IAN

I’m standing on the balcony. Cold wind is whipping across my face but I need it.

I didn’t expect coming to dinner would do this, but it’s changed things. Cal has what she has and it’s made it all the more real. It confirms what I knew all along. Things are different now. I can’t be her friend. I won’t. I have to make her remember. I need to get her back…she’s Alana!

I hear the glass door open and I prepare myself to see her but try not to be so “intense,” as Blue calls it, but I’m not in complete control of my mind right now. I admit I’m running on only adrenaline and emotion right now. I have to convince her that she’s mine, that we have a life together. If she can just fucking remember! But when I turn to see her it’s Lauren, not Alana. She leans on the railing next to me, her back to the cityscape, and glances over.

“Are you alright?” There’s genuine concern in her voice, and I try to push out everything I was about to let out on Alana. I laugh and grip my hair.

“No. I’m not.” I reply, trying to get a grip. She only nods and lets out a short laugh.

“I know exactly what you’re going through right now,” she utters quietly. I shake my head because I really doubt she does. She’s here, with Cal, and with babies on the way. He’s not sitting next to her with no memory of their life and wishing he was someone else.

“It might not seem like it to you right now but I went through hell to be here with him. To get to how we are now,” she says tensely, as if she just read my thoughts. I look at her more closely and when our eyes meet, for a second I see a glimpse of what I’m feeling, and shit…I wonder if she’s still going through hell now.

“Oh Ian. I wouldn’t wish what you’re going through on my worst enemy, and you just found out two weeks ago. You’re holding up a lot better than I was when I found out,” she explains quietly.

“Alana…is that how you know her?” she asks and I can only nod.

“She doesn’t know who that is,” she says firmly.“She might not remember anything and probably doesn’t want to. You’re fighting an uphill battle that will be the hardest thing you’ve ever been up against.”

“I want her back,” I say cutting her off. “And with all due respect, Lauren, I don’t need to hear how fucking hard it’s going to be. It doesn’t matter. I’ll fight every day if I have to. She’s mine and I’m not going to give her up.” My tone is harsh but I can’t hear yet another person tell me to let her go. I expect her to be offended but now she’s smiling at me.

“That’s what I needed to know,” she says gently, “because if you felt anything less of what you just said, it’s not going to be worth it.
