Dear Greer,
I finally remember you.
The day I hustled you at the tennis court.
The day I told you about April.
The day you actually made me feel better with all that was going down. Just shortly before you caught me making out with Kieran.
The day I tried to apologize because you looked so hurt (at that moment I didn't realize that wasn't the only reason I wanted to apologize).
Later that day, when I admitted in front of my sister and her friends that I had feelings for you.
And their encouragements to talk to you.
And how I went to you and I told you that I didn't want you to hate me. How you said that you don't.
Our first kiss.
How you visited Natalie with me and got drugged.
How my mother caught us making out on my bed.
How I finally ended things with Kieran and we got official.
How your parents wanted us to break up, because I was a bad influence. When the truth was that you made me a better person. You are way too strong to be influenced by such a weak girl, that I was.
How that place on the meadow is our place.
How the tree has our initials engraved.
How we went to homecoming. I knew how badly you wanted to go, so I got over myself and asked you out. Even though I don't like dresses and balls it was one of the most amazing evenings in my life.
How we got into our first fight. I had so much to do since I started trying to pass classes (see, I said you bring out the best in me) and stay the night with April that I forgot our date. You were so angry and we accused each other of the stupidest things. But every couple fights sometime, it only made my love for you stronger.
How thanksgiving came and my mom invited you to the big Carver family thanksgiving. April managed to get out of the hospital for the night, so we all were there. Grandma, mom, April, Beth, Leo, Uncle George and you. You offered to make pie, so we made one together. I made such a mess, you must've regretted letting me help, in the end you had more work than if I didn't help.
How your parents started realizing that I am important to you and we wouldn't stop seeing each other, so they actually started trying to accept me and invited me for dinner when they were actually there. It may have been so damn awkward, but they actually tried to be nice.
How Christmas came and I searched for the perfect gift. When I found it I was so nervous, what if you didn't like it? But as you opened the wrappings and saw the dolphin shaped medallion you started to smile. On the inside was a photo of us and a gravure that said "you don't just save dolphins, you also saved me. –B" As you read it, smiling through tears, I knew I found the right gift. Your present for me was just as incredible. You got me this bracelet with charms, one said "together forever" and the other was a key. Turning red, you said "you have the key to my heart".
How we kissed on New Year's Eve and swore that this year would be great.
How on Valentine's Day I surprised you with a trip to the seaside and took you to that restaurant. We took a long walk on the sea and spent the night at a hotel. That was when I first realized, I couldn't imagine a life without you.
March came and we wanted to watch a movie at your place so I took the car and drove to you. I didn't even saw the car coming, I just recognised something slamming in the passenger's door. Guess I can be happy that it didn't hit the driver's side, then I would be dead now. The next thing I know is me waking up in the hospital. Mom told me they wouldn't let you in, all you could do was wait outside. But it probably didn't make any difference after grandma told you, I couldn't remember anything, or anyone for that matter.
When I saw you again in school, you looked so hurt, but I didn't know who you were, all I knew was, that there was more to you than just one apparently pink-loving girl. I met you at our place, but as soon as you saw me, you turned around and walked away.
But now, I remember you.
You're still avoiding me, so I'm writing you a letter, hoping there is still an "Us".
Please, I love you. I love how you smile and your dimples. I love how you love eco club. I love how you were strong when I wasn't. I love how you made me a better person. I love how you still smiled, even as you lost our tennis match. I love how you got excited like a little child, when your parents got home for Christmas and we could celebrate together. I love how you talk. I love how you walk. I love everything about you.
Please, take me back. I love you.

This is my first fanfic ever, (so i'm basically also new to the community) i just tried. Im thinking about making a longer story based on this one-shot/letter, i just thought i should probably start with something short. Hopefully i don't suck this much at writing english (i hope you get the reference, otherwise i feel dumb :))
