PRESENT DAY
7 days after the accident.
"Been a while" I say while taking a seat beside Michael in the hospital's waiting area "where have you been?"
"I had other things I had to take care of" he says while looking straight ahead "I can't babysit you every day.."
"Oh right" I say and mirror his actions, if he wasn't going to look at me, I wasn't going to look at him either.
"No questions today?" He says while smiling.
"I do actually!" I say excitedly and turn towards him before I could stop myself to see him staring at me with an amused look in his eyes. He was as beautiful as ever, looking at him rendered me speechless for a minute...well not actually a minute, maybe like a few seconds.
"So, I'm not the only one that has been in this situation...right?"
"Yes"
"So, how come I've not heard stories about things like this happening to other people?"
"That is because they don't remember"
"How can something like this happen to them and they don't remember?"
"Grimm's can control two aspects of a mortal, mind and soul...your body is left behind when you leave...so when..." he pauses before turning away from me "if you wake up, you won't remember any of this.."
"What happens if I don't " I say taking his hand "wake up I mean...do I remember all of this, do I remember you?" I ask and he turns towards me and nods.
"Yes, you do.."
"Is there a way to make me remember?"
"No...there is no way"
"So I wouldn't remember all the visits and everything that happened?"
"You will remember the visits, bits and pieces of it, you will remember hearing them speak to you but you will not remember me" he says the last part looking me in the eyes and that's when I came to a conclusion.
I like Michael Grimm.
Oh shit.
Before I could puzzle it out he was gone-typical.
I couldn't like Michael he was the fucking Grimm reaper, what if he's just messing with my mind like he said, and like a dumbfuck I'm falling into his trap.
Gawd I'm so stupid.
What if it's just an illusion, what if he's making me think that I like him-it wouldn't be the first time.
What if?

August,2016
"Get the fuck out of my apartment jerk!" Lola screams at someone who I'm assuming is Jayden "this is trespassing, I will call the cops on you creep!"
"I just want to talk to her..."
"Well...she doesn't want to talk to you" she shouts at him "get out!"
It's been a week since I kneed Jayden West in the balls and I've been avoiding him ever since. I have skipped training (which is really bad), I have stayed indoors as much as I can and eaten a lot of ice-cream (which is also bad) but right now I couldn't be bothered.
I heard a crash and decided it was time to face him before Lola gets sent to jail for murder, I come out to see Lola holding her tennis racket about to whack him in the head and our vase on the floor that I suspect she had broken with her racket. That explains the crash I heard earlier.
"Lola... stop!" I say before she could inflict more damage on poor Jayden.
"Seriously?" She says still holding up her racket "because I don't mind... it's actually one of my fantasies...I've always wanted to hit him with my tennis racket..."
"No seriously, stop...aren't you supposed to be at practice.."
"Yeah...but I'll cancel, no way am I leaving this creep alone with you" I go towards her and start to push her outside but she doesn't budge "no...no... no" she says until I succeed in pushing her out.
"I'm a big girl" I tell her before closing the door in her face.
"Elly" Jayden says and I immediately turn back to look at him.
"What's up?" I say before taking a seat on the couch and gesturing for him to do the same on another couch.
"You look beautiful, as always" he says after taking a seat and I can't help the blush that stains my cheek after his comment.
"Why are you here?"
"What do you mean, why am I here?" He says running his hands through his hair in frustration "you haven't been picking my calls, I went to your training ground and asked after you and they said you were home sick- you never get sick!"
"True"
It's one of the reasons I put up with eating all that healthy crap although that's probably going to change because I've been eating a lot of ice-cream lately.
"And I concluded you've been avoiding me"
No shit, Sherlock.
"Why are you avoiding me? I'm sorry about our arguments, all couples fight, that's no reason to stop talking to me.." he says and I look away, he walks over to me, bends down to my eye level and takes my hands in his.
"I'm sorry for pressuring you, it's just that I've been celibate for a long time and it's just hard, I really want to make love to you, I want us to be together like that..."
"I'm sorry I can't give you what you want" I say and he wipes the tears coming out of my eyes.
"I'm the one who's sorry, you told me before we started dating, I shouldn't have pressured you, will you forgive me?" he says while staring at me with hope in his eyes.
"I forgive you Jay" I say and he smiles up at me with joy shinning in his eyes.
"Really?"
"Really"
"Then marry me" he says and I pull my hands out of his.
"You know I can't"
"If it's about your career...we don't have to have kids now...we will always use protection"
"I suppose..."
"So?"
"My parents would never allow me get married now..."
"We could elope"
"Elope?"
"Yeah...you could take a year off and come back, ask for their forgiveness, your parents love you, they will forgive you"
"I suppose..."
"It's a plan then...everybody wins" he says before smacking his lips on mine, I forget everything and lean into the kiss.
It is a plan.
