~ * ~ * ~


It was now a week later Jamie had remembered her name and that she grew up in Beaufort, nothing more. She had grown to love Colleen and Toby as if they were her parents, in just that short amount of time too.

"Would you like something to eat dear?" Toby asked snapping Jamie from her daze.

"Sure, whatever you and Colleen are having is fine," Jamie replied with a smile.

Jamie sat there looking out the window; her hand absently wondered up to her neck and she felt a thin chain around it. She looked down at it and an image
flew into her head.

~*~Flashback~*~

"Where is it?" She screamed.

"Where's what?" A boy about thirteen years of age asked.

"Don't play dumb with me you jackass, my locket!" Jamie snapped.

"How would I know what happened to that stupid locket?" The boy snapped right back.

Jamie walked over to him and got right in his face. "If you don't take that back you'll wish to God you had," She threatened.

"Ha! I'd like to see that," He said as a challenge.

With that Jamie's hand shot back and she punched the boy right in the nose.

~*~End of Flashback~*~

Memories, I don't know you.

I feel as if I'm missing something, I know your it.

This face that lingers, it feels so strong.

Can it be the answer?

Memories, will I ever get you back?

Jamie then snapped back to reality, back to the life she could remember nothing about. That boy, who was he? Did she still know him? Did he know her? All these questions, Jamie needed an answer to them.

Toby then sat a plate of eggs in front of her. "Better eat up hun, you don't want them to get cold."


Jamie was sitting outside on the fancy porch surrounding Toby and Colleen's house. "Who is he, or was he?" Jamie asked herself. "And why is this locket so important to me?"

"Have another flashback did you?" Colleen said sitting by Jamie.

"Earlier today, during breakfast," Jamie confessed.

"You shouldn't stress so much over stuff like that," Colleen said smiling warmly at Jamie.

"Thanks but I'm afraid I can't help it, I mean I don't tell them when to come, I mean I could be watching the news and one could hit," Jamie said.

"Speaking of that, today in the paper some poor woman was killed in a wreck late last night," Colleen said solemnly.

"That's awful!" Jamie exclaimed. Suddenly Jamie had a flashback that she never wanted to have.

~*~Flashback~*~

"I can't believe her, she's late again," Jamie said to herself. "I'm so never going to forgive her this is the fourth time this week!"

Suddenly young Jamie saw her mother's car coming down the hill to the school house. Before Jamie could realize it a truck went speeding up the wrong way and smashed into her mother's car causing it to go up in flames.

"MOM NO!!" Jamie screamed.

~*~End of Flashback~*~

Time goes by, and now I feel as if maybe I don't want you back.

So much pain, so much suffering.

Pieces I know, there's so much pain.

My heart breaks, I don't know why

Memories, do I want you back?

"Mom!!" Jamie screamed; she then looked at Colleen with horror in her eyes.

"What dear what did you see?" She asked putting an arm around her.

"The locket, I got it from my mother, she died a……along time ago," Jamie said with tears running down her cheeks. "In a car accident, the truck, she
didn't even have a chance!"

"There, there honey, let it all out." Colleen said hugging Jamie.

"Colleen I can't take it I want to know everything! All I know is that my name is Jamie Sullivan, I grew up in Beaufort and my mother died when I was in junior high!" Jamie sobbed.

Jamie then got up and ran she didn't know where she was running or what she was running from. "Dammit I want to know who I am!!" She screamed as she stopped and fell on her knees.

As if to soothe her God sent her a flashback unlike any of the ones she had before.

~*~Flashback~*~

Jamie and some guy were in a house together, Jamie recognized the guy as the boy she had socked in the nose. He looked depressed and Jamie looked eager
to get him out of the house.

"Landon come on!" She cried.

"I won't win so might as well," He said glumly.

Jamie smiled and dragged him outside. They talked for a bit then Jamie
grabbed his arm and started running to what seemed like a boring patch of land.

"This is peaceful," He said looking around when they came to a lake surrounded by pine trees, bushes, and wildflowers.

They exchanged more words when 'Landon' grabbed her hand. They stared at each other and Landon brought his hand to her cheek.

Landon slowly leaned in and kissed her softly, they kissed as the sun went down and the sunset reflected on the lake, everything seemed perfect.

~*~End of Flashback~*~

Between all the pain, there's some happiness.

Between all the pain, there's love.

Why can't I feel it?

I know it's there

But it's so blank.

Memories, what does this mean?


Jamie opened her eyes and looked at the ground. Suddenly everything came flying back to her, Jamie let out a soft sob. "I remember," She said softly.

"My mother's death, Cynthia's death, Megan, my father's pain, the train wreck, Landon," She whispered. "I finally remember."
