Me, Myself And I

Through the week

Scarlett's POV

Monday

Its been a week since the get together we had at Anthony's house and its been a week since I've seen my friends. I had a doctor's appointment earlier today. My condition still remains the same, I'm as healthy as can be. Problem is, I've got a 4 year missing link in my memory.

Right now, I was in my mother's car. She was driving me home, then going back to work. It was inconvenient for her since I had to get my license again to be able to drive my bike. My birthday is next week and I decided I'd take my driver's ed after that. "I'll see you when I get back from work," my mom told me as she stopped the car in front of the house. "Okay, bye. Oh, and I'll also cook some dinner today," I informed her. She smiled at me and nodded. I got out of the car and walked towards the house. I got in and lazily threw myself on the couch in the living room. It's past 1 in the afternoon so I still had time to just rest before preparing dinner.

I decided to watch the real. It was a nice talk show I discovered 2 days ago. I decided that maybe I needed to put in some effort on filling in the 4 year gap in my memory. When it was around 4:38pm, I decided to start preparing dinner. I would make steaks and mash potatoes with asparagus in garlic butter. Its a dish that I saw when I was watching the food network. It immediately spiked my interests and so here we are. As I prepared dinner I couldn't help but think of my friends, if I can even call them that. The reason behind me not contacting them in the past week was because I needed alone time. I needed time to sort out my thoughts, even after a week of some alone time, they're still all tangled up. Jennifer called me 4 days ago to hang out, but I kindly declined. She understood my reasoning, she was just sad because she missed me. I would too if my best friend had a two year coma.

I drained the potatoes and mashed them. I added some seasoning, butter and milk. I mashed them again until they were fluffy and creamy. I seasoned the steaks in salt and pepper, then spiced them up in Rosemary, thyme, coriander and other fragrant spices. I fried the flavoured steaks until they were medium rare, excluding mine, I prefer my steak well done. After those two dishes done, I moved to the asparagus. I chopped off the inedible parts. I melted a good measuring of butter in a pan and fried 2 cloves of minced garlic. After they softened a bit I added the asparagus and sautéed it until they were perfect. As I began to plate the food, my parents walked through the door. "Did we hire a chef, Lizzy?" My dad asked my mom. "I think I birthed a chef Ben," my mom snickered. "Evening parents, you arrived just in time. Dinner is ready and will be served," I told them in a English accent. "Yes mam," my dad chuckled as my mom giggled and went upstairs.

After a few minutes my parents descended and headed to the dining room. I came out with their plates and handed them their dinner individually. I placed my plate at my seat and went to fetch some red wine and glasses. I poured the Merlot for my parents as I poured some grape flavoured soda for myself. I got seated and stared at my parents with a huge grin. "Well honey, this looks delicious. What's the occasion?" My mother asked. "If loving my parents is an occasion, then so be it," I replied in a giddy manner. "Well, thanks sweets, this looks amazing," my dad chuckled. "Let's eat already, I'm starving," I snickered at them. They both laughed at my eagerness and we ate. After dinner I did the dishes and showered. I wore my purple pajamas and bid my parents good night.

As I laid in bed, I couldn't help but think of Jen. I sorta envied her, well at this stage, I envied anyone who was the same age as me and in college. My dad told me that I could write my finals after the holidays. He arranged this at the highschool here in Phoenix. I forgot the name of it, Phoenix high, I think. It was the highschool I attended before the incident. I agreed and got excited. If I passed, I would be a senior. I decided to go to highschool rather than online schooling. Reason 1 was because I didn't want to be couped up in this house all year round. Reason 2, I might gain a memory or 2 if I'm in a familiar place. And reason 3, I wanted to make a friend maybe. Since Jen will be in New York, in varsity. After thinking of all these things I found myself drowning in sleep.
