(A/N: This is really terrible at the beginning but it gets better near the end. I'm sorry it took so long, I've been struggling for inspiration.)
(POV Aphmau)
It's been about two weeks since I got back and I'm trying to go back to life like it was before. I got a job at a local Starbucks but I'm trying to find a better paying job seeing as.....I'm the only one paying the bills now.
Currently, it's Saturday, one of my days off. I'm sitting on the couch, trying to dissociate myself from my surroundings by watching Netflix. I'm glad my friends cope with the aftermath of Starlight better than I do.
Yet again, my friends all have roommates to share their troubles with. I, meanwhile, am all alone. Well..... not entirely. I have Celestia with me and my friends visit me sometimes. They come by when they can, which is not very often. They'll visit maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I don't blame them, though. They all have their own lives.
Well, now that I think about it, there is one person who visits constantly. Gene. He comes by almost every day to make sure I'm ok, drop off food, or just chat. He really has been helping me off my feet. Zenix joined him last Friday and we spent an hour or so playing video games. I try to stay occupied and out of the house, being at work or the park and, when I do come home, giving myself something to focus on so I don't break. Everything here reminds me of Aaron.
My stomach growls at me. I sigh and get up off the couch, heading to the kitchen for lunch. I step into the entrance of the kitchen/ dining room and immediately am hit by a wave of emotion. Memories.
*narrated flashback*
Aaron and I tried making cookies once. Of course, I accidentally knocked flour on his shirt and started a war. There was flour, eggshells and yolks, and chocolate chips all over the place by the time we were done. We spent two hours scrubbing the counters and floors. He had to get on a ladder to get some mess off the ceiling.
*flashback end*
I sniffle and try to contain myself. I grab some pizza from the fridge and heat it up while I fight the tears threatening to break through. I grab the pizza and head back to the living room, but I'm already emotionally weakened by the memory from the kitchen. I break.
*Flashback*
Aaron and I stood in the doorway arguing. That was the night before the Cafe burned down and I blamed him for it. For Irene knows how long afterwards, I just sat on the couch, ate ice cream, watched cheesy romance movies, and cried.
*end Flashback*
The tears break through, burning as they form waterfalls down my face. I blindly reach for my keys and race out of the house, dropping my pizza on the way out. I rush to my car, not even aware of where I'm going. I just need to get away. I need to forget.

(POV 3RD PERSON)
A car screeches into the driveway of the house and a woman runs out, sobbing. She rushes up the walkway and knocks violently on the door. A bright orange head of hair opens the door hesitantly, then swings it inwards, grabbing the woman and pulling her inside, shutting the door hastily.
"Aph, hun, what's wrong?" She asks in a concerned tone.
"Make me forget! I want to forget!" Aphmau shrieks. Lucinda's face stiffens and she fearfully realizes why her friend is here.
"I can't. I'm sorry."
"What do you mean you can't? You're the best witch I know, make me forget!"
