Finding Us

Chapter 19

Catherine's POV:

It was loud, and there were a lot of people I didn't recognize standing around in Alexis's living room. I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people. "Surprise!" They all yelled once they realized I was there. A small smile grew on my face as my cheeks got red.

As soon as I was into alexis's house all the people went back to talking to each other. It was as if I wasn't their but I didn't really mind it. "Hey lex, can I got take a shower I look like crap." I asked softly my voice quiet. "Yeah, I'll get you a towel." She led me through the crowded living room and down a hall.

As she directed me to the bathroom I turned on the water. She came in with a towel handed it to me, and then walked back out of the bathroom closing the door behind her. I dropped my clothes to the ground and put my hand under the water to see if the water temperature was just right.

As I got into the shower pulling the curtain closed behind me the hot water poured down my back. It hurt... but it wasn't really physical pain, more emotional than anything. My legs felt weak, so I slowly sank to the bottom of the shower floor and curled myself up into a ball.

Alexis had spent the entire day trying to jog my memory, but none of it worked. I could tell that when ever we walked past something and I didn't react it made Alexis sad. So I decided to start acting as if I knew what things were to try and keep her from being sad.

All that did for me though was make it worse, like now I'm sitting in the shower bawling my eyes out. I have no memory of who I am, and everything I try to do just brings me more pain. Its like my own personal hell.

The steam coming from the water started to make me choke. It felt as if the amount of available air was decreasing at a rapid rate. My breaths began to be short and small. It was my bodies way of conserving air. I was choking and it was because I was overwhelmed and crying my eyes out in the hot shower. This is probably how I'm going to die, in the shower, crying. Great.

I was interrupted and pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of a voice and a knock on the door. "Catherine are you ok?" His voice was sweet. "Yeah, I'm almost done. Hey Kian can you get lex to bring me some clothes." I yelled over the sound of the water running.

He probably said yes but the water drowned it out. As I washed the conditioner out of my hair, I heard the door open. I reached down and turned the water off. I pulled the curtain back not thinking to see who it was that came in. I had just assumed it was Alexis but sure was I wrong.

At first I was looking at the ground when I opened it. When I looked up I was greeted by a pair of brown eyes that weren't what I was expecting. "Oh my god!" I quickly reached for the towel and wrapped it around my body. He started to laugh.

I threw an empty bottle at him. "Its not funny. Why are you in here." I whined. "Well I was bringing you your clothes, but little did I know I was going to get a show." My jaw dropped to the ground in surprise by his words.

"Not funny." I said laughing which made it even harder to get him to believe. Without even noticing it I had already slipped on the pair of underwear and a bra, with Kian still in the bathroom. "Hey its a little funny." I walked over to him slowly. "No its not." I started laughing so hard, I couldn't even help it.

In all honesty it wasn't even funny and I had no idea why I was laughing. I went to go give him a friendly slap when I slipped and pulled him down with me. He was on top of me now and we were both laughing when all the sound stopped. His lips crashed against mine in a passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

I was only in my bra and underwear... which was pretty awkward but what the hell right. I hadn't noticed the door had been opened and a guy was standing in the doorway. His jaw to the ground and his expression was angry... very angry. The door slammed shut which made Kian get off me and both of us get off the ground.
