*Katherine's POV*
My head was throbbing with pain. I woke up to the sound of a car moving. I took note of my surroundings and noticed that I was sitting in a familiar black Audi. The driver had sprawled me in the back seat. I groaned in pain as my head started to throb again. What was happening? And where was I?
"Oh lord, you're awake!" I heard a familiar voice say. Why did he sound familiar?
"Stop the car." I mumbled.
"What?" The boy asked, clearly confused.
I needed him to stop the car immediately. I needed to know what was happening and who this boy was that had thrown me into the back of his car. Oh my god! Was he a kidnapper? Panic rushed through my veins and I began screaming.
"Stop! Stop the car now!!!" I screamed
"Woah, Kat; are you okay?" The familiar looking boy asked worriedly and stopped the car to the side of the isolated road, that was covered with trees on both sides.
Who was 'Kat'? I thought I heard this name before but I just can't remember who it belongs to. I jumped out of the car and screamed; utterly frustrated. What is my name? Who am I?! And who on Earth is this boy?
The boy stepped out of the car too. I took note of his features and inhaled sharply. He was so... gorgeous. His cerulean blue eyes sparked with worriedness and his sqaure jaw bone stood out perfectly. His chisseled face was absolutely handsome. The boy had soft pink lips that were scowling at the moment, as he was examining me. I blushed and stared at my toes.
"D-do I know you?" I mumbled shyly.
I looked up at him and there was no answer. His face was colored in a mixture of emotions. First he was shocked, then worried, then confused and now just silent.
"Look if you are here to kidnap me I swear you won't get anything out of it because I don't have any money right now and you won't ever find my parents because I don't even know who I am myself." I told him truthfully.
"Is this some kind of a joke? Kat you just fainted and I was about to take you to the hospital but you somehow woke up in the middle and started screaming like a baboon! And now you're claiming that I'm a kidnapper and that you don't know who you are." He spat out angrily.
I looked at him as if he had grown two heads. Who was he and why did I faint? And why was he taking me to the hospital?
"Who are you?" I asked, slowly.
"The President, Katherine. The fucking president!" He screamed, frustrated.
"Umm, no. You look a little young to be the president. According to the constituional law you have to be-" I began reasoning with this handsome and charming boy until I got interrupted my him.
"You're not joking, are you..." He said slowly. It was more like a statement rather than a question.
"Nope, I'm pretty sure you're not the president" I weakly smiled.
He came closer to me and stared at me. After 5 minutes of an awkwardly long silence, I expected the boy to tell me who he really was but instead, he just...poked me. He poked me on the cheek, on the shoulder and even in the stomach. I blushed at what he was doing.
"A-are you out of your senses? I'll call the police!" I screamed, backing away.
"Who am I?" He asked me, as if he was trying to figure something out.
This boy was seriously testing my patience. Didn't I just ask him that? How was I supposed to know who he was?!
"I don't know! I mean you claim that you're the president but I seriously doubt that... wait, why are you asking me this? How am I supposed to know?" I shouted, folding my arms, clearly irritated.
"I am Luke, your..your... your...your boyfriend!" He shouted, throwing his arms up in the air in exasperation.
Was he telling me that I was dating this super hot and sexy boy?! Oh good Lord.
"You're lying! I don't even know you! I don't even know me! Besides... you're too hot to date me!" I bellowed, confused. And then I realized what I had just said.
He threw his head back in laughter. What was so funny?
"Did you just call me hot, kitty?" He asked, coming closer to me.
"L-leave me alone. Stay back!" I warned.
He didn't listen and kept on coming closer. Oh god, this stranger was probably a serial killer who kidnapped and brain washed girls.
"I'm not a serial killer who kidnapps and brain washes girls" He said, amused.
"Did I just say that out loud?" I asked, blushing again.
He chuckled but then his face was filled with concern in a split second.
"Katherine, if this is a joke I swear to god I'll deal with you later but right now I need to take you to the hospital and see what is going on with you." He warned and without waiting for my response he picked me up in one gentle swoop and sped towards the hospital.
*Luke's POV* - **2 hours later**-
I was pacing in the aisle of the hospital. Katherine was currently in the hospital room. The doctor kept on asking her questions and she kept on giving him quizzical looks. I wasn't allowed inside the room so I couldn't hear what she was saying to him. After 1 hour of trying the doctor soon gave up and handed her an apple juice and walked out of the room. I sighed in relief. What was he about to tell me?
"Dr. Morrison, any idea about what has happened to her?" I asked, extremely worried.
He looked at me and came closer to that no one could hear what he was about to say. In a very low voice he began whispering with me.
"Before I tell you anything, I would have to know what is your relation with her as you see I can not share such confidential information with anyone apart from her family." He whispered.
"I-I'm her brother." I gulped.
"Luke, your sister is currently suffering from Short Term Delusional Memory Loss (STDML), this means that she has lost her memory but I have gathered that it is only for a short while as she kept telling me everything seems very familiar to her. STDML is basically caused by two reasons. Either she is drinking too much alchohol or... she has received a shock which has led to extreme measures of sadness. I am asumming it is the second reason in her case. She must have seen or heard a shocking news, causing her to faint and lose her memory." Dr. Morrison told me in a very low tone. I was astonished at what he just told me. Memory loss? Would it ever even come back?
"Dr. Morrison, this can not be happening to her! Is there any way she can get her memory back?" I asked, the adrenaline running through my veins like electricity.
"The first think you need to do is inform your parents. I will have to speak to them about this and they need to ask for a one-weak leave from Katherine's principal from school. It is not safe for her to go to school in such conditions, as it will result in more confusion and some one might find this as an oppurtunity to take advantage of her condition. Your parents need to keep informing me about her state. Her memory can come back within an hour, a day, a few days or to the most a week. If her memory still does not come back within a week, then that means that she is suffering from Eternal Delusional Memory Loss (EDML) which means that she will never be able to get her memory again." The doctor spoke, concern filled in his voice.
Within 30 minutes dad and Lauren arrived and a huge scenerio was created. Lauren was crying while dad was talking to Dr. Morrison. They kept on begging the doctor if they could see her and at last we all were allowed inside the room.
As we went inside, Katherine was just sitting on the chair looking at the walls. Her large eyes were filled with fear as she examined all three of us walking in.
"Katherine, honey! How are you feeling now? Is everything okay? What happened?" Lauren asked, sobbing lightly.
"Who are you... all of you?" She asked and Lauren broke into tears once again.
"I mean the boy claims that he is my boyfriend but other than that I don't have another clue about you three" She replied, shrugging her shoulders.
Perfect. She just had to say the worst things at the worst times, didn't she?
