Remembering Us

Miles a Minute

Note: The beginning of this story will be a little rushed. I want her back at school as soon as possible but I realize 5 months is a long time. So this chapter is set a week after the first chapter.

I have not this house for a week and I'm OK with that but along with this place there are so memories that are just making my head spin. Some things have come back to me, like little memories of my dad making chocolate chip pancakes every Sunday morning after church, or the time myself and another little girl I did not recognize were in little one piece swimsuits in the front yard spraying each other with the hose and jumping through the sprinklers that were meant for the lawn. The little girl had caramel colored hair that went have way down her back and a sweet smile. Her brown eyes would go wide when the cold water hit and we'd both laugh.

I want to know who she is more than anything.

"Can I see her!" An enthusiastic voice says from the other room where my mom has just answered the door. I look over at my dad questioning him and he just shrugs at me. I start to get up from the couch but then I hear my mom say, "Jazz she's not going to remember you."

I take a step into the room so I can see the girl in the door way. She has dirty blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail and huge deep brown eyes. She was really pretty but before I could say anything she runs over and almost knocks us both over as she hugs me.
"Blake I missed you so much! Oh god when are you coming back to school? What is being in a coma like? Wait sorry don't answer that last one. Wait has Carson seen you yet?" She pulls away and stares at me and I'm over whelmed by what she has just all said.
"She will be back at school this Monday Jazz." My dad says coming into the room. I shoot him a look. I guess I knew it was coming but I hadn't really thought about going back to school yet.

I look back at Jazz and she seems so familiar but again nothing. You know her, she goes to school with you.

"I'm Jasmine Harrison." She says quietly to me. "I guess when I heard you lost your memory I was hoping when you saw things they would come back to you. Worth a shot right?" My mom smiles and her.

Carson, she mentioned a guy named Carson.
"Who's Carson?" I say and she looks at me with pure joy.

"You speak!" She laughs then realizes that was a serious question but before she could answer her phone starts blasting away in her pocket. She takes it out, "Shoot its my aunt I was supposed to help her at her store today. I'll see you Monday Blake!" She races out of the front door and pulls away in her beat up little blue car.

"She's always been so lively." My mom laughs to herself. "You guys really balanced each other out, you being so calm and her going miles a minute."

"Your making me go back to school." I say not really as a question but more like a confirming statement.

"Your starting 2nd semester." My dad says, "You'll be fine."

"Yeah a place full of people who I don't know, sounds great."

"This will be good for you. Who knows maybe this will bring back some memories!"

I shake my head but agree, "Mom, who's Carson?"

"I think you'll fine out on Monday." She says and walks back into the kitchen. I look at my dad and all he does is shrug. Is that your answer for everything dad?

Guess I'll find out on Monday.
