Ta da, revised chapter 3, out and ready. Enjoy! -DRA

I woke up with another killer headache, my dream of laughter and games and friends disappearing until all I could vaguely remember of it was a smile. A smile that belonged to someone important to me. Or at least, I thought so. Maybe. It was hard to say.

I looked at the clock and groaned as the numbers 5:55 glared back at me. I didn't seem to be sleeping well. I always woke up tired and aching. I glanced at my window to find it still mostly dark outside. Opening up the window and taking out the screen, I sat on the sill and watched as light brimmed at the horizon.

It was over a week ago that I had first woken up in that hospital and I was no closer to figuring out who I was or what had happened. But maybe with Camilla and Jenna coming over later, and Tyler not too long after that…. Well maybe I'd finally remember something. Anything. Because I hated this. This constant pain in my head and almost worse, this constant feeling of emptiness, as if all that I had once been had forcibly been ripped from me.

I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, in the shadows of the backyard, tensing up immediately. Something was there. And it was watching me. I prepared myself to get back inside and close the window, when a cat walked out of the shadows towards me, slowly and cautiously. A green cat. It stopped a couple feet away and stared me down for a minute before bolting over the fence and away. I sat there frozen even after it was gone. Forgetting for a moment that the cat was green, something just felt so….. off. Like maybe I shouldn't have let it go. Or maybe I shouldn't have seen it at all. It was hard to really place what I was feeling.

The sun was making its way up into the sky, so I climbed back into my room and closed the window, deciding to forget about the strange meeting with the even stranger cat. I had more important things to worry about.

Camilla was loud. Not necessarily in a bad way, but more like I'm here, I'm awesome, and everyone is going to listen to me and love it kind of way. She was confident and enthusiastic and could look at someone with her dark eyes and make them feel like they were the most important person in the whole world. When she saw me, she immediately ran up, gave me a huge hug, and started talking a mile a minute.

Jenna on the other hand was quieter. She walked up after Camilla, gave me hand a squeeze and a sweet smile as if to comfort me. She gave off this vibe of dependability. Whenever Camilla took a breath for air, Jenna would fill me in as almost like a translator to what the more boisterous girl was saying. Neither of them seemed to be the least bit concerned about my amnesia problem.

"It's okay, I'm sure it will come back," Camilla had said when I brought it up.

"It's not like it really changes anything, we're still your best friends," Jenna reassured. And then Camilla just continued on with how Rebecca was now dating Andrew and how she was too tall for him.

I'd like to say that there was some spark of remembrance after meeting the two girls, but if I did, I'd be lying. While the girls certainly didn't make me feel as guilty as my parents did, or as unnerved as the doctor did, they didn't make me remember anything either. At least they were willing to do most of the talking. As long as I supplied the occasionally "mhmm" and "oh?" and "right" I seemed to be fine.

"Ooooh we should go grab some food, I'm hungry," Camilla excitedly suggested. "Tyler can meet up with us there, it'll be perfect!" I managed to nod my agreement, while something in my stomach knotted a little. Tyler, my supposed boyfriend. Even thinking about it, it just seemed wrong. But it was probably just nerves about possibly getting my memory back. He was another person who supposedly might be able to trigger something.

After getting some money from Colleen and Jim, the three of us made our way outside. The second we left the house, I felt it. Someone was watching me. I don't know how, but I just knew. I turned around and saw a guy leaning against a motorcycle, dark hair, dark sunglasses, tall and toned, and staring right at me. For a moment, I forgot to breathe. Camilla and Jenna faded out of view and all I could see was him. My heart was beating too fast.

"Amy! Are you listening to me?" Camilla's voice shook me out of whatever trance I had just been under. What had just happened? Who was that? Camilla was waving her hand in front of my face and Jenna was looking around, probably to see what I was staring at. But when I turned to see him again, he was gone. Did I imagine him? Does this go back to me being crazy? "Earth to Amy!"

"Yeah, no, um sorry, I got distracted, it's nothing, what were you saying?" I managed to get out. My headache was suddenly worse and my heart still seemed to be going faster than usual. I just nodded my head when they said something about burgers and let them lead me down the street. Apparently it was a small enough town that you could walk almost anywhere you wanted to go.

As they continued talking, I tried to figure out what just happened. Going on the assumption that I was crazy and that guy was actually there, what could possibly be the reasons for my reaction to him? Or better yet, what could possibly have been the reasons for him watching me? It was like he had been waiting there for me to come outside or something. But if that was the case, why did he disappear?

Maybe he was part of a gang or something and I owe them money. Maybe that's how I got injured. And no one wants to talk about it because it's so scary. That would explain why I froze and my heart sped up. Fear is a powerful thing. And yet….. I wouldn't necessarily call what I felt fear. If anything, that was the first time I had really reacted that strongly to anything since I had woken up in the hospital. Stronger than when seeing my parents or when seeing my best friend.

That might not be a good thing though. Maybe he did cause my injury which would make him the last person that I saw before the amnesia and maybe that was why he was the only person so far to make me react.

Or maybe I just thought he was hot and my type. That seemed like the most idiotic of my conclusions, but still.

"Follow me please." It took me a moment to realize that we were already at the burger joint. We followed the hostess to a table for four and the three of us took our seats.

"I texted Tyler, he should be here soon. When do you get a new phone?" Jenna asked. When I had asked Colleen about my phone she had said it had been broken when I had gotten hurt and that they'll work on replacing it as soon as they can.

"I'm not actually sure," I replied, picking up my menu.

"Oh look, Tyler's here!" I turned and followed their gazes to the front of the restaurant where a tall blonde guy was talking to the hostess. He was handsome in a classical and it was clear that the hostess was already enamored as she pointed towards us. He turned and his light brown eyes met my mine before a huge smile spread across his face. He started making his way towards us.

"There's my girl!"

"There's my girl!" An arm made its way across shoulders as someone sat down on the couch next to me. I glanced up from my book to look at the person who decided to disrupt my reading. "Aww come on don't glare, you'll get wrinkles," he said, poking at the spot between my eyebrows. He went flying back in a second, landing on his ass a couple feet away. I smirked a tiny bit before returning to my book.

"Rooobbbbiiiinnn, she's being mean again!" he complained from the ground. I tried not to roll my eyes. Even if he was now taller and older and everything else, he hadn't matured at all. Robin chuckled from the kitchen behind us.

"Well maybe if you stopped antagonizing her, she'd stop being mean. Right Raven?" I gave a noncommittal grunt and continued reading. Robin just laughed some more. I smiled a little in spite of myself. It was hard not to smile when he laughed.

"Amy?" I found myself staring at Tyler who was kneeling in front of my less than a foot away. "Are you okay? You really seemed out of it just now. Are you not feeling well?" he asked, reaching out to put a strand of hair behind my ear. I flinched a little and he glanced over at Camilla and Jenna. What just happened? Why did my head suddenly hurt even worse than before?

"I thought," I started, my voice sounding a little strained. "I thought I had remembered something," I mumbled. The three of them gave each other looks. "I don't know, it's gone now, maybe I imagined it, sorry," I said, shrugging. I really thought something had come back to me. But now….. If something had, it was gone now.

"Oh, that's good though isn't it? So you remembered something about Tyler right?" Camilla questioned excitedly. It took me a second to realize that he was holding my hand and didn't let it go even after he sat down in the chair next to me, concern etched onto his features. He really was quite handsome, and yet…. I felt nothing. No familiarity, no heart racing, and no memories.

"I don't think so," I answered quietly, still not sure of what just happened. Tyler continued to stare worriedly at me for a few more seconds before he relaxed and smiled.

"It's all good, there's no rush, I'm sure your memories will come back in no time. So ladies, what are we ordering?"

When I finally returned to my room, after spending the day with the three of them, and then being ambushed by Jim and Colleen when I got back, asking if I remembered anything, how it went, etc, I was exhausted. My head had been hurting all day, though sometimes worse than others. Throughout parts of the day, I had felt like I had been being watched, which didn't help my nerves. In fact, I was so drained when I got into my room, I didn't even notice that my window was open.

"Who are you?" I froze. Was I hearing things again? Like that time in the bathroom. It almost sounded like the same voice except…. Except the one in the bathroom had sounded caring and friendly and worried. This one was just cold.

I slowly turned to see someone leaning against the wall near my window. It was dark in my room but I could still see enough to be able to tell. It was the same guy I saw earlier watching me. I hadn't imagined it.

He took a step closer to me and I felt that my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I felt like I couldn't breathe. The intensity I had felt earlier paled in comparison to what I was feeling now. While usually my headache dulled everything else, at this moment I felt everything, heard everything, saw everything. It was like my entire body was on red alert. Everything about him screamed predator, top of the food chain, head honcho. And he was gorgeous as sin. Dark wavy hair, sculpted body under dark fitting clothes. He didn't appear to have any weapons on him, but he also looked like he wouldn't need any. And even if I didn't see them, that didn't mean they weren't there. They could've just been well hidden.

"I'll ask you again," he practically growled. "Who are you?"

Hope you all enjoyed. If, once again, this is your first time reading and want to continue, the plot line that's different is that she went to school, found it super boring, Tyler is walking her home and Robin appears on his motorcycle going omg Raven you're blonde where you been, him and Tyler start arguing, Raven's emotions blow the bike up, she runs away, gets lost, and Tyler brings her home. That's pretty much it. I'm trying to decide whether I should just get rid of all the unrevised chapters or just do what I've been doing. Haven't decided yet. Either way, if you'd like, let me know what you thought. Not all chapters are probably going to come out the next day, but I have not given up on this story. So there's that. Anyways, thanks for reading! :)
