Chapter 20: Forgetting is Easy, Remembering is Hard

James's POV

I heard running all around.

My eyes fluttered as I slowly stretched my body while still lying down.

I hadn't had that good of sleep in a long time. It felt nice to finally just forget about everything and relax for a little bit.

"Wait!", I leaned up in bed and looked around while getting up, "Where are you going?"

All I saw was Zak yelling at Allie.

"I have to find Ash before..."

I stood deathly still and kept my eyes glued to the back of Allie's head. 

 "Where is she?"

Allie turned her body slowly around as I took a deep breathe to control myself.

"I-I...."

"Tell me!"

"She ran out okay!"

I stood still as I took a close look at her eyes.

Shock hit me as they reminded me of Ash.

"Are you like her now?"

She simply nodded her head as she stated down at the ground.

What all happened while I was peacefully sleeping?

"Then find her.....now."

Allie slung the door open and ran out with it slamming behind her.

"What happened?"

No one answered.

No one said a single word.

They just all stared at me like I was crazy.

"I go to sleep and tell you to watch her no matter what, then you let her go? Just like that. No fighting or anything....You just let her leave."

I paced back and forth as Liam, Sydney, and Zak stared at me and listened.

"Why?"

I shook my head as I stopped by the kitchen counter and slammed my fist down, shattering it beneath my hand.

My breathing quickened as I filled with anger.

"James, calm down. You don't know what happened."

I jerked my head around baring my teeth.

Sydney cringed in fear.

Her small body and facial expression reminded me of Ash in a way.

I took a calming breathe and looked at her.

"What happened?"

*~*

"So your telling me, hold on....let me get this straight. You smelled something?", I pointed over at Liam as he nodded his head, "Then Allie felt something?"

Zak nodded his head as I went through the story.

"Then something scratched her so you tow went off to the bathroom to fix her side."

I sat still and tried to replay everything Sydney had just told me.

"So then Liam turned to look at you, but you were looking at Ash. Why again?"

"Her eyes were completely white and she scared me the way she looked."

I nodded my head and remembered the rest.
