I'll never forget you Jace Norman

A plan

Ashley's pov
I woke up and knew what was today. I was going to school. Apparently neither Jamie or Jace went to this school so I would be alone. I got dressed and left. It was like being the new girl except I had been there before. Jace had to go back to work and Jamie had to go back to school, but summer break was a couple of weeks away. I had to be driven to school and everyone stared at me. All the teachers and students were informed of my memory problem. Everyone stared. Probably because I was a completely different person than the one they knew. People helped me throughout the day, but I didn't feel like any of them were really my friends. They just felt bad for me. I went home and found out that I had more therapy.
A couple of weeks later.
Jace and Jamie came home and we all went out. I may not remember them but they seemed like great friends. We went to get ice cream. As we are they wouldn't stop smiling. "Okay what?" I said. "Okay. So we've been spreading you story about your legs and memory and it spread fast. So we organized a walk in your honor in LA! It's a fundraiser to continue your therapy and help you recover!" Jamie said excitedly. "That's awesome! But are people interested. "Oh yeah! Lots of people have already said that they were coming. And we want you walking in that race with us!" Jace yelled. "But I can't walk." I said. "Not yet. But the race is in a month so you have time to at least get well enough to walk a little bit." They were right. Now if I'm jut around the house, I can just use crutches for support. "Alright. I'm in!" We all celebrated.
Jaces pov
I was so excited Ashley agreed to do the race. She doesn't remember me, but she was still my Ashley. I wanted I kiss her so bad, but I knew that would freak her out because she doesn't remember. For the next couple of weeks she practiced like crazy. She was always working out or stretching or trying something. And Jamie and I were there for her the whole time. We helped her and supported her. This was the Ashley I knew. Even if she didn't know it.
Ashley's pov
Today was the day. Today was the day I would take my first steps by myself in months. Jace and Jamie stood inches from me ready to catch me. My mother watched us like she would cry. I sat in my chair. "You ready to do this?" Jace asked. "Now or never right?" I said then I slowly pushed myself out of the chair. I was standing. Then I picked up a leg and took a step. Then another. I almost fell but I caught myself. I was walking! "I'm doing it!" I yelled. "Your so ready for that race!" Jamie yelled. She as right. I don't remember anything but I can now walk at least. My memory is the next step.
The day of the race.
Today was the day. I got out of bed and I carefully stepped over to my drawers. I got an outfit. I put on some jean shorts and a pink lose t shirt that said "unstoppable." I went downstairs and sat at the table. "You ready?" Asked my mom. "Yeah." I said quietly. "What is it?" She asked. "It's just that all these people are doing all these nice things for me and I don't even remember them!" I started to cry. "Hey, sweetheart it's okay! I know your nervous and it's hard not knowing who you are, but you can do this, and you will remember!" She said and I smiled. We left and picked up Jace and Jamie. We drove to the race and all these people were there. There must have been thousands of people. "There all here for me?" I asked. "Yep! All of these people believe in you!" Jace said and held my hand. Sparks went through me. I really like Jace. No wonder I dated him! We got out and went over and signed in and everything then Jace came over to me. "Hey, so um I found this and it's yours so I thought you would want it." He pulled out a locket out of his pocket and put it around my neck a walked away. I opened it and everything hit me.
Flashbacks
Hi. I'm Ashley, I'm 13 and I've lived in California my entire life. In case you haven't noticed already I'm pretty boring. I mean, sure I play sports and music and stuff, but other than that I'm pretty average. There is absolutely nothing special about me.

"So I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come to the carnival on Saturday with me?" He seemed kind of nervous. "Uh sure! Is Jamie going to come?" I asked even though I kind of knew the answer. "Um no. She won't be there. Is that ok?" He wouldn't look me in the eye. "Yeah that's totally cool!" Saved it! Oh no! Is this a date? Does he really like me? Do I like him? We've been friends for years and this has never been a problem. "You never know. Maybe I'll win you a giant stuffed panda." He joked. "I think it's more likely that I'll win you one!" We started laughing again. "You have a beautiful laugh." He said then turned bright red. "Um. I mean not like in a weird way! I'm just saying you don't have a donkey laugh! Yeah! Thats what I meant!" He blurted out. "Um thank you?"

"Do you want to come in? We have food!" I asked. "No I gotta get home." He smiled at me. "I had fun tonight Jace." I said. "I did too. Do you maybe want to go out again sometime? Like on a date?" He asked. "Wasn't this a date?" I asked. "I don't know was it?" He asked. "I think it was." I said. "Then it was a date! The truth is Ashley, I really like you. Like, a lot." He said looking down. I took his hand and he looked at me. "Jace, I really like you too. Like, a lot."

"I, um, I got you something." He let go of me and I tired to stop him. "No Jace. You don't have to give me anything. You already gave me this night and I'll never forget it." He ignored me and said, "Well that's just too bad because I got you this and your going to have it. Whether you want it or not." He pulled out s box and opened it. I took out a silver charm bracelet with an A and a J attached to it along with an Eiffel Tower and a panda. He put it on me. "I got this to remind you of good times we have together. I will get more charms for more memories we have together." I didn't think I'd ever be able to wipe the smile off of my face. "There is one catch." I looked suspiciously at him. "Ashley Summer, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me! He really asked me! Oh! I have to answer. The only thing I could think to say was. "We're going to need more chains for all the memories we're going to have! Yes!" He looked like he wanted to jump up and down with excitement. I did too. We hugged then he started to lean in. I did too, but then I stopped. "What's wrong?" He asked. "This will sound stupid, but this is my first kiss. What if I do it wrong? What if I'm the worst kisser in the world?" It sounded really stupid out loud. "Are you really worried about how well you kiss? I don't care if you kiss like a dog." He leaned in pressed his lips to mine. It was perfect.
End of flashbacks
I remember everything! Jace has been there for me forever! I love him! "Jace!" I yelled and he spun around. Out of nowhere I jumped up and ran into his arms. I kissed him. "I remember you Jace! I remember everything! I love you! Don't ever forget that!" He looked shocked then he yelled. "Ashley, you just ran!" I looked and realized that I was standing like I always did. I was fine! "I'm better! I can walk or run or do anything!" I started crying am I kissed Jace over and over. Everyone started clapping. I hugged Jamie and my parents. Then we walked the race. I still had to go to therapy, but this race raised so much money that we could afford it! I finally felt free. I finally felt like this was the end of this journey. I had survived, and now this was my reward.
