Silence

Voice

Two months of physical therapy at the hospital, the therapist cleared Amara for home. She had also started remembering the places she had been to and even all of the guys (just not the parts where she was dating Till). Hanging out with them to help with memory recovery, Amara was lounging on the couch when her phone buzzed. Finding a message from Gavin and Lindsay with an attached video from both. Clicking on Gavy's first, Amara knew her brothers were up to no good when she saw Jeremy holding an axe. After Jeremy, Trevor, and Alfredo destroyed the poor tiny IKEA table; Jeremy came up with a brilliant idea (or not so much considering who watches it). Slipping on a mask, Lil J took an identical table, readied himself, then smashed his head into the table. Groaning from the impact Lil J readied himself for another hit just as Michael walked in. Another two hits and Jeremy had to take a timeout and Michael swapped in. Amara was basically rolling around on the floor as quiet squeaks of laughter came out every so often. Paul was the first to find the poor woman on the floor with phone in hand.
"Are you alright?" Asked Paul a little concerned at her reddening face.
Amara willed herself to stop long enough to give Paul a thumbs up.
"What's so funny?" Asked Paul as he helped her up back onto the couch.
Replaying the video, Paul couldn't help but crack up at her brothers' stupidity. His laughter attracted the other members floating around the house as they gathered to see what was making their little ball of sunshine laugh; even Reesh who Amara had the feeling that he was avoiding her came. Showing the others, even the ever so stoic Flake cracked a smile at the video.
"There is something wrong with your family." Said Doom.
That is an understatement.
The rest of the day went by with Amara showing old clips of her family's antics; such as throwing knives, the floor is lava with chickens, and even shaking a half destroyed dildo until it ripped in half.

A few days later Amara was sneaking around the house with Paul, the two had concocted a little prank for Richard and were currently hiding behind the couch waiting for the man. Hearing footsteps, the two trouble makers duct down and waited for the trap to spring. They heard the mechanism go off but the shout wasn't from their target. Paul's face drained of color as he slowly peaked up from behind the couch to find a very pied Till standing in the doorway. Giving a squeak he ran off to hide leaving his partner in crime to the dogs. Amara came out with a nervous chuckle as she quickly grabbed a towel to help clean the cream off Till's face.
Sorry. This was meant for Reesh.
Typed Amara since she was still going through vocal therapy and her voice was nowhere near better after years of disuse.
"It's fine." Said Till wiping the cream off.
Amara stood by looking nervous and unsure but gave up and typed something out.
I get this weird tingling feeling when I'm around you but I don't remember why.
"You really don't remember?" Asked Till.
Amara made a duh why do you think I'm asking face as she crossed her arms. Getting the hint Till decided to tell her instead of avoiding it.
"We were going out before this incident." Said Till.
Amara's eyes widened as she quickly ducked down to cover her face. The harder she tried to remember those forgotten memories the more her head hurt. Clutching her head she started hyperventilating and tears welled up caused by the pain. Till started panicking internally as he tried to help.
"Amara are you alright?" Asked Till as he placed a hand on her back.
Focusing on his warm hand, she slowed her breathing before weakly saying something after four years of silence.
"Till"
