Do I know you?

“Stay strong like you always have please.”

“ I must not lose you too ” some one said

 “ I'm sorry, I feel so tired. ” I said and everything went black as I heard his distant cries echo.

“ Who was that I? ” I asked.

My eyes flickered open and I was in....a hospital room? I jolted up to find a guy with blonde hair sleeping in a chair, his body hunched over and his head on my lap.

“ Who...? ”

“ Ugh... ” my head ached when I tried to remember. Then the guy woke up. His blue eyes were dull, but when he saw me, it filled with life as he said,“ Retri?”

That was my name but how does he know that. My head hurts.

“ Who are you? ”

“ How do you know my name?” I asked as I scooted backwards away from him.

“Don't you remember me?” he asked.

Suddenly a scene flashed in my head.

The guy was there and ...me? I had long black hair and purple eyes and wore a black long sleeve shirt and denim jeans different from what I wore at the hospital which was a long dress like piece of clothing.

“ Did I know him? ” I thought confused.

Then I had a flashback.

“Are you ok?” he asked as his hair that blocked his eyes seem to reveal a worried expression.

I pushed him away saying, “ I'm fine ” as I turned away from him.

I was unable to look him in the eye cause I knew if I did, I would see that look on his face again.

“ I have lied to him once more ” I thought to myself as I walked away knowing that I won't be able to see him again. I entered the house and looked for Selina, my mother that she never liked me. Her striking aura that always fills the room wasn't there neither was her. Then the door swinged open and Arthritis was standing right there.

“ Get out of here, Mother will be vexed if she finds you here ” I said as I pushed him out the door back out into the gallery.

“ I know you want to be free of her grasp and is only staying because of me so let's go and run away together ” he said extending his hand towards me.

I hesitated before reaching out for his hand.

“ So my son conspires against me now too.”

“You know you will be punished for influencing my son to do this ” an angry and almost heart broken voice came from behind me.

I turned around quickly and saw that it was Mother. I shuddered by the thought of the wip that had striked my body and made me to the person I am and then thought of Arthritis.

“ I must not bring him into this. ”

“He have nothing to do with this mother, leave him out of this please” I begged.

“If you come with me and forgot about what he said I shall.” She said as looked at me.

“This was the last chance she was giving me to protect Arthritis by leaving him so I must ” I thought.
