Rose Keegan ❀
"Nah, you're special."
We're at it again, Bella asking me about the mysterious boy crush.
August was slowly fading away in days, and I didn't expect to go that quickly already.
And to be honest, I'm not ready for Autumn…
"Bella, we gotta focus on our studies," I said, looking in front of us was paperwork from our professors.
"I know, but this iced coffee is making me go crazyyyy…" Bella laughed at all that sugar she drank.
"Next time add less sugar, please?" I reply, trying to calm her crazies down.
We were chilling at a coffee shop, studying, and finishing up school's work.
This was our favorite coffee shop and was often known to make the best coffee in England.
And my part-time job.
I slowly laughed with her and continued typing on my laptop until I realized I needed more coffee.
As I get up from my seat to ask for one more cup of coffee at their cashier counter, to refresh myself up.
"Excuse me-" As I try to ask but someone bumps into me out of nowhere and without being careful.
"-Oof!" I cry, being pushed aside.
The man who bumped into me, looks directly at me, and continues walking out of the coffee shop without wondering if I'm alright.
Bella quickly rushed over to my side and asked me if I was alright.
"That was so rude…" Bella looks annoyed and pissed about it.
"I know…" I whisper to myself.
It was more than just being rude…another one of my past flashbacks happened.
***
Laughter.
All I could hear was children's laughter.
"Autumn?"
I look to find that boy's voice through the darkness and in confusion…
My name is Autumn...my first life, my first name, my first childhood memory of winter.
"Autumn? Are you okay?"
I felt a smile on my lips and replied to him.
"I am adorable!" Feeling something in my hair.
Hearing the boy's laughter at my answer, as the darkness around me still clouded my mind.
It felt cold, and somehow snowflakes fell from the sky too.
Christmas…
That boy gave me a red bow for Christmas…

"Rose? Hellooo? You in there?"
Suddenly I heard Bella's voice echoing, waking me up with my senses back from a dream.
I stare to see Bella in front of me with a worried look.
"Uh, yeah. Sorry, that guy must have triggered me something, heh." I reply, smiling back at her softly.
"I'll say, that guy should be sorry! I swear if that guy came anywhere near you again, I'll attack him for you. And kick his baby-making nuts-"
I quickly reassure her and laugh at her plot of vengeance.
"Bella, sis, don't worry. I'm okay." I said, calming her down, but she continued to grumble to herself, swearing for revenge apparently.
It's not like I'm gonna see that man again though.
Yet, it's not like every person could trigger a memory from my past life either.
I still wonder what was that boy's name from my past life…
Because that memory felt heartbreaking…
