"Tell me, father,
Which to ask forgiveness for:
What I am, or what I'm not?
Tell me, mother,
Which should I regret:
What I became, or what i didn't?"~credits to the author~

I was so nervous as i was getting off the plane. Mr. Curtis would be waiting for me. I've known him since i was a baby but still, i was calling him Mr. Curtis. My palms were sweaty as i was thinking about what i am going to tell Alec.I haven't seen him for 7 years and haven't heard from him. Our fathers were always talking and i missed Alec so much, but he was always 'gone' when i asked to talk to him.
I spotted Mr Curtis in the airport and ran to him, hugging him tightly. I gasped at how much he changed
"Mr Curtis! You look marvelous!"
He chuckled a little with his deep voice that warmed my heart. He has always been a handsome man but he aged just like fine wine"It's nice to see you again, Aurora. You're much more beautiful than i remembered" he pecked me on the cheek. We got into his extremely expensive car and he drove us to his house, if you can call it that. It was amazing, it looked exactly like my house back at home. Mr Curtis chuckled again when he saw my expression
"Do you like it?"
"Of course, how could i not?"
"Let's see if Alexander is home" when i heard his name a shiver went down my spine. I took a deep breath and entered. Mr Curtis' phone started ringing. "I'm so sorry Aurora, but i have to go to work. Pick whatever room you want and ask Alexander to help you with your bags"
With that he left me there alone. I went in another room that looked like the living room. It was empty. I heard the crack of the stairs and before i could turn to see who it was, a hand covered my mouth.
"Move and this goes into your heart" he showed me his knife. My heart was beating extremely fast. What was happening? Who is it? Before i could think anything else, the back of the knife made contact with my head and everything went black.

My head felt heavy and it hurt as hell. I slowly opened my eyes and i saw that i was in a dark dirty room that looked like a basement. I tried to move but i was tied to a chair and i had tape on my mouth. I was scared and i wanted to cry. Where the hell was i? The only door in the room opened and a handsome guy walked in. He looked oddly familiar, but it was very dark. He came close to me and i saw his eyes.
I could never forget those eyes, those blue orbs that i grew up looking into. I was relieved when i realized it was Alec. My eyes widened when he got out a knife, the same knife i was threatened with earlier.
"Are you scared?" He asked looking in my eyes. "You should be." He shook his head "entering in my house like that, you should already be dead" dead?? "But you're pretty" he took a deep breath "it would be a waste" he was playing with the knife now. What was happening? What entering in his house? I was supposed to live there! He didn't know who i was? That thought made my heart sink... "I'm going to ask this just once: who do you work for?" Work for? I'm not working for anyone. He put his hand close to my face and took the tape off quickly. 'shit that hurt' i wanted to scream at him.
"It really hurts that you didn't recognize me. Have i changed so much?" I said sincerely my voice trembling a little and my eyes watering
"Shut the fuck up and answer the question" he said his face hard as stone
"I'm not working for anyone. I-" i was cut off by him
"Don't fucking lie to me!" He screamed in my face. I wanted to cry again but i held my tears.
"I'm not lying" i said more like a whisper. "You really don't know who am i?" My heart really hurt right now
"No, and i don't care either" he spat. I sighed. How could he not remember me? We grew up together! He was my best friend, the closest thing i had to a brother. And now...he doesn't remember me. I looked down at my hands then looked back up in his piercing blue eyes
"I'm really disappointed, Alec" he flinched a little when i spoke the nickname i used to call him when we were little and a muscle in his perfect jaw flexed. I remember i was the only one that was 'allowed' to call him that. His eyes were darker and i swear i would be dead if looks could kill. He bent down so he was face to face with me
"Nobody calls me Alec" he said through gritted teeth.
"You didn't seem to mind when we were little" i looked in his eyes a single tear leaving mine. A lot of sentiments passed over his face realization, anger, sadness and then nothing. Everything was blank. He didn't say anything. He leaned in and untied my hands and left.
I followed him and realized we were in the basement of his house. He went out through the front door and i was left there confused and scared.
