Tiffany's POV:
Weeks have past and still nothing. I don't remember anything. My parents and Avery keep telling me they can't tell me anything cause they weren't with me in recent memories. It was something that makes me try harder to actually remember anything.
I've had a few visitors mainly Avery, her cousin Cece and her friend or so she says Tyler. I remember that name from the phone Avery has told me multiple times that is mine. I still don't believe it though. But I highly doubt he is that Tyler.
But I've noticed when Cece and Tyler have been visiting on their own they seem to have a hard time being away from each other. So one time when Tyler asks to use the bathroom I take my time to question Cece about it. The only thing she told me was that they were nothing more than friends, but I had a hard time believing her.
Another time Avery told me that Cece just found something that she lost a long time ago.
I was just tiding up my room when a knock sounds at my door. I turn my head to look over my shoulder and see Tyler standing there with a smile on his lips. His blonde hair in a tousled mess on his head as always, like he has run his hand through it too many times but I got to admit he still looks attractive.
"Hey Tyler." I say with a smile going back to picking up the clothes off the floor and throwing them in the clothes basket. "No Cece today?" I ask turning to face him.
"Nope, she has work today." He tells me, "But I wanted to come and see how you're doing."
I nod with an amused smile. "Okay. I'm doing fine, just cleaning up a bit."
"Do you need help?"
"Well I'm not just going to let you stand there all day doing nothing." I smile and nod my head towards the door. "Can you go ask mom for a garbage bag? She's just downstairs in the kitchen."
He walks out of the room and comes back in a few minutes later with a roll of garbage bags.
"Thanks, um there's not really much to do but you can help me sort out my clothes. I just want to throw out clothes that I don't want or wear anymore." I explain.
"Okay, let's do this."
"So, um- how do you know Cece?" I ask Tyler a little while later.
Tyler looks at me, finishing tying a garbage bag full of the clothes I don't want, it didn't take long as I didn't have much clothes. He sits down on the edge of the bed and smiles.
"It was a long time ago actually. We used to go to school together, we used to date, but we broke up because her family had to move. It was for the best really, long distance relationships don't really work." He tells me, I nod slowly. "Anyways, I arrived a few weeks back with my family and a few friends due to certain circumstances and I just bumped into her, and it just happens she was in town the same time I was."
"Aww, that's cute. You guys should get back together!"
He shakes his head, "She has a boyfriend."
Oh.
I give him an encouraging smile, "I'm sure you can fight for he-"
My eyes fly shut and my hands rush to my head when I feel a sharp pain.
An flash of images and a jumble of words run through my head.
"I know what's happening to you."
"You are living in our house after all."
"Tiff, you like your room?"
"Tiff, come on we have to go. Training starts in a few hours."
I groan in pain as the mixture of different voices tune in and out of my head and then it goes away, just like that.
"Tiffany? Tiffany?" I hear a voice calling.
"She's needs to go to the hospital." Another voice says.
"Let's just hurry."
That's the last thing I hear before falling into the darkness.
--
"She's fine." I hear a someone say. "It's just something that happens after she gets some of her memories back, it won't be all of them but it could be a few. She just needs to rest and she'll be fine."
I open my eyes blinking, thankfully when I open my eyes the light in the room is dimmed and low. I look around me and realise I'm in a hospital. I see mom talking to the doctor and standing beside them is Tyler, Avery and Cece.
Avery's the first one to notice that I'm awake and she comes rushing over to me.
"Tiffany! Are you okay? You had us all worried."
I smile and nod. "I feel just fine, you heard the doctor I'll be just fine."
She nods her head. "Did you get any memories back?" She asks me cautiously, everyone's been tiptoeing the subject ever since I got out of hospital weeks ago.
"A few voices and places that are really unfamiliar to me. It'll take time I guess." I tell her with a shrug.
It was then that when I look behind her and see someone who I haven't seen since that awkward day at the hospital or that weird text message. But this time he looks different and when I look at him it feels different. Just something about him seems... I don't know, familiar.
When I got out of hospital, for weeks I felt like something felt wrong, like something was missing. But I just thought it was my memory.
Looking at him now, here in that very same hospital, I felt weird. But I have no idea why. But I can say he looks really worried and as his eyes connect with mine he sends me a small heart stopping smile and walks away.
"What's that guy doing here?" I ask Avery, she turns and looks out the door before turning back to me.
"You mean Kyle right?"
"Kyle..." His name felt right rolling off my tongue but I still couldn't figure out why. "Yeah, him."
She smiles and continues, "Well like the rest of us, he was worried. You've been out for a few hours now, but the doc said it was normal."
"Okay then. So when can I go home?"
--
"Tiffany! Dinner's ready!" Mom calls from downstairs.
"Coming!"
Dinner was... Awkward. My parents tried to avoid all the questions about my memory but it was my little sister who didn't, as soon as she asked I could slice the tension with a knife.
I answered telling them the truth. I only got jumbled words and a flash of images that I don't remember. Thankfully the questions stopped there.
Tyler visited again with Cece and Avery, asking if I wanted to join them at the mall. At first I didn't want to, I hated shopping but Avery promised we're only going to get some movies to watch at her house later. I told her the only way I was going anywhere is if I get my favourite meat lovers pizza from my favourite pizza shop in town. And that's exactly what I got.
So now we were in the middle of deciding what movie to watch.
"Nope. Ty, I want to watch Wild Child." Cece says pouting while looking at the cover.
"No chick flicks. And plus I want to watch the newest Maze Runner movie. I haven't seen that yet." Tyler says and instantly I'm agreeing with him.
"If it has the sexy Dylan O'Brien in it then I'm definitely in." I say with a grin.
"Uhuh, I'm with these two on this one cuz. The Maze Runner it is." Avery says bumping my shoulder, making me bump Tyler's shoulder like a domino effect.
"You guys suck. I've already seen that movie and as much as I love Dylan's hotness, I think I'm going to pass. Wild Child though, I seriously love that movie and omg it has Emma Roberts in it and I just love her." Cece says with excitement.
None of us agree to that movie, and as much as I love Wild Child I really want to watch the newest Maze Runner because I haven't seen it. But we end up hiring both movies and on the way home as promised I get my favourite pizza. When we get to Avery's, a car that is unfamiliar to me is parked in the drive.
"Are you expecting visitors?" I ask her and she shakes her head.
"No, I invited Kyle over to watch a movie with us. He was getting bored in his apartment and well his sister went out with their friend Aaron and Callum- Aaron's brother decided to go sightseeing." She explains.
Right, of course boys will go sightseeing. Sightseeing is the best thing really, you go to a place or more specifically a beach or a place guys love to hang out and chill, and then you check out the guys. Or well in this case for this Callum dude, check out the girls.
"Right."
"Actually Callum messaged me earlier and told me he's also watching movies with us." Tyler tells us. Unsure of how Tyler even knows these people, I don't say anything.
"Oh great, so we have a man whore in the house. That's just lovely."
"Callum's really not that bad of a guy. Trust me on this."
"You know Tiff-"
"Don't call me Tiff. I hate it." I tell Callum, narrowing my eyes.
"Right, well it's not like you didn't let a certain someone call you that." Callum mumbles but I heard him alright, very clearly.
"Excuse you, I don't even know you mate. And if someone actually called me that and I let them well that sounds nothing like me."
"Little- T." My eyes snap to Tyler whose eyes are now wide realising something. "Tiffany-"
Instantly my head feels light. My vision blurs and a jumble of words fill my head again.
"Tyler. Tyler Conaway, Kyle's older brother."
Images of Tyler in the dark room appear and disappear before another image appears of Tyler in the kitchen flipping crepes.
"Sure, as long as I get to call you little-T."
Images of Kyle and Tyler in the kitchen pop up and this time there's sandwiches on the bench top.
"What's with the nickname Ty. Little- T." Laughter follows
I snap out of my memories and look up to see everyone staring at me... No they were looking at me with worry.
I look to Tyler and then to Kyle, still having no clue how the hell I know these people. I get up from the lounge still looking around me like there's danger close by. I slowly walk away, their mouths are moving but I'm not hearing them, all I know is that Tyler's been lying to me about something. So is Avery, she knows more then I think she does. And Kyle, well he's obviously apart of this, his brother is Tyler for goodness sake.
And then it clicks. Tyler, his family and friends came back due to certain circumstances. Cece just happened to be in town at the same time. They were both here for the same reason... Me.
My eyes scan the room before turning on my heels and running, running until I'm out of the house and running until I get as far away as I can from all of them. They're all hiding something from me, and I have yet to find out.
--
Minutes and hours pass by so fast that I don't even realise that it's been close to three months since this whole fiasco. I did my best to find out as much as I could with the little information given to me in at a ridiculously slow pace.
Day by day.
Night by night.
Little things would make me remember. But I didn't get the answers I needed. I got memories back that were useless. And to think I still don't know who Kyle, Tyler and his posse is makes me go in bloody sane.
Apparently Kyle had to go back to wherever he lives because something really important came up and had to get home asap. That's a load of BS if you ask me.
I was told to avoid driving for many reasons, mainly because if anything comes back while I'm driving I could cause a really bad accident. It was for my safety and everyone else's.
I felt like going down to the field to play some soccer on my own, and I felt like driving there. So I took mom's car, put my bag on the backseat and headed to where I feel... I guess you could say I feel safe.
I missed the final game, the big game where my team won the championships. I stuffed up big time and I have no idea why.
The girls and my coach from the team came and visited me while I was in hospital, which I was grateful for. They told me about the game and bombarded me with numerous questions, making my mom ask them to leave politely.
I get to the field safely, thankfully.
I get out of the car locking it up before walking over to the metal gates and just smile and look at the green grass, watching the sun shine down on it making it shine. I walk through the field taking the ball with me. Kicking it and playing around with it, doing some cool tricks. And I decide to do what I would have if I scored that goal at the championships.
I place the ball not far from the goal and breathe, picturing myself at the game, the crowds cheering loudly screaming for our team. My team cheering me on. I nod and kick the ball and it goes right through the goals. And the crowd goes wild.
The goals here don't have netting so the ball keeps rolling until it passes the bleachers. I chase after it soon stopping it with my foot. I look around to see I'm behind the bleachers and this time I remember something. Something big. Something that probably answers all my questions.
I hear a loud scream, I close my eyes to stop to the pain but when they open I realise the scream wasn't even real.
I watch the scenes flash by in my head like a movie, making my head feel heavy. And before I know it, I got the answers I wanted. I know what happened to me.
The Elementaret. The reason I had to move to be safe.
Kyle...my gosh, he's my boyfriend, or was. Kyle is also my protector who saved me life on way to many occasions. His favourite thing to do with me was watch episode marathons whenever we could.
Tyler, he's Kyle's brother and my good friend, he is also a very good cook and gives out good advice when needed.
Callum, he's my good who knows how to cheer me up, also wants Skylar and Aaron together, but overall he can be very flirty and a tease.
Aaron, well he helped me train, train to keep me alive.
Skylar, a very energetic and amazing girl. Also the oldest sibling of the Conaway family.
I got stabbed here. Behind the bleachers, while trying to save my little sister.
I saved her, killed a guy and forgot people who are really important to me. And Avery, well she most probably knows everything. She seemed close to Kyle and Tyler so they must have had to tell her.
Three months have passed, ignoring not only Tyler and Kyle, but Cece and Avery too. I didn't want to see any of them and they were all just trying to protect me. Making sure I was safe. And ignoring my best friend was the hardest thing I could ever do, especially for nearly three months.
I felt like a whole again, only I'm still missing parts of my puzzle. Really important parts. So I rush back to the car, heavy headed or not this is really important. I messaged Avery to tell her to meet me at mine in five, before putting the key in the ignition. That's the last thing I remember before feeling like I'm falling and end up in total darkness.
--
For the third time I wake up in hospital. Still not used to the bright white light, I wince when I open my eyes and when I turn my head I find Avery looking at me with concern.
"Oh thank God! Seriously Tiffany, you need to stop doing that!" She exclaims.
"And what did I do?"
She shakes her head, "Worry us. This time you backed into a bloody tree. A tree. What the hell were you doing driving in the first place? You're really lucky it was a tree in the field car park and not a freaking person or another car."
"Sorry Avs. But what do you want me to say. I lost my memory and couldn't remember barely anything and thankfully after months of waiting to get it back I did."
"Wait wh-"
"Where's Kyle? And Tyler?" I ask her. She is sitting there frozen and just staring blankly at me. "Hello? Avery, where are they?" I say clicking my fingers in front of her face.
"They had to go home, remember? Some emergency." She tells me. Blinking once. Twice. "Don't tell me. I know what you're thinking." I wait for her to continue. "You're going there aren't you." I nod simply and she grins, "Well then I'm coming with you."
"If you help me get out of here first."
