Hey guys, sorry I didn't update this weekend, I was on a much needed retreat!
here's the update, and ill put out a chapter 11 out as well!
Lucas
"So you were just going to tell her everything?"
"Not exactly…" After we got Z to calm down, Riley helped her eat and laid her down to sleep before saying,
"So…?"
"So, this is some nice yellow wallpaper." I say quickly with a nervous smile.
"Lucas!"
"Okay! Okay. Ask away."
"You said something about it including family, what does that mean?"
"Yeah. It has to deal with my sister." I say breathing deeply.
"What? I didn't know you had a sister! Why didn't you tell me? What's her name? How old is she? Why didn't I know about her?" Riley began talking so fast my head started hurting.
"BECAUSE" I said a little louder than I meant, "Because I didn't know she was alive until tonight."
"But she's your sister. How could you not know?"
"Well, she didn't act like it." I say getting upset.
"What did she do?"
"Nothing" I responded sharply, "I don't want to talk about it right now"
"But she's your sister! Don't you miss her? Don't you want to be with her?"
"I said I don't want to talk about it ok!" I say loudly, turning my back to Riley, trying to hide a tear. Surprised by my outburst I turn around and see her take a step back from me.
After taking a deep breath, she says, clearly upset,
"Fine. You don't want to talk about it? Fine. But you know that you don't always have to deal with things on your own."
"Listen. Riley I'm sorry I…" I started as she walked out and slammed the door behind her.
I waited a few seconds before going to try to talk to her again. Walking out of the room I see Josh go downstairs and heard a shout that sounded like Riley, so I quickly tried to rush downstairs, but slipped and hit my head on the wall then I blacked out.
Riley
"So you were pretty upset with him?"
"Not as much him but the fact that he was hiding things…After I left the room I headed down the stairs to rejoin everyone but wiped my watering eyes clear. Lucas has never yelled at me like that, there must be something big going on between them. I ran past Josh and Maya going down the stairs and passed them going to the kitchen.
"What was that about?" Josh asks as Maya looks up from leaning on him. I ignored them for moment until Aunt Peggy and Kathrine came into the room.
Looking straight at Kathrine I ask, "What did you do to Lucas?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." She proclaimed.
"He won't tell me so you're going too. Why is he so upset to talk about you to the point of tears?"
"Well…"
"Well what?" I yell making the room more uncomfortable by the second while waiting for her to answer. Then we heard a thump coming from the stairs and Z started crying again.
Great, what's wrong now? I thought angrily as I ran up the stairs only to see Lucas lying in the middle of the staircase, unmoving with very shallow breaths.
"Oh my gosh!" I yelled so loud that Josh and Maya followed by half of the house came up and saw Lucas.
"What happened?" Uncle Dom asks frantically.
"What does it look like Dom? He fell." Aunt Peggy said clearly annoyed
"Or he was pushed, right? Some of you go check the rooms and give him some space." I say nervously, "Is he alright?"
"He has a pulse." Josh says as people rush by us to check rooms and the roof.
"Quickly, we need to get him to Doc Mike's." I hear Uncle Dom say from behind me.
***2 Hours later*****
We went to Doc Mike's house down the street from my Uncle's. He told us that Lucas has a concussion and had hit his head so hard he possibly had amnesia.
"If he has amnesia then he won't remember much, right?" I ask.
"He might remember some key things like talking and breathing, but it is unlikely that he will remember things or people, he might not even know his name. We will see when he wakes up."
Just as I turn to look at Lucas, I see his eye open quickly looking at me. We stared at each other for what seemed like moments but turned out to be seconds before I watched fear fill his eyes and he ran out of the room heading outside
Lucas
"What did you remember?"
"Nothing…. Everything was dark, and I heard people talking around me. There was this girl talking, and her voice sounded so familiar, like something you'd never forget but I can't quite put a face to it. Then an older voice talking, he said
"He might not remember his name"
How can someone forget their own name I thought…? I can remember my name, its… its…... what's my name? Wait, who am I? I open my eyes in a panic before locking eyes with these mesmerizing chocolate brown eyes. I realize they belonged to the girl whose face I couldn't match with her voice. I was calmed for a second before I became panicked and ran outside hoping to find a grassy field but much to my disappointment I found a worn-down old street. Looking around I saw a man dressed in a giant army camo suit with an Iranian flag on his Lucaset.
"Is it Halloween?" I thought until he saw me and began to move closer. Right as he was breaking into a sprint, someone behind me shot and killed the man causing me to jump in fear. Who would do that? Who just kills someone like that? I turn around to see a short bald muscular man standing nearby with a pistol in his hand.
"Why would you do that?" I yelled at him.
"Keep it down kid." The man said calmly
"Why so the COPS don't come?" I said even louder.
"What are you talking about? Kid I'm serious, you need to shut it."
"Oh seriously? Fine, nice to meet you, crazy murder! What's your name? I would tell you my name, but I don't know it!" I yelled sarcastically while panicking.
He walks up to me quickly, hits me in the head with his pistol while I begin to run away, and knocks me out.
