Chapter 10

Alyssa's POV:

Pogue stood up. I ran over and hugged him.

"Pogue!" I yelled, running up to give him a hug. He stepped back. Please don't tell me I'm still in this alternate reality place. It can't be! I made it out! I was strong!

"Who are you?" he asked. "Where am I?"

"Pogue, what are you talking about? It's me Alyssa!" I yelled.

"Pogue? That's me?" he asked, looking at me confused.

I nodded. "Please Pogue. You have to remember me!" I practically begged.

"I- I'm sorry. I don't." he said. I felt like I was going to throw up. I stumbled back onto the couch next to Jayden. My blank stare matched hers. I couldn't cry. I wouldn't. Not again. Not after Jayden and her mom. She lost her only family. And here I am, on the verge of tears, because my boyfriend has amnesia. She's just a kid. She lost all she had. What does that say about the kind of person I am? It says I'm a weak person, that's what it says. I can't move. Jayden and I probably look like wax figures, right next to each other, with our blank stares. The people around me are talking talking talking, but I have no idea what they're saying. I cry on the inside. I sob and scream on the inside. But my body does nothing.

Somehow, I managed to get to my room. I managed to walk up the stairs. I managed to put on my pajamas. I managed to turn out the light. I managed to get into the bed. But I did not however, manage to close my eyes and sleep. I walked down the back steps and into the kitchen. I had to stifle a scream when I noticed a tired Jayden sitting on a stool at the counter. I sighed.

"Hungry?" I asked, opening the freezer.

She didn't say anything, just nodded. I figured she was. We had both skipped dinner. I took out 2 bowls and set to work on making the most perfect sundaes in the world. I added excess amounts of ice cream to both bowls. (The amount of ice cream in that bowl was more than anyone should eat in a week!) I added whipped cream, hot fudge and caramel sauce, 4 crushed up oreos (double stuf, ofcourse), one of those long thin fancy French cookies, and finally to top it all off, three cherries. I grabbed two metal spoons (because plastic ones would most definitely break) and stuck them into the sundae. I set one in front of Jayden. We both ate all of it. Sometimes, the only way to fix things was to eat too much ice cream and cry. And cry. And cry. So that's what we did. We finally went to sleep at about 4:30. I didn't wake up until one. When I did wake up, I noticed a sleeping Jayden lying next to me. I smiled and carefully rolled out of my bed, so as to not wake her up.

"Good morning" my brother greeted me. "You slept late. But then again, you were up all night."

"How'd you know?" I said defensively.

"Well Alyssa," he said in his, I-know-all-bow-down-and-worship voice. "I know you well enough to know that you couldn't sleep. And plus, I can go into your mind, remember? You gotta love those magical brother-sister bonds, huh?"

I glared at him. Or atleast I tried to. Glaring takes a lot of energy. Energy I don't have in the morning. Well, in the afternoon I should say. After just waking up I mean. I walked into the dining room. Mom had the table set for all of us for breakfast. Jayden walked in about 10 minutes later. She wiped her eyes and sat down, grabbing a bunch of food. We were both starving, even after yesterday's late night snack.

Sky had been up since 8:30 and helped mom make breakfast. Jayden and me exchanged bored looks as we ate in silence. Pogue was even there, but I could tell he was still confused. He ate his pancakes quietly and stared at them contently. I wonder if he remembered what pancakes were. I know me and Pogue weren't as close as Jayden and Lily, but there was one thing that made all this even worse. I had done this. It was all my fault. I hurt him. I could have killed him. Yeah, several blows to the head can do that. I thought all hope was lost, and that he would never remember anything. Until about a week later.

"Caleb!" I heard someone yell. "Caleb, Caleb, Caleb!" I flopped out of bed and followed the noise. "Caleb, Caleb, Caleb!" I heard it again. The noise was coming from Pogue's room. He was smiling.

"Caleb." He stated. "I know Caleb!" everyone was in the room by now, except for Jayden. She is the heaviest sleeper in the world, I swear.

He pointed to Caleb. "I remember you!" he yelled excitedly.

A week later, Reid and Tyler. Then Sarah, my mom. His family. He didn't remember me. A few days later, he asked a question that made me lose all hope. Sky and Caleb went somewhere or another, quickly followed by Sarah, who wouldn't leave them alone together for a second (but, then again, can you blame her?). Reid and Tyler had taken Jayden to the store with them to get snacks and stuff, and my mom went to go hang out with some of her old lady friends, so we were all alone.

"Do I… have, like, a girlfriend or something?" he asked.

I coughed and there was an awkward silence. "I- uh. I um I…" I answered.

"Well, do I? Or don't you know?" he asked.

"I um… you should remember things on your own I think." I said stupidly.

"You don't even have to tell me her name, I just want to know if I do or not…"

"I- uh, yeah. Yeah, you do."

"Is her name- is her name Kate?" he asked. "I remember knowing a girl named Kate."

"No!" I yelled. "No, I am! I'm your girlfriend!"

"Of course!" He realized. And he kissed me and I kissed back, so glad that he finally remembered.

Except for, no. That last part never happened. And he didn't remember me, and I never told him. What really happened was much more amazing.

I swallowed hard and but my lip.

"No, no, that wasn't her." I said.

"Are you sure? I think I feel some kind of emotion towards her, but I don't think its love." He said.

I coughed again, and he finally got the hint. He turned back to the television, but I never took my eyes off of him. He finally noticed me staring at him.

"I didn't remember you yet… I did know you right?" he asked. "I mean, you look so familiar, but I- I just cant seem to remember who you are…"

And that's when I start sobbing. Like seriously sobbing uncontrollably. I fell into his arms, without thinking, and he held me tightly. I practically forgot about his amnesia. He pulled my chin upward, just the way he used to, and he kissed me.

"You remember me?" I asked

He shook his head. "No, but I know that I love you. I don't know how I could forget you. You're absolutely perfect." He kissed me again.

"I love you, Alyssa."

"I love you too."

He remembered who I was about three days later, but that didn't matter much. We loved each other no matter what. Lily however had still not returned. Jayden lived at my mom's for a while, and was enrolled into Spencer's while I finished college. Sarah and Caleb never got married, if you didn't guess that already. He was in love with someone else. Can you guess who? That's right! Our one and only SKY! Her and Caleb live together now, and got married a little while ago. Pogue and me are engaged, but not married quite yet. He gained all of his memory back a while ago. So I suppose all is well in my little Alyssa-world. I don't think that'll ever change. But you know what they say about me. Seven years later, still the same.
