My Romeo

Scarlet’s POV

I don’t know where I am. I’m in some dark house, I’m guessing. I search the wall for a switch. I finally find on and turn it on. Let there be light! Now to find out where I am. I walk down the hall to what looks like a family room. There’s pictures everywhere. There’s the picture of me and Mitch Lucker, Nicole, Ricky, Andy, Alex, Ashley, and even Juliet. Every person I know. Why? What is this supposed to mean. I pick up a remote from the coffee table. I click on and the fire place starts going. I try to turn it off, but it won’t. Every picture in there is thrown into the fire, I don’t want to be next. I try the door, but it disappeared along with all of the windows. I’m done for if I can’t get out. I try to stay in the opposite corner in the room, but the flames of the fire pull me in by my feet. I watch as the fire slowly burns my flesh and all that’s left is my screams.

My eyes flicker open and I’m shaking. It was just a dream, where am I? I lie in a bed in a room; white is the only colour that surrounds me. There’s a window, I get up to look through it. It’s raining; I sit on the frame and watch as cars drive by.
“Scarlet! You’re awake!” A girl who looks my age shouts in cheer. She runs up and hugs me. “Andy’s going to be so glad you’re awake!”

“Who? Sorry um who are you?” I ask, not familiar with this blonde girl in front of my eyes.

“It’s me Scar, Nicole, your best friend.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t remember you.”

“It’s okay, just sit in your bed, I’ll be right back with a doctor.” I nod and do as she told me to. She called me Scar, is that my name? Am I named after a mark on one’s skin? The girl comes back with a doctor.

“Hello Miss Kanes, I’m glad to see you’re up and working. Do you remember Nicole?” she asks.

“I’m sorry, I don’t.”

“It’s okay dear. Do you remember any of your childhood?” I shake my head. “Hmm, looks like she has Amnesia.”

“She has what? How could this be?” Nicole asks, freaking out.

“She lost all memory of her life, I’m sorry, but she’s healthy. You can take her home and there’s a chance she’ll remember.”

“But what if she doesn’t remember?”

“Then Scarlet gets a new life, a new beginning.” The doctor walks out of the room and Nicole starts crying.

“Hey, don’t cry. Darling you’ll be okay.” I say rubbing her back.

She giggles a bit. “You remember Pierce The Veil lyrics.”

“Pierce The what?” she laughs.

“Come on kid, I’m taking you home.” Nicole grabs clothes from a cabinet and we leave the room.

“Scarlet you’re awake!” a tall guy says and gives me a hug. He’s pretty cute.

“Gaskarth, she can’t remember anything.” Says Nicole.

“You can’t remember me?” he asks. I shake my head.

“Are you my boyfriend?” I ask, Nicole chuckles and keeps walking.

“I wish. No, your boyfriend’s name is Kellin, he’s gone missing for about a week now. Why are you crying?” he asks looking down at me. I wipe the tear away and just look up at him confused.

“I have no idea.” I tell him, Nicole comes back and yanks me to keep walking. When we get to the parking lot, Nicole opens a door and waves for me to enter. I sit in the seat and she puts the seat belt on me like I don’t know how to do anything. She talks with that man for a bit, and then enters the car. He waves at me, he looks sad. I wave back and Nicole pulls out of the parking lot and into the street.

“Who was he?” I ask, still not sure of what just happened.

“His name is Alex Gaskarth, he’s your English teacher. You guys are great friends and I think he has a little crush on you.”

“Isn’t that a little inappropriate? He is my teacher.”

“He is attractive, and you did have a thing with a teacher.”

“I did?”

“Yeah, he was our music teacher, but now he’s off working on an album. He’s the lead singer of a pretty cool rock band.”

“Wow, I wasn’t aware of was a slut.”

“You’re not a slut, you just have always been attracted to older men, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“He also said I have a boyfriend.”

“If he’s not dead. Kellin’s been missing for a while, you two were a cute couple, but I still prefer you and our music teacher.”

“What was the teacher’s name?”

“Andy. Oh we’re here.” She gets out of the car, grabs the clothes from the back seat, and helps me out of the car. We walk into a building and down the hall to a door. She opens it and the living has ashes everywhere. She leads me to one of the bedrooms in the back and I sit on the bed. She goes through the closet and throws a number of things on the bed. “Put these on, when you’re done, come out to the kitchen.” I nod and she shuts the door. I put on the Tshirt that says Pierce The Veil, the red ripped skinny jeans, and the black boots. I walk out to the kitchen and she hands me a can. “Drink it, it’s a Monster, your favourite.” I nod and take a sip. “I’m going to call someone now and put them on speaker, okay?” I nod.

“Hello?” The voice of a deep man speaks through the phone.

“Andy it’s Nicole. Scarlet’s awake and you’re on speakerphone.” She says.

“Scar you there?” he asks. I look at Nicole and she nods.

“This is me.”

“I love you and miss you. I wish I could have been there when you woke up.”

“Who is this?” I whisper.

“Andy.” She whispers back.

“I love you too Andy.” I say.

“Scar I’m going to talk to Andy alone now, why don’t you take your drink and go into your room?” she says. I nod and do so. Though I sit in the doorway of what appears to be my room, I want to listen in. “Andy, Scarlet lost her memory.” She tells him.

“What do you mean? She just said she loves me.” She must have left it on speakerphone.

“Please believe me, she can’t remember anything. She doesn’t know me, you, she can’t even remember Pierce The Veil. I’m scared I lost my best friend.” I decide to stop listening and enter my room, shutting my door behind me. I lie down in my bed and think about the things Nicole has told me. Soon she enters my room and sits on the end of my bed forcing me to sit up.

“Can I ask you questions and you answer honestly?” I ask and she nods. “What’s my name?”

“Scarlet Elizabeth Kanes.” She answers.

“Age?”

“Seventeen, your birthday was August 17th.”

“How long have we known each other?”

“Since grade one.”

“What are my interests?”

“Music, guys, art, poetry, weed, alcohol, and having a good time.”

“Where are my parents?”

“Dead.”

“Not true, we have the same biological dad. I got your message. So my sister can’t remember me?” A guy about our age asks.

“No she can’t, and I thought you both hate your dad.” She says.

“Not hate, just don’t like, the man only missed out on most of our lives. She can’t even remember who he is, and to be honest, I think we should go live with him. Her aunt is barely here, we need to look after her, and he’s willing to have us.” He says. Now I’m really confused.

“Are you sure you want to?” she asks.

“Yeah, I think it’ll be good for her. Help her pack her stuff, I have the car running.” He says and leaves my bedroom.

“What’s happening?” I ask.

She looks up at me. “Looks like you’re moving in with your real dad, a drug dealer.”
