"are you cara?"

"huh?" she looked at me with confusion written on her face.

"your- your name is cara."

"'how did you know?"

"because i already talked to that girl a few hours ago, and she mentioned that name. it's a long story, but maybe it's your name." she leaned her head on her hand, with a frown on her face. she stared at the floor in silence. 

i sighed ans sat down next to her again. "what's wrong now?"

"i'm confused."

"me too," i mumbled and did the same , leaned my head on my hand. 

"i don't know what is happening, or what will happen. i am scared..." she looked at me raised her eyebrows. "what is your name again?" 

"you don't know it or don't remember it ? i looked back at her. 

"i don't know my name , but i feel like i know yours. i just can't get my hand on it, though." i chuckled. 

"it's jack" her frown turned into a smile, making me return it.

"it's a cute name."

"thanks, your is cute too"

"thanks," she mumbled looking away again. i couldn't help but admire her beauty in the dark. the lamp beside the couch was making it a bit easy to see her, beside the moonlight.

i was staring and i knew she felt my gaze on her because i felt her getting shy. i decided not to freak her out anymore than she already was, and start a small talk. i was nervous, though . "how does it feel?" she gave me her attention. "being alive?"

"hm... it feels alive?" she giggled making me look away in embarrassment. what a dumb question to ask, jack! way to go. 

"sorry, that was dumb."

"no, it wasn't. i mean it, i feel alive. i can finally talk and walk. smile and laugh. i can do stuff i watched you people do the days i opened my eyes. well, saw without meaning to."

"wow," i said in disbelief.

"what?"

"still not believing that... i'm talking to you"

"me neither." we sat in silence for moments then she broke it. "jack?"

shit. 

the way my name rolled out of her mouth made me melt for a moment.

felt weird things i had never felt before and it made me go numb. in my mind, i was begging for her to say it over and over. it was like music to my ear and i know it sounded cliche, but it was so damn true .

"y-yes?" i coughed to get a hold of myself. stay strong, jack. i reminded myself.

"she doesn't deserve you."

"who?"

"your girlfriend." i frowned and felt the pain in my chest coming back when i pictured her in my mind.

"you heard?" her blue eyes went wide.

"oh, i'm sorry. i know i should-"

"its okay, you didn't mean it."

"yes, i swear i didn't."

"don't panic, its okay." i put my hand on her back. i didn't know what i was doing, i just did it without thinking...
