HAPPY EASTER!!!! 

Aaron's POV

*Play Song*

Remember

The ability to think of a thing or an event that has previously occurred.

An ability not appreciated as much as it should.

Sadly, I would know.

I point at the picture, gesturing her to look.

She diverts her attention momentarily, then goes back to staring out the window.

I sigh, placing the framed picture down.

"I'm sorry, I just don't remember......" She responds, not meeting my gaze.

I graze the frame, biting my lip.

I'm not giving up just yet.

"C'mon" I say, resisting to grab her hand.

She follows solemnly, unlike her usual perky self.

**********************

I reach into one of the boxes in the attic, retrieving a small cloth.

I place in her hands, praying silently in my head.

She caresses the red bandanna in her fingers, obviously focusing.

Her eyes begin watering, she grips the bandanna harder.

"I'm sorry........I'm sorry..." She says, her voice breaking.

"You don't have to be sorry Aph...." I assure, resisting the urge to wrap my arms around her.

What else......

What else.....

Wait....

**************

I pull the car into the parking lot, my brain ticking like a time bomb.

My brain is like a grenade

Because if this doesn't work.........

I will explode.....

Please Irene.....

We walk through the doors of Phoenix Drop High, our shoes clucking against the tiled floor.

The silence just made it harder.

What if I never get her back?

What if....

We enter the music room.

 I ask her to stand outside the door, while I go into one of the practicing rooms.

The minute I close the door, I hear sniffles.

"Why are you crying?" I ask.

"Huh?" She questions, her voice laced with confusion.

"Why are you crying?"

"I just need someone to talk to right now......Can I trust you?"

"You can trust me"

"Promise?"

"I promise"

"There is this guy..........and......I want to believe what he says is true.....but I don't know if it is...."

"What did he say?"

"........."

"Aph?" 

"There were things he wanted to talk about.....that I just really didn't understand.."

"Like what?"

"his parents....."

Have a nice day my crystals!
