I hope the girl is ok my knee was shaking with nerves I find myself silently praying I never pray, after I said my little prayer, I stare out of the window looking away from the waters edge I really don't want bad memories right now I know Jesse brought me here to remember but right now is not a good time "so you and Jesse Avery are you dating?" Matt asks I think he must sense my nervousness I turn to him and smile even though he couldn't see my smile because he was watching the water.
"No" I would want to date him but I think he only sees me as a immature teenager, Matt nods with a chuckle I hear sirens not one but two the sound makes the hair on my arms stand up "how many people are hurt?" I've been ignoring the radio chatter because I wanted to think positively.
"Just one.. the others have took in a lot of water 5 more seconds and the girl would of gone under Jesse is quick on a board," a mobile goes off it was Jesse's it was left on the side I pick up the black iPhone as my cousins name was on the screen I click the green answer button to hear Anthony's voice.
"Jess thank fuck for that I've been arrested..Jess" he sounds worried.
"Ant you've been arrested what for? What's going on?"
"Shit Avery where's Jesse why did you answer his phone? Ava where the fuck is Jesse?" I hear someone say times up André "Ava just tell him I'm at Sydney police station I'm sorry don't tell Aunty" the line goes dead I look at the phone to see Jesse's wallpaper set to me and him his arm was around me as we were sitting on the beach at sunset I was practically sitting on his knee I have never sat with Jesse this way and if I did I don't remember.
As a short time went one curiosity got the better of me and I find myself looking through his pictures I scroll back past all the beach surfing pictures which there was a lot of , there was a few pictures of me well I assume it's me and Jesse there was a couple of us hugging, then kissing , kissing! The first picture was a kiss on the cheek then the next was a kiss on lips, we looked happy the one after that was us asleep together in the back of a car my head was on Jesse's shoulder, that was the last one, what the fuck no it can't be me can it? Yes it is I examine the photos closely to see it's me I drop his phone in shock "shit" the screen was cracked I pick it up and put it back on the table faced down why didn't he tell me, how long were we together tears form in my eyes.
"Hey kid what's up?" Yatesy asks putting his arm around me I look up and stare at him it's too much for me to handle "Hey everything is going to be alright " that's when I remember I cover my mouth with my hand and gasp.
"Yatesy you saved my life" he smiles.
"You remembered Ava" Jesse said surprised walking inside I nod then what my mum said comes back in my head but I ignore it right now isn't the right time or place.
"Why is my screen cracked?" He gives me a look when he opens the phone.
"Ant called wondering if you would pick him up and when I put it down I dropped it sorry" I lie I wasn't going to tell the truth until we were on our own.
"Ah no worries.. do you want to go for a walk?" I nod standing up it feels very tense in here.
We walk in silence for a bit until I finally have the courage "why didn't you tell me?" he puts his hands in his pockets and looks down at his feet.
"Because I wanted you to remember on your own" now I understand why he never told me he was hoping that my feelings would come back and it not to be forced that's what he meant by 'you will fall in love with them again' and he was right they were starting to come back.
"How long were we together?.. am I still a virgin?" he laughs .
"A month before your accident and yeah you are. Ava are you not mad?" I shake my head "when you had your accident you just remembered me as a friend.
"Oh god I was mad until I thought about it..did I want to lose it".
"Jesus can you stop with the awkward sex talk" he laughs "I don't know?" I laugh I have never seen Jesse be awkward it's cute.
"I though you thought of me as a immature teenager?" he grabs my hand.
"Your far from immature I saw you as Ava the awkward surfer chick who went up against anything and everything, look I know you are scared to go back in the water but Ava we can do it together I told you we would" I put my hands on his face and kiss him my eyes close it felt like it was me and him against the world for a moment but we pulled away.
"Shut up soppy, I may not remember our relationship but that then felt right can I kiss you again".
