Infinite

Chapter 1

"Jack! Have you seen the remote anywhere?" Charlotte shouted up the stairs to her flatmate, jack. "Have you checked the fridge?" He replied. "Why would it be in there?" Charlotte questioned this bizarre answer. "Let's not forget the mouse incident." Charlotte began to think back to the strange day of March 11th 2012. Her and jack had been out drinking with some friends, they came home and sobered up for a few hours. In the morning Charlotte insisted she wasn't tired and that she could sort any mess out. Obviously she was lying because when she went to make a sandwich she put the computer mouse in the fridge.

"We promised never to speak of that again jack. We made a pact." They took their promises very seriously between them. "Yeah yeah ok. moving on" jack practically ran down the stairs, it must be time for secrets and revenge again. Every day at 1PM, DAE would show an episode of the tv show 'secrets and revenge' it follows the story of a girl who arrives in a fictional town, people think she is just a new girl who makes no impact on their town. But she specifically came here because her lover was killed in a fire set by his ex fiancée and her family because he knew too many secrets. now she's trying to get all of them back and find their secrets. and take them down.

So while jack was on the couch gasping at every sentence, Charlotte went upstairs to check her Fanfic. This was mainly their life. Tv, Fanfic, fictional characters and music. it seemed strange to others, but to them it was perfect. apart from the emotional trauma of course.

Suddenly the room started turning blurry, she felt dizzy, her head hurt, a lot. and then.

Darkness.

Soon after, light began to appear again, she could hear jack laughing. "Char did you see that! Ana just slapped Sarah oh my god"

"Jack?" She asked unsure. "yeah? what don't you find it funny?" Jack was obviously puzzled by it. "jack, how long have I been here?" Charlotte looked around frantically. "whoa char calm down, umm, you came downstairs about half an hour ago, we talked about how we ship alex and Ana lots and now we're talking about that amazing slap between Ana and Sarah.. why?"

Charlotte decided she probably just had bad memory today. "no.. it's fine, I was just wondering that's all" he shrugged it off and she went back into her room.

"This is so weird. first that strange blur thing happens and now I don't remember half an hour?" After much debating she decided it was nothing and that she'll feel better tomorrow.

Well she was wrong. The next day was even worse. she missed an hour this time. It was starting to worry her but she wasn't going to see the doctor. she has bad memories there. If it happened again, she would tell jack about the blackouts, but until then it would remain silent.

She likes to deal with her own problems and not have others do it for her. It's the way she works. she just hopes she doesn't have a blackout longer than a day.

The next day she felt fine, no blackouts, the same after that, weeks went by and she had no blackouts at all. she felt like she had won. As time passed, she returned to her normal life. things were finally back to normal.

2 months later, Charlotte woke up feeling sick. she was dizzy and her head was pounding. she recognised this feeling. she knew what was coming. "No! Not now! Please, why can't I just live normally! please not now. No." And then.

Nothing.

The next time she felt like 'her' was the next day when she discovered herself to be at a party, presumably at a friends. jack was beside her, chatting to her while she had no idea what the topic was.

"jack. I need to talk to you, it's really important and I can't do it here please can we go home I promise I'll exponentially everything but we need to go NOW." She looked up to see a confused and worried jack. "Ok...?" They drove home in silence as Charlotte nearly crashed into a wall twice.

They got in and sat down.

"Char.. what's going on? I'm worried about you."

She took a deep breath, knowing her next words could hurt her "jack... a few months ago I experienced blackouts. I got headaches, dizziness and then. nothing. I miss parts of the day, I mean, if the date is correct today then I've missed an ENTIRE day this time! They stopped for a few weeks but yesterday morning... Yesterday morning I had another. the last thing I remember was waking up. next thing I know I'm missing an entire day and I'm at a party. I'm scared jack! I don't know what's going on and I'm scared! I didn't want to worry you but now I'm lost jack. I'm lost. and before you ask, I'm not going to the doctor. there are too many bad memories."

She looked over at jack to see him with his head in his hands. She expected him to start freaking out, asking why he wasn't told, if she could trust him? but instead he stood up, he walked over and he pulled her into an embrace.

" I'm not mad that you hid this from me. I wish you would've told me, but I'm not mad. we're going to get through this ok. I am by your side, where your best friend should always be. I am here for now and forever... we just have to make sure you don't do anything you'll regret." He smirked at her as they laughed.

"For infinity?" She muffled into his shirt

"And beyond" he replied.
