The next morning, Holly got up early.

Allison was still asleep, but they have both discussed the night before that Hollywas going to go home early in the morning to tell Alex what was happening.

Of course, Allison was against the idea of Holly telling her brother about the pairs relationship, but Holly knew that without a good reason to go back to America, Alex wouldn't be happy about her going. Once she was dressed, she snuck out of the room quietly so she didn't wake Allison. With the room key in her hand, she made her way outside and called a taxi. She was lucky that she had enough money to get home as she hadn't checked her wallet last night before leaving.

It was 7AM, and she knew Alex wouldn't be setting off for work until around 10. This gave her plenty of time to get home to talk with him.

Once she arrived home she looked up at his bedroom window to make sure the curtains were open. Waking him up would only have put him in a bad mood which was exactly what she didn't want, especially with the news she was about to tell him. She crept in through the front door quietly and stepped inside the hallway. I walked through the living room and into the kitchen, finding him sat at the kitchen table. I set my phone and my keys down on the counter and sat down opposite him.

"Morning stranger. It's nice to see you for a change."

She tilted her head slightly to the side and raised an eyebrow. "It was only one night."

"And what about Friday? Where were you then? Because I know you weren't with Ayla."

"That's what I need to talk to you about."

He sat up and lent on the table. "Well, I'm listening. Hey, did you break up with Ayla?"

"Yes. But that's not what I want to talk to you about."

"She was a nice girl. Wait, you haven't got anyone pregnant have you?"

Holly screwed up her face and rolled her eyes. "What?! You're such an idiot Alex. Just listen to me!"

"You know Allison yeah? Well, I have something to tell you." She took a deep breath. This was going to be a lot harder than she had originally thought.

"Okay. I'm listening."

"I don't know how to say this. So I'm just going to come straight out with it. A few weeks after I moved out to America, I met someone and I fell in love with her. I know you won't agree with any of this and I'm not telling you this in hope that you'll understand, I'm telling you because I need to. Me and Allison started dating, a couple of weeks after we met. Now I know she was my teacher but at the time, It didn't matter. We had a fallout before the crash and well, I guess that's how the crash happened. I was explaining to Elliott how I'd fallen in love with her but she didn't want me anymore. He got sidetracked because of me and we crashed."

Alex stood up from the table and walked over to the counter by the sink. He looked out of the window. "Your Teacher." He said.

"A fucking teacher?!" His voice got louder.

"Let me finish first ok! I didn't remember her in the hospital, I'd forgotten EVERYTHING about her. I didn't know who she was, I didn't know we'd been seeing each other. She didn't come to the hospital everyday because she was a good teacher, she came because she was in love with me."

"You were 18 Holly. Don't you understand how wrong that is?"

I stood up. "Exactly, 18! An adult. Young, but still technically an adult. Just like you! I knew what I wanted, and I still do. Jesus Alex, I fell in love with her and then lost my fucking memory. But then I managed to fall in love with her again! Surely that shows you how special she must be to me. Anyways, Elliott told the principal that she was seeing a student. Luckily, her and the principal were good friends and he let her go without getting the police involved. She followed me to the airport Alex, when I was moving back here. She came to stop me, but I told her I had to leave. And then when she showed up last week, it wasn't for a holiday. She came to see me. And now I've fallen in love with her all over again, so much more than last time."
