June

I've never been this happy or horrified in my entire life. Right now, walking beside me as we head towards the Ruby Sector is Day, or as he introduced himself, Daniel Wing. My senses went numb the second I saw the announcement up on the board, discussing Eden and Day's return. Then like some twisted joke fate decided to play on me, the boy with the short blonde hair and stunning blue eyes was walking right towards me. It's been so long, too long. I about fainted when we shook hands.

Of course I'm not surprised that Tess would come up with something like this. I've always had the feeling she's never really gotten over the fact that Day remembered her and not me, so she went to try and switch things up. Getting us together on my birthday, having some dinner. It's almost like some sort of blind date. I make a mental note to remind her that Day doesn't know who I am. We haven't talked in ages, he has no recollection of our past, but I can't help myself from wishing I could kiss him.

This in a way makes it even more like a blind date.

There are so many things that have changed about him, but at the same time he's still the Day I was in love with. He's a talker now, going of a mile a minute about Antarctica and the military there and all of the new technology. He can tell I'm being mute at the moment, but he just takes the time to talk even more. As he drags on about the plane ride here, I'm noticing that physically he's still the same. Strong but light on his feet, alert to his surroundings. You would think that after being in a coma he'd lose some muscle, but of course, Day didn't. He's perfect.

It's causing my mind to have a mental break down. I'm so close to word-vomiting all over him. I just want to tell him that we were dating and in love and he forgot about me and I miss him so much and at the moment all I want is for him to kiss the hell out of me. But then I am forced to remind myself that I'll sound insane and he'll most likely file a restraining order, which wouldn't help my case.

About half way to Tess's Eden leaves us to stop at their place and drop off his textbook. Day and Eden have their own apartment in the Ruby Sector, which I have to admit I was a little surprised about. I thought with the loads of money the two of them have now they'd be living a more glamorous life. Not that that's any better. I have a huge apartment to myself (well, myself and Kody) and I think all of the empty space just makes me feel lonelier. Most people would hope that by my age, twenty-seven, I'd have settled down with a nice guy and maybe started a family. I've tried, even gone all of the way with one or two guys, but the second marriage is mentioned I find myself pushing them away.

The only person I want to be with is Day. The only person I've ever wanted to be with is Day. I can't imagine a life with someone else. But once it seemed like he was out of the picture, once I was sure he wouldn't be remembering me anytime soon, I tried dating others. Now that he's here again, I really wish I hadn't.

I wonder if Day dated anyone, if he had the feeling that some part of his life was missing. That kissing someone else just wasn't right. But even as we walk side by side, I fear that that isn't true.

A/N: Sorry for such a long wait! Chapter Two is finally us, and I'm really sorry it took so long. I'm been so busy with volleyball season starting and finally this week. But Christmas break is on its way and I hope to be writing a lot more. Thanks for reading and please, spread the word!
