THE JOURNEY OF US

Chapter 20

   I was breathing heavily. I took out my phone from my purse. It was dead. I forgot to charge it. I was trying to breathe. Suddenly I heard Josh. He was searching for me. 

   I yelled, “I am here. Please help me get out of here.” He found me. He tried to open it. The door was locked. He pushed the door hard and tried to bump it. 

   I was losing oxygen. I was going to faint when I started to remember that it wasn't my first time. I remember when I had my panic attack when I was locked in with Josh. 

  I collapsed on the floor. The door broke and Josh came near me and started yelling, “Lydia. Lydia, open your eyes. Are you alright? Answer me.”

  I found myself at the park when I opened my eyes. I was Josh saying, “Are you okay now.” I said, “Yes. Thank you for saving me once again.” “I remember everything now. My memories came back.” 

  Josh was excited and shocked at the same time. I said, “I accept your proposal.” Josh started to glare at me. I said, “You can date me now.” Josh was excited and hugged me tightly. I said, “First I need to go at my apartment and tell Julia I remember everything and charge my phone.

  Josh dropped me at my apartment. I entered my apartment. I saw Chris helping Julia with her assignments. I said, “Guys. My memories are back.” They both looked at me and said, “Really. How?” 

  I told them that I was locked in the storage again and I was having a panic attack. But Josh saved me again. Then I remember everything. 

  Julia said, “Good for you. Now you know everything about Josh and can stay away from him.” I said, “Yes. I need to talk about that.” 

  Chris said, “What?” I said slowly, “Please don't freak out but I am dating him.” Julia and Chris freaked out and were too stunned to speak.”

  Julia said, “When did it start?” Chris asked, “Why him? Don't you hate him?” I said, “I started to date him at least an hour ago. And I like him now.” 

  Chris said, “Doesn't he break hearts?” I said, “He did that to become class president only. And also he has changed. He saved me many times. He loves me. He apologised to me again and again.” 

   Julia said, “Alright.” I said, “I will change him and make him a good person.” Chris and Julia looked at each other. 

  “And I am going on a long drive with him tomorrow. Isn't this exciting.” I said smiling. We started to discuss it all night. I helped Julia with her assignments too.
