Chapter one

The plane was landing on the ground on the other side of the airport safely with only a minor turbulent before it was time to exit the plane to gather up my belongings alongside me getting out of the plane carefully dragging my suitcase across the floor whilst waiting for any member of my family and friends to come to pick me up from the airport Whilst waiting for them to collect me from the airport I was listening to music walking outside in front of the airport for my ride home to arrive in a few minutes before dinner time to spend it with my family because I missed everyone else too much to be apart from them, even though I was slightly more exciting than nervous about being in a place where I feel like do belong here, hence why I was decided to come back in a city that welcomes me with open arms.

A small flashy car was honking its horn at me for three-time in a row as I was hoping for it to be my older brother Benjamin as in fact it was my seventeen years old sister Lola who had just finished secondary school beginning her second year of college right after the summer holidays and according to her, it is nothing like secondary school, however, if we are both lucky enough to not be involved in drama in neither of our education systems then we should be fine for now, avoiding the fights, arguments and the annoying Queen bee.

My sister and I are going home in her car driving on the road when I was paying attention to the green scenery of trees glancing at the window trying to forget that I was in a car to force myself to focus on the positive side of life to be able to keep myself distracted by the happiest memories of life for a while now closing my eyes to loosen up in the car.

"I am going to try to close my eyes and breathe whilst I ask you to please do everything in your power to get us home safely," I said in a brave voice enough not to cry to my sister Lola.

In my second year of university, a lot had been happening to me a couple of months ago, I had been looking like the exact meaning of the word worse to wear being worn out by a wave of sadness that has been taken over my life for the past few years ago and I think was given a chance of life to start over again even if I was certainly not sure why I was given a second chance to be on this earth moreover, I was going to find out what the reason for it to be an important part of my discovery to get back on solving more than one puzzle at a time. In the meantime, I was being too deeply into my thoughts on my past which is the reason for snapping out of it when I saw my sister whimper in her reflection of the rearview mirror sniffing back on her tears causing her to stop on the side of the road for a few minutes to get herself together to prepare for her to get back on the main road to drive us straight home.

Why is it that I have only been back home for a couple of hours and everybody else including myself is weeping into tears already?

The journey from the airport to my house was great because I get to catch up with my sister Lola whereas I will probably see everyone else at my house to be able to talk to them about their lives since I have been studying abroad not to mention the fact that I was in a coma for months fighting for my life when I was in hospital I heard that a tall dark brunette haired young man came to visit me every twice a month.

"I know what happened that day was a tragedy but I promise you that I would never put you in harm's way" Lola my sister sadly said to me.

My younger sister remains her eyes on the road for a long time before our house is in sight of being one metre away from us, and she drive-into the car park parking her car as we have arrived at our destination dropping me off at home then she gets out of the car next walking beside me heading towards the front door pressing her car keys button to lock her car after everyone has helped me finished carrying my bags into the house. Everyone has come up to greet me and hugged me or they are filling out on the part where I had missed out on not being in their lives for unfortunate reasons too.

A scream was coming from my best friend Penelope in the excitement of seeing me returning home then she forgot that I was still very much quite sensitive to loud sounds because the doctor told me to be avoiding high pitched volume to prevent any other signs of fainting, headache or much worse than this can lead me back into the hospital again, furthermore, I was missing Penelope Greer, so much so I hugged her. I saw a brunette, a haired man standing next to my older brother Benjamin Carter. I was not sure if I ever knew him in my life as I walked into my parents house seeing everybody yell out surprise to me during the music playing in the background then i  was manavring my way out of the living room heading straight into the kitchen to get myself a bottle of water to drink out from to get rid of my dry throat cause by talking to everyone in this house.

There was a male shadow lurking over me causing me to jump in the air.

" Lana, Hey!  it must have felt nice to be back home now" he said to me with a smirk.

I think almost choke on my bottle of water when I saw him standing not knowing what else to do so I blinked at him twice in a row in the confusion of how he knows my name which was a little bit more apprehension to see where this conversation was taking off until it hits me that he must have been one of my brother friends yet my best friend did mention of him a couple of times explaining that he is her twin brother that I think his name was Nathan who used to pick on me back then when we were little children, however, he did get more bearable to be around him in our teen years ages ago and we have both grown up in good shape.

My phone buzzed to a text message by Penny clarifying to me that I was talking to her twin brother in the kitchen as she was walking into the room looking back and forth between the two of us who stop midway through our chat to give her brother a look to say do not pressure me to remember everything in the past year or so to me.

"Nathan, it was so good to see that you have grown up and started to mature enough for your actual age," I said jokingly to him.

An exhale escaped from his mouth before he started to chuckle at my comment about him not taking any of it by heart including the same old smirk that was remaining on his face but not being affected by it at all. He walks up to me in long strides, therefore,  he has reached a point where I was standing leaning on the fridge in the kitchen even though my brunette haired best friend cleared out her throat loudly as a result of getting us to pay attention to her because she thought if something happens during in the closeness of her brother and I would cause a disturbance in my head for having every single ounce of pressure on me.

Furthermore, she looked at her brother pleadingly to back off from making a move on me and she said "I see that you have met my brother again and why don't we just do a little bit more of catching up with each other".

Following her out of the room as I felt his lingering gaze on me to make him aware of me knowing that I can feel him look at me as well as I was going upstairs to retreated to my bedroom, I turned around to look at him with a questioning look raising an eyebrow at him to prior to someone who I consider to be like a sister to me taking me away from him to spend some quality girl time with me.

"I guess I will see you later or some other time" I said to him.

There was a form of hurt flashed through his eyes and then he quickly covered it up with his signature smirk walking towards me when I was still in the hallway being inched closer to me, but he had been able to keep some distance between us just enough for me to feel his minty fresh breath on the side of my face causing my heartbeat to quicken like a whole moment it feels like time has frozen whilst he pushed my hair behind my ears to tell something.

Silently I was wondering what he was saying or what to even expect from his next action wanting him to kiss me, nevertheless, the pain of not remembering someone like him especially when I feel so much better and more importantly safe being this close to him. Continuously, holding my breath as we gazed intently into each other's eyes was the most tempting, moreover troubling thing to do right now.


"Don't worry about getting my name wrong because one day you will remember the meaning of who I was to you, love" he whispered into my ears standing close to me.

Those very words that he says to me today, I did not know what he meant by it and for the rest of the day, those same words were always been running around rent-free in my mind as I watched him leave the hallway to join everyone else in the living room for a few hours of chatting distinctively amongst themselves having fun. Not nearly noticing that my friend was calling for me to meet her upstairs in my room for us to look over old memories of the two of us hanging out with our friends because it might help bring back my memories.

"Maybe someday I will be able to remember everything from the way he looks at me to the meaning of those words" I muttered under my breath to myself.

They say sometimes if you want to know how to remember the person who holds some very good value to your life then you must have to reintroduce yourself and relive every single moment of finding the perfect balance between the beauty of the truth or letting yourself enjoy a simple day of silence spending time with them.

Willingness to be believed in this importance of taking life one step further at a time to not risk anything else including my health of getting a headache even though I was way too determined to remember him.

We as in me and my best friend stayed up all night long until it was time for her to leave my house to drive back to her house after visiting me today and I think back to myself wondering what life will have in store for me before I sleep off in my cosy bed.
