Find a Place for Me Again
Two
Alex's eyes fluttered open and I held onto his hand tightly. I wanted to see how much he had remembered. I hope he remembers me and how in love we are. I don't want to be alone in the relationship if he forgot.
"Who are you," he asked when he looked at me. I released his hand and covered my mouth.
"Alex, she's your girlfriend. That's Kenzie," Jack tried to explain to him.
"Dude I don't know her. How can she be my girlfriend when I don't know her," he replied.
"Alex, do you know what your next tour is," I asked him.
"Yeah Warped 2012," he replied.
"Jack can I talk to you outside," I looked at Jack before I left the room.
"What do you think of his memory loss," Jack asked once we were in the hallway.
"Jack, he only forgot me. I'm the only missing puzzle piece in his mind. I'm lost to him," I was on the verge of tears.
"Kenzie, he'll remember you in time. Pictures, smells, and familiar actions can spark his memory. Just move your stuff to the guest room in your house so he has space," Jack suggested.
"How can I make it go faster. I don't want to go on like this forever if he never gets the traction to start remembering," I started to cry.
"Make him fall in love with you again. Be the one to ask him out on dates. Spend nights in and watch movies together. Do little things that'll make him remember you," he replied as he pulled me to his chest.
"I miss him already, Jack," I sobbed into his chest.
"I know. I'll get the guys to help him remember you. You have to be strong for him, Kenzie," Jack took hold of my shoulders to look me in the eye.
"Let me go to the house and move my stuff into the guest room. I'll be back later to check on him," I told him before I left to go home.
After I moved my things to the guest room, I curled up in the covers of the bed and cried. Alex had no memory of me. Everything we had in the last two years is gone. My world is shattered. Warped Tour was in eight weeks and I was going to be the tour photographer for the guys this year. My concern was where I'd bunk since Alex may not remember me still at eight weeks.
"Alex, please come back to me," I whimpered to myself as I clutched a picture of Alex and I when I first moved in with him. We were in our swimsuits by the pool. We were so happy and in love.
I need you back, Alex. I am lost without you. You have been my world for the last two years and now it's crumbling around me. I feel isolated and alone. Remember me, please.
"Who are you," he asked when he looked at me. I released his hand and covered my mouth.
"Alex, she's your girlfriend. That's Kenzie," Jack tried to explain to him.
"Dude I don't know her. How can she be my girlfriend when I don't know her," he replied.

So I just read what you have of this, and I'm sad to see it was never finished. :(
It's a bit rushed at some parts, but I really like the concept of it. It surprised me that you had him gain his memory back kind of quickly; I thought for sure the twist was going to be he was going to lose it again or something. I found it a bit odd how that was kind of the plot for the first half, and then this second part kind of diverted from it. But I really like what you have of it, it's really sweet. :)
If you ever choose to finish it, I will be here to read. Although I think a final chapter wrap-up would totally work for this, if you're struggling for inspiration. Just a final update to conclude it.
You're a great writer, and so, I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know that, and to show that people are still stumbling across this and reading it. :)
