Amnesia (Overload Book 1)

12

I lounge at the table like I previously did about 8 hours ago with my slippers, dressing gown as I hold a cup of coffee in my left hand and IPhone in my right, just going through instagram and tumblr. I'm not gonna lie, I'm slightly addicted to tumblr.

As I shuffle along the creaky kitchen floorboards, I hear my mum coming down the stairs.

"Heyy mum", I greet when she comes into view, her hair clearly showing that she's half asleep.

"Heyy Ali, how are you feeling?", She questions making me roll my eyes for the millionth time this week, which I gotta admit is slightly tedious now.

"I'm okay" say as my phone beeps telling me I have a message. I place my phone and cup of coffee on the table and I turn to mum who shakes her head disappointingly at me.

"Aren't you going to check your message?" Mum queries, her eyebrows burrowing get her which means 'check it now' so I open up my text messaging app.

From Andy:

Jordi' s coming back to London today so we are planning a day out? Us boys, you, Hollie, Clover and Kayla? Andy xxx

to Andy:

oh my gosh is he? What we doing? Als Xx

From Andy:

He is, it's a surprise and be at London Underground at 10. Andy xx

My mum looks at me questionably, as she speaks up, "Who is it?"

"Andy. He wants me to meet him at London Underground" I briefly explain.

"Whys that?" Mum questions. 'Is it 21 questions?' I question in my mind as I take a sip of the mouth-watering substance called coffee.

"meet the rest of overload for a surprise day out. Don't ask where because I don't know. all I know is I have to be there by 10AM" I cry.

I look at the clock on the oven to see it's 8:47 and I scream at how little time I have to get ready and look presentable, both of which is hard to do in exactly.. 1 hour and 13 minutes.

"I could drop you there?" Mum suggests and I nod appreciatively.

What am I going to wear? I rush up the stairs with my coffee and phone in my hands and I hop In and out the shower faster than ever.

I go in my closet going through the rails and rails until I come across my blue fault in our stars sweater which has the two okay? okay. bubbles and black and white checked leggings with my black doc martins and I leave my hair wavy putting my black and white patterned bandana in it.

When I'm done I look at the clock to see it's 9:30 and so I leave knowing I'll be a little early but it's better to be early than late ay?

I rush down the stairs and into the kitchen to where mum is sat on her phone. She looks up, seeing me ready with my backpack on one shoulder and gets the hint.

As we drive to the London Underground, my thoughts consist of me trying to remember more and more about overload, how they were formed, days out we had with them and also the girls, but no matter how hard I think, I can't seem to remember anything.

It's so stressful knowing I had a life and knowing I had cherishable memories but not remembering crucial bits of information, my life before the horrific incident.

Before my brain explodes, I catch sight of London Underground. Mum comes to a Holt at the entrance and I hop out saying bye to her. I enter the front entrance where I catch sight of Andy, and the girls stood around chatting.
