey and I know Michael and Ashton. I know my birthday was on July 16th 1996 and I know my middle name is Robert. I know who I am. I dont know how but it's coming back. I hear the screeches of the car in the accident. I remember everything." He says with a sigh. As if he feels a relief because now he can look in the mirror and not just wonder.

I jumped on him like I would lose him if I didn't. I just cried into his shoulder while Calum kept saying "I can't believe I almost lost my best friend" over and over tears threatening to spill from his dark brown eyes. Luke just soothingly rubbed my back as a sign of support and care. The tears were spilling out of my eyes just as easy as the words spilled out of his tongue.

"I love you" he whispered in my ear.
