Hey Everybody,

This is my first time trying to write a story. Please comment and tell me what you think!

Prologue

Most people remember their childhoods. Most people recognize their parents, their friends and their boyfriend. Apparently though I must have lead a really bad life. I must have been a mass murderer or something. Because somebody decided that I shouldn't be able to remember anything except my name and birthday. This somebody, decided to kill me.

Chapter 1

"Lara, Lara? Shh, she's opening her eyes! Call a doctor!"

I heard voices, they seemed familiar but I couldn't place them. Why were they calling a doctor? I finally opened my eyes much to my head's protest but instantly shut them when the brightness of the room proved to be too much to bear.

"Lara, sweetheart, how are you feeling?"

Sweetheart? Why was this person calling me sweetheart?

"The lights," I managed to croak but my throat was dry and burned as soon as i used my voice.

"Dim the lights! She can't see with them!" the woman sounded panicked, why was she panicking? The lights were dimmed and i managed to open my eyes only to find that my image was blurred.

"Why can't I see properly?" I started to panic, why can't I see, where am I?

"Here you go darling." A woman whose voice came from somewhere on my right placed something on my face and my vision instantly cleared. I brought my hands up to my face to find glasses over my eyes. Since when have I needed glasses? I looked around and on my right I saw a middle-aged couple. They looked tired and worn with black circles under their eyes and worry lines on their foreheads but their eyes showed some relief. Why would that be? And who are they? I looked around the rest of the room and found it to be completely white. I heard a beeping to my left and looked at the source. It was one of those heart monitor things. Why am I in a hospital room? And why am I in a bed with a needle sticking out of my arm?

A second later the door swung open causing me to snap my head in that direction causing the dull thudding in my head to increase to a sharp pain which was shared with an ache in my neck, wonderful. I looked to see who had entered the room to see a guy fit to be a god standing there and looking at me with relief evident in his eyes. His blond hair resembled that of the middle aged man but his soft, curls implied that he was somehow related to the woman, his amazing hazel eyes were a trait shared with the couple as well as the boy. He looked a bit older than me one or two years, I wonder if he's single...

"Good Michael, you've brought the doctor."

What? Oh, there was a doctor next to the heart monitor thing... I didn't realise he came in because of the god...

"Lara Summers?" Bleh, i hate my last name... (A/N No offence to anyone with said surname)

"Yes?" My voice was still croaky making me sound like a frog, and in front of the god named Michael too...

The doctor handed me a glass of water. And when I finished drinking it he started to speak again.

"I'm Dr. Blake. Now, can you tell me what exactly happened?" He must have seen my confused expression because he continued. "Do you know who these people are?" He said this in reference to the couple and the god.

"Well, I'm guessing his name is Michael seeing as that is what they called him but no..." The pain and sadness in the eyes of the couple and Michael were causing me pain so I asked, "Who are they?"

The woman put a hand on my right one and said, "Baby, I'm your mother, Karen, this is your father, George, and Michael is your brother."

The last thing I thought before passing out was, I was perving on my brother...

I woke up with Karen looking worried and with tears in her eyes. "Karen?" At least my voice didn't make me sound like a frog anymore.

"Lara, I would like to explain some things to you but only after you answer some questions for me, ok?"

I nodded while saying, "But what just happened?"

Dr. Blake replied with another question, "What do you remember?"

"Well, my throat was really scratchy when I woke up in this room and my head hurt when I moved to see who came in but only after seeing George and Karen. I saw Michael and you come in and then you asked me if I knew who they were and I said no and then Karen said that she and George are my parents and Michael is my brother but that's impossible because if they were then I would remember right? This has to be a prank by one of my friends... Wait, why can't I remember if I have friends?" Ok, now I'm freaking out, why can't I remember anything? The stupid beeping went faster and Dr. Blake told me to calm down, I'm pretty sure I looked like a deer looking at headlights...

"Lara, do you remember how old you are?"

I nodded, "Yeah I'm 17 and my birthday is on the 8th of March. What month is it?"

"Do remember anything else?"

I thought really hard about that but the only things in my head are the names of the people around me, my name, and my birthday. I shook my head and a look of disappointment came over the doctor's face before he made it neutral again. "It appears that she has long term amnesia and can't remember anything prior to the accident-"

"It wasn't an accident." Michael mumbled at the same time as I asked, "What accident?"

The doctor turned to me and began explaing, "You were walking home from grocery shopping when a speeding car hit you whilst you were crossig the road. You have been here since then in an induced coma so that the swelling in your brain recedes. You have been here for a week. You had a concussion, three broken ribs and your tibia was fractured as well as your femur. You also dislocated your left shoulder but that should be fine now and it also appears that you have long-term amnesia."

I tried to process the new information but nother question came to mind, "Why did Michael say it wasn't an accident?"

"It was a hit and run. It also took place in a side street, it wasn't a mainroad which adds to your brother's belief of it not being accidental."

"Why would somebody want to do that to me, am I a bad person?" I honestly had no idea of my personality and what I may have done to deserve this and from the silence that settled over the room, nobody else did either.
