I went back home weeks ago to live there...again. Yes, I asked my cousin the reason why i'm back here. And she just said, "What academy? Hey! Are you somehow kidding me?" She doesn't believe in me. But how? How can she forget everything that happened?

"N-no i'm not. I'm sorry for asking. Can I spend time here alone first?" I requested her. She nodded and walked towards the door. She stopped for a while but continued walking after. How can she forget?

First, I don't remember what happened. Second, my cousin doesn't remember. And third? I still don't know why my back has this some sort of pain! It hurts like...hell! I don't know what to do but to sleep.

I lied down and then closed my eyes like forcing myself to sleep. I felt some tingling sensation through my mind until something popped up in my mind...

"I'm sorry, Amerie. I really have to do this." It was like a man's voice was whispering in my head but it still turns out to be invisible. I don't know who this man is or who he is in my life, but all I know is that...he's familiar.

Yes he's familiar but I still can't get on the top of it.

I woke up quite teary eyed. But there was no sign of why I cried and why I was crying just a while ago. It was strange after all but I just pondered about it. But all I thought about is the man's voice in my head.

"Amerie! It's time to eat!" My cousin shouted so loud that it echoed through the windows. I went down still wearing my poker face on. I am just quite worried about her because she doesn't remember anything.

I saw her seated on the seat beside my seat. She was smiling but the smile faded when she saw me teary eyed. I haven't wiped away my tears because it might help me to restore the blank space in my mind.

"Is something wrong, Amerie?" She asked. I shook my head in disapproval but she just sighed. I asked her why but she just gave me a wide smile. It made me feel better but I was still pondering about that man.

In the end, we just ate silently until there was no more food left on the table. I was about to go to my room when I heard someone shout downstairs.

I quickly ran downstairs because I was worried that it might be my cousin. But instead, I just saw my cousin at the end of the stairways smiling while sweating horribly. Her sweat was dripping all over.

"I-Is there something wrong?" I asked her. She just shook her head but then she stepped backward like she was about to fall. I was about to run towards her but then she just looked at me and smiled.

She asked me to go upstairs and I just nodded. I ran upwards until I reached my bedroom. I heard a loud crash of the door downstairs that I jumped in fear.

I went to my desk and took my notebook out of the drawer and then grabbed a pen from the pencil holders.

I opened the notebook and took the pen then opened it.

Dear diary,

          Should I still write this? I know this won't help me but, this might help me remember which I forgot. I don't know who or what I forgot but I know this person or that thing is important and familiar.

          I should ask my cousin about it but I can't do it because she seems to be clueless of what happened and what was happening...

I just stopped there when I heard someone talk downstairs.

"What do you mean I should pretend longer?!"

"Look, you just have to pretend that you don't remember anything because, when we knew she was back here, we was flustered to know that it was...Matt."

"M-Matt? N-no. It couldn't be"

"Yes. We just saw Matt running down the hallways when the guards went running towards him. I mean, he shouldn't have ran if he doesn't have anything to do with it right?"

"You mean he is the one? How could he do this? His father is a king for Pete's sake!"

"It's hard to believe but you need to. He already surrendered and he's just going to recieve punishments. Besides, you said Amerie doesn't remember right?"

"Yes but, why can't you think of her feelings?! He's her boyfriend! She needs to know this."

I heard some loud footsteps  going up here. I hurriedly went to my bed trying not to make a single sound. I went to my bed and wore the blanket.

"Ameri---" she didn't finish her sentence when I think she realized I was asleep. Although I wasn't. I heard her sigh heavily that I managed to hear a sob from her. And it mademe feel bad about it.

Moments later after she went out of my room, tears were shed. I was sobbing like I knew what they were talking about. And who the hell is Matt?! And how is he my boyfriend?!

I don't know but I felt guilty of hearing those things from them. Although I didn't know why but, I still felt guilty inside.

I'm out of tears but I was still crying. It hurts but I have a feeling I have to cry. I heard someone knock by the window so I quickly got rid of my tears. I looked at the window and saw a man looking through it.

He moved his lips like saying, 'Open the window!'. So I I did open the window. I mean, if he was a thief or something he wouldn't bother to knock. He went inside through the window. The window was quite big and long so it was a right fit for him.

When he was inside, I locked the door and told him not to make a sound. He nodded and just stared at me. After I locked the door, I looked at him who was smiling.

"Uhm, mister? Who are you?" I asked politely. I couldn't tell if he was old or young because he was wearing a black hoodie with a "97" in front.

"I-I'm Matthew." My head hurt for a while but then faded. I heard him sigh but I didn't mind it.

"Perhaps, can I call you Matt? Matthew seems too long. Is it alright?" I asked him. He sighed again and then took his hood of. I saw his handsome face matched with his hazelnut brown hair. He has this beautiful eyes that might catch millions of girls' hearts.

"Y-yes. I do think it's long. Well I came here to tell you something important..." i was flustered when he hugged me tightly...wait, isn't this...deja vu?

"Whatever happens, please forget those memories."
