A Story That Will Never Die {Henry Mills/OUAT} [2]

6 Months?

***
Darkness is all I see around me. I'm laying on a hard surface and I hear noises all around me. I suddenly gasp awake and shoot up from my laying position. I am completely surprised by what I see. I'm in the middle of a park with people on their phones and some are talking with each other. What happened? Last thing I remember was Henry and Emma driving across the town line and then I woke up here.

I get up off of the ground and I look around me for any clues as to where I am. I soon come up to a bulletin board with a certain name, "Boston, Massachusetts." I read the name in shock. I remember having my phone in my pocket so I look at the date. "September 14." It's been six months since the second curse was enacted. I put my phone back in my pocket and just walk around thinking.

How did I end up in Boston? Where are the others? If I'm in Boston does that mean I can try to find Emma and Henry? While walking I ended up bumping into someone. "Sorry!" We both apologized to each other. I looked up and saw someone I was hoping to see. In front of me stood my best friend, Henry.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked.

I snapped out of my shocked state and answered him, "Um, yeah. I'm fine." Oh, how I wanted to just hug him so much right now. Sadly, he doesn't remember me right now. "I'm Aria." I said to him.

"I'm Henry." Henry said. Henry looked like he was thinking before he asked, "Have I seen you somewhere?"

"Um, no." I replied. It was getting really awkward. "So why did you come here today?" 'Why did you come here today?' Really Aria?!

"I just needed to clear my head." Henry replied.

I thought for a second, "I know something that can do that." I was smirking now.

"What?" Henry asked confusedly.

"Follow me." I said to him.

We finally ended up at an ice cream shop and we walked inside. Henry looked confused, "Ice cream? What is ice cream going to do?" He asked me.

"Ice cream can make you forget all of your problems," I said as we waited in line for our turn. I'm glad that I saw Henry again. For some reason, I felt like I hadn't seen him in forever. It's been six months so what was I doing during those six months. How did I get here? We finally got some ice cream and luckily I had some money in my pocket.

We went back to the park with our ice cream and sat down on one of the benches. We sat there for a long time and talked about anything that came to out minds. Suddenly Henry said something that surprised me a little, "Have you ever felt like you've forgotten something?"
