Final time~ I hope you enjoyed the beginning of the story thus far. Sorry for any spontaneous sobs or break downs, I take full responsibly for any character or belief death. (His thoughts are in italics~) With lots of love and hope Maddie~
~Year Fifteen~ (Matthieu's POV)
"Mattie!" Alfred's voice rang out. "Are you okay? You've been really quiet." I looked over at him. Aren't I always quiet? Or was I always quiet?
I guess it is kind of scary, not Alfred but the fact that I didn't know for sure who I was, and what kind of person I was, I was a poet for sure. The man named Alfred and his friend Gilbert told me a lot of different things about myself. But who is to say that they aren't lying?
I want to know. Who I am…. Was. All I know for sure is that my name is Matthew and that man is supposedly my brother. The vehicle finally stopped at a house.
I looked to the man… ahem.. Alfred for instructions. He looked back to me and smiles. "We're here!"
"We're where." It looked as if he had chosen the suburban neighborhood he could find and stopped.
"Don't you even remember your old house? Come on lets go say hi to mom and dad." He said as he exited the car. Parents? I get out of the car and followed him. He doesn't even knock he just unlocked the door and walked in exclaiming "Mom! Me and Mattie are home." I sat there waiting to hear some kind of reply. Nothing…
After a bit the man that Alfred introduced to me as Arthur came around the corner. "Don't refer to me with such a fobish label." He looked peeved.
"Whatever you say mom." Alfred retorted.
"Mom?"
"That nimpty git likes to refer to me as if I am a woman." The man huffed.
"But you're a college professor…"Alfred placed his hand on my shoulder. "Um…. Excuse me?"
"Artie here is like a dad to us Mattie… Don't you remember trying to remove his brows when we were little or putting his favorite blazer in the neighbors pool?"
"YOU WHAT?" He snapped "Is that why Mrs. Laws tried to accuse me of breaking into her home?" The man … I mean Alfred started to laugh then flicked the Englishman's eyebrows.
"You two… Please..." I interrupted the fighting the best I could. "Please…" The two stopped arguing and looked at me. "I don't like to see you fight…" Alfred stared at me.
"Mattie... Are you… Did you remember something?"
"Umm…er... I don't know I just don't like it you shouldn't fight though." I sighed "Why did you bring me here anyways?"
"I came to show you something. It might help you get your memory back."
"Er… What is it?"
The man…. Er… Alfred pulled me out of the door and back to the annoyingly loud pick-up trunk. We drove to an oddly familiar place. A cemetery. "Why are we here?" He forcibly removed me from the car pulled me to a tombstone. "STOP!" I tried to pull away. He forcibly turned my head towards the stone.
The name read: Francis Bonnefoy
"Francis?" The words felt like boulders as they poured from my lips. Why did my chest start to fill heavy? I sank to my knees and stared up at the stone. Who are you? The thought poured through my head and made my mouth dry. I closed my eyes.
What is this? A memory? It feels so.. real… so warm.
I opened my eyes. Where am I? The scenery resembled a garden of sorts.
"Are you lost mon petit?" A voice rang out from behind me. I turned my head. A boy was standing there, or maybe he was a high school child. He had the brightest blonde hair, or maybe that was the sunlight playing tricks on my eyes, blue eyes, and a slight pleasant air about. Wait… petit?
I realized I was looking up to the figure. "Who are you?"
He smiled, "The freshmen are always so cute~ I am Francis Bonnefoy. But sil vous plait just call me Francis."
I felt my face heating up "Francis…"
Just like waking from a pleasant dream I was suddenly pulled back to reality. "Francis…" I felt tears welling up in my eyes. "Bonnefoy…." All at once the memory started to pour in and like a full glass I started to flow over. The sting in my eyes from the constant flow of tears was becoming un bearable…
"This can't be…"
To Be Continued…
Sorry mon chers… I had to stop but I promise I WILL Finish this. Please review~ With lots of life and love Mads~!
