A Forgotten Memory

"Of course"

Aiden's POV

"You're such a whore and have no life ahead of you! You're a ugly mistake that should have never been born!" my mother screams at me as I stand staring back at her. "What did I ever do to deserve this?! It's not my fault that my father left a drunk like you!" I screamed back as a beer bottle was thrown at my head. My vision become blurry and a pain shoots throughout my body. I stand and run out the door as fast as I can.

"You should just kill yourself! No one would care!! No one will miss you!!" screams after me. I suddenly bump into someone and apologize, gasping for air. As the person turns I realize it to be Adam crying. "Are you okay?" I ask, confused. "Why can't you love me? I love you with all of my heart and now you can't even remember me" he replies, crying. Tears run down my cheeks. "I'm sorry Adam I wish I could remember. I really do" I whisper. His head shakes as he raises a gun, firing it into his cranium.

I scream awake, tears falling from my face. "Aiden. Are you alright?" Adam asks, rushing over to me, grabbing my hand. I whimper and shake my head. "Why did my mother and Dawn have to do this to me? I can't even remember my own boyfriend. What if you end up leaving after I remember? What if I never remember who you are and you end up hurting yourself. Adam I'm so sorry" I bawl. He sits up on the bed and holds me to him gently but protectively. "I just want to remember..." I cry, feeling useless. He tilts my face up to look him in the eyes.

"No matter what happens Aiden. I will always be here for you. Don't give up yet, love. We have two weeks" he whispers.  Tears continued to roll down my cheeks as my heart rate sped up. My actions take over as I pull his head down, connecting our lips. Just as they say in fairy tales, sparks were flying. Electricity ran through my veins and butterflies filled my stomach. Suddenly, it all comes rushing back so fast. The slop. The beatings. The music store. Alex. Josh. Ty and Tyler. Adam when he asked me. I smile and kiss back. I remember! I remember!! I pull away smiling and tearing up.

"Don't be sad honey" Adam says, wiping away my tears. "That was our first kiss Adam. I remember. I remember everything!" I exclaim, happily. He smiles and pulls me into another tight yet gentle hug. "I love you Aiden so much" he whispers. I smile. "I love you too Adam" I reply, suddenly remembering something. "Adam... you said that I was nothing... that I didn't mean anything.. then you kissed Dawn. In front of me" I say, my heart sinking. Adam pulls away with guilt spread across his face. "Aiden I didn't mean a word. I had to pretend so I could get my gun back. I promise I love you and only you" he answers. Slowly, the guilt fades to hope. I nod, smiling uncontrollably. I have my memories back! I remember!

"You need sleep. I'll be right here if you need me" he says, sitting in the chair next to me then taking my hand once again. "Adam?" I question, looking over at him. His eyebrows raise in response, making me giggle. "Can you sing me to sleep?" I ask, giving him the puppy dog eyes. He chuckles and rubs the back of his neck in nervousness. His hand drops and a nervous smile plasters on to his face. "Of course" he simply replies, adjusting himself in his seat.

Slowly, he begins to sing Hallelujah. I knew Adam could sing but I never thought this well! I couldn't help but smile as he sang the lyrics one by one. About halfway through the song my eyes become suddenly heavy and my mind becomes loose of thoughts. I fell into a deep sleep with a kiss on my forehead, my hand in my love's and in a moment that I wouldn't trade the greatest riches for. Adam does care. He does love me. I remember.

"WAKE UP YOU SLUT!" Dawn screams, making me jump awake. I look around the room realizing where I was. "No... this can't be real... I was rescued. Why am I here?!" I scream, tears filling my eyes. I glance up at Dawn, my heart sinking. It was all a dream. I was still in the dark room with slop laying in front of me. She smirks at me, kneeling down in front of me. "What? Did you have a dream and woke up to a beautiful nightmare?" Dawn chuckles, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "How pitiful" she answers, slapping me across the face, then standing up. She strolls out of the room while my eyes never leave the floor. Adam doesn't know where I am. I doubt he even will think about the casino. He's not coming to save me. I'm going to die.

(A/N~ If you are confused, it turned out to all be a dream. Adam and the guys have only looked for clues and nothing more. Aiden dreamed that Adam was depressed, found a clue and rescued her. So, after waking up she realizes that Adam has no clue where she is. It basically jumps back to the chapter where she is kidnapped except a week later. My apologies for those who became confused)
