Chapter 138

I don't know this place, but this is not the weird thing. The weirdest thing is that I can see myself sitting at a table with a few books in front of I'm at a pizzeriae. I'm looking at them with tears in my eyes for a reason I don't know. I look around me and realize that Am I waiting for my order?

I stare at my face and it's easy to tell that I look sad. Something must have happened, but I don't know what it is. I walk closer to the sitting version of me and my eyes scan the names of the books on the table. The covers seem to be something I would enjoy. Suddenly, the place I'm at turned into a cloud of fire and smoke. For a few seconds, my ears stop working. Everybody around me is harmed one way or another, but I'm not. In fact, it feels like I'm invisible to everyone. I look at the other version of me that was once sitting at the table beside the window, and I find her unde?

Something seems to pull me out of the state of trance I'm in and I push myself to get up. I stare more at that other version of me and see a wound on my temple and blood on my hands.

This wounded version ends up getting out of the destroyed place and I watch a paramedic as she guides me to an ambulance.

When she asks me if I want to call someone, I tell her I want to call Silas. I place my phone to my ear and all I manage to say when he picks up is his name.

"Silas!" I gasp as I jump up from my sleep. My heart is beating so fast it hurts. I place my hand on my heart and look around my bedroom, trying to understand what has just happened.

Have I just remembered something? Is this a memory? I remember Silas telling me once that I was in an explosion. Is that the explosion he told me about? Oh my God.

excitement slightly fades when the curly-haired girl I have seen before opens the door for me. I remember her name, Maisie. "Rosie, hi," she says with a wide smile on her face. She stares at me for a moment before frowning. I look at myself and realize that I have practically jumped out of bed and run to Silass place. "Are you okay?"

me into his embrace. "This is amazing, Rosie! I'm glad you're getting your memory back," he says and kisses the top of my head. The way he's hugging me makes me feel safe. I don't want him to let go. "What did you remember, cupcake?" cups my cheeks, and I smile at the nickname

curse. I look like a mess. What was I thinking? I made Silas's friend see me like that. The girl must be thinking I'm crazy. My t-shirt is a bit disheveled and my hair isn't neat like it usually is. I turn on the water and splash my face, trying to get
