Clara.

This is so wrong.

Yet, it felt so right.

We were still on the floor kissing.

I should've pulled away, or slapped him or tell him to fuck off.

But,  I guess a small part of me wanted to know what kissing him would be like.

Magnificent.

It felt like his lips were meant to be pressed against mine, like I've kissed those lips before.

It felt so damn right and I had no idea why.

His hands were around my waist and my hands were in his hair,  playing with it. He sucked on my bottom lip, causing me to sigh. He smirked and then nibbled on it.

I blushed.

Good heavens, he's a good kisser.

"Clara, where are- whoa!" said Aaron, walking in on us.

We immediately pulled away and got up, dusting off our clothes that was already grass stained.

"Well look who got a bit on in a funeral home," said Mel, "and I'm still the freak?"

I was blushing, nobody could see it but I was.

I glanced at Aiden and it was a sight to behold.

He was blushing too.

Like his face was all red and he didn't make eye contact with anyone.

Like it was his first kiss too.

Yeah right, with those skills, I highly doubt that.

"Poor James." said Aaron shaking his head.

Though I swore I saw a hint of a smile.

I looked at Mel and she was straight up smiling.

"Looks like those green eyes locked you down." said Mel, looking at Aiden.

Then she mouthed something to Aiden and he scratched the back of his head.

And I swear, I saw a smirk.
****************************

Aiden.

Wow.

I don't even know what to say.

So many years it has been, yet her lips feel the same like the first time I kissed it.

I smile as I remember it.

That night, she was my captive. That coward hit her and she didn't want to tell me, so I kissed her.

I thought that it would just be a simple kiss.

Little did I know that that kiss would connect me to her heart and her to mine.

She lost her memory, but that connection is still there.

"Poor James." said Aaron shaking his head and smiling.

I'm surprised Aaron is even allowing me to be a part of Clarisse's life again.

I thought he'd greet me with a punch to my face and tell me to stay away from his sister.

But judging from his tone, I don't think he feels anywhere near sorry for James.

Mel was smiling so much.

"Look like those green eyes locked you down." said Mel, looking directly at me.

"again." she mouthed.

I couldn't help it.

I smirked.

Maybe the universe wants to give me a second chance to be with Clarisse.

And dammit, I'll seize that opportunity.

***********************

We were back in the car.

Nathan was fast asleep on Clarisse's lap.

I watched with fascination as she stroked his hair and looked down at him, smiling a smile that could melt hearts.

At least, it could melt mine for eternity.

She caught me staring at me and smiled awkwardly.

"Look," she whispered, "about the um, kiss, I-"

"It's okay." I said, looking away.

She put her hand on my shoulder.

"I was saying that we should start over. Maybe as friends?"

I chuckled.

"What's so funny?" she asked.

Shit.

"Oh nothing, I just remembered something." I said.

"Oh." was all she said.

"And yes Clarisse, we could start over. As friends."

She smiled and as she bent down to place Nathan's head on her lap, Mel and Aaron gave two thumbs up.
***********************

We were here.

At Clarisse's old home.

Aaron knocked on the door.

There was some loud swearing.

"I swear to God in heaven, if it's another nosy neighbour coming to ask for something, I'll grab Joe's old shotgun and go on a fuckin purge!"

Glad to hear nothing's changed about Pam.

Clarisse and Aaron looked at each other.

The door opened to reveal a very weary Pam.

"Good afternoon y'all." she said, sounding sad.

Clarisse and Aaron hugged her.

"Hey Pam." said Mel.

"Mel darling, glad that you guys came to see me. Now I'm all alone, thought that I'd die first."

Clarisse looked away.

"Come on Pam, don't be like that. Satan still tired from running you the last time." said Aaron.

She smiled.

"That old bastard got a long distance to run before he can get me back in Hell." she muttered.

I laughed.

She glanced at me and smiled.

"Aiden doll, it's good to see you."

Uh oh.

Clarisse looked at her and back at me.

"So let me get this straight, Aaron and Mel know you and Pam?"

"I used to live here." I said.

"Oh."

Damn, why did I tell her that?

I hope it doesn't affect her.

The thought barely left my mind, when she fell against me.

"Clarisse!" screamed Mel.

I picked her up and we went inside.
***********************

It was night.

Nathan was in a room asleep.

Clarisse was in her old room, unconscious.

This time, we called a doctor.

After a long wait, he came outside.

"She's fine. It seems as though her memories are returning, but the problem is that they come all at once and it's too much for her mind to handle. You see, these memories come back, toppled off with her confusion and her questions, like "why?" or "how?". All of this is messing with her subconscious and she suffers an energy drain."

Mel stifled a sob and Aaron looked down.

Pam poked me.

"What does that mean?"

"It means that her memory is returning, but it's too much for her to handle." I said.

"Oh. I feel it for you child. Her memory is gone and you have to pretend like you only knew her the other day. I know I was mean to her, but she doesn't deserve to go through that." she said.

I nodded sadly, too shocked by Pam's words.

Then I heard Clarisse scream.

"Aiden Martin you asswipe!"
********************************

Heh heh, I'm an evil piece of shit.

So... that happened.

And you thought 13 was the evil number.

What do you think about Pam's change?

Does anyone feel sorry for her?

Do you think that Clarisse will remember everything?

Stay tuned for more drama in...

Merlin.

Lol, I love that show.

Ta ta!
