Amnesia

Chapter Twenty One - 'do you remember me asking for your opinion? Me neither'

Nobody spoke about it, I could see it in their eyes though, yearning to know more. They respected my wishes, defining our friendships, which meant much more than details.

I blocked Nat, deciding to leave this all behind me. Then causally returned my phone to my pocket at ease.

Everything was fine.

I cannot stress enough how much it meant to me that all this was left behind. The past is not something to return to, you can however reflect on it if wanted. I did not want to reflect on this memory.

We left the cafeteria as a big group and fell into our normal spot. I've spent fifty penny for my school life in learning and the other half socializing (in lessons and here). I took a seat and lost myself inside a daydream. An absence.

"Vienna?!" Lily snapped her fingers in front of my eyes.
She was dangerously close to me. My eyes focused to see her light Safire hair swaying with the breeze.

"Come with me," she ushered me away from the group.
Honestly, I was growing tired of these one to one conversations that occur.

We were in the same place that everyone held their private conversations, behind the same building, every single time. It brought back memories and the events flashed before my eyes.

'wandered around the buildings. I finally turned a corner and saw Chase turned away from me. Danielle noticed me out of the corner of her eye.
Rapidly she grabbed his t-shirt and pulled him in close to her, then began kissing him'

I shook my head and began to pay attention again. I realized that I had been awkwardly ignoring her the whole time and she was standing in front of me, displaying an unimpressed expression.

"Sorry," I apologized, filling the silence.
"You need to go to the police Vienna, I'm not ignoring what's happened to you." She showed a serious tone.

I knew strait away she wasn't kidding, Lilly is constantly laughing and joking, always a smile on her face. Her smile had faded and faced me with the seriousness of Nat. The contrast of Lily's expressions made me a little afraid of her, honestly. I didn't want to go against her, but I have decided that this whole blackmail thing is over with. It simply needs to be ignored.

"No." I replied, my serious face about to crack.
I began to look up so my eyes met with hers, just so she understood how serious I was.

She shook her head. "No Vienna, you need to-"
I cut her off, "do you remember me asking for your opinion? Me neither."

I walked away evaluating what I had just said. Not only had I said what I had said, but I had spoken in the most closed-off, mean spirited voice I had ever used. I know Nat was trying to split me and my friends apart, but had I just done that without Nat being involved?
