Nothing To Remember

Prologue
He had already noticed the girl when she was getting on the bus at the airport. However, it was due to her striking appearance which differed so much from the look of the other passengers. She had black, curly hair and a bronze-colored skin which fluoresced in the sunlight. She wore a white baseball cap which was pulled almost down to her nose, so that no one could see the rest of her face. She was disturbingly skinny, and due to the oversized t- shirt and the dirty jeans she looked even more pitiful. The bus driver had met a lot of unfortunate passengers in his life and felt even more sympathetic for them if they were this young, especially if hey looked as poor and miserable as this girl.
Until now, she did not even utter a single word,. Instead, she just silently gave him the money for the ticket. After that, she disappeared somewhere in the back of the bus. In the review mirror, he could see how her head bounced to the rhythm of the driving vehicle. She was asleep.
His route was almost finished and the girl still did not bother to leave. Passengers got on and got off, but she did not move an inch.
In the end, he was forced to wake her up. Carefully, so that he would not scare her, he touched her shoulder:
"Miss, this is the last stop. You have to get off now."
She slowly lifted her head up. Her cap slipped off her head and exposed her brown sleepy eyes. She was indeed pretty, although she was a bit too skinny. Her cheeks were haggard and her face was relatively pale compared to the rest of her body.
"Where am I?", she mumbled and rubbed her eyes. When she noticed that she had lost her cap, she quickly picked it up and put it back on her head as if she did not want anyone to recognize her face.
"We're near Highway 101, not far away from the airport. Did you miss your bus stop? If you want to, you can use my phone to call someone to get you", the bus driver offered.
"No thanks. I will manage somehow", she said quietly and picked up her backpack.
"If you say so", the bus driver shrugged his shoulders, "but in case you get hungry, there's a diner just at the end of this road. It's not expensive and the food is really good. The owner is an old friend of mine. She will definitely help you if you're in trouble."
"Thanks a lot", the girl mumbled and stumbled head over heels off the bus as if she wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.
"Strange girl", the bus driver scratched his head with worry, "hopefully, she will make it."

*Unfortunately, I had to change the title. The original story is called "Severed Tie" and written in German. As I couldn't upload two stories with the same title, I was forced to change it.
