This is a memoir, a written recording of every single one of my memories since I learned Autumn Summers died. I have not excluded anything: I am allowing you, the reader, a glimpse of my mind and of all my thoughts-no matter how intimate. That's a promise.

A long time has passed since the incident made the headlines of every newspaper and media station. And it took a while for everyone to move onto the next scandal so I could live at peace again. But I don't think I can say my life is exactly the same as it was. Nor do I think I want to go back.

Autumn Summers was a college student with the most generic name I had ever heard. She was pretty, to say the least. Studying law, too, to work for her daddy's law firm. Too bad that never happened.

If I remember clearly: it was her dad who found her body on that rainy autumn (ironic, huh?) night. Or, rather, what was left of her. You see, dear reader, her killer had removed her brain from her skull. Honestly, it was gross. And it was bloody.

And it was the first clue to the big underlying question: who took Autumn Summers' mind?

Literally.

He sat on the edge of the bed and felt like throwing up, he wanted to curl up in a ball and just sink far down into the ground. He didn't know what to do in the situation and was stress. The rain outside got louder and harder, hearing the roars of thunder. The windows sounding like they were getting hit by rocks, the AC felt like it was being pressured on. All this going on had him in frustration. His phone kept ringing repeatedly by the same contact as before, he takes a glance at it and turns it around not wanting to reply or even look at it. He felt one tear come down and caress his cheek as it made its way to his neck, he didn't even wipe it due to his state. He felt heavy and pressured on, he felt sick and numb. One tear after the other he start to ball out crying, until he saw the headlights from his window, the light crossing his face causing him to blink due to the brightness. He slowly gets off the bed and heads to the window. He looks down to see a black familiar car pull in the driveway as the rain hits the roof of it, someone gets out of it. The person looked worried and was already getting drenched in the pouring rain. "O-oh my god." He says in a weak voice and quickly rushes to go open the door. He got to the door and quickly opened it. The guy was drenched in rain but had a slight smile on his face, the boy couldn't hold back and immediately hugged him. He didn't care if he was drenched in water, he just glad he was there.... . . . . . . Desire ||✯✯||

"Happy day... Happy years... Happy holidays... I can finally rest! The school year had finally come to an end, and with it came the promise of two glorious months of freedom. A group of friends, exhilarated by the prospect of endless possibilities, began eagerly making plans. They dreamed of adventures and escapades, of doing anything and everything their hearts desired. Beaches, road trips, late-night hangouts, and spontaneous outings-nothing was off the table. The excitement was palpable, and their imaginations ran wild with all the fun that lay ahead. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Just as their excitement reached a fever pitch, strange and unsettling things began to occur. It started small, with a creeping sense of unease that none of them could quite put their finger on. Odd occurrences and eerie coincidences began to shadow their every move. They found themselves looking over their shoulders, feeling watched, as if unseen eyes followed them wherever they went. Then, the news broke. It was the kind of news that sends shockwaves through a community, the kind that changes everything in an instant. There had been a murder, a gruesome and inexplicable crime that left everyone on edge. The investigation was intense, with police scouring for clues and answers, but the fear lingered. For these friends, the carefree summer they had envisioned seemed to slip further out of reach with each passing day.

"I don't think you know who you're fucking with." He said simply not dropping the gun as the veins stuck out from below the skin of his bare arm. "I've killed people before." He laughed under his breath "I've killed lots of people before, what makes you think that I wouldn't kill you right now." "I think that if you actually wanted me dead, you would have killed me a long time ago." I replied without thinking. "You don't scare me." I lied "I know guys like you, they pretend to be all tough but deep down they're actually soft and mushy, like a little marshmallow" my words came out like vomit. What am I saying, he has a gun he could kill me, I really shouldn't be testing him but I couldn't help myself, I always knew my smart ass mouth would get me killed one day. God, today is that day. "I know girls like you." He started as he completely brushed off my insult "They get drunk at parties, and listen to the lies some fuck boy tells just to get pussy, you girls then believe those lies and jump on top of his dick like it the only one in the world, said fuck boy then pulls up his zipper and goes out to find Amanda the girl he's in love with, leaving you to wonder the streets drunk and used until you find yourself in a doughnut shop alone, incapable of standing on your own two feet." He half smiled "So what did he tell you? Lemme guess, he loved you, Right? That's the famous one." He shrugged, still holding the gun. My heart filled with hurt as I stood before him, I felt a lump in my throat as tears began to glisten up my bright hazel eyes but I quickly pushed it down. I was hurt by his words not because it was entirely true but because parts of it were. ****** •Language.

I apply pressure to the bullet hole. The pain nearly causes me to grow numb. Darren scoops me up into his arms as he tries to avoid sudden danger. His cautious movements are for my benefit. I gasp at the sudden pain. My heart pumps faster. Adrenaline kicking in. "Hold on, Autumn." I look up at his face. I never would've thought I'd actually care for him. Darren and I only teamed up because we were running from the same person. My father. When things quiet down around us, he lays me down on the ground. "Autumn, look at me. Please." The anguish is clear in his voice. I'm sure he feels the same way about me. The surprise of two strangers caring for one another. I look up at him with hooded eyes. He smiles weakly. "Hi." "Hey." I croak. He rips the bottom of my shirt and uses it to help apply pressure. It's soaked instantly. "I can't believe that son of a bitch--" He looks at me. "I can't believe he shot you." "He didn't shoot me." I try to sit up, flinching at the pull of my side. "The guard did. He didn't know who I was." Darren clenches his jaw. "You're losing a lot of blood." I force a laugh. "I guess it's a good thing that I'm a fighter." His eyebrows draw closer together. I wanted to say something to easy his concern, but words lodge in my throat, causing me to sputter. It feels like I'm choking. Desperately trying to catch my breath. "Autumn? Autumn!" I try to say his name among my coughing fits, but blackness grabs me with its cold merciless hands before I can get a word out... That moment when you have to learn to accept yourself, but you don't even know who you are. Your reality is shattered. And everything you thought was real, becomes the opposite. (Inspired by a dream)
