I'll Remember

Chapter 11

I had been outside for hours.
The sky was becoming a dark blue and I was still not home.
Mostly because I didn't know the way, and mostly because I didn't want to go back there.

I had found a track, and I just walked around it for a couple of times.
I notice when I walk my mind gets a little bit more clear.
Outside makes my mind allitle bit more clear.
I like outside.

I've also decided, to pretend that whatever I saw In Micah's room, never happend.

I was sitting on the grass on the middle of the track and stared at the sky, until it got dark enough for the pole lights around it to turn on.

"I should head back." I said to my self with a sigh.

A second later I heard Joy's voice. "Yea, you should. It's getting really dark."
I didn't remove me eyes from the sky. The dark cloudy sky. Almost like my mind.
"I don't really want to." I mumble.

Joy sat in front of me and looked up at the sky too.
"How long have you been out here?" Joy asked a moment after silence.

I sigh. "Who knows...hours, maybe."
"Why did you come here?"

Joy smiled." Kinda looking for you." She shrugged.

"Why?"

"Micah, told me to talk to you." She said now looking at me.

My eyes met hers."How did you know, I'd be here?" I ask.

Joy didn't say anything for a while.
" Actually," She started.

"You used to come here, allot."

I did?

"...We used to."
She added with a slight smile.
We, huh?
"So...was I your boyfriend?" I ask. Maybe I would've been nervous asking this question.
But I'm not caring about anything right now, actually.
I just want answers. Maybe, finally, maybe I'll be able to get a real answer.

Joy looked back at the sky.
" Yea...You were." She sighed.
"Sorry..,,I lied."

I didn't say any thing for a while. Just satisfied.
I finally got a real answer. I know it's real.
Many reasons for that.

"Don't be." I sighed.

We're all liars.

Neither of us said a word for a while.
It was silent except for the faint noise of cars in the distance.

I stood up and brushed the grass off of my shorts.

"Okay, let's go then" I said holding my hand out to her.

She smiled and grabbed it. I lifted her up and our hands never let go of eachother. From the track, until we had to go our separate ways.

It was 8 when I was back home.
Didn't look like dad was home yet.
But Micah was standing in the kitchen leaning on the counter, and looking at his phone.

What is he doing?

"So, how'd it go?" Mic asked. "You asked her to come talk to me," I said. "Why?"

Micah looked up at me. "Because, I'm your brother, your going through somthing, she's your girlfriend."

"Was...was my girlfriend. I don't know what she is right now, but why didn't you just come your self?"

"I didn't feel like it, plus Joy came over to see you. But, I'm sorry I lied." Mic sighed.
"Why did you lie?" I ask the question I didn't ask Joy.

"Joy, didn't want me to tell you, or Dallas. She wanted to...I don't know, start over." Mic shrugged and turned off his phone. "When you got into the accident, Joy visited you. Every day. I don't think she expected you to lose your memory."

Micah stood straight."None of us did. But Joy, is still your girlfriend."
He walked back toward the door.
"Your password." He said. "It's, Joyfull687, no caps."
And with that, he walked into his room, closing the door behind him.

Joyfull?

As soon as I got in my room I quickly grabbed my old phone and typed the words in quickly.

It unlocked.

My home screen was a picture of Joy, Dallas, and me at what seemed to be an amusement park.

I had at least over 100 notifs and missed calls, from four months ago.
Wow.
I didnt want to look through the whole phone. There would be memories...ones I won't remember.
So I just turned it off, and put it on top of my dresser.
I'll leave it alone.

Ship name???🙊👀👌💜⛵
