You were sitting in your bed.  You looked at our journal and started writing:

Dear Diary,

It's been weird lately.  Jonathan, even though he doesn't remember, he is starting to act different.

I mean, he's less mean to me and is more caring. But, I don't know if I should believe if its true or not.  He hasn't insulted me, he doesn't even irritate me by poking my waist nor tapping his pencil when I'm trying to study during free period.  During P.E when we play sports usually he would embarrass me or hit me with some kind of ball but nothing.  And lately Christian has been acting extra caring to me too.  What is up with these boys?

Crystal is dating Anthony, but its cute.  They are very adorable, but its scary how that guy always eats with us during lunch.  He's an intimidating person, but he loves Crystal, I can tell by the way he stares at her all the time.

Your thoughts were interrupted when you remembered about the book.  You got up trying to look for it.

"Where did I put it?"

Nathan stared at the book.  The picture of you and him smiling at the age of five.  The two of you were smiling, holding small worms.  He flipped through the pages as he landed on a picture of you and him at the age of eight.

A picture of you holding a trophy for a spelling bee contest, ashe was doing a peace sign next to you.

He flipped through more of the pages as he landed on a picture of you and him during middle school.

Jonathan & Maisy middle school opening. It titled.

Nathan sat down, flipping through the book as more memories of you and him he started to regain. He read through every picture description, from the time you and him were at the amusement park opening, to the picture of you and him with a goat at the petting zoo when you guys were eleven.

His eyes widened as he stared at a picture of you and him with the old couple who owned the ice cream parlor.

Free ice cream from the old married couple!

He turned the page to see a picture of himself kissing you on the cheek.  His eyes grew big, remembering that picture.

Flashback:

"Okay guys smile!" Mrs. James & Mrs. Clark said.

The two of you smiled but at last minute, Jonathan turned, kissing you on the cheek.  Your eyes grew big as you turned to him.

"HEY!" You slapped his shoulder.

"What?" he laughed.

"Jonathan!" Mrs. Clark scolded.

Jonathan hugged you tightly.

"Mom! You like Maisy right? I'm going to marry her when I grow up!"

"and who said I was going to marry you!" You rebeled.

"ME!" he smiled, kissing your check again.

"YAH! Jonathan Clark!" You screamed running after him.

End of Flashback.

Nathan smiled as he flipped to the last page.  He started reading the message.  His eyes glued on the last sentence.

Jonathan, I'll miss you.

He stared at the message remembering how he left you.

Flashback: Jonathan's departure

"Jonathan!" You cried.

"May." Byunghyun said hugging you.

"Don't go please!" You cried.

"I have to.  I'll come back don't worry." he smiled.

"I promise."

The two of you intertwined pinkies together as he kissed your cheek.

"I'll be back before you know it."

End of Flashback.

Nathan's eyes started to tear, as he punched his hands on the book.

"Maisy." He whispered.

He ran downstairs towards the old garage.

"Jonathan honey?" Mrs. Clark said, rushing towards her son.

"What's wrong?"

"Mom, where did you put my old phone?" he asked.

"What?"

"Where is my phone!" he yelled.

"It's in the attic."

Mr. Clark came out with the box.  Nathan stared at him.

"Dad." L. Joe whispered.

Mr. Clark walked up to him, handing the box.

"I've kept every item that Maisy had given you." he said.

Nathan took the box, laying it on the floor as he opened it.  His old phone that was stained with blood was there.  He took it, turning it on.  As the phone finished loading, the same picture he had as his wallpaper from the accident of you and him was still there.  Tears ran down his eyes, your face became familiar almost too familiar.

"Mom, Dad." He whispered.

"Do you remember now?" his father asked.

Nathan cried, as he couldn't forgive himself for what he had done to you.

"I made her life a living hell." he said.

"No you didn't." Mrs. Clark said calming her son down.

"Eomma, you didn't know what I did to her! I teased her, I injured her! I did everything possible to ruin her life and now she probably hates me!" he yelled.

"You might have hurt her Nathan, but Jonathan didn't", his dad said.

'He's right. The Jonathan in the past never hurt her.' he thought.

"But what if she won't?" he asked.

"Not if you tell her you love her." Mr. Clark said.

Nathan looked up at his father.

"I know deep down, you're still the same Jonathan who loved Maisy with all your heart." Mrs. Clark smiled.

Jonathan nodded.  He ran up the stairs.  He took the book and your necklace rushing out of the house.
