19. Before You Know It

29th November 2014

"I'll be here when you get back," I told Luke as he packed his bag for LA,

"I'm glad you decided to take the leave,"

"5 months is going to be a long time but I should be okay," I laughed,

"Just try to remember stuff and get used to everything again okay baby? Don't push yourself, Aimee is here if you need her and so are the other girls," Luke said,

"I know,"

"I'll be back before you know it," He said kissing my forehead,

"I love you,"

"I love you more,"

"You should go," I said,

"I don't want to but these shows need to be done," He said,

"Go Luke, I'll be fine. I'll call you everyday with updates,"

"Okay, okay. I love you and I'll see you soon,"

"I love you too and I'll see you soon," I said kissing him and pushing him out of the apartment.

I stared at the TV with my mouth open, I was watching How I Met Your Mother and it was the last episode. Ted and Robin.

"Hey," Aimee said walking into the apartment,

"Hi,"

"Is this the last episode?"

"Yeah,"

"Ted-,"

"And Robin!" I shouted excitedly, she laughed and sat down on the couch next to me taking some popcorn from the bowl I had on my lap,

"So are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'm starting to remember some stuff. Like when Luke told me he loved me properly he was pushing me on a swing and I kept screaming because I was so high up," I laughed,

"Do you remember what happened after that?"

"I kicked him and he fell over," I laughed, she smiled,

"You two are made for each other,"

"You think?" I asked,

"Yeah, you both laugh at the same things and you argue about the stupidest stuff but it's entertaining seeing you both get worked up,"

"I love him,"

"Did you know that when you woke up?" She asked,

"I looked at him and my heart skipped a beat. Like literally I was hooked up to a heart monitor and it skipped a beat, Luke didn't notice though," I answered,

"That's cute,"

"You and Michael,"

"I'm sorry about the cheating thing," She said,

"It's fine, I remember it but I can't remember the pain," I told her,

"You can't remember the pain?"

"No, it's a blank," I laughed looking at her quickly.

"Remember anything today baby?" Luke asked as we spoke on the phone,

"I remembered the names of everyone. I remembered finding out Michael had cheated and remembered you telling me you loved me,"

"You did?"

"By the swing set,"

"Then you kicked me," He mumbled, I laughed,

"I remembered that too and I fell off of the couch laughing,"

"You're lucky I love you,"

"I am very lucky," I said smiling,

"I'll be home soon,"

"I know,"

"I gotta go, rehearsals," He said,

"Don't bang your head," I joked,

"Too soon," He said,

"Too soon," I agreed.
