Chapter 19

*One year later*

Today I turn 19. I lay in bed awake and decide whether or not to get up. Matt bursts through my door with a tray in hand. On the tray lies an orange juice and a plate full of blueberry pancakes.

"Hey babe, good morning. "

"Morning," I say as I rub the sleep from my eyes.

Matt doesn't mention my birthday as he walks out of the room. I turn on Netflix and begin to watch 90210 for the fifth time. Three hours later I finally decide to get up for a shower. I turn on the shower and get in. As I'm washing my hair, I feel a hand on my back and I jump slightly. I turn around to find Matt with his lips puckered.

"Sorry babe, I couldn't resist. Put on something nice. We have a lot of stuff to do," he says with a smirk.

I pull on a black skater dress with my white high top converse. I straighten my hair and do my makeup into a natural look. When I jump off the staircase into the foyer, Matt stands waiting.

"Well you look nice," he says with a kiss to my cheek.

"Why thank you," I say with a wink, "I try."

When we get in the car he turns on the top 100 playlist and start jamming. He grabs my hand and rolls down all the windows including the sun roof. The first place we pull up to turns out to be a small diner, the one where we very first met with my parents and his. I have no clue how I remembered this. A flashback jumps into my head. I begin crying and Matt notices. He runs around the car, pulls me out, sits down in the passenger seat, and pulls me on his lap.

"What's wrong love ?"

"I remember Matt. I remember my parents, you, my life. I remember, and I don't want to remember," I whisper.
