"Tell me about what you remember, any flashbacks or a glimpse of anything?" Ricky asked while using his hands to fan out the tears.
"No, I am beginning to give up on it, I don't think I will ever remember what happened that night, all I remember was waking at the hospital with cuffs on my hands, I was surrounded by police officers saying I was under arrest for murder." The fact that I could not remember anything was very disturbing, I couldn't say anything in court and the most disturbing thing was that all the evidence pointed against me.
It was murder and the punishment for murder was death by hanging, there was no two way about it but before the court processions my lawyer told me to confess to the crimes and I was told to not disclose my memory loss because it wouldn't help me in any way, besides all evidence pointed against me.
I confessed to a crime I didn't remember and the court passed a lenient judgment of life imprisonment, I ask myself every day if it was lenient because I prefer death to staying in this tight space not knowing what could happen the next minute.

6 months to live
It all started my sophomore year of high school. The first symptom that struck me was the constant headaches. I was easy to brush it off since I had been overwhelmed with before and after school activities. More activities meant more coffee to poison the pain of maintaining my reputation. "It's the stress," I would constantly tell myself. Then it was the small fragments of my memory that kept being stolen away from me. Bits by bits, they would slowly vanish leaving me demented. I though I was going crazy because I couldn't remember simple things like where I lived. It never occurred to me that I would only have 6 months left to live.Complete
His Weakness
His eyes, they looked more beautiful than any I've ever seen. The sparkle in them showed the vulnerability that was eating at him. The eruption its evoking. I've seen people look at me with almost the same emotion but not his. He reaffirmed his wrapped arm around me with a tight grip. "You're my weakness, Hazel. You've possessed my every inch..every part of me wants to submit to you, Hazel, I want to-" he said hoarsely, as if the tight hold on me wasn't enough, he used his other hand to remove the strand of my hair from my face and tagged it at the back of my ears. I gulped and my eyes shut as if their eternal thirst is being quenched. I was suddenly enveloped by a flick of the memories I wanted to keep buried. Dave and I "Don't you get it?...Don't you fucking get Everly?" he raised his voice, his eyes look scary and intimidating while his finger pointed to me "Every man loves you, they all want you. Whoever gets you have to worship you because, he doesn't wanna to loose you. Thats when he has to do all that you say, all you want, just to please you, but you know what?-" his evil grin appeared from nowhere, "-I'm never gonna do that." "You never get anything for me on any special day, not even my birthday and you're talking about doing things to please me?" I'd snapped back. "Of course, I don't-and I won't because I don't want you to be my weakness. I don't want you to be my fucking Weakness, my damn weakness, Everly. I. do. not. need. that-" He'd literally spelt his last words while pointing his shaky finger towards me with dreadful look in his eyes. "-I can't please you.I have alot going on. A CEO of a huge company like me doesn't need a weakness like you. You have to submit to me anyhow.-" He had said with a calm dead serious tone.
Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

I was in the courtroom but the little girl who was sitting next to me- maybe thirteen, so not really little- said there's no way he did it. Kids are a pretty good judge of character but I had to agree that some things looked off when the evidence was shown. The next thing I know the bag is pulled up some and a rag is put over my mouth and nose. I cringe inwardly at how cliché it is but hey chloroform does the trick and I'm out before we started moving.Complete
