Perfect Lies

Chapter 2: I'm Not Sure

We went to a castle. I was so excited Hank chuckled and kissed me.

"I'll show you to our room." He said quietly.

"We have the same room?" I asked generally confused. Seems like a reoccurring thing.

"Yeah unless you want a different one." He looked sad. How could I say no?

"No no it's fine."

We went into the room, and it was beautiful. It was a mix of red and black. Those colors seemed comforting.

"Wow I love it."

"Well come here."

I went over to him and he kissed me. I kissed him back, but something felt off. I pushed him away.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"I'm not sure."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure if this is right." I looked at him, and something wasn't right.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel like I know you, but I don't think it's like this." I said.

"Sweet heart I know you are confused but-" I cut him off.

"I need to leave." I got up and walked out the room.

He was behind me, and grabbed me. I spun around and saw him with a determined look.

"You are not leaving." He said coldly.

"Yes I am." I jerked my arm away, and ran out.

I hopped on the nearest motorcycle, and took off. I drove until I got to the house. Luckily I'd payed attention when we went to the castle. I walked in the door and was attacked by Michael.

"Are you ok? Where have you been?" He asked with concern clear in his eyes.

"I'm ok and I went with Hank." I said as anger colored his features.

"What? You were with HANK?" He asked outraged.

"Yes but as you can see I left." I said.

"Well that's good. I want you to follow me." He grabbed my hand, and led me to a room.

"Where are we?"

The room was beautiful. There was a crystal chandelier. The walls seemed to be glowing and the atmosphere was just....well........intoxicating.

"This is a place I built for us to get away."

"Wow."

He grabbed my hand again, and led me to his car. We drove to a breath taking lake. He sat down.

"Do you remember here." He asked in a quiet voice.

"N-no." The truth was that it was like something was trying to get through to me.

"I-I thought maybe if I brought you here you would remember." He said in a broken tone.

The fact was I wasn't sure if I wanted to remember. Then my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Emilie?" A male voice said.

"Who is this?"

"Your brother Jack."

I had a brother?

"Um..."

"Look I know you don't know, but try for me actually try."

It was like he read my mind. I wasn't trying to remember because I didn't know if I wanted to.

"Ok."

"Bye Em."

"Bye Jack."

I looked at Michael.

"Emilie I love you, and I won't hide it." He said while taking my hand.

"I-I."

"Don't it's too much pain. Can I?"

He kissed me, and I froze because my whole world exploded.
