Autumn's Point Of View:

I silently left the kitchen and nodded my head towards my parents, and towards Summer, silently thanking them for letting me know.

Suddenly my mind started clearing up. I started to remember little things. I do have a strong memory.

I was running away from everything, I needed an escape. I was crying my eyes out and I wandered onto the freeway. Suddenly I was on a bridge and I heard an extremely loud noise blacked out. 

I woke up a long ass while later, apparently 2-3 months later. I was healed, I was very confused. I didn't know who anyone was. There were people surrounding me, with Get Well Cards and  with flowers. Tears filled within their eyes and suddenly a girl was crying her eyes out and gently hugging me. "I thought you were gone, I missed you.." It was Summer. She was snotting everywhere and sobbing. My hospital dress was soaked from her tears. 

I smiled, a crooked smile. I was glad I finally had a sister and a family who cared so much for me. 

I thought about my childhood.

I remember a man abusing me, throwing beer bottles at me. I was so little, my memory was vague. I shook my head and tried to forget about that man. I didn't even know who my mother was. I remember going to a graveyard when I was four. 

Wait.. my moms dead.

I tried to forget and remember what happened after I was adopted.

Life went on. Summer was my sister, mom and dad were my parents from then on. We went to school. I studied, I was a little trouble maker. 

Then I thought about Xavier.

I remember a boy, and another boy who was a bit younger than him. They followed me around, I guess they were friends of mine. I remember them being around me so often. One boy was adorable, had a cute adorable smile with blue eyes. I remember holding hands with him down the hallway, walking to the cafeteria. 

I got upset and picked up a pillow and threw it at my book shelf.

A book fell over and a piece of paper slipped out. 

I got up and walked over to the book shelf, picking up the book and putting it back. I noticed the paper and picked it up.

Oh my god, he wasn't lying.

Summer's POV:

I have been in my room silently for about 10 minutes, I guess it is about time to get up to check on Autumn.

I struggled out of bed slowly and groaned. I had a few small bruises on my arms and legs, the stomach pain slowly went away, but my head still hurt like a bitch.

"Fucking Sydney.." I groaned.

I opened my bedroom door and walked over to Autumn's room door. Her door was painted black, while my door was painted blue.

"That woman loves the color black." I muttered.

I knocked on her door and waited for a bit. There was no reply. 

"Autumn?" I said as I slowly opened the door. 

I hope she's okay.

I noticed she was just silently sitting on her bed, she had a photo in her hand.

"What's that...." I questioned.

"He really wasn't lying." Autumn managed to whisper.

" Xavier?" 

She nodded her head and handed me the photo.

It was a picture of her when in early 9th grade. She was at the beach with a guy. They were kissing.

I turned the photo over and there was writing. 

No matter where you are, I'll always love you Autumn. Sincerely, Xavier.

"Where did you find this?" I asked.

"In one of the old books that are on my bookshelf."

It was silent for a bit, then Autumn spoke again.

"I just don't know what to do."

"I think you should apologize to him, I think you hurt him." I hugged her gently.

"Alright, I'm going to bring this picture with me, to show him." Autumn slowly got up.

"Are you going to go out with him?" I asked, then I shut my mouth quickly, I wasn't supposed to say that. Oops.

"I don't know, I mean I hardly remember the kid," Autumn paused.

"I don't want to get hurt either."

 

I nodded my head and stood up. "Well if you're going to find Xavier I'm coming too. Might as well explain the  forgetting everything. Dylan too, he cares about his brother and is probably worried as well. They deserve to know. You probably confused them."

Autumn smiled softly and got up and headed towards the bedroom door. She grabbed her keys and looked at me.

"You coming or what?"

I smiled and got up and followed her.

Dylan's POV:

I rushed over to Xavier's and my dorm room. 

That boy better be okay. I shoved the key in and opened the door. Xavier wasn't in here. "Xavier?"

After a few minutes there was still no reply. I left the room and headed out. His car was still here, he's around here somewhere.

Wait. I know where.

I ran off campus and jogged towards a small park that was a block or two away from the school. Xavier was sitting on the bench smoking a blunt of weed.

"Xavier!" I shouted. 

He looked over and exhaled a puff of white smoke. He threw the left overs of the blunt in the trashcan and sat back down. I walked over and sat next to him.

"How many are you smoking." 

"I only smoke when I need to." He shook his head.

"Don't get hooked on that shit." I punched him playfully.

After a few seconds of silence he spoke. "She doesn't remember, I don't know why."

"Well maybe because-" I stopped when I felt my phone vibrate in my front pocket.  I pulled it out and read the text message. It was from Summer.

"You, Autumn, Xavier and I need to talk, meet us back at our dorm. We'll explain everything."

I closed my phone without replying and got up. 

"We have to go, Summer and Autumn need to talk to us, apparently it's urgent."
