It had been a week since Dan was let out of the hospital. Serena had kept her distance. She didn't want to smother him. She felt that maybe if he didn't remember her, then the relationship wasn't that great to him. When he looked at her he saw nothing that day. He knew who she was but didn't remember what she meant to him or vice versa. It's like it was a big joke and the laugh was on her.

"S, you have to leave this room."

"What's the point? He doesn't know me. He doesn't remember us." Serena kept stressing that point.

"Your mom wants to see you. They say Dan wants to give every option a shot."

"Oh how nice. He has pity for me."

"Maybe he's scared."

"Jenny, I'm scared. I could lose him forever."

"I don't want to be rude but I could lose a whole year with him. He's my family. We're been through everything, and you're worried he may not love you? He loved you years before you went out, and he'll love you again."

"Jenny, I'm sorry, but how can you be so sure?."

"You should be sorry. My brother remembers a fight we had, more than the good times we had. As far as remembering you, think of it this way, he's forgotten all the crap you two put each other through. You get to start fresh."

Jenny wiped a tear away and stormed out of the room. She just didn't get why Serena didn't make Dan try more. She knew that Serena could be the one person to shake Dan from this. As Jenny turned down the steps, she saw Serena following. Serena told her mother that should would be out for the rest of the day. Her and Jenny got into the town car and headed to the loft.

Serena stood in front of the loft door. She was in a dead stare. She had forgotten everything she wanted to say. All the perfect words escaped her. Jenny pulled on Serena's bag and signaled her to go in. Dan was sitting on the couch. He looked through yearbooks and photo albums. He only forgotten the past year but wanted to see if anything old would spark something.

"Jenny, I can't." Serena whispered.

"But you can. You have to."

"I can hear you both." Dan yelled.

"Hi Dan." Serena said as she peaked her head through the door. She made her way to the couch and sat in a chair near Dan.

"Hi Serena. You come here to jog my memory?"

"I guess. Maybe talking will help."

"Sure. Tell me what a bore I was to be around and how you dated me only cause I was amazing in bed." Dan laughed.

"More so you're charm and...let's say honesty." Serena started up the banter.

"Well I want to say sorry for the way I reacted at the hospital. I was shocked."

"It's fine. We were all a bit out of it."

There was a few moments of silence. Conversation didn't roll right off the tongue like it use to things changed.

"Vanessa told me a few things. I guess you guys are friends?"

"More like people who breathe the same air around you."

"It must of been hot you two fighting over me. My dashing good looks must of drawn you both to me."

"You picked me without a second thought." Serena gigled. Atleast he didn't lose his wit.

"Wow Dan. Should of offered the threesome to the two girls." Dan laughed at himself.

They laughed for a few short moments. They traded glances. Dan was trying to read her, see if anything was there.

"I found some notes and pictures from you. I guess nothing happened yet."

"In time it will." Serena nodded.

"Can you really wait? I mean it may takes months or even years. I don't remember us ever going out. I mean I remember meeting you at a party, and I can tell I have feelings for you. And I'm probably an idoit for not just acting on them."

"You just want to be sure what we have is real, that's all."

"You could be off with another guy or living your life, instead of being tied down to a guy who can't remember how it feels to hold you."

"I can wait. You're worth it."
