Chapter 40

Aria~

I leave him alone next to the door as I walk upstairs while trying the way back to my room. I check the first floor but nothing looks familiar. As I reach the second one, I run into the guard that I met earlier.

"Aria" he calls my name

"It's Stuart isn't it ?" I ask him

"You remember? " he asks me surprised.

"I can remember a few things" I say

"Glad to hear that. Do you need help ?" he asks me

"I am trying to find the way back to my room " I say and he chuckles.

"Don't laugh " I scold him

"I am sorry but this is so different " he tells me

"What is different? " I ask him

"Everything! Even you are" he says and I shrug

"Only if I could remember the old me" I laugh

"You will remember everything soon" he tells me

"Can you help me get back to my room please ? " I ask him

"Sure " he nods and shows me the way.

"I knew that something would happen to you that day. You were too stubborn to listen to me though " he says

"Next time that you have a feeling that something is going to happen, lock me somewhere that I won't be able to get away " I say ne he laughs

"There's nothing holding you back Aria" he tells me

"You never know " I say

"At least we haven't figured that out yet " he tells me

" Here is your room " he stops in front of a door.

"Thank you " I say and he smiles.

I open my door and turn around to look at him before I step inside.

"Oh and by the way you have earned the title of the biggest snitch in the whole universe " I tell him and before he can say anything I close my door and giggle lightly. I bet his face was priceless.

The door opens behind me and I see Stuart.

"You can remember " he says

"Not everything. But I can remember more things now " I explain

"Can you remember why you fell ?" He asks me

"No, I can remember almost everything after that but not how or why I fell " I tell him

"It's okay " he says as I sit down on the couch.

"I haven't been here in a very long time " I say

"What have you been up to ?" I ask him

"Nothing special. You better start remembering things because my life is so empty without you" he jokes and I just shake my head.

"What if I leave ? What are you going to do all alone ?" I ask him

"I don't want to think about it " he says and I laugh.

"Things are complicated though " he says

"What do you mean ?" I ask him

"Not my story to tell " he shrugs

"Thanks for telling me " I roll my eyes.

"No problem Foxy " he says
