He sighed then bit his lip before asking his question, “Was… was it my fault.. that I was in the accident?”

Aubrey sat down on the couch, shaking her head quickly. "No. No, it was definitely not your fault," she said. Her voice turned bitter as she continued, "Some idiot was driving around drunk in the middle of the day. He ran a red light and crashed into the passenger side of your car…"

“Passenger side? Does that mean someone else was in the car with me?”

"No… Just the side opposite your's," Aubrey clarified.

He nodded, “Okay, at least no one else got hurt.”

"Yeah," Aubrey agreed. "Well… The driver of the other vehicle did, I think…"

“Apart from him…” Liam said with a sigh and sat down next to Aubrey..

"I'm really glad you weren't hurt worse," Aubrey said quietly, looking down at her hands, which she had folded in her lap.

Liam took her hands in his, “Me too, but I would have preferred a few broken bone then memory loss.”

"Yeah," Aubrey sighed, nodding slowly. She was still looking at her hands, which were now being held in Liam's. A slight blush rose to her cheeks because of it, though she didn't know why. It wasn't like they'd never held hands before, they were best friends. Best friends did that all the time…

“Do you want something to drink?” He asked her, gently letting go of her hands.

(And I'm back!)

Aubrey looked up and smiled at Liam. "Sure. Water would be great," she answered.

Her hands already felt colder, but she wouldn't dare take his hands again. Why was she feeling so awkward around him lately?

“Coming right up.” He said, smiling a little and walking to the kitchen to grab her a glass of water.

"Thanks!" Aubrey called after him. She leaned back slightly into the couch as she waited for him to come back, mulling over her thoughts and ever-confusing emotions.

Liam came back a few minutes later with a glass of water for Aubrey, he sat down next to her and handed it to her, “Here.”

Aubrey thanked Liam again before taking a sip, holding the glass in her lap when she wasn't drinking from it.

"So, I had an idea to help you get your memories back," she offered, looking over and smiling at him.

He frowned a little then smiled at Aubrey, “W-what’s the idea?”

"Nothing scary or dangerous, I promise," Aubrey said. "I just want to take you to places we used to hang out at."

He nodded, “Okay, that sounds good.”

Aubrey grinned. "Great! We can go as soon as you're ready."

“Well, I’m ready now so… should we go?” He asked, a smile on his lips.

"Absolutely! The sooner we get going, the more stops we can hit," Aubrey declared, taking one last sip of her water before standing.

"Let me go put some shoes on, I'll be right back." He said, hurriedly walking to his room.

While she waited, Aubrey went to the kitchen and set her cup in the sink. She then went to grab her things from beside the door and waited there for Liam.

"Okay, I'm ready. Where to first?" He asked, opening the door for Aubrey.

"It's a surprise," Aubrey declared mysteriously as she made her way out. "You'll just have to wait and see!"

"I don't like surprises." He said, locking the door behind them.

Aubrey looked back and raised her eyebrows at Liam. "Oh? Is that something you remember, or just something you assume?" she questioned.
