Finding Myself

24

Kim POV

Idina didn't know I'm behind this. Well I'm not the leader of the band and I'm not the one who submitted the proposal so I'm safe for now. The two of them are working together again and I think it might get tough since James is also here. It will be a love triangle. She loves James now. I'm just observing them and hiding as well when...

"Hello there." I got startled when dad caught me.

"Hi!" I said awkwardly.

He was shocked to see me. "You look like my daughter."

"Yeah. I hear that a lot."

"Kim there you are. I've been looking for you. Rehearsal at five." LaChanze interrupt. "Hello Mr. Menzel nice you." They shook hands. "Menzel? Are you related with Idina?"

I'm dead. I need to get rid of LaChanze. "Bye sir." "LaChanze let's go."

"Wait. You knew Idina?" He asked.

"Yes. We were friends before she got an amnesia."

"LaChanze let's go." I wispered.

"She's my daughter."

"Really? That means Kim.."

"I'm sorry sir but we really have to go. Maybe another time." I cut LaChanze off.

"Okay. Good luck with you. I'm sorry I didn't get your name."

"I'm Kim Goldberg. Bye Mr. Menzel." I pulled LaChanze. She looked at me suspiciously.

"Girl what was that?"

"What?"

"You said you're Idina's cousin. So how come her father didn't know you?"

"I'm from her mother side."

"Enough with the lies girl. I knew something is odd with you."

"I'm sorry." Tears fall. "You won't believe me if I tell the truth."

"Spill it." She said angrily.

"I'm Idina." I confessed but she just laughed.

"Oh another lie."

"I told you you won't believe me."

"How come you be Idina."

"I'm from the past and I'm trying to remind her who she was."

"So what? You time travelled?"

"I don't know either. There's this crazy woman, she pulled me and next thing I know I'm here."

"If you're really Idina then prove it."

"You have this big boy crush and you're flirting with him. When he asked you to be his girlfriend you immediately said yes to him not knowing you're just a cover up. He's just using you to hide him being gay. And you've never kissed. When you found out, you're crying your heart out and asked me for a drink. You were so wasted and stayed in my apartment for the night. Then the next morning when you've got your senses back you told me not to tell anyone about what happened."

"Where did you heard that?"

"I told you I'm Idina."

"That's not enough proof."

"Will this be enough proof?" I showed her my birthmark.

She can't believe it. "You're really Idina?"

I just nodded.

"So that's why you look so much alike? And even your actions are the same, your voice, even the food you eat. How can this be possible?"

"I don't know either. All I know is that if the present me can't remember I will seize to exist. That's why I wanted her to remember so badly."

"How come we didn't know Idina is rich?"

"Because I hid it from you. I'm a business student living a double life. I don't have to work for college tuition. I wanted to do music but people are expecting me to replace dad. I wanted to enroll in the college of arts but didn't get a chance to."

"Actually you did?"

"What?"

"You did get to study. You just started late because you're still saving. How much do you remember?"

"Well I'm still 25, after that I don't have any idea about my life."

LaChanze hugged me. She decided to help me and I told her not to tell anyone about it.
