Going Down Memory Lane

Chapter 1

Its been days since it happened, and I've met more judges then you can imagine. I still don't remember how this all happened. I still can't remember who I am.

So let me tell you what I know. My name is Daniel Blake, I'm 19 and I'm on trial for a murder. A murder of a girl I don't even know.  But I don't know anyone anymore since I lost my memory. My family seems to have vanished; well if I even had a family. What's even worse is I have no proof that I didn't murder her. None at all. I was found at the crime scene and I had blood all over me. Her blood. They don't even care that I can't remember anything; they say it will come back. Eventually. But right now I'm starting to loose hope of ever getting out of this jail cell. I'm losing hope of remembering my life. Losing hope of remembering who I am.

Today is just another day in court and if I'm being completely honest I can't wait tell they finally find me guilty and get it over with. But in the back of my head there's still a voice that's telling me to continue fighting, telling me that I don't deserve this. I hope the voice is right.

"Daniel Blake."I look up and see one of the many police officers that escorts me to and from court.

I sigh and say, "Yes? "

The officer stares at me and shakes his head, he looks sad, "Come on. It's time for you to go to court."

I stand up and walk to the cell door and place my hands close together so the officer can put the cuffs on my wrists.

"You're such a nice young man and I still can't believe that you're being blamed for murder," the officer sighs and I finally recognize him as Officer Rosen. He's normally the officer that gets me and he has always been nice to me, so I've been nice to him.

I smile at him, "Thank you Officer Rosen. I wish I could remember what really happened, I hope I can find the truth." I hope I find out I really am a nice person. I hope I find myself out of law enforcement for the rest of my life.

He gives me a small sad smile and we leave the jail cell.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I arrive at the court with Officer Rosen like normal, but this time there someone new here, a young woman that's my age.

She's beautiful. She has long curly golden brown hair with green eyes. She's a small figure and at the moment her expression is very serious. But she seems oddly fimiliar. She seems fimiliar. She's the first person that has ever been fimiliar to me.

Looking at Officer Rosen I see that he's just as confused to see her here.

Everyone at my trials have been the same people eager to send me away for the rest of my life. Nobody new ever came, not until today that is.

When she notices me she smiles and comes over. "Hello Daniel, I'm Addison Miller and I'm here to help you prove that you are innocent." She greets me so professionally it seems odd from here.

Pushing that thought away, I look at her dumbfounded. How can she possibly help me? "I don't think I can be saved. Unless I can magically get my memories back," I said in monotone.

Addison seems to have ignored my comment and turns to Officer Rosen. "Can you please take the cuffs off?" She asks.

"Sorry Ms. Miller but the cuffs have to stay on," Officer Rosen said as he sadly looks at the cuffs that are killing my wrists.

"You don't understand I paid for his bail."

My eyes widen and I gasp at her, "Why did you do that?"

"Because your innocent and I'm going to need you out of that cell so you can help me prove it."

For the first time since I lost my memories I smile and I'm actually happy. "Where am I going to be staying?"

"My house," she said and waves her hand telling Officer Rosen and I to follow after her.

I sit down and the trial finally begins.

"We are here today to decide how long we are going to give Ms. Addison Miller to try and prove Mr. Daniel Blake's innocence," a evil judge said, well that is how I would describe her. Her eyes are such a dark brown they look black, she's always scowling and everytime she says my name she looks like she ate something distasteful.

Some of the crowd boo at the idea of me going on bail. Well you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You have no proof I murdered that girl other then finding me at the crime scene with her blood on me. I shiver remembering that I had somebodys blood on me. But at the same time I don't look anything close to innocent.

Addison walks up to the judge and she has a very determined look on her face. Why is she so determined to save me? What prove does she have?

She hands the judge a folder and the judge opens it. After looking at the folder the judges face goes pale.

She seems to think over whatever is in the folder and says, "Ms. Addison Miller you have a month to prove his innocence. Use it well." She looks at me and says, "Mr. Daniel Blake is free to go for now."

Officer Rosen smiles at me and uncuffs my wrists. I rub my sore wrists and smile back. Then he says, "I hope I don't see you back in cuffs."

"I hope so to." I really hope so.

Addison walks up to me grinning ear to ear. "Ready to go?" She asks me practically glowing.

I blink at her a little shocked with her reaction then I shake it off and nod. "Thank you so much Ms. Miller." My dear readers don't look at me like that. She is saving me and I'm not risking pissing her off.

She smiles and  I see love in her eyes.  I get taken off guard but shake it off once again. I was imagining that, right? "I just hope that I can keep you from life in prison and please call me Addison."

"Why are you doing this for me? "

"I don't like seeing innocent people being locked up," she tells me. Her smile vanishes and she adds, "I knew someone I was close to that got locked up for a crime they didn't do. Now I'm trying my best to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else." I look up at her green eyes and they seem darker and sad.

As I am looking at her and she still seems fimiliar, but I don't say anything about it. "Thank you."

She smiles and says, "Well Daniel come on before I change my mind." Is she teasing me? Wow she is.

I follow after her and smiling, I probally look like a creepy person with my huge smile. But I don't really care I'm happy that's what matters.
