Michael's P.O.V

"Let's go to a beach, I feel like ice cream" I smiled

Luke nodded, halfway there he turned to me "why haven't you given up yet?"

"What do you mean?" I asked confused

"On me, you still talk to me, Ashton has given up on me, but you, you keep trying"

I looked at my feet "because, honestly? I still love you, and I don't think anything will change that, but I did try, but seriously? How can you look at the person you love and tell yourself to walk away?"

"Don't give up yet, please, I want to remember I do, because I look at you and I feel home, I feel like I know you I just can't remember, the same for Ashton and Calum"

"I'm not giving up, ever" I reached over and grabbed Luke's hand "let me show you some places that might help you remember"

I ended up taking Luke to a small cafe near a beach.

"We came here for our first date after the interview" I explained

"How did we start dating?" Luke asked

"That was all you, in an interview a fan said 'why are you straight?' Maybe the guy had a crush on you, so when the interviewer asked who you like you looked at me"

Luke smiled "I wish I could remember"

"You will, you need to, I miss you"

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be"

The pair us sat quietly at the table listening to the music, when the next song began I smiled, but I almost felt like crying

'Back to the street where we began

Feeling as good as lovers can, you know

Yeah we're feeling so good

Pickin' up things we shouldn't read

It looks like the end of history as we know

It's just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began

Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

Into a place where thoughts can bloom

Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon

And we know that it could be

And we know that it should

And you know that you feel it too

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

And your eyes are the size of the moon

You could 'cause you can so you do

We're feeling so good

Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon

You could 'cause you can so you do

We're feeling so good

Back to the street

Down to our feet

Losing the feeling of feeling unique

Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place

Where we used to say

Man it feels good to feel this way

Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place,

Back to the room where it all began, hey

Back to the room where it all began

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon

You could 'cause you can so you do

We're feeling so good

Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon'

I sat miming the words a small smile on my face when Luke spoke up

"It's our song" he said simply

"What?" I asked "how do you know that?"

"I saw us, sitting here, this song playing and you telling me it will be our song"

"You remembered?"

Luke nodded

After that we headed back to the hospital to see Calum.

"Is he awake?" I asked Ashton who was at reception

He nodded "he'll be fine, I'm just signing release papers" Ashton's eyes wandered to Luke

"Hey Luke, listen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said, also I'm sorry I punched you"

"Nah, I deserved the punch, I shouldn't have been so horrible"

Ashton noticed that I was holding Luke's hand "do you remember?"

"Little bits, hopefully it will come back soon"

"Let's hope so, go see Calum, Michael help me fill these in"

I nodded and watched as Luke left

"How did he remember?" Ash asked me

"I took him to a cafe we went when we started dating and 'Nine in the Afternoon' by 'Panic! At The Disco' started playing, which I always said was our song and he knew"

"So hopefully we'll have Luke back soon?"

I nodded

"Thank god, I've missed him"

AN: thanks to 'Kingranceypants' for the idea of which song to use.
