Not So Bulletproof Hearts

Kats POV

Saturday was the first time I actually bothered to put my makeup on since Frank’s accident. As I sat straightening at my desk, I thought to myself. I am actually trying to impress him. Why though? He doesn’t even know who I am. He doesn’t remember what we had, and how special it was. “ouch!” I yelled out in pain as I caught my pinky on the straightening irons. Gosh Kat, pull yourself together! If he can’t remember you, then make him fall in love with you again! For once my conscience was giving me some good advice.

Moments later the doorbell rang, must Gerard and Frank. I walked nervously down the stairs almost tripping over my sneakers on the bottom step. I pushed the door open to Gerard’s smiling face. Some of the awkwardness I felt faded, but then I saw Frank behind him. My stomach tied itself in a tight knot. I forgot of gorgeous he was. “hey, come in guys.”

Together we walked silently into my kitchen and sat around the table. “Would you like some coffee?” of course, as always Gerard jumped at the chance of a cup of coffee. “yes, I’d love some thanks.” Frank shook his head and smiled sheepishly at me. “So… Frank, how have you been this past week?” I said as I placed the coffee in front of Gerard. “Umm. Yeah, it was a rough start with Shiloh but I’ve been slowly remembering stuff over the week. All that remains a mystery to me is… you.”

Franks POV

I could feel a lump forming in my throat as Kat sat opposite me, she was so beautiful, her eyes glistened in the light and her perfectly styled hair hung down over her elegant collar bones. She sighed loudly, resting her elbows on the table and letting her head drop into her hands. There was a moment of silence before Gerard cleared his throat and looked anxiously at me. “Kat, how’s it been coping with your grandmother’s death?”
Her grandmother died? Before I had chance to hear Jades reply I sunk deep back into my mind, into another memory.

Franks POV (flashback)

I re-positioned myself on the couch and groaned, closing my eyes for a moment but soon reopening them. Since I had just been disturbed I couldn’t seem to get comfy again. I looked down next to the sofa to see that girl again… she was crying. I immediately got up, a little too quickly making myself dizzy. I bent down to comfort her, embraced her in my arms and kissed the top of her head. Her hair smelled of strawberries, she was so delicious, I wanted to hold onto her and never let go.

Kats POV (back to the present)

I studied Frank from across the table; I could see he was deep in thought. I’d never seen someone try so hard to remember me, he’s still so caring even though he doesn’t know who I am. He let out a mournful sigh and looked up at me from between his fingers which were covering the majority of his handsome face. “There are gaps…” Frank’s words trailed off and he looked down at the table. Both me and Gerard, exchanged slightly confused looks and then turned to Frank.

“What do you mean? ‘Gaps’?” I questioned him curiously. He spent a good few moments deciding on how to answer my question before opening his mouth. “Some of my memories have gaps, I remember when Shiloh threatened a girl when I was stood near my car with her the other week, but I don’t know who she was. I remember spilling wine on a girls skirt in Gerard’s kitchen and then embracing her in my arms, but I can’t remember who she was. I remember a girl crying next to the couch so I comforted her, I can’t remember her either. I know they are all the same girl… I know I care about her a lot, I just don’t remember her.”

There was complete silence around the table for what seemed like forever. It took me a moment to process what Frank had just said. If he remembered all that, how can he not remember me? I wanted to burst into tears but I managed to fight it back. “Oh. Well, Frank, who do you think she was?” I gazed into his eyes as the words fell from my lips, hoping he would make the connection.

Franks POV (present day)
“Oh. Well, Frank, who do you think she was?” Kats words and enticing gaze pierced right into my heart. I wanted to remember, I wanted to so badly. But for some reason I was blank on the matter. Logic was telling me that because I had no memories of Kat and the memories with blank spaces had a mysterious girl in them, Kat must be that girl. But no matter how hard I tired I just couldn’t see it, for some reason Kat didn’t fit into those memories. I bit down on my lip ring and mulled over my thoughts before saying anything. I glanced at Gee who was taking another sip of coffee and raising one eyebrow at me.

“I have no memories of you, Kat. I have so many memories with that girl. Logic is telling me, you are that girl. But no matter how hard I try it just doesn’t fit. I’m so sorry. I want to remember you, but it just isn’t there anymore.” By now my bottom lip was trembling, I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. Turning away from the table so she wouldn’t see cry, someone grabbed my hand to stop me.

Their touch was electric, I was almost shaking. I feeling I somewhat remembered, a feeling I got when I was with that girl. I didn’t turn around to face them. I was afraid the moment I was her, the feeling would stop. “I love you, Frank. Whether you remember me or not…” What felt like a bolt of lightning, hit my heart. I could feel her love coursing through my veins, making my heart pound uncontrollably.

My entire body was overcome with fearlessness. I turned around, leaning over the table, pulling her towards me and crashed my lips onto hers. I could feel the power rushing through me overflowing my mind with information. I wrapped my arms around her delicate neck as the passion was growing. I could hear Gerard muttering something in the background but I was too engrossed in the moment listen to him.

I slowly pulled back and looked into her emerald green eyes gazing back at me. “I love you too, angel.”
