Not Your Usual Highschool Life

Chapter 4 "The Truth"

"Do you not remember anything about it? Do you think the scar on your forehead was already there when you were born? Do you not remember the guy who had saved your life? The guy who pulled you out of the burning car?" She asked me

"No."

"Wow, your amnesia is pretty bad huh?" She asked while raising an eyebrow.

"What amnesia? My mom never told me anything about me having an amnesia." I was so confused, is she trying to tell a lie? To manipulate me? To sabotage me so i don't participate in the competition?

"What is the first thing that you remember after waking up in a hospital room?"

And then it hit me. How did she know that i woke up in a hospital room not remembering anything? Is she really a girl i knew before?

"U...um... well... nothing really.. And then my mom told me everything. About how i got involved in a motorcycle crash and stuff." I told her everything i know.

"Interesting... What is the last thing you remember before you woke up in the hospital room?" She asked me as if she is trying to interogate me about my past.

"Hmm.. let me think.... i do remember that i was in my way to meet someone, in a mall." That was literally the only thing i remember before i woke up.

"Is that it?" She asked in a disappointment.

"Ye."

"Say... i heard that if people got an amnesia, they start to dream about their memories. Those kind of things ever happened to you?

To think about it.... I did have some weird dreams. The dreams were about a burning car, but i never think of it more than just another bad dream.

"W...well yeah... You said things about someone who saved me from a burning car right? I once dreamed about a car that was burning, and then when it was about to explode, i woke up. But i never think of it as more than another bad dream." I replied to her.

"THERE. There it is! It's actually not a random dream, it's actually a piece of memory that has gone missing from your memory core." She pointed at my forehead.

"But.... but how? Why would my mom lie to me though?" I was so confused, my feelings were mixed as hell. There's anger, sadness, confusion, and every other feelings that is bad.

"I don't know, maybe you can try asking your mom. Well, it's almost 9 pm, you don't want to get late for school tomorrow, let's just say that our conversation today is something that you would remember for a long time, Tommy." And then she left, leaving me behind with all sorts of confusion.

How did she know that my surname is Tommy? Who the hell is she? What does she know about me?

The next day.

* "WAKE UP! GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT A LITTLE MAKE UP! HIDE THE SCARS AND FADE AWAY THE SHAKE UP! WHY'D YOU LEAVE THE KEYS UNDER THE TABLE? HERE YOU GO CREATE ANOT—" I turned my alarm off.

"HOOAAHHHMMMMMM......" I let out a huge yawn.

"Tommy!! Your breakfast is ready!" My mom called me from downstairs.

"I'll be down there soon!"

Dang, can't believe i am awake this early, it's only 5.45 am, finally i don't have to rush taking a shower and having my breakfast in a flash. Oh, yeah... this is the perfect chance to ask my mom about what Stefi told me yesterday. She better have some good explaining for it.

"Mom...."

"Yes, honey?" She gave a smile while nodding her head to the side. Typical happy go-lucky moms.

"Umm... uh... I want to ask you about something.."

"Hmm? You got a girlfriend? Come on! That must be it!"

"NO. Mom. Listen... i had this dream yesterday... it was about a burning car... a..and when it was about to explode, i woke up... why do you think i dreamed about that?"

"..." My mom's smile turned into a straight face, she was speechless.

"M..mom?"

"Tommy....." Tears started to come out her eyes...

"Uhh....?"

"Tommy! I am so glad that you are still here! Without you i'm just gonna be a lonely mom who doesn't have anyone anymore..." She started crying.

"W...what happened?" I asked her. This might be it.. this might be the explanation i needed.

"So you see.. *sob* about the accident i told you about... It wasn't a motorcycle accident...."

"Was it a car accident?"

"Y...yes... how did you know?"

Knew it.

"L..lucky guess maybe.."

"Well, you see... That day.... August 29th 2013......"

That's my birthday.

"You were heading into a celebration party." She continued, "Me, your girlfriend and your friends were waiting in the restaurant. You and Joey were heading into the restaurant in a taxi, when suddenly..."

I had... friends? And a girlfriend? I must be really popular back then.

"What? Suddenly what??" I asked her.

"Suddenly.... a truck that was in the wrong lane hit the front side of the taxi you were in. The taxi were rolling all over the place, you were unconscious. And then fire started to lit all over the car, luckily Joey managed to pull you out from the burning car. And then you were rushed into the hospital. You got a pretty bad concussion, that made you lose your memory of what happened then. You were in a coma for almost 6 months." She explained all the things while wiping off her face. Finally.. the truth has been spoken.

"What about Joey? Did he suffer some sever injuries?"

"He got some broken bones and a light concussion. But he's okay now, and you're okay too.." She said while hugging me tightly.

"M...mom.. i.. c..can't breath...."

"Oh... sorry... it's just that... i was so devastated when you were in a coma... I always thought that i was a bad mother. A mother who can't even look after his son properly." She replied to me. She looked so devastated as well.

"So.. umm.... you know... just out of curiousity... who was this 'girlfriend' i had?"

"Hmm... let me think.." She replied, back to her happy go-lucky face. "I think her name was..... Stefi Felicia.."

What.
