FORGOTTEN MEMORY'S ( SHANNON LETO)

CHAPTER 8

PRESENT DAY

After lunch was finished Shannon wanted to take Jack into the studio. He wanted to show Jack his drum kit. Jack was very excited to see the Shannon Leto's drums, who he now knows as daddy. Jared and I washed up whilst they banged away on what Shannon calls his one true girlfriend.

As I looked out the window I couldn't help but to think what my life would have been like if I didn't have the accident. Would Shannon and I be together or would he be tempted too much from all the women that throw themselves at him. Am I just a fling because of all the emotions going threw him right now from Jack, or does he really care for me.

JL" He does care for you. More than he let's on". Jared said as he must have read what I was thinking. C" How do you know that" JL" Because I'm his brother. I know everything he's thinking" C" I thought only twins did that" JL" We really are. Shhhh".

We both smiled at each other at how silly that sounded then began to laugh out loud. Jared new how to calm me even though we had only just met. I felt safe with these people like I had new them in another life. I know I had met Shannon but from what I know of, we didn't really socialize with other's.

I finished drying the last dish when Shannon grabbed me from behind. It frightened me so much that I jumped and the dish fell on the ground as Jared was about to grabbed it from me. JL" Good one Shan" S" Sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you" C" It's fine, just unexpected".

Without realizing I stepped away from him keeping my distance. It's something that I had always done, like a protective shield, ever since I can remember. I started to pick up the big chunks whilst Jared got the broom. I looked up at Shannon who was now across the other side of the room. He had a look on his face. The type that I see on Jack's when he thinks that I'm mad at him.

C" Are you ok". I said in a soft calming voice. S" Are you. I did say I was sorry" C" I know. I said it was ok" S" Is it. Because your body is telling me something completely different. All I did was touch you". I wasn't sure how to explain it to him without him getting upset. C" I don't mean to be distant. I'm still getting my head around all this. You have to remember that it's only ever really been Jack and I. I had to believe in my gut to trust complete strangers. I know we have met before, I mean you are my son's father but I don't really know you" S" So you will give yourself to me but you don't trust me" C" That's not what I ment" JL" I get it". Jared said as he entered the room. S" Well then can you explain it to me then".

Shannon looked annoyed and sounded pissed off. I wasn't completely sure but I felt that maybe he thought that something was going on between Jared and I. I could see by the way that he was looking at us. Jared seemed to understand me better than Shannon could but I could also tell that Shannon was trying to pick up where we left, forgetting about my memery loss.

I left the room to help Jack whilst I left them to sort it out. One thing I did know was to never step between two brother's, especially close one's. I new that the truth would come out and Shannon would see that he had nothing to worry about. I like him, a lot, but he also needs to remember that all of this is new for me.

I've spent the last 5 years putting myself back together from scratch and just when I thought there couldn't be no more for me to learn, Shannon comes along. I feel that this will be the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me, but then again, I did feel the same way about being a parent.
