Story of Us

Hannah's POV

"Ok, ok, I'll tell you," I said.

"Yes, please!!" Sam replied.

"It all started in middle school. He was so lonely, without any friends. I was lonely too, with no friends of my own. But I was not shy, actually, as he was. So, I made the first step to ask for friendship. He agreed and we became friends. Best friends. Slowly, we started sharing each & everything about ourselves. He was always there for me, and I was too. We were inseparable"

"Then?"

"I got to know his family. He was Carson. Ryan Carson"

"But... isn't his surname Swift?"

"That's where it all ended for me and started for him"

"Hmm... you don't usually make riddles, do you?"

"Huh, listen. It was a normal day, like any other, but the most unfortunate one for me... For him... For us"

"........"

"We were returning from our school. His parents always hated him, as I saw, but he didn't mind them much, because he knew he could please them someday. But they have had enough of him, so they... they decided... they decided something that was... horrible"

"What?"

"They decided to... end him"

"E-end him? What the fuck are you talking about?!"

"They planned his... his... death... That day... When we were returning from school, we went to my house. My parents welcomed us and after that, he decided to go back to his house as usual"

Someone entered the washroom, so I stopped. She went to one of the washrooms and I started speaking again. But I spoke very slowly, at least not be heard by that girl. 

"Then?" Sam asked. 

"I remember clearly he was happy and smiling when he left in the car... but all I know after that was that he had an accident... and... He was admitted to the hospital by the people"

"Woah? How the hell did he-"

"Listen, Sam! So, I was broken at the thought of him being in an accident. But I build up my courage and went inside his room after the doctors have treated him..."

"And?"

"I talked to the doctors, and they told me something I never thought I will ever listen"

"What???"

"They told me that he had amnesia and he is in temporary memory loss... and you know what?" I chuckled at the words they spoke so easily, the next. "they told me that he would be in his worst if he ever remembers me, for that would make him remember everything, about his family's betrayal, and trust me, he was not a kind of bearing betrayals"

"Wh-"

"But... I did what they said. I left him there. I made sure he doesn't see me even for a second. My parents kept me away from his sight while making sure he gets adopted by a different family because he was young and worth it"

"You... you just left?"

"Or what? Stay there just for my sake? Ruin his life? No, never Sam! I loved him, I loved him so much- I don't know for how long was I in depression after that"

"But, he? What happened to him?"

"He was adopted by the Swifts. Got a new life, with plenty of friends. I heard he just transferred here to complete his 10 + 2"

"So now what? What will you do?"

"He has seen me. I don't know if he will ever remember me or not - but it’s best for him not to. There's not a single thing we will ever get by making him remember-"

"You will get a lot, Sam. His friendship"

"No. I won't. I don't even know if he wants to be my friend or not. He has changed so much. Why would he want me as a friend now that he's so full of friends?"

"You're wrong Hannah, the first friend is always special"

"But..." I was confused. 

"So, what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know, I just want-" I stopped when I heard footsteps behind me, at the door. Samantha's eyes went wide on seeing the intruder, so I turned back.

No, my eyes went wider than ever.

Ryan.

"Bloody hell, wasn't this girl' washroom!?!" I whispered to Hannah looking at the floor, not wanting to look at his face, which carried a soft smirk.

"Bloody yes!" she whispered back.

"hi, Evelyn" Ryan spoke and I looked back, to where his eyes trailed, and I saw that same girl that entered a few minutes back.

"Hi babes, but you shouldn't be here, you know" she replied with a smirk, washing her hands under the tap. 

"Yeah, but you know how much I miss you" he spoke. 

"You've been not leaving me alone even to let me go to the washroom, you know!" she yelled sarcastically.

"Sorry babes," he said and then he grabbed her arms and pulled her close. I looked the other side while my heart was breaking down at the sight. 

Oh god. He has a girlfriend.
