my stomach almost completely out of my
body.
    I couldn't help the excitement bubble inside
of me. Sure, it was terrifying but I liked the feeling.
Before I knew it, we were on the highway headed
for home. He weaved in and out of traffic like a
pro.
"I really like you Ever," Harper spoke
glancing over at me. I looked away embarrassed.
    "Maybe we could hang out again? I don't
mind coming and getting you. It would be like a
date."
"Umm..." I frowned. Did I want that?
    “
No,” a voice whispered in my head. I
thought about what Kimmy had said. Maybe I was
selfish. Oliver did care about me. Could I go out
with Harper? It would hurt Oliver so much.
    "Oh come on," Harper encouraged. "Do
you still want them running your life? That girl,
Kimmy right? All mothering and bossy? Don't you
have a say in your life? When do you get to make
decisions to make you happy not everyone else?
You are entitled to be happy Ever."
    I nodded. Don't I deserve to be happy? I
mean ever since I woke up I've been completely
depressed. Maybe I have been selfish, but I am
entitled to be happy ain't I? Kimmy could have told
me she was pregnant. I didn't need her taking care
of me. I don't need anyone babying me. I'm grown
I make my own decisions.
"A date sounds nice," I told him.
"Great. What are you doing tomorrow?"
I shook my head, "Nothing."
    "How about I be at your place about seven?
I'll show you the best there is. I promise," he
grinned. The shadows in the car cast across his ace
as he said this and it made me want to shiver. How
was he so familiar?
    I waved at Harper from the stairs as he
pulled out of the parking lot. Once he was out of
sight, I looked down at my cell phone. He had gave
me his cell phone number, told me to text him
later. Frowning down at my cell, I realized I had
four texts and three phone calls. Opening the first
text, it was from Kimmy.
"Ever, I'm sorry. Where are you? We're
waiting by the car." -Kimmy
    "Ever, why aren't you answering your
phone we looked around the club but they said
you left." -Kimmy
"Ever! Pick up your phone!" -Taylor
"Hey Kimmy just called me freaking out
where r u?" -Jake
The calls were from Kimmy, Jake, and then
Oliver.
Just as I was about to listen to the voicemail
the phone rang again. Sighing I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Everlyn Ann Fox, where the hell are you?"
Kimmy exclaimed.
"I'm at home," I told her.
"He took you home?" she scoffed.
"Yes, he did," I told her.
    She sighed. "Ever, I'm sorry. I was just
grumpy. I was a jerk for all the things I said. Can I
come over so we can talk?"
"I'm about to go to sleep," I told her glaring
at the elevator door as I pressed the button.
    "Oh ok. Well maybe tomorrow?" she asked
sounding hurt. I pushed down my guilt. She had
hurt me just an hour ago. Maybe she apologized
but remember I'm selfish. The elevator dinged and
the doors slide open.
    "No, I'm busy tomorrow. I got to go, really
tired," I hung up and slumped into the elevator.
The doors slide shut and my distorted reflection
stared back at me.
    What had I become? Angry, bitter, and
mean? Maybe when I lost my memory something
inside of my head broke too? What if I never go
back to the way I was? I know I'm different. I
know I'm hurting people but I can't seem to stop.
What is wrong with me?
~~~
    I was running through a forest. It was
pouring rain and I was so cold. Tripping I fell into
a mud puddle, footsteps were running up on me I
tried to dive under a bush but someone grabbed my
ankle and jerked me back out throwing me over on
my back. I was no longer outside but in a rundown
shed backing up against the wall, I stared at the
person before me. There face was cast in shadows.
“Stay away from me,” I threatened in a
weak voice.
    They laughed darkly.
“I’m not going
anywhere Ever. I’m always going to be here. You
can never get rid of me.”
    I cringed. Jason. I knew his voice. Stepping
forward there face no longer covered in darkness I
seen it wasn’t Jason at all.
