Selenas POV

After my breakdown, I haven’t really been talking to anyone. Since I didn’t remember moving here to England, I didn’t know anyone but my dad. I couldn’t face my dad yet. He just reminded me of mom.. And. I just couldn’t. I’ve been locking myself in my room for the past week, only leaving to get food. If I’m not crying, I’m either sleeping or wasting pointless hours on tumblr.

My phone was blown up with messages from Logan, and some other people named Harry, Ashley, and Taylor. Since I didn’t remember them I didn’t bother replying.

I had just run out of food and my stomach was growling for the past hour. I slumped out of bed and slowly opened my door, walking down the steps.

I saw my dad in the living room so I quietly tip toed to the kitchen. I opened the cabinets grabbing a couple bags of chips and a few water bottles.

I heard someone clear their throat causing me to drop everything to the floor.

“Honey, you can’t stay in your room forever.” My dad said next to the door frame.

“Why not?” I mumbled. “It’s been working so far.”

“You’ve missed a whole week of school, and you have to talk to someone.” He sighed.

“I’m not going to school! I don’t know anyone! Everyone’s going to look at me like I’m a freak!” I said losing my temper.

“How will you know until you try?” He asked.

“Dad.” I groaned.

“At least get out of the house for a few hours and do something.” He said.

“But I don’t know this place, I’ll get lost.”

“You don’t have to go far, just walk around the neighborhood or something.”

“Fine.” I mumbled.

I left the pile of food on the floor and went upstairs to my room to get showered and changed.  I changed into a pair of light skinny jeans, a light blue shirt, a dark blue jacket and a pair of vans. I left my hair down, too tired to do anything to it. I grabbed my phone placing it in my pocket and went downstairs.

“Bye dad.” I said effortlessly leaving the house.

I walked the streets zipping up my jacket, not used to the cold weather. “So much for a nice day.” I mumbled.

I crossed the road going over to a small park sitting on a bench. I smiled as I saw little kids running around while their parents chased them. I sighed wishing I could be young again, having both of my parents.

I sat up from the bench and turned only to bump into someone. “Sorry.” I mumbled.

“Selena!” The unfamiliar boy said, pulling me into a tight hug making me uncomfortable.

“Uh, um. Hi, and you are?” I asked pulling away making more distance between us.

“I’m Jake, I’m one of your friends from school. I’m so sorry about the accident.” He said.

“Oh, thanks.” I said.

“How long did the doctors say till you regain your memory?” he asked.

“They said it’s temporary, but they don’t really know when I’ll be getting it back. A few months probably.”

“Oh well, I suppose that’s good news. At least it’s not permanent.”

“Thankfully.”

“So um, do you want to do something?” He asked.

“Sure, I guess. Like what?”

“I got this really cool new movie room at my place, it’s like my own personal movie theater.”

“That’s cool.” I said smiling a bit. “Leggo.” I said, trying to make it less awkward.

“I’ll race you there.” He said, already running ahead.

“Hey that’s not fair, I don’t know where you live!” I said, running after him.

“I guess I win then!” He yelled, still running.

Once we got there I was out of breath and breathing heavily.  “Cmon slow poke, movie rooms this way.” He said leading me down the hall.

“Holy crap, this is awesome.” I said glancing at the giant screen and theater seats spread out across the room.

“Yep!” He said. “You can pick the movie.”

“Yay!” I said, heading over to the endless shelf of movies.

I ended up picking “Finding Nemo” cause well, that movies legendary.

When I went to give the dvd to Jake, I almost fell back because he was right behind me.

“You scared me!” I said regaining my balance.

I swear all you could hear was my heart beat racing, it was strangely quiet. He was just staring at me with this weird look on his face.

“Um, are you alright?” I asked confused.

“You know, you shouldn’t follow strangers into their homes.” He said backing me up into the wall.

“Um, what?” I asked.

“It’s a shame you’re such a nice person, nice people always get hurt.” He said, placing his hands on my waste.

“Stop it.” I said, throwing his arms off.

“You’re in my territory now.” He said grabbing me and throwing me onto one of the chairs, hovering on top of me.

“JAKE!” I screamed kicking him off.

I sprinted down the hallway, opening the front door and ran out. As I was on the last step on the porch, he grabbed my waste pulling me back.

“HELP!” I screamed. He covered my mouth, yanking me inside and shutting the door.

“You don’t want to make me mad.” He spat, back handing my face.

“P-please let me go.” I whimpered, placing my hands on the part of my face where he hit.

“Time to go play a game.” He said, gripping onto my arm and pulling me into a room.

“LET ME GO!” I screamed trying to get out of his grip. He tugged me through the room, pushing me onto the floor and closing the door behind him.

No one could hear my screams now.

Logans POV

The last week had been awful. The person I cared about the most didn’t even remember me, and it was all my fault. If I had just listened to Taylor, she wouldn’t of gotten hurt. Taylor hasn’t left me alone. Every day at school she tries to flirt with me, and when I don’t flirt back she threatens me by hurting Selena again. What the hell was her problem?

I text Selena multiple times a day asking how she is, but she doesn’t reply. It rips me apart inside.

School was finally over, and I didn’t feel like going home. It wasn’t home, it was hell. I didn’t feel like getting yelled at and bossed around, so I walked around the neighborhood a bit.

I went to kick a stone but I missed and hit my foot against the cement. “Shit.” I groaned.

I sat down on the side walk, threw my shoe off and looked at my foot. Great, I was bleeding through my socks.

I put my shoe back on and just sat there for a few minutes. When I got up, I heard someone scream “HELP!” causing me to look around.

The voice reminded me of someone. Shit.

Selena?
