A New Beginning

Chapter 10-I Dont Know You

Alyssa POV

I had no idea where I was or who I was with. I just woke up this morning and saw this... guy standing above me. He was very attractive, dont get me wrong but I had no clue who he was! Then there was this little girl, who was absolutely adorable but who was she? I had never seen her before in my life.

Then it got even wierder. The man who looked slightly older than me started saying that I was his wife and the little girl was my daughter. He must have been on crack because I think I would have remembered whether I got married and gave birth. Im only sixteen! Im not some sort of slag who goes around sleeping with some guys and having a child with them!

When I started telling the man to get out, he looked broken and I instantly felt guilty. What did he expect though? I had no idea where I was so I was bound to go crazy! As soon as I told him to get out, he grabbed the little girl and ran downstairs, leaving me spell bound at the end of the room.

I stood in silence for a few minutes, not knowing what to do. When I got my mind together, I decided to walk down the hall and go to the top of the stairs. As I looked down, I saw the man from before, cuddling the little girl who appeared to be asleep. He seemed to be crying.

I frowned, wondering why he was so upset. Was it something that I said? I didnt mean to offend him. I just... panicked!

I slowly walked down the stairs, not wanting to draw any attention to myself. When I reached the bottle of the stairs, I walked over to the sofa and tapped the man on the shoulder.

'Hey?' I say, which made the mans head shoot up and look directly at me. His eyes were red and puffy and he had tears running down his cheeks. 'Why are you crying?'

The man shook his head and kissed the little girl on the head. She was sat in his lap with her face burried into the crook of his head.

'You dont know me.' The man says. He carefully puts the little girl onto the sofa where she curls up into a small ball and continues to sleep. The man then stands up and takes my hands into his. I instantly jump back and take my hands away from him.

The man was stunned for a few seconds, then he put his hands up in the air in surrender. 'Hey, I wont hurt you Alyssa...ever.'

I just stared at him for a few minutes. I felt like I could trust him, could put my life into his hands. But why? I had just met him...

Just when I was about to say something, I heard people coming through the front door of the house. I spun around to find my parents and Eve and Michael walking into the living room.

'MUM! DAD!' I shout and jump into their arms. I hear the man behind me sigh and sit down on the sofa next to the little girl. When I turned around, he had his head in his hands.

'Are you okay, Alyssa?' My Dad asks me as he cups my face in his hands. I gulb and nod slightly. 'Where am I?'

My Dad sighs and looks past me, at the man sitting on the sofa. 'You're at your house, Lyss.'

I frown and look at my surroundings. I was definitly not at home!

'This..isnt the Glass House...' I say. Everybody just looked at me like I was crazy! What the hell is wrong with everyone today! 'Where's Daniel? Is he here?' I ask.

'Daniel... you wont see him for a while.' Michael tells me. I look at him in confusion for a few minutes.
'What are you talking about? I was with him yesterday..in college!'

'Lyss.. you don't go to college anymore.. you met Justin then you got married and had a child..which is Sophia.'

I was completely star struck. Was this some sort of April Fool's? Well it may be funny from where they are standing but over here, I completely missed the joke.

'Look, hunny..' My Mum says to me. 'Myrnin had broken the machine that runs Morganville... you remember Myrnin, dont you?' I nod. 'Well, he did some...adjustments to the machine and now people are loosing their memories..including you. Sweetie, you're not sixteen anymore... you are nearly twenty one and you're married and have a child..'

'No...Im sixteen!' I cry. My Mother sighs and walks me over to the large mirror which hung above the fireplace. She put my directly in the mirror and I gasped at what I saw. I looked... different. Older. More mature. My hair was longer..down to my waist now. My face looked more full and my breast were much more bigger.

'You've grown Lyss.' My Mother says as I stare at my reflection. 'You've changed.'

I turn around to face my Mum. I took a deep breathe and looked at everybody in the room. 'Okay..so what you're telling me is that I lost my memory and now I think Im sixteen again when Im really twenty one..'
'Nearly twenty one..you're twenty.'
'When Im really twenty and Im married to him and she is my daughter?'

'Yes.' My Father says. I turn around to look at the man who is supposidly my husband. Justin? I thinks thats what his name was...

He was sat on the sofa, looking at me with tear filled eyes. I walked over to him and sat next to him. By this time, the little girl had woken up and was looking at me happily.

'Ma-ma.' The little girl says. Everybody around me gasped.
'Oh my god! My Mother shouts. 'Was that...'
'Her first words..' Justin says. He had a gleaming smile on his face now. He picked up the little girl and kissed her all over.

I frowned and looked at everybody around me. They must have realised that I was confused because Justin said, 'Our daughter just said her first words..she called you her mama..'

'So its true then..Im her Mother?' I ask. Everybody nodded and I just.. broke down. I was so confused and I felt empty! I let the tears run down my face as I felt big arms wrap around me. I realised that it was Justin.. my some what husband.

'We're going to sort this out Lyss.' He says before kissing my on the cheek. I smile slightly. The little girl had somehow climbed onto my knee and had her arms around my neck.

'Right, lets go.' My Mum says as she grabs my hand and pulls me of the sofa.

'W-where are we going?' I ask.

'We are going to sort this machine out once and for all.'

And with that, we all climbed into my Mums car and set of to Myrnins lab. The little girl wouldnt leave me alone at all, she kept on saying 'mama' every two minutes. It was really cute but I was still scared and weary of everything. Hopefully this will all be sorted out so my head will actually make sense of things.
