"Start the questions" he said to make the start. I took a second to think.

"Why am I here? I mean I have a house. Why don't I live there?" It was pretty clear that I was not living here anymore.

"So I can protect you. And also something... tragic...happened there" he hesitantly said. I tried my best not to panic.

"What happened?" I managed to whisper when I built my needed courage. I kinda knew I was about to be "hit" hard with reality.

"Someone tried to kill you" he said slowly and hesitatnlt like he was scared. Me? Who would've want to kill me? I've been a bitch almost my whole life but not enough for anyone to want me dead.

"But the victim ended up being someone else" he added.

"Who?" I asked rushed. He let a small pause before dropping the bomb.

"Lauren" he said. My mind just stopped working. Like my brain was numb from the shock.

"Lauren is dead?" I barely could hear my own self whispering it. He didn't reply just stared at me full of guilt.

"She tried to protect you. She took the bullet meant for you" he explained. Oddly I didn't feel depressed. Just a huge gap in me. He crawled closer to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulder pulling me in for a hug.

"I cried a lot for her, didn't I?" I asked.

"You have no idea" he sighed and kissed the top of my head. I could feel it. I had no more tears left. I cried real much. But how do I live with it now?

"Who did it?" I said through my teeth. Who could? Everyone loved her.

"Your brother" he said, no emotion in his voice. I instantly pulled myself away to look st him in the eyes.

"What?" I asked. Of course I didn't believe that.

"I know it sounds insane but it's the truth baby" my heart sank.

"Can't be" I shook my head in hope to shake the thought away. I knew he was capable of everything. Just hoped it would never happen. Especially to my best friend.

"Darcy. Listen to me" he said trying to calm me down.

"Lauren and your brother were pretty...tight. You know. Dating. You weren't really positive about it from the start. Later your brother tried to push Lauren into drugs. You already knew he was involved so you kept your distance because of that. You didn't want her to end up like him so you threatened him that if he didn't cut ties with her you would turn him in to the cops. He was too deeply in love with her to do that so his only choice was to get rid of you. Lauren had no idea about the "robbery" Oliver had set up so she took the bullet aimed for you. Then you ran straight to my house panicked. I couldn't let you go back since he was searching to kill you. So I kept you locked in here all this time. One time though you got to town he found you. Grabbed you, forced you in the car and tried to take you home. Then is when you managed to call me somehow and leave the phone open so I could listen. When I understood where you were heading to, I looked for you and found you on your way. I blocked his way so he couldn't leave with you and that's when he crushed the car on the mountain side, on your side of course, trying to kill you again. That's how you ended up in the hospital with amnesia. Only if you had listened to me when I told you not to go out" he finished his story.

The gap in me became as large as my entire body. Like I wasn't me anymore. Out of nowhere everything I ever knew standard in my life was gone. My life was gone. Everything familiar was now strange. I had to start over. I was having a firm inner fight with myself to remember all these but it was pointless.

They say thought that when you have amnesia your memory stops on your happy events. So all of these must be true. I've lost everything. Everything but Jai. But with everything I know so far he is still unfamiliar to me. But he's all I have and I'll gladly accept it. I need him now.
