Chapter 11 (Memory's Point of View)
A new
beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
- "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden
I saw Spot enter the building. I was glad that he was going to hear me sing. However, when I was done, he turned and ran out. Was my voice really that horrible? I remembered him always telling me it was beautiful when we were younger. I couldn't wait to tell him that I had my memory back. It was going to have to wait until after my debut though.
Medda was kind as usual. I remembered her from Brooklyn. Only five people knew who she was, and I was sworn to secrecy. I'm still not sure why Race didn't want the world to know he had such a great mother, I mean, if my mother was alive I'd shout it to the world.
Jack and Blink came up to me as soon as my audition was over. Medda would have let me sing no matter what, but since Toby was there, we had to pretend to audition. They both gave me hugs, and Jack kissed the top of my head.
"That was great, sis," Jack said.
"Thanks Jack." Since I had known him as Jack for the last couple days, it wasn't hard not to call him by his real name. I just had to remember that Frank and Amanda were from a different life. We were Jack and Memory Kelly. Yep, he let me adopt his last name. I have the sweetest brother.
I got away as soon as I could, I had to find out why Spot had left so quickly. It was driving me crazy not knowing. I found him a little later, standing on the Brooklyn Bridge, staring at the water.
"Hey Spot, I saw ya at Medda's, why'd you leave so quickly?"
"Do you love him?"
"Do I love who?"
"Jack. Do you love him?"
"Of course I love him. Just like I love Blink. But I doubt that's what you want to talk about."
"You love two guys? That's horrible!"
"Erik, calm down!" I practically yelled, becoming frustrated.
