joeys pov;

i don't think i've ever been more nervous than i have in this moment.

i'm meeting with malu, but not exactly how i wanted to for the first time since she said she had no idea who i was, which shattered my heart into pieces.

she has no idea how much i love her. but i cant tell her all that now.

if we're being honest, she still doesn't remember me.

all of the sudden, she came in through the front doors of the tiny café looking like a goddess.

her eyes met mine and she sat down next to me.

'control yourself joey'

'don't say anything you don't mean to say, joey. you'll regret it'

i had to keep repeating these phrasing in my head, trying not to screw up again.

"hi," she started off the conversation.

it was awkward to say the least, but the waiter came by and took our order.

after he left, i decided i should start be conversation.

"we should've told you when you woke up. but something really dangerous could've happened to you and you passed out a minute after i left. but we never should've kept any of that stuff from you. i wanted to tell you everything, i promise. but you didn't remember and i promised loren i wouldn't because it would hurt you, but i should've."

"you're right. i deserved to know. but i wanna say sorry for hurting you. i didn't remember you then and to be quite honest, i still don't really know who you are. all i heard from fans is that i broke your heart, but...," she started. she sounded heartbroken that she didn't remember me.

"it's not your fault you don't remember. yeah it's pretty sad, but i don't hate you for not remembering. let me jog your memory alittle bit though?" i asked her.

she nodded softly.

i started telling her about everything. we just sat there for two hours and i poured my heart out.

i couldn't talk about any of this to anyone for two years. i was drowning inside of my thoughts and i finally feel rescued.

"wow," she said.

it's already nine pm; we've been sitting here for about five hours now, just talking.

she looks at her watch and picks up her leather jacket.

"i should get going," she says standing up.

"do you remember anything at all?" i whisper.

she just shakes her head.

i feel alittle bit of my heart break.

malus pov;

as i walk outside to my car, i try not to start crying in the middle of the busy block.

joey stayed back at the cafe to pay for the bill but i couldn't stay any longer.

i didn't just remember anything;

i remember everything.

every little bit he told i could imagine.

and i think i'm in love with joey birlem.
