"The land?"

*End of Flashback*

I still remember the first time I met this girl, the girl I used to play with, the girl I used to tease in elementary, the girl I liked in high school. The girl I fell in love with in college. She made me laugh, she made me smile she made fun of me. She picked me up when I was down, the one who loved me the one who never left me.

"Richard.."

I can't forget those happy memories. Those time I got to spend with her all those times that eventually faded.

"Richard.."

"Yeah?" I shook my head looking at my best friend Carter.

"I've been trying to get your attention. Whats wrong?" Carter looked at me worriedly.

There was nothing wrong except Tori had a bad dream last night and she said she dreamt about the guy he loved, and that she should move on. Did she remember me?

"There you go again." He was pacing back and forth. Running a hand through his hair.

"Did you get someone pregnant?!"

"What? No. I just.. Its just." I cant think of the right words.

"Just? Just what? You have to tell me Richard." Now he was frantically waiting for my reply.

"Carter. I'm still in love with her. Up until now. It never changed."

"In love with?" A girl spoke from a distance.

Turning my head back to meet Tori's gaze. "Who is she?" She asked her face was blank. Was she trying to hide her emotions? Because I can see from her eyes that something is wrong.

"What are you doing here?" I asked not knowing how to answer her question.

"I came by to tell you about the wedding details, Paolo dropped by the house and he wanted to ask you questions." Tori answered with her voice cracking was she hurt?

"I'll come over later I was discussing something important to Carter about the company."

And before I finish my sentence she turned around hitting the wooden door.

"Tori, are you okay?" I ran towards her but she was too far for me to catch so she fell on the ground.

"Tori? Are you okay? Tori?" I took her head and rested it on my lap waiting for her to come back to her senses.

"Yeah I'm tori." Is all she said before patting the back of her head straightening her clothes.

"I know you are." I chuckled she sounded like a little kid. Not in an embarrassing way but in an adorable way.

"Who are you? What am I doing here?"

I looked at Carter worriedly and then back to Tori. Did she forget me again? Did she forget about everything again?
