Memory Loss

Chapter 15

Chris

I'd been so nervous about calling Katie that by the time I finally did it it was really too late, it was half ten the night before I wanted her to come over and I expected her to say no, trying to be cool I told her it didn't matter if she couldn't make it but then being a total dork I put my foot in it and told her I just really wanted to see and would be sad if she couldn't make it. Lucky for me Katie didn't seem to care that I was being an idiot and agree to come over without hesitation.

The next morning after I had got up and eaten the breakfast mum had cooked I decided to head to my den and try and get into my laptop. I'd been trying for half an hour when Katie walked it. I closed the laptop down and offered her a drink, feeling like an idiot because I had no idea where anything was in here, I'd only just memorised the kitchen, no doubt mum would change it next week and i'd be lost again but hey, at least Sophie and Dad would be too. I thought about suggesting that to her later when katie touched my arm and told me that things would get better. I looked at my arm for way to look after she let go, it felt so warm where her hand had been, I wanted her to do it again.

I looked up and saw she had found some coke in the back of a cupboard and was pooring me some, I was shocked she'd found anything until I realised she must have been here before.

I sat on the sofa and it wasn't until she sat down that I realised the laptop was open.

"Oh my god, did you?" I asked because at that point I was wondering if I was going nuts. She just smiled at me and nodded. I couldn't believe this girl, she was brilliant.

"What was the password?" I asked wondering how on earth she had guessed it.

"Katie Green." she told me.

It took me a minute to realised that that must be her full name, I was suddenly worried why her name would  be my password, what if i'd been dating Tiffany but actually really like Katie. I asked her why and was thankful that it wasn't anything crazy, just convience to keep my laptop Brett free.

Later when I found out that she was helping me with Sophie's surprise party, the one I was meant to be organising and had of course totally forgotten about I wondered what I was doing with Tiffany at all. Katie was kind, helpful, funny and very pretty I hadn't really thought about it before. She showed me the necklace that she had picked up for Sophie and remembering how her touching my arm felt I put it on the table and hugged her. She pulled away really quickly though and I realised I must have got things wrong, maybe I did fancy Katie before but she obviously didn't feel the same about me. For some reason that made me feel sad.

I sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself and she sat next to me and took my hand, I felt better and she hadn't even said anything. I squeezed her hand as she spoke and then remembered back to something she said earlier about me not drinking beer. She didn't seem to want to tell me untill I practically begged her.

What she told me shocked me, I would never had guess something like that to come out of my question but I could tell it was the truth, it was strange the more I looked at her the more I felt like I knew her, and what she was thinking and feeling I just didn't understand why. I hated thinking that I could have really liked her and yet for some reason I was with Tiffany. I told her I didn't really trust Tiffany because I felt like I could be honest with Katie and no matter what I told her it wouldn't scare her away. I tried to explain how I felt about her but I couldn't, I couldn't trust my own feelings and that scared me.

She seemed to know alot about Amnesia and she told me she's read up on it, which I throught was not only strange but maybe kinda cute. She clearly wanted to help me and she gave me some great advice, if im honest with myself I'd already decided after the first time she touch me that I was going to break up with Tiffany but hearing her joke about it made my heart swell and I wondered if maybe just maybe the new Chris could date Katie.
