Joshifer: It's Gotta Be Love

Chapter 11 - New Past

~Jennifer's POV

"Of course I won't. Why would I?"

"Nothing. It's just that...you're kind of part of it."

Josh can remember?

"Tell me everything. I'm listening. Tell me more about you." I told him.

He took a deep breath and stared talking.

~Josh's POV

"All my life, I've been acting. Ever since I was nine years old. I called up an acting coach and my parents had no choice but to talk to him. My first role was in a television show, and I started getting more and more roles. I remember having my first movie back then, I didn't really have the leading role, but I got a few praises for it. Before I knew it, everything got bigger and bigger. I was slowly becoming a star. Everything that I wanted - acting, helping my family, and happiness, was just in my hands, and I'm glad that I never let them go. I'm happy about it all. I don't regret everything I did. But then, I woke up in this hospital bed, and my family was crying, and I didn't know they were my family until they told me so. I remembered hanging out with my family, but I couldn't remember that I did all of that acting stuff. I just couldn't. When they told me, all I did was imagine. I couldn't even feel myself doing all those things. I told everything to my mom and dad, and what they said was go back to acting, and I'll feel everything again. I did, and suddenly everything I imagined became real - my parents had videos to prove of it. Even though there was enough evidence, I just feel that something else happened. Something I can't truly remember."

"How does it feel like?"

"What?"

"You know, waking up and not remembering a single thing that happened before."

"Well, in my case, when I woke up, I was still able to so everyday stuff, I just couldn't remember the people I've met and the memories I've made. Like, I know how to live like a person but I don't know where my house is."

"How is that even possible?"

"Well, a mind works a million different ways."

"So why do you feel that something else happened?"

"Well, the mind may be working in a million different ways but that doesn't mean that the heart does, too."

"So, you mean that even though all your memories have been shown in front of you, you still believe deep inside that something else happened?"

"Yes."

"How can you say that?"

"I've been having strange dreams lately."

"Strange dreams?"

"Yes. Those dreams would seem really real, and I can't control them, and it seemed like it really happened in real life. The dreams would look so real, like it really happened."

"So, like, they're the memories that you believe really happened instead of being an artist?"

"Exactly."

"What were these dreams like, anyway?"

"The latest one, to my surprise, includes you, Jen."

"Me? Why does it include me?"

"I don't know either. I couldn't control the dream. It also included another girl."

"Do you know the girl?"

"Well, I saw her with you in a picture at your living room. She was the one wearing the graduation robe."

"Who? Jo?"
