Thinking About it ( a mindless behaviour story )

Who kept this lie?

The next day I woke up to silence, complete an utter silence. The memories from last night were fresh in my head. Probably because those were he only memories I can remember.

I slowly got out of bed reminiscing about everything really, why I would take drugs, who Cassie is, why I felt so much that someone had died.

As I made my way around the hotel room noticing that everyone was gone I found myself in the kitchen where I spotted a note, I was about to pick it up when the phone rang and scared the shit out of me.

On the phone

"Hello" I said

"Aria! I'm so glad to hear from you. Kenneth said you would be here." A lady said

"Um right, and who's this?" I said

"Aria it's me, mom,"

" mom? Oh right mom? Sorry you're voice sounds different." I lied

I couldn't tell my mother I had no idea who she was, whether I knew her or not I didn't want her to panic her voice sounded stressed out as it is.

"Oh sweetie I'm SOO happy you're ok, Kenneth was telling me something about a slight concussion that the life out of me."

"Concussion? No mom I'm fine."

"Well I'm happy to hear that, I just called to tell you that RJ is doing so much better, but doctors say if he keeps stressing and worrying over you it'll take him longer to heal"

Rj? Rj? Rj? Rj? Rj? Rj? 

RJ!!! 

"but I thought RJ was in a coma?"

How did I know that? Who is rj?

"I thought your father called you and told you, aria RJ woke up from a come weeks ago!"

I wasn't sure if u should be too happy about this considering I barely know who he is. All I can remember is him being in a coma,

"Oh I didn't know that, he must have forgotten." I said

"I'm not sure your father would forget something like that, are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah mom I'm fine."

" oh ok" she said unconvincingly " we'll RJ just woke up from his nap and is dying to speak to you." She said as she handed the phone to rj.

"Aria?" he said with a raspy voice.

" rj? , hey how are you feeling?." I said not really knowing what to say.

" I should be asking you the same thing rugrat?"

I'm taking a chance here but I'm going to guess he's a cousin.

" well cous, I'm feeling a lot better, a bit sore but better."

Rjs pov

"Did you just call me your cousin?"

That's when I knew something was wrong, I thought it was more of a brother-sister thing so I asked mom to leave,

" yeah that's what you are right? My cousin?"

"Aria, you're gonna tell me what's really going on and your gonna do it now."

She paused for a moment, took a deep breath in and spoke

" I lost my memory, well most of it I can't remember what happened to me? Why it happened to me? When mom called I barely knew who she was? I don't know why I would have ever taken drugs? Something tells me Princeton did all of this? Everybody here is acting like I know them? When all I know is what they've told me. And I barely know who you are but all I can remember is that you were in a coma and somebody died and I'm just so confused and nobody is explaining anything to me and I don't know what to do."
