Jericho has suffered amnesia from a car accident. Cynthia, his fiance, must help him remember who he is and their love. It’s a long and difficult process to start all over again, but as she continues Cynthia must make a choice. To leave the man she loves to continue on with her life. Will she have the strength to stay with him? I wrote this story a while ago, but after experiencing a car accident and living through it I realized I needed to revise it. Originally the story was 1,000 words and became 2,000 words. The scar in the story is a scar that I really have on my knee. It looks like a rose and I think it was a sign from God saying "I love you".
Cynthia had so much excitement for the question that was asked to marry her. It slowly subsided into a clouded mystery of what ifs and how could this be. It seemed quite clear that her future husband could easily turn away from her and she would lose her soul mate forever. “Do you remember this place?” asked Cynthia as she licked her lips and looked in his eyes. Jericho looked around and felt the wind brush up against his face. He turned around to the sound of children playing and laughing and saw the squirrels and chipmunks running up the trees. “I don’t know. It feels familiar, but I can’t place it. Maybe you should explain why it’s so usual?” “Right here, even now on this same sunny day. You asked me to marry you?”
There was a moment of silence as Jericho stared deep into her eyes as pictures fluttered his mind. He remembered laughter and kisses, dancing in the rain, feeding each other ice cream. “I don’t want to ad any pressure on you, but you’re hurting me,” she answered and tried to keep her emotions together and her eyes from tearing up. “This friendship can go two ways one way is you trust me and let me in. The other is we go our separate ways.” “If I was able to fall in love with you the first time give me a chance to fall in love with you again!” exclaimed Jericho. “I can’t,” cried Cynthia as she turned away, but Jericho turned her around and caressed his hands to such a beautiful face. “I can’t face this loneliness. Or hope that you’ll remember me when I feel like I’m cheating you out of your life!” exclaimed Cynthia as she broke away from his hands and began walking away.
Suddenly like magic, Jericho began to remember how they met. She had fallen on some ice in January and needed help getting to her car. He offered to help her and soon they became good friends. Then they kept bumping into each other at malls, school and parks, which followed with a couple of dates to the fair. “I’m doing us both a favor and leaving you to decide your future.”
Jericho grabbed her wrist and saw the upside down rose, which sent a wave of chills up her spine. Cynthia turned her head and looked into his blue eyes and realized that he didn’t want her to go. It was the same look that she saw when they danced at Prom to Avril Lavine song; I’m with you. “Faded memories do become real,” he answered emotionally as he held her near his chest, closer than she had been in a long time. Cynthia looked down past his shorts to his knee cap where Jericho had been caught itching the scar that she told him repeatedly to stop and saw a scar of an upside down rose that was identical to hers and knew what it meant. “I missed you,” she whispered as they both left the park realizing they would be together forever.
