Darkness. Pitch black. No light, or color in sight. I can hear voices calling out to me, but I cannot make out what they are saying. My whole body feels numb and weak. I cannot stop running. My legs and feet are aching. I cannot catch my breath. I feel like I am dying. Suddenly, I'm gasping for air. I wake up to a lot of people  in the room and they are smothering me. Who are these people?

   "Where am I?" I ask.

        "You are home. In your bed? What do you mean?" she cries.

         "This is not my home or my bed. I said where am I!" I shouted, trying to get everyone's attention. I do not understand what is happening right now. These strangers are starring at me and crying. What is wrong with them?

        "HALLEY ITS ME! BAILEY! I am your twin!"

         "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are. Where's Mitchell? I need to see him! Where is he!" I demanded, trying to get out of bed. My head was pounding and my heart was beating fast. I needed to see Mitchell.

          "You are not my twin, Mitchell is!" I shouted pushing myself through the group of strangers facing me.

       "Halley! Wait!" Mom threw her hands up blocking the doorway.

      "Halley? Is that my name?" I replied. The name sounded really familiar, but I did not know why.

        "Yes your name is Halley. But you have to listen to me. Please! Mitchell is your brother but he is dead. And I am your mother," mom mumbled.

         "No he's not! He's not dead!" I shouted. "Get out! Everyone now! OUT!"

       They are lying, they have to be. Mitchell is not dead, I just talked to him yesterday. I will not believe it. He will come visit me, I know he will. A few moments later, I feel fast asleep. I am wore out from screaming at all those people. My body finally had time to rest.

*Bailey's Point Of View*

Although Halley did not remember anyone but the last memory before she fainted. All she can remember is Mitchell. It breaks my heart and soul to know that she does not recognize her own twin. I mean come on now, we look exactly alike. But mom and dad said I should not push her, and that her memory will come soon. I do not understand how she just, forgot about me. And all she remembers is our older brother, as if he was alive. I hope her memory comes back soon, I need my twin Halley back.

Mom and dad are not too concerned about her memory, as it happens all the time. They said "she only fainted, let her rest and maybe tomorrow she will be back to her old self." It is very hard to believe that all the memories will just come flooding back to her, like they never left. Halley please wake up soon, your not just my twin, your my sister. I quietly went upstairs and barely cracked her door, she was sound asleep in bed. Maybe mom and dad were right, maybe all she needs is rest.

*Aiden's Point Of View*

I cannot understand what Halley and Ethan are going through right now. I just found out my brother has cancer and he only has barely six months left. Halley overheard them talking about it and fainted. But why does she only remember Mitchell? Her older brother. I remember the day he died because my uncle was torn apart. Later that day he called me and told me everything but it was meant for Ethan to hear. Dad was always putting work on Ethan, he never let him have a break. But a few years later they were happy as can be with twins. My father never visited his brother, he only called when he wanted something. The only time I saw my uncle was if my dad asked for some groceries and he just happened to be at the store. My father kept us away from the rest of the family, and now I know why. My father was a jealous piece of nothing. I hope he rots in jail. My father got put in jail, not that I care but it started the list of things happening. First my dad, then my brother, and now my cousin does not remember anyone. Could Halley really have saw Mitchell? But it cannot possibly happen, if he is dead. When she gets her memory back and wakes up, I will make sure to find out everything.

*Halley's Point Of View*

"Mitchell please don't leave me. I need you! No one believes me. They think I'm crazy!"

"Halley, you have to believe me! I'm not real, I'm only what you imagine me to be,"

"But-"

"But nothing! Wake up Halley, your family misses you!"

"I'm not home Mitchell. My family left me! You left me! Mitchel don't go please! You have to help me!"

"Halley you must let go, I will always be in your heart! You must let go! Let go Halley! Let go!"

I jotted awake as fast as I could. I did not even take the blankets off me, I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs where I smelled my favorite dish, spaghetti. Everyone was starring at me, like they saw a ghost. I looked around and it was only me standing their. Finally I glanced in the mirror, trying to figure out what was wrong. As I looked in the mirror, my long dark brown hair fell behind my ears, my hazel green eyes lit up. I had a massive bruise on half of my face. And it was swollen and getting worse by the minute.

"I- I don't feel too good," I mumbled.

"It's okay, it's just a bruise. Bailey and I will take you to the emergency room," mom replied, walking over and running her fingers through my hair.

"Thank you mom!"

Everyone in the house froze. What is wrong with these people?

"You remember me?" Mom asked.

"Of course I do," I said giving her a tight hug, until my head started hurting again.

"OUCH!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry dear. Let's get you to the hospital! Bailey!" She shouted.

"I got the keys mom, meet you in the car! Aiden is coming too!"

"Hey sweetie, I'm going to stay here with your father and Ethan. I will have super ready for you when you get back. I'm cooking-"

"My favorite! I know mom! Thank you! I'll see you in a few hours, hopefully!" I gave mom and dad a hug and walked outside where Bailey and Aiden were sitting in the car waiting for me.

Of course Aiden got out and helped me inside the car. I know it looks bad but, I feel fine. Except for this major headache I have. And my head is pounding.

"I brought you a pillow so you can rest," Aiden handed me a pillow.

"Thank you," I replied, taking the pillow out of his hands and fluffing it up.

"Before you lay down, can I ask you something?" Aiden asked, with a worry look on his face.

"You are scaring me. What is it?" I demanded.

"Well.. you fainted Halley. And all you remembered was" he paused. "Was Mitchell. Do you remember anything about him?" He asked.

"Of course I do. I went to the park to play with him earlier today," I replied. "Why you ask?"

"Well after your fainted and woke up again, you was demanding us to bring Mitchell too you. But we couldn't." He shyly replies.

"I know, because he is in heaven now,"

After the little chat with Aiden, the car was quiet and no one spoke. Aiden turned on the radio and soon I fell asleep, on the way to the hospital.
