"Go away! Don't touch me!" I scream at the guy in front of me.

"Leah, calm down... I-"

"How do you know my name?! Jacob! I want Jacob!"

He looks visibly hurt, the white surrounding me is marred by his blue jeans, denim jacket, and red v-line tee. The color confuses me.

"Why don't you leave me alone? Go write a song or something! Do you like hanging out with crazy girls?!" I peek out at him from my corner.

"You know what I do?" He looks at me with wonder and again I imagine he blinks back tears.

"Of course, and your name. Mr. Hayes, can I see my fiancé now? I want to check out of this place."

Again he refrains from saying something.

"How long have I been in here? What happened?" Since he won't leave I might as well get as much information as I can. Oh gosh I hate this place. I must have really spazzed out too, they put me in complete isolation, no hair ties for my hair because they don't want me to hurt myself and no jewelry.

Hunter shoots me a deciding look and I just want him to tell me already.

"I didn't try to kill myself did I?" No, it can't be that bad! My hands shake, I wish I never would have said it. My breaths grow ragged.

"Leah? Shh, it's okay." He moves forward.

"No, stay away from me." I retreat farther into my corner.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do!" His voice is soft but far from calm. He rings his hands and his face turns red.

"Can you please just tell me what happened?" I whisper, trying to keep my nerves under control.

"What is today's date?"

"What?"

"Do you know what date it is?" Hunter's tone is even and I realize I have no idea. I shake my head. "August 18th."

"Okay...."

"2017."

"What?" I look down at my hand, no discoloration, I don't think I've worn a wedding ring recently. But Jacob and I were getting married. What happened? "Where's Jacob? Did he die? Where is he?!" I raise my voice and the shaking gets worse.

"Leah, Leah!" Hunter reaches out and holds onto my shoulders. "Calm down, I'm going to explain best I can but one thing at a time. Okay?"

I nod and he stares into my eyes, there is something there that I just can't quite place and I feel my stomach drop.

"Jacob is alive and honestly I don't know where he is. You broke up with him."

"No, I couldn't I-"

"Are we going to have this discussion or are you going to trust me?"

"I don't trust you."

He pulls back, clearly hurt. "All that time. I'm so stupid... How could I have just let you slip away?" He pinches the bridge of his nose and walks over to the one straight back chair in the room, collapsing into it. "I would give up music if I could get you back." He mumbles and I stare shocked.

"Please, I'm so confused. Nothing is adding up. I don't know what to do." I start to cry, my brain is trying so hard to make sense of everything but it's like I jumped over 4 years of my life. I slide down the wall and hug my knees to my chest. Who am I? How did I get here? What is Hunter talking about?
