Where did I go?

Our second destination takes longer to get to, a little over three hours. On the way Mikey plays Pierce the Veil cds. They're amazing and so different from the garage band practices I used to attend. I'm so proud of my boys.

We finally pull up to a cluster of brick and stone buildings. My college. I know that because I get a sense of deja vu. "So what happened here that I can't remember?"

Mikey shrugs. "Honestly you're gonna have to ask Cara for all the frat party and finals memories. I wasn't really around until the end of your college years. We lost touch by the end of your freshman year. Me and the guys were stressing about the band and you were busy studying." I guess that makes sense. Most people lose touch with their high school friends. "But wait, if we lost touch, how did we start talking again?" "Again, that's Cara. She heard of this really awesome and super cool band that was playing nearby and dragged you to their show"

I roll my eyes. "And let me guess, there was an amazingly hot drummer in this band?"

He answers with a huge grin. "Of course there was. You recognized us immediately. After the show you stormed back stage, honestly you scared the security guys, and then everyone went out to get drinks. We had to leave to play more shows, but we still texted and occasionally skyped. After you graduated we ended up moving in together."

"So it was love at second sight, huh?" I tease. Mikey looks at me. "There were definitely fireworks. At least, I thought there were. I always had a crush on you in high school, and then I saw you again and I was like, damn I can't lose this girl again."

I guess, looking back, I sometimes wondered what it would be like to be his girlfriend. But I never gave it too much thought. I bite my lip and turn away from him. Hopefully he didn't see the tears in my eyes. He sighs. "Let's head home." Mikey turns the car on. I stay silent for the ride back. My thoughts toss around my head. What if I never remember loving him? I wish I could be the girl he sees me as...
