Remember Me Part 3

Ryan and Chaz laugh. Ryan: "Dude, that's-" Me: "Ryan, be quiet, I wanna see something." I walk over to Justin and he stands up. I was no longer Justin's height, he is now a good 2 inches taller than me. Weird. Justin: "Hi, I'm Justin." Me: "I know who you are. Justin Bieber. The singer." Justin: "Yeah, right. Are you a fan?" Me: "Sort of yeah. It's complicated. Can I ask you a question Justin?" I seriously thought he was joking, I men how could Justin not remember? Justin: "Yeah sure. shoot." Me: "Do you remember me Justin?" Justin: "Uh. . .No, I don't. Should I?" My face turned red and I felt that tears were gonna come. I went over to Christian and he hugged me. I ran upstairs to Christian's room and I sat on his bed and let the tears drip down my face. Christian comes and knocks on the door. Christian: "Hey, can I come in?" Me: "It's your room isn't it?" Christian: "Right." Christian comes in and sits next to me and puts his arm around my shoulder. Christian: "I'm sorry Payton." Me: "It's-it's-it's okay..." Christian: "Would some Dr. Pepper make you feel better. I know it's your favorite." Me: "That's Justin's favorite soda. He always put a cherry in it." Christian: "Payton, If you wanna, I can get Ryan or Chaz to drive you home." I nod and slowly get up and walk downstairs with Christian. Justin, Ryan and Chaz are watching spongebob and Justin had a Dr. Pepper with a cherry in front of him. I look to my old spot next to Justin and it was taken, by Chaz. (FML moment! lol.) I walk over to the boys and try to hide my tears. Me: "R-R-Ryan?" Ryan: "Yeah?" Me: "Can you drive me home please?" Ryan: "I thought you drove here." Christian: "I don't think she wants to drive." Christian makes motions to Justin and then my tears. It took a while but then Ryan picked up. He got up. Justin: "Where ya going man?" Ryan: "I gotta drive my friend home. I'll be back." Ryan comes over to me and puts his hand on my back and led me out to my car. I got in and buckled up and so did Ryan. We started driving down the road, silent. All you could hear were my little sniffles still crying. Ryan: "Payton, are you okay?" Me: "Do I sound okay?" Ryan: "Right. sorry." Me: "I can't believe he f-f-forgot about me..." Ryan: "He'll come around. I bet he just blocked out what happened because it was too painful." Me: "Okay..." Ryan drops me off and I go curl up into a ball in front of the tv. I sit there for about 20 minutes and all I can think about is Justin. I can't stand it anymore and I call Christian's cell. Me: "Christiaaan" Christian: "Payyttoonn...." I laugh a little at his little impression. Me: "Haha. Now, I want Justin to remember. Can I come back over?" Christian: "As long as you wash your face again. I bet your mascara is running." Me: "Is not..." I look in a mirror and he's right. I looked like crap. Me: "oh... you're right, I'll be there in 10 minutes." Christian: "K, bye." I go over to Christian's and sit next to Chaz. Chaz: "Hey buddy. Are you okay?" Me: "Yeah, I'm fine." Justin looks over at me. Justin: "Christian, you seriously need to tell me who this girl is. She looks really familiar. Should I remember her?" Christian: "You should." Justin turns towards you and looks at you to see if he can recognize you. Justin: What's your name, maybe I'll remember then." Me: "I'm Payton." Justin: "Payton….Payton….hmmm, Oh My God! PAYTON?!" Me: "Yeah, you remember me right?" Justin: "Yeah, you're like my best friend!" Me: "Are you still mad at me?" Justin: "Why would I be mad at you?" Me: "Because of- never mind." Justin doesn't remember the accident. Justin: "I haven't seen you since like '07!" Me: "Are we friends again?" Justin: "Definitely!" Me: "I just have one question, how did you forget about me?" Ryan: "You don't know?" Me: "Know what?" Ryan: "Justin got memory loss after the accident. Me: "Memory Loss?" Ryan: "Yeah, he doesn't like to talk about it." Me: "How did I not know about this?" Christian: "You didn't like to talk about Justin." I turn around towards Justin who watching TV and I poke his shoulder. Justin: "Yeah Payton?" Me: "What did we always used to do after school everyday when we were little?" Justin: "I don't know. I can't remember." Me: "You don't remember anything. Do you?" Justin: "Sorry, no." Me: "But Justin, we were BEST friends! We went every where! How do you not know?!" Justin points at his head Justin: "Memory loss. I think I was in an accident or something." Me: "Yeah, you were." Christian: "Payton, don't remind him." Me: "Why He should know." Christian: "Not now, do it later." Me: "Okay. Fine." Me and the guys just hung out for the rest of the week, going to malls, skateparks and crashing parties. It felt like how it should have been if Justin had never left. Justin and I actually held hands for a while. ;) But finally, it was the anniversary of the funeral, Me and Justin we walking through the cemetery because I told him about that dad died, but I didn't tell him how. I stopped walking at my dad's grave. Jaxon's was covered up by leaves. Justin: "Why did we stop walking?" Me: "This is where my dad was buried." Justin: "Oh, I'm sorry. So, h-how did he die?" Me: "He died in a car accident. The same one you were in, and me, and Jaxon." Justin: "Wait, wait, wait, hold up! What happened?" Me: "You me and Jaxon... " I told Justin the whole story about that night every little detail, except for the kiss. Justin: "So my brother- My brother's dead?" Me: "Yes." You point to Jaxon's grave and Justin kneels down and pushes off the leaves from the grave. Justin: "Oh, my god." Me: "I'm so sorry Justin. I thought you would end up remembering it." Justin: "C-Can I get some alone time?" Me:: "Of course" I walk away and I see Justin leaning over the grave tring to remember. Justin: "Jaxon, If you can hear me I just wanna say, I'm sorry I forgot about you." Justin looks up at the sky. Me: "Justin, are you okay?" Justin: "Y-yeah." Me: "Are you mad at me?" Justin: "No, It wasn't your fault." Me: "Really? Are you sure?" Justin: "Do you want me to change my mind?" Me: "No! I mean, no. I'm okay with this." Justin: "haha. Do you wanna get something to eat? I'm hungry..." Me: "Sure." I stand up and hold out my elbow and Justin links arms with me. We walk to the little Ice Cream shop on our street. Justin stands and stares at the ice cream shop. Justin: "Wow. I haven't been here in forever!" Me: "It's been 4 years." Justin: "Right." Me: "So, popstar, how's life been?" Justin: "what do you mean?" Me: "You know, like as a mega-superstar." Justin: "It's been good, but there is the paps always invading your privacy and fans trying to get to your private life." Me: "Oh, sounds hectic." Justin: "There are the ups too." Me: "Like having a ton of teenage girls all over you?" Justin: "Well, yes but living the dream." Me: "you know when we were little I never knew that you liked to sing at all." Justin: "I was more of a sports guy then. Hey so speaking of my singing career, do you actually like my music?" Me: "Well-" Justin: "Payton!" Me: "I'm just kidding! You're awesome Justybear." Justin: "Justybear?" Me: "Yeah, it was your nickname when you and me were little." Justin: "Okay, Payton, tell me EVERYTHING about you and me when we were little." Me: "Okay, I think it will help you with memories." Justin: "K, start from the beginning." Me: "We met when we were three in Preschool. We went to Stratford & District Christian School." Justin: "And we met Ryan in Kindergarten right?" Me: "Yes! You're remembering!" Justin: "I forget when we met Christian and Chaz." Me: " We met Chaz in 1st grade and Christian in 2nd." Justin: "Oh, right." Me: "When we were 6, your mom went back to work for a longer time and you started coming over to my house everyday after school. We would always watch Spongebob and we would have Dr. Peppers and Barbecue chips." Justin: "Oh my gosh! I remember that, and one day we had a whipped cream fight and our moms got so mad at us." You: "That was a few months before the accident." Justin: "oh... Are you still mad at me for yelling at you 4 years ago?" Me: "No, you were just blowing off steam." Justin: " I feel that you missed something in that story about that night at the hospital." Me: "What?" the only thing I didn't tell him was about the kiss and he couldn't have remembered that. Could he? Justin: "I think you left out this." Justin leans over to me and kisses me on the lips and I kiss back. Justin slowly pulls away and smiles.
