Amnesia | Luke Hemmings

The time

I run upstairs and put everything back to where I found it. I hug Luke goodbye. He tells me he will be around at 9:00 tomorrow and he will take me back to his place. I smile as he leaves, is he really going to be in my life forever I question. I look at the time it is 10:46. Time really does go quick. I get into my pj's and hop into bed hoping morning comes soon. I fall asleep thinking of how I am going to start fresh and what life without my parents is going to be like.

'"Come with me" Michael whispered grabbing my hand leading me down the road. It was about 11:30 in the evening. Most 14 year olds are in bed right now, but Michael wanted to show me something. I lied to my Mum and said I was staying at my friend Leah's for dinner and a movie. Lets just hope Mum doesn't call Leah's mum. Michael walked really quickly. It must be important what he wanted to show me. We walked into the park. It was pitch black, only the light hues from the park lights were the only things visible. Michael lead me over to a tree and stood in front of it "Look" he said pointing to the tree. On it was carved 'Michael and Mackenzie's best friends forever' I smiled as I saw what he wrote "You are my best friend and I never want to lose you" He said hugging me. I hugged him "I never want to lose you either" I say a tear rolling down my face. Michael is the only person who understands me. I couldn't live without him. He makes me laugh when Im sad, he makes me smile even in the darkest of times. He is the only happy thing in my life right now. Michael smiles "Don't cry" He said wiping the tear off my face. "Thank you" I say "Thank you for being an amazing best friend to me and sticking with me through everything. I cant have asked for a better best friend than you Michael Clifford!" I said smiling sniffing back the tears. He smiles "You are amazing Mackenzie Jones" He said smiling.

I wake up slowly. I stretch my arms up and hear my Father down stairs yelling my name "Mackenzie!" He kept screaming. I grab my dressing gown and run down the stairs. They were here. They had him hand cuffed. I look at my father who is trying to worm his way out of the hand cuffs. Not this time I thought to myself. The police officer straightens him up "Sir you are under arrest for harassment and abuse anything you say or do may be held against you in court" My father stops moving and looks at me "I love you Mackenzie" He says a tear rolling down his face. Have I done the right thing? The police officer pushes him out the door and puts him into the back seat of the police car. Should I have kept my mouth shut? I ask myself as the car drives up the driveway. I have no family now. I have ruined my life. I cry, I want to stop all of this. I am so stupid. What if my father really wanted to try and fix things up with me? I have ruined it now, I have ruined his chance at a new start. I have ruined his chance of getting to know me better. I will never get to know him now.I have to make my own life now and forget about him. I cant rely on him anymore for anything. How hard will that be? It will be my worse challenge I have to face yet. But I don't think I can live without family. I need to get away. I only hope Luke will understand. If he doesn't I may have to leave for good and not come back. Will this be my only chance?
