The Vow

Aaron felt relieve flowing through him, he couldnt help but fall back into a chair. He had been so worried that he had been about to lose the girl.

"Well... let's go..." She smiled softly, taking his hand lightly, trying to get used to the unfamiliar boy. She kissed both her parents cheeks before letting Aaron take her outside.

Aaron led her to the rental car he had been borrowing. He strapped her in and then sat down, starting the car and backing out.
"So...Your parents..."

"Sorry... they can be a bit stuck up." She smiled apologetically. "They were acting weird but whatever." She looked around out the windows as they drove.

Aaron nodded, he drove through the city, watching as the scenery changed on them.
"Whats the last thing you remember?"

"I don't know exactly." She tried to think back. It hurt. "I don't know the exact moment when I can't remember anything anymore. But I was living with my parents... And my boyfriend was Kyle..." She nodded slowly. "I was... thirteen."

Aaron blinked at her, trying his hardest not to look too astounded.
Thirteen...
That was so long ago, he didnt know what he was going to do about this if she didnt ever remember...
He would just have to make things work.

"So... um, am I still..." She paused, uncomfortable with saying this around a man she knew so little. "Have we ever been... intimate?" She blushed. She wanted to know if she was still a virgin..

Aaron paused, his cheeks flushing a deep red.
"Well...We almost did it, but....We stopped. We were going to wait for our wedding night I guess." He couldnt help but smile at the memory.

Ivy grinned herself.
"Aw. You're blushing.." She couldn't help but let out a small giggle. "You're a pretty nice guy, aren't you?"
Like a teddy bear... She thought to herself. Same thing she'd said on their first date.

"You always said I was, but I still dont know." He glanced over at her with a small smile. "So, you want to come home with me? You have your own place but I thought you might like being with me better...But if you dont I understand."

"I'll... stay with you." She nodded. "For now. See if I can get used to this.. How big is your family?" Being around all those unfamiliar faces wouldn't be too good for her.

"They are...pretty big, but ill try to keep them away from you." He nodded his head, he didnt want to upset the girl.

"Okay." She nodded, a light frown on her face as they pulled up in front of Aaron's home. Everyone was anxious to see if Ivy was okay... they didn't know yet...

And Aaron was not sure how to handle that, he didnt want to hurt anyones feelings but he would not have them upsetting the girl.
"Okay so....just sit here for a minute and let me go talk to everyone..."

"Alright..." She nodded slowly, watching the house as Aaron went inside.
He was greeted by Sage, Sean and Hayden, all of them seeming very eager.
"Is she okay?!" Hayden asked.
"Dude, shh." Sage replied.
"Both of you shut up. But is she?!" Sean asked excitedly.
They were always so loud. And they were constanty bugging Aaron and Ivory. They would be hard to calm down and get out of her face...

"She is alright, but you guys need to leave her alone. SHe cant deal with you guys right now. So please dont mess with her." He sounded firm, unlike Aaron the boy never really was stern but he meant what he said, he sounded like his father, looked like him too.

"We weren't gonna. We just miss her." Hayden whined, peeking out the door. But they knew better than to do anything now, Aaron sounded serious...

Aaron sighed softly at him, patting his back.
"She dont remember me, us."

"What?" Hayden frowned deeply. He enjoyed the girl, even if he mostly just messed with her. Ivy was good friends with the whole family pretty much.. "She gotta remember us, bubba..." He never called Aaron bubba... only when he was upset.

Aaron sighed softly, shaking his head and moving to wrap an arm around his brother.
"She doesnt even remember me....She just...has no clue who any of us are."

"That... fucking sucks." Hayden glared at nothing in particular. He didn't like this...
But then he realized, Aaron must be hurting too.
"Are you okay?"

"Im great." Aaron forced a smile to his brother, nodding his head. "She is alive, and for the most part she is okay...Thats all I could as for."

"I'm sorry bubba..." Hayden hugged him tight. "But I'm glad she's at least okay... and maybe she'll remember you eventually.."

Aaron nodded, kissing his brothers cheek.
"Yeah,...But please dont mess with her, im going to take her to my room." He stepped back outside to see the girl
