Johnny looked around the bar, when he had entered Jake's everyone had stared at him... probably hearing the news of the accident. Johnny had been in a very serious car accident and had been in a coma for a few weeks...with barely any memory of anything. Ethan Lovett had basically caught him up to speed on everything/everyone in his life but, there hadn't been a spark of anything so far.
"Johnny?" He heard a soft voice speak, sounding like the voice of an angel. When the male glanced up from his thoughts, he was met with the image of a blonde haired woman with bright hazel eyes, a soft look in her eyes when she had uttered his name... something about her was familiar. An unsure smile eventually made its way onto her lips, as she stood behind the empty seat in front of him.
"I'm Lulu, Ethan is my brother. Ugh, who am I kidding? That's not how the hell we know each other, I really need to stop letting people get in my head. I'm sorry I'm blabbing um...you and I dated awhile back, I didn't want to overwhelm you or anything when you were in the hospital. I mean, I visited you but you were still in a coma." Lulu sighed slightly wincing, wondering if she was making a fool out of herself.
"Maybe that's why you seem familiar... because we dated. I may not remember you or anything else right now but, I wouldn't have minded seeing you. Ever since I woke up my life has been like a blank piece of paper, I can't place anyone or anything. Nothing has even felt the slightest bit familiar-until I saw you standing in front of me. There's no memories or anything like that but, you just feel like Deja Vu. I don't know how to explain it." Johnny let himself look over her features, he wondered what he had done to mess things up with Lulu.
"At one point...I was all you had. Maybe in a way you still felt like that and I just didn't realize it, you haven't had an easy life. Sometimes I don't know how you're still standing...I'm not even kidding." She softly chuckled sitting in front of him, her breath hitching when she realized that Johnny still held onto her memory just as much as he ever had.
"Lovett's given me the basic laydown of my life, I just don't want to disappoint all of you if my memory never comes back." This was what was on Johnny's mind 24/7.
"Ethan probably forgot to mention me, big goof. Hey, don't worry about that right now. If all you focus on is getting better for everyone else, it's never going to get better. They've gotta come back on there own. Even if you never remember, I won't look at you any different. You'll still be the first man that ever loved me... maybe the only one, at this point." Lulu reached out to touch his hand, the features on her face softening with a soft smile.
"Are you and Lovett close? Thank you, you have no idea how good that is to hear. What do you mean that? I can't be the only man." Johnny held a tender smile for her.
"You still look at me the same way you always have, I'm relieved. I was biting my nails about seeing you again. Ethan and I are the closest out of me and my brothers, we're both just naturally very distant people. The more I look back on my previous relationship...I doubt he ever really loved me, even though I gave him everything I had. I worked three jobs to try and help him but, all I did was exhaust myself for someone who was only going to cheat on me. Multiple times." Lulu slightly smiled clearly still in pain, though she wouldn't cry in front of Johnny.
"You've got a big heart, you're a good woman Lulu. If it's alright with you I'd like to spend more time with you...you're the only person I've been able to connect with. With Lovett it's pretty easy but, with you conversation just flows naturally." Johnny was aching to learn more about her, and any memory the two of them had shared.
"I'd like that. I kind of...miss seeing you around." There was a slight twinkle in her hazel eyes, yet looked sad. Johnny wagers she was thinking about their memories...whatever they might be.
