@ 9:40 am

The doorbell rang. 6 am. Surprisingly she was already awake, helping her mom in the kitchen. So she opened the door. There stood Jonathan. They looked at each other; time seemed to have paused for a moment. She tilted her head and looked at Jon warily. She knows him but she didn't know from where or when.

"Jonathan."
"Hi Sarah."

It was weird but she invited him in nevertheless. Her mom and sisters were still busy cooking in the kitchen. He didn't speak a word but just looked at her, giving her the chills. She knows why he was here and what he had in mind. She knows they are very very good friends but it's like she had no recollections of him whatsoever in the past. She knows these are facts but she has no memory of them at all.

She stood up and went into her room. He followed behind.

"Sarah..." She turned to face him.
"You know we have been so close to each other for so long..." He began. Weird but she has been waiting for that moment for so long and it's finally happening. She felt happy and butterflies are in her stomach. Strange, she thought to herself.

She couldn't look into his eyes when he was talking to her so she turned her back towards him, trying to find something to do. She's avoiding me... Jon knew that. So she started to fold her clothes and as he stood so close behind her, she felt a tingling sensation going up her neck.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm going overseas for a hockey tournament."

"Thing is, I realise that I wanna be more than just close friends. You're special and very, very, very dear to me. I wanna be with you." She frowned at him but her facial expression suggests that she was in a blur. She didn't say a word. She was thinking though. It was 7 am. That whole episode took an hour? She went to the kitchen, told her mum that she'll be back. Then she walked back to her room.

"Jon... do you wanna go have breakfast at Mac Donalds?"
"Oh. Ya sure."
"Ok. You go downstairs and wait for me alright. I'll go get ready first."
"Ya... ok."

Fresh from the cold shower, she quickly got dressed and went downstairs to look for Jon. She grabbed his arm.

"Let's go." She knew right there and then that she loves him. A lot. And she can only spend a day with him before he leaves tomorrow.

And as they were walking, he tried to hold her hand but she merely let go.
"Can I?"
"Well... maybe... urm... maybe later."

But after a while... she held his hand and they walked silently, but happily towards Mac Donalds.
