The One and Only.

Go Get Him.

The next morning I wake up with a pounding head. I'm actually starting to get used to it and that's no good. I get up slowly and head downstairs to get some painkillers.

When I reach the kitchen my mom is cooking some pancakes.

"Morning honey, how are you feeling?" she asks me.
"Fine I guess, just got a headache." I reply simply.
"Do we have painkillers?" I ask annoyed by the pain I have while looking trough cabinets.
"Ohh I think we don't have any left. I can send your father to the pharmacy if you want." she tells me as she flips another pancake.
"Naah. I think I'll just go to the supermarket down the road. There's still a pharmacy in there right?" I ask grabbing a glass to drink water.
"Yeah there is. Go ahead." she says and turns the oven off.
"Cool, thanks mama." I say kissing her cheek and running up the stairs.

I throw on some grey nike sweats and a white laced crop top. I wear my nike sneakers and head downstairs after making sure to grab some money with me.

"Mooom! I'm leaving."
"Be carefull!"
"Okay byee!"

With that I head outside to the warm weather of Canada, surprisingly I am not cold.

I start walking down the road getting fresh morning air in my lungs. One thing I've missed about here, the weather. It's so fresh and clean.

After like an hour walk I reach the market. I head directly inside the pharmacy isle. I was walking and reading something about the medicine when suddenly I hit something. A wall? Damn.

"I'm sorry." we both say at the same time.

Wait. No no no no no! Hell nah! It can't be. It's impossible. Mom said he won't be here for a long time. I'm not ready to face him.

I look up immediately to see the person I want to see the last. Shawn. Fuck my life.

"M-m-melissa?" he asks stuttering.
"S-sh...I....oh my god." I say and drop the medicine box in my hand and run out of there with all I have. I hear him calling my name but I refuse to stop.

I run until I can't breathe. The air in my lungs are not enough for me. I stop and sit on the edge of the road. My head starts spinning and I can hear cars passing. One car stops in front of me and someone gets off of the drivers seat.

"Melissa, damn it, Melissa look at me." he says holding my face in his hands.
"Are you okay?" he asks but his voice echoes in my head. I shake my head no. Panic attack. Fuck.

"Hey, hey look at me. Try to slow down your breathing." he says still holding my face.

"I-I w-an-na go b-back.
F-forget t-that i-i-it's o-over.
Pa-int it in b-black.
Yeah you left me alone." I sing and he joins me shortly after.

"I never knew,
She was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up with.
And I can't go back to her, anymore.
No."

He rested his forehead on mine and we kept singing softly until the song finished. when I finally calmed down he lifts his head up to look at me.

"Are you okay now?" he asks me.
Oh how much I missed him. His eyes that can burn holes through your soul, his hair perfectly curly, his mouth the most kissable thing ever.

Wait what the hell am I talking about. He seems like he's completely over me. He seems happy.

"Y-yeah." I say taking a deep breath.
"You still sing it." he says.
"What?"
"You still sing it to calm down." he says smiling.
"You remember." I say shocked. I thought he forgot about me.
"I will never forget something like that, ever." he says making me smile as well.
"Need a ride?" he asks.
"You know I think I'll pass this time. I wanna walk to-"
"Clear your head. I know that's what you always do to clear your head." he says taking me by surprise again.
"Well..." I say.
"See you tonight." he says. I give him a confused glare.
"Tonight?" I ask.
"Your parents invited us over for dinner." he says and my eyes widen in shock and disbelief.
"See ya." he says and drives off.

Wow. He remembers.

I walk home slowly and take deep breathes again. I don't know how to feel right now. He seems happy and over me but he remembers everything. I'm sad but confused and angry at the same time. Mom lied to me, I've left him and they are coming over?

I reach home and go directly in the kitchen.
"Mom!"
"Hey swe-"
"You did it on purpose didn't you? You called me to convince me to come here so I could see him. He is here mom. Don't lie to me." I say trying to keep calm.
She sighs loudly before answering.
"Okay, I admit I did but I have a reason. I saw him during the first year and he was a mess when he remembered. He wouldn't go out or do anything. We both know you were as bad as him too. I was gonna call you but when I did you started talking about how you were dating with Matt and how he was so sweet, I couldn't." she says looking at me with sympathy.
"Oh my god. He had already remembered the whole time?"
"Yes." she says looking down.
"Mom, I've fucked up big this time. I tought he forgot about me completely." I say a tear rolling down my cheek.
"Honey, all you can do right now is to get him back. Do you still love him?" she asks me waiting for an answer.

I stop for a minute and think about it. Like today when he touched me or when I've heard his voice I had the zoo in my stomach going wild again. I think I do love him.

"I do mom. As much as I would love to refuse, I do." I say looking down.
"Then show him how you feel. Show him how it feels like to be in love. Now go get him tiger." she says smiling at me. I smile back and hug her.
"Thank you." I whisper to her ear.
"No need to thank me honey." she says and I blow her a kiss before running upstairs.

Go get him.
