Facebook-the story

Emma was the one I was in love with. Not Emily.
It was all wrong. I could not remember a single thing.
Or I did remember.
With all the details wrong.

'Now can you remember?' Emma asked. I could hear her voice shaking.
'Yes. No. I...don't know.' I looked up at Emma. I thought she was Emily. Or was I imagining all along?
'Sorry. I know it would be hard for you. But Emily was dead. It's was not your fault. Just let it go.' Emma gave me a hug that lingered a second too long. I took in the scent of her. It made my heart ache.
'Just...forget everything.' She whispered into my ear before she let go of me.
She stood up and walked off.
I remained on the floor. My head was still cracking with pain. Tears rolled down my face. Memories flashed back like a video being rewind. I could not reconnect all the frames yet I could feel in my heart it was a sad love story.

I did not know which was more painful at that moment. My head or my heart?
