Layla's P.O.V.

"Who are you?" I asked. The boy in front of me looked crushed. Jason whispered something in my ear.

"Mitch, your boyfriend."

His voice cracked on the word boyfriend. I blinked. "Oh."

"You don't remember him?" Adam asked. I shook my head. "Not particularly." 

I heard Lauren speaking to Lily. I could hear only a few words.

"....maybe it's better this way."

I shrugged. "Maybe it is." I said out loud. Lauren and Lily turned toward me. 

"Mitch?" I said testing the word out. The boy turned toward me. "Yeah?"

"Why don't I remember you?" I asked. He blinked. "I don't know." 

Mitch's P.O.V.

She had to remember me! Out of all her friends, I was the only one. The only one she forgot. 

Why?

I saw Layla's fingers curl around Jason's. He saw my sad look. 

"Can we talk for a second Mitch?" he asked. I nodded. We walked away from the group.

"This is killing you isn't it?" Jason asked. There was a hint of sympathy in his voice. I nodded sadly. "Listen Mitch, I like Layla, but I want her to love me for me. Not because she forgot how much she loves you."

I turned toward him. "What are you saying?" I asked. Jason sighed.

"I'm giving you a chance."

"A last chance."
