Memories surrounded me in my head. All of them with Kenzi and me. My head hurt from all the memories. Mark and Zack came and saw me struggling. I couldn't stand, I couldn't walk. I fell to the floor, clutching my head. What is happening?! "Make it stop! Make it stop! It hurts! It hurts!" I screamed. People in the hallway came and one called the school nurse. I felt my consciousness slip. I don't get it. How can memories-MEMORIES make you lose your consciousness? I was in the darkness. Surrounded by memories. Lots of them. I looked at one. It was last year's Christmas Eve and I was shopping for a gift for Kenzi.
"What should I get for Kenzi and Kai?" memory me asked herself
She-I-whatever's eyes lingered to the newest Harry Potter book that was out. Kenzi didn't have it, so I decided to buy it for her. Then, I saw a cute cheetah night lamp for Kai. I paid and went to the place where you can get your present boxed and wrapped. Back at the orphanage, Kenzi and I put the gifts we bought under the tree. The next morning, we opened presents. By we, I mean the whole orphanage which has about... 20ish kids. All the gifts were amazing.
The next memory came.
Kenzi, Mark, Zack, and I were walking to our homes together. There was a huge puddle and a car came. The wheels went into the puddle, splashing all of us. We laughed. When Kenzi and I were back at the orphanage, we changed into fresh clothes. Kenzi went to check on Kai and I went to go to Zack's house along with Mark. Kenzi and Mark and Zack weren't exactly friends, so Kenzi didn't go.
My eyes filled with tears. I think. I am unconscious, I don't know what I am doing. I wanted to wake up. The memories were hurting me so much. I wanted to scream. I wanted to thrash. But I couldn't even feel my body. Suddenly, my eyes shot open. I held my head and groaned. My vision was blurry, but I could make out two figures. Mark and Zack. I wanted to talk to them. I wanted to move. But I couldn't. The pain was keeping my mouth shut. The nurse came. I think. It could have been someone else. She gave me this medicine that tastes like strawberries. I immediately felt better and I could see better.
"What happened?" Zack demanded
"Yeah, you gave us a serious heart attack," Mark said
"I dunno. Memories were in my head and there were too many. It hurt bad. I don't know if that's possible or not," I say
"It could be," Dr. Coral said, "If you were stressed or depressed and the memories were like flashbacks or something, she would've been painful."
I looked down.
"The memories were of Kenzi, weren't they?" Mark asked
I nod sadly, still looking down
"Well, Luna, I advise you to take it easy for the rest of the day. Mark and Zack, can you help her get up and walk her to her next class?"
They nod and I put an arm around each of their necks.
I miss Kenzi so much and I hope she misses me. She probably is having an amazing time and forgotten all about me. *Sigh*.
