Never Forgotten

(By Broken-Token)

Lucy never thought it would happen to her again. But inevitably everything gets stripped away. But with only Jason left to take care of her could there be a light at the end of the tunnel? Especially with one little problem…they hate each other?! FXM Lemon!

Prologue

You know, I never thought that I’d have to go through this. Through loosing everything. I still remember the day Hanna and I met them, they would turn out to be our best friends, our family. It was our first day of collage. I’d known Hanna since we where kids, most holidays I’d spent with her and her family. Due to the fact that I didn’t have a family of my own.

Walking through the collage doors and over to the administrators desk to find our dorm rooms. I knew that I’d have to share a room where as Hanna got to have her own one. That was just the way it had panned out. It was sad, we had planned on sharing a dorm and staying together. We found our rooms and walked together with our things. I happened to be on the floor above her so I was glad that I wasn’t that far away from her. I helped her unpack first and once we where happy with how her room looked we made our way up the stairs to mine. Yes I would say that I was anxious, I was about to find out who I was going to be sharing my life with for the next year. So as we stood outside my door and took a deep breath I wondered if this year was going to be as good as I hoped it would be. But being the type of nut that I was I sucked it up opened the door and froze in place. There stood in front of me was a clone of me, just stood there emptying her own suit case. The only difference was that her eyes where grey and mine where blue. We had the same figure, posture, hair, height and by the look on our faces shocked expression too.

“Wow.” She uttered, barely audible. Then it was like she got an electric shock and snapped out of it and walked over to me taking my things and shaking my hand, all the while I’m a complete freak just staring. “Um… Well Hi. I guess I’m your roommate, I’m Anne but you can call me Annie if you want. Which you don’t have to by the way I don’t mind. Wow I’m babbling, stop damn it.” And that’s when Hanna burst into laughter.

“Wow you sound just like Lucy here. You know I think I’m going to like you. Hi I’m Hanna and this staring freak here is Lucy.” They shook hands and the convocation began. That’s when he walked into the room.

“Ann you need help unpacking?” and the first thing I thought was oh my god, he was so hansom with his brown messed up hair and light penetrating green eyes. Then everything crumbled when he walked over to her and put his arm around her. He was hers, her boyfriend. “Wow Ann I didn’t know you had a doppelganger.”

“Ye neither did I.”

It was a definite shock to the system let me tell you. But though we looked like each other, we couldn’t be more different if we tried. Our personalities where so different. Our likes and dislikes. Our music taste for example, I loved more punk/rock sort of music where you can dance around like a maniac and its okay, she liked things like Britney Spears and Pussy cat dolls. I loved to sing with Hanna which we did on a regular basis around our rooms, Annie bless her couldn’t sing to save her life, but that didn’t stop her from trying. I loved blue, she loved pink. I was poor little orphan she was a rich family child. Things that yes made me jealous. But I found that in the end her and Hanna where my family. We hit it off like a house on fire. The three of us where inseparable. Well except for one thing. Annie’s boyfriend Jason. He hung around with us a lot and him and Hanna got on really well. They where in the same course, business studies. While Annie and I where in the same class. English. In our second year when we found our own place Han and I asked Annie to move in with us but understood if she wanted to stay with Jason. She agreed but Jason spent most of his time at our house anyway. To my dismay. We didn’t get along really. I don’t know why, he didn’t seem to like me and my dislike developed over time, I think it initiated from me liking him. Annie and Jay had been going out since right before collage and where both 25 just a year older than me and Hanna. We where all late starters, for various reasons, mine being I couldn’t afford collage right after school and had to work for a while before going, Hanna wouldn’t go without me and Annie travelled before going. Hanna and I where 22 when we started collage and Annie and Jay where 23.

Then about a year and a half after collage ended and we started our jobs he moved in for good, which I was too busy to care at the moment. Annie and I worked for a publishing company and she was a position higher than me, while Hanna went on to being a manager of a retail shop. It wasn’t extravagant but we loved it. I finally had a proper family, and that’s what we considered each other… family. I remember the weekends when we had time off, as we would make dinner.

“Oh this song is perfect!” Hanna squeaked. As she shoved a CD into the CD player. I waited to hear it and Annie was stirring the pasta, Jason next to her lightly touching her side, but still watching us, knowing what would happen next. As the music started Hanna and I started to dance and sing along.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest


Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

We grabbed random utensils off the counter top and started to sing into them as microphones, and we twisted and jumped with the song, singing on top of our lungs. At one point Hanna was stood on top of a chair wiggling her ass at us while singing into a wooden spoon. Annie was bobbing along with us but mostly watching as we made complete fools of ourselfs.

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside


I never...
I never...
I never...

As the song finished Annie laughed and clapped as Hanna and I bowed and carried on to make the food. That usually happened as we made food on the weekends and became quite the routine with Hanna and I. ‘It wasn’t a weekend without letting yourself go at least once’ is what Hanna always said.

And we did every weekend. It’s sad… because I don’t anymore. And it’s all because of that day. The day my world crumbled apart.

Because… they died… because of me.
