(Leah POV) 

I walk to the kitchen with my crutches and sit on a chair in front of the counter, i started looking through my phone, i smiled to myself looking through my old instagram pictures, i remembered alot now with the help of nadine, calum, michael, arianna and luke. I remember middle school, and i remember my childhood, i remember my daddy, i remember my mom, graduation, house parties, i remember alot of things, i remember loosing my virginity, alot of things were still blurry but Arianna was trying to clear it up, She said i had a couple of boyfriends, she told me about this boy named Ashton.. she said he was my first love and she said that the other boyfriend's didn't matter. Not that it matters, cause it's all a blur. On another note, Luke and i had our stitches removed, he got his cast removed and i have a to wait a week to get mine's removed.

"Hey.." A voice said startling me. It was luke

"Hii!"  I chirped

"someone seems pretty happy today, haha whats up kiddo?" Luke said opening the fridge and looking through it

"I am happy! i remember alot!" i said biting my bottom lip 

"Really? haha thats great kiddo" He said closing the fridge coming out empty handed then grabbing an apple from the counter. "want?" He said referring to an apple

"Sure!" I smiled taking it from him as he grabbed another. 

"where's arianna?" 

"She's home with Michael, she said she left me here, and my little sister is with my Aunt Jessie in Miami..because well..you know.. my mom .. never has a free day in her life.." I said sighing.. 

"Aw.. you got your friends!" Luke said walking into another room.. 

"Thanks!" 

"come on." He laughed

"well .. i'm trying considering i have a broken ankle.. " I said getting off of the high chair

"You can do it!" Luke laughed running over to me and grabbing the crutches then handing them to me

"thanks.." 

we started walking...and limping to the other room which led to the living room. He got the TV remote and sat down on the couch.

"Why do you have such a big house?" I asked looking around

"Well..my mom works here.. she was one of the teacher in the highschool we went to.. when my dad left us.. after i graduated.. she went back to australia because she missed home..which is where i am from, since you haven't borught up the ol "YOU TALK REALLY FUNNY" line.. i'm telling you now.. i'm not from here..anyways, she met this man, James, which is not my dad, thus, leaving me the house that we lived in, because she thought that i actually wanted to go to college, so since we've been living here for a while, the house was fully paid with the help of James, i don't know what my stepdad looks like.. or what he's like, but i'm hoping to fly to Australia soon and find out.. so now its completely mine's.. it's not big but its not small, its just right, I don't like two story houses... they scare me.. Now i regret telling my mom to leave me with such a big house.. for just one person..

"Why' didn't you get an apartment..?" 

"I had a girlfriend.. and i thought we would last longer.. and she.. we ended up breaking up.. and she got an apartment..and left me.. because i made really stupid choices." Luke said taking a bite out of his apple

"Oh wow.. thats.. thats sad...what did you do?" 

"I um.. i slept around with girls.. and i cheated on her.. and i called her mean names..and.. i slept with her bestfriend.. but she didn't know that, i genuinely loved her.."

"Loved?" I asked biting my apple

"Love." He said 

"Love.." I repeated.. "Where is she now?" 

"somewhere.. Here.. there.. " Luke said standing up and putting in a DVD in.. 

"Does she know you love her?" 

"Boy.. does she? I risked my life for her." 

"You did?" I said in a dreamy voice then clearing my throat.. 

"Ohhh yeah." Luke said sitting back down.. 

"Does she love you back?" I asked fiddling with my thumbs

"Yeah.. she does, is she too stubborn to admit it... yeah, she is.." Luke said

"So you're never going to move on from her.. are you?" I asked a bit sad.. 

"Nope.. I'm hoping she'll take me back.." 

I looked down..

"You okay there sweetheart?" Luke asked pressing play on the movie we were about to watch, which was Warm Bodies

"I'm just confused.. thats all.." 

"Confused on what..?" He asked sitting closer to me..

Why am i so upset, i mean he is really cute, when i first saw him he was in a hospital gown, his hair stood up, now, he's in a muscle band tee and baggy sweatpants with his hair down swooping over his forehead, he looked so young.. so justin bieberish..He had light blue eyes, and acne here and there, a bit of stubble here and there..he had bags under his eyes and pink plump lips, cracked.. 

"If you love her so much, why don't you go get her...?" 

"Because... I'm trying.. to.. figure out what i want.." 

"what do you mean figure out what you want..?" 

"Leah...get comfortable..we need to talk.." Luke said..

I did so and he sits down next to me, he picked my feet up and put them over his laps..

"The girl.. was smart, sweet, kind, she had curly hair at times when she didn't iron it, i would get so mad at her because i loved her natural hair, she had light eyes, and a perfect smile..she was the girl who guided me to make good choices.." 

"I felt like i knew her.."

"you do.." 

"I do!? Whats her name?" i asked excitedly

Luke started laughing

"slow down, don't worry just yet.." 

"Just yet?" 

"Forget about it.. we'll talk about it later..tell me everything you remember leah.." 

"Honestly.. everything.. except.. my love life.. Arianna said some kid named ashton was my boyfriend.." 

"Who else do you remember?" Luke asked.

"It's all a blur.. i remember getting into fights....many fights.. sometimes i remember i used to be really heart broken.. and confused.. and i just .. it's frusterating not knowing anything! i feel like a zombie!" I shouted crying

"hey hey hey.. don't cry.." Luke said getting comfortable and laying on the couch next to me pulling me close to him, he wrapped his arms around me and i kept crying onto his chest.. 

"I feel empty.. i feel like theres something i should be remembering but i dont know what it is.." 

"Want me to help?" Luke asked softly

"What can you do luke? Magically--" 

Next thing i know his broken pink lips interact with mine.. i lay back onto the couch as he kept kissing me. 

It was slowly returning, everything, most of it still a blur.. 

then it hit me.. I remembered it.. 

SLOW DOWN LUKE.. 

"SHUT UP!" 

LUKE PLEASE! SLOW DOWN! WE'RE GOING TO FUCKING DIE!" 

"I'M SO TIRED OF YOUR SHIT LEAH, HONESTLY STOP TELLING ME TO SLOW DOWN I DO WHAT I FUCKING WANT." 

"LUKE PLEASE." I begged..

"Luke!!!!!"
