20 parts Ongoing She cannot remember,
but he can.
She remembers none of it, but he remembers all of it.
She might have forgotten him, but he never has.
He swore his life to her, and he plans on fulfilling his promise.
I can't remember my life before the sharp screams and cries of people calling for help. Every time I try to recall my childhood, I come out empty-handed, my brain a canvas painted in red, with nothing on it but the image of my dad's lifeless body lying down on the cold tiles of the hospital, crimson seeping out of his wounds, his green eyes begging me to go, to run away. Every time I push myself to exhaustion trying to remember what happened afterward who helped me, who hid me away from the shooter, who saved me and not my dad, I want to scream at them to tell them that they should've gotten him and not me, that he was worth saving and I was not, he was a great man with ambitions and I am a broken girl who can't get passed her father's death, a pathetic girl who cries herself to sleep behind closed doors, how could I move on when I haven't gotten passed that day because I can't recall any of it; some people would say that it's a blessing but it's quite the opposite, the guilt of forgetting is worse than anything, the feeling of being in the dark ships at my heart every time I open my eyes in the mornings, when I think about that day or at least the remainder of it all, I always come up with on conclusion, he should've lived and I should've died
