A perfect summer. High sun, warm, but not too hot. Long days strolling hand in hand through the woods, dipping toes into the river. Long nights laying underneath the stars, sharing stories and hopes and dreams. Ice cream dripping over fingers. Movies in the park. Picnics by the lake. And music. So, so much music.

Memories of this boy and me. Logan. Who isn’t a stranger at all, but someone I shared so much of my life with.

How could I not know him?

The forest is on fire, a heat like no other. But no, it’s not the forest, it’s me. An unbearable heat flowing through my body. A redness creeps up my neck and over my cheeks. It spreads rapidly through me as the memories of this boy, this relationship, settle back into my mind. I was in love. I was happy. I wasn’t alone.

I’m struck with so many emotions. Lightning rendering me motionless. One minute I’m a girl at a new school with the length of a football field between her and everyone else. The next, I’m flooded with feelings for a stranger in front of me who isn’t a stranger at all.

“How could I have forgotten all that? How could I have forgotten you?” The words fall from my mouth in bits and pieces, and I don’t know what to do with them. I remember it all so clearly now. Memories that are too precious to have lost.

“And here I thought I was unforgettable.” Logan tries to lighten the mood, but it falls flat. He reaches out a steady hand to me and my body wants to move towards him, to fall into his arms, but I make myself pull back. A wave of hurt passes over his face, but he’s quick to mask it.

“Maybe it’s residual memory loss from the accident. I hit my head pretty hard. Maybe it knocked you right out of it. The doctors told me there are cases of amnesia after car accidents...” I trail off because that doesn’t seem right. This isn’t a lingering side effect from my head trauma. But I have no other answers and the forest falls quiet.

"We should probably keep going,” Logan’s voice cuts in and I shake myself out of my confusion.

"Where are we supposed to go?" I wonder aloud, but it's clear that the only answer is anywhere but here. We start moving, quickly and quietly, though the sounds of my heart, the swirl of my thoughts, are turned up to eleven.

Muscle memory kicks in and I realize my feet are heading towards home.
