I Like the Way You Wear Those Faded Blue Jeans

I continued to look at the pictures. I really didn’t notice anyone else. But I keep seeing this picture of me with this girl. She was really pretty. I knew that she was like a sister to me I could see that in the pictures but her name it was there I just couldn’t bring it forth and I knew that Steve won’t tell me who she was until I at least tried to remember. I looked at her she had long wavy brown hair and a pale completion. Her skin was almost perfect. Her white teeth shined in ever picture. Who was she? I began to get upset by the fact I didn’t know her. I started to cry as Steve walked back into the room.

“Sweetie what’s wrong” Steve asked rushing to my side
“This girl she’s in a lot of my pictures but I can’t remember her” I said
“You will in time” Steve said

Steve held me in his arms as I cried into his chest. I’m sure my tears were going straight through his shirt but he didn’t care. In his arms I felt safe. I could feel something in me an emotion that I didn’t know if I was suppose to have. I looked up at Steve I’m sure confusion was written all over my features. He simple smiled at me before asking.

“What’s confusing you?”
“I have these feels for you I’m not sure if I should have them” I said
“What feels?” Steve asked
“Well I think its love” I said “But you said we were just friends”
“And we are” Steve said
“Do you have someone?” I asked shyly
“As a matter of fact I do” Steve said
“Must be a lucky girl to have you” I blushed
“Very lucky” Steve smiled
“Is that her” I asked pointing to the girl you were looking at before
“No she’s your best friend I wouldn’t do that” Steve said
“So who is she” I asked
“Oh her names Amy” Steve said
“Amy…is that her” I pointed to a red head
“Yep” Steve sighed
“We work with her” I took note “That’s not aloud does Uncle Jay and dad know”
“Well no but we will tell them” Steve noted

I could feel your heart sink. I was sure there was more between me and Steve. I was going to figure it out if it killed me. I sat in silence thinking about all the people I could ask. For one I was going to ask Amy, then Uncle Jay, Dad and Dustin someone would tell me. There was a knock at the door that brought me from my thoughts.

“Hay guys come in” Steve said opening the door
“So we hear you remember some stuff” Grant smiled
“I do” I said
“Like what” Grant asked
“Fuzzy Butt” I said holding up the kitten that was still on my lap
“Is that all” Uncle Jay asked
“No I remember my parent’s car accident going to live with Uncle Jay” I said “Then there was this girl I can’t give her a name but I know her face and then there was TAPS I remember the rules about dating someone you work with”
“What brought on these?” Dustin asked
“This” I said holding up the scrapbook “I also remember Amy”
“Why would you remember me?” Amy asked
“Because I work with you” I said “Also I want to talk with you Uncle Jay”
“Okay well just step out side and we can talk” Uncle Jay said

I stood from the couch placing the kitten down and walked out the front door. Jason closed the door before I spoke up.

“Uncle Jay is Steve and I together” I asked
“Why would you ask that” Uncle Jay asked
“Well I feel something for Steve but I’m sure if there was something between us and things went wrong or something like that” I said
“So you haven’t figured that out yet” Jason said
“No but I really want to” I said
“Follow your feelings I think you’ll be surprised” Uncle Jay smiled

I opened the door and walked in hearing the words Jay said. I sat on the couch and Jay shuffled everyone but Steve out. When everyone left me alone with Steve I started to build up my courage to take a chance. I stood from the couch and walked over to Steve. I stood on my tippee toes and went to kiss Steve but he moved away before I could.

“No” Steve whispered

He walked out the front door leaving me standing there sad.

*Steve P.O.V*

I just left her there crying. I knew until she got her memory back I couldn’t do anything I wanted or she wanted. I decided a walked would be best. I decided that I would take a walk around the block and maybe sit out side for a little while. Best let things sink in before I talk to her. What I don’t understand it why? Why can’t I kiss her? Why can’t I tell her I lover her? I don’t understand if it could help her remember then why not. It’s so unfair. I had my eyes trained on the pavement when I ran into someone. I looked to see a girl on the pavement.

“I am so sorry I should have been looking where I was walking” I said
“No it’s my fault I was off in my own world” she smiled “You have something on your mind wanna talk about it” she asked
“I wouldn’t want to inconvenience you” I said trying to be polite
“Nonsense besides you looks like you need someone to talk to” She said
“Okay then” I said

We walked to a bench and sat down.

“So what’s on your mind” she asked
“Well my girlfriend she just got out of a coma and well she doesn’t remember anything well she remembers a few things but not us” I said
“Maybe you could take her to a place she knows where you have been?” She said
“I could” I said
“Or maybe you could do something else like kiss her” She said
“I would but the doctor told me not to” Steve said
“Look I’m a doctor and if it is going to help her remember do it” She said
“Thanks I feel better now” I smiled
“My names Georgia by the way” She smiled
“Steve” I said
“Steve I’ve seen you before I wasn’t going to mention it before but it’s sorta bothering me” Georgia said
“Really” I said
“Your names not Steve it’s longer like Stephen” she said
“Well yes it is” I said
“I can’t figure out where I have seen you maybe if you tell me more about your self” she asked
“Well I work for this group called TAPS and well we hunt Ghosts” I said
“Wait ghosts, TAPS, Ghost Hunters, Steve that’s it your off the TV” She smiled
“Yeah I am” I said
“My daughter would have loved your show” She smiled
“Really” Steve said
“Yeah but she’s gone” Georgia looked to the ground
“Oh I’m sorry if you don’t mind me asking what happened” I asked
“She was 2 when I last saw her we watched TV she feel asleep I carried her in and put her to bed the next morning when I went to check on her she was gone”
“Someone took her” I said
“Not just someone her uncle” Georgia said
“Why didn’t you get her back” I asked
“I tried no one would listen to me” she said “The day I tried to get her back there was an accident the car her uncle was driving crashed into an on coming semi her uncle died so did her aunt and her cousin”
“What about your daughter?” I asked
“I don’t know no one would tell me” She asked
“What was your daughter’s name?” I asked
“Her name was Lora but now I don’t know” Georgia sighed
“I think I know your daughter” I said “Her father his name was Grant”
“Yes but I haven’t seen him in years” she said
“Come with me I’ll take you to your daughter” I smiled

Georgia got up and followed me to Zora’s house. I’m not surprised I didn’t know about all this you see at the age she was kidnapped at makes it likely that she doesn’t remember anything of it and that most likely she grew to believe that the people who kidnapped her were in fact her parents. God I sound like a detective of some sort. Anyway when we reached Zora’s house I opened the door. I walked in first looking around to find Zora.

“Fuzzy Butt were did you go” Zora called
“Zora what are you doing?” I asked
“Looking for Fuzzy Butt she scamper doodled” Zora said
“Zora I need you to meet someone and tell me if you remember them” I said softly
“Will they help me find Fuzzy Butt?” Zora asked
“Sure you just need to tell me if you know the person” I said
“I can try” Zora said

I walked back into the lounge room where Georgia was sitting on the couch. I could hear the foot steps behind me stop. I turned and seen Zora looking at the person shock written on her face.

“You worked with my dad or at least who I thought was my dad” Zora said
“Lora” Georgia whispered
