Chapter 1
“What is your name?”
The man asked me.
I stared at him for a while.
I opened my mouth,
But nothing came out.
Do I have one?
Yes! Of course, I do!
What is it then?
I do not know.
“I do not know,”
Was all I can say.
“I do not know!
Why can’t I remember?”
The man gave me a sad smile.
He said I have amnesia.
He said I was in a terrible fight
That could have cost me my life.
A fight?
What was the fight about?
Whom was I fighting with?
I was confused.
Another man came in then.
He looked familiar.
“Do you remember me?”
His voice was filled with concern and worry.
He looks familiar.
Do I know him?
I’m not sure.
I didn’t remember,
But I felt like I could.
He seemed familiar.
As if we’ve known each other for a long, long time
He was a little taller than me.
A few inches or so
He had brown hair
Brown eyes
Googles on his head
He was well built for a man his age
He looked familiar
Maybe I do know him
He seems to know me
“No,” I replied.
“But you look familiar to me.
Do you know me?”
He smiled sadly.
“Yes, my name is Davis, Ken.”
I felt my heart skip a beat.
“Is…is that my name?”
What is this feeling?
“Yes.”
What is this feeling?
“I’m sorry, Davis.”
He’s coming closer.
“Sorry? For what? You did nothing wrong?”
What is this tingling feeling?
“I can’t remember you, I can’t remember anything!”
This warm feeling in my chest.
Could it be love?
No, it can’t be!
I’m a guy.
But I love him
I know I do
He sits down near me
He holds my hand.
“It doesn’t matter. None of this is your fault.”
I look into his eyes.
He looks into mine.
He looks so perfect
So handsome
So sincere
So familiar
“Who am I to you?”
He smiles warmly at me.
My heart fluttered inside
“You are my boyfriend
and I am yours, koi.”
Heat reaches me cheeks
My boyfriend?
That sounds right.
It felt true.
What does this mean?
“What happened to me?
Why can’t I remember?”
I was afraid to hear his answer.
He sighed and frowns sadly at me.
“Your parents don’t approve.
They didn’t like that you are in love with me.
I’ve known you since we were eleven
And we’ve been dating for four.
They tried to beat you into not loving me anymore.
Or any guy for that matter.”
I felt my heart sank.
It hurt
Memories or not
It hurt
It hurt to hear
To hear of my parents
Not accepting
Not approving
And almost killing me
Just because
Because I like Davis
He held me
I was crying
And he held me
I felt so safe
So not along
Maybe in time
Maybe with his love
The hurt will go
And I will remember
Remember him
His love
His very being
And the life that only seemed to be in a dream
