Chapter 110 - Ch. 110 I Had Amnesia?

"What do you mean Roxy was our friend?" Kaylee felt very sure that Roxy was her sister, but why Wendy told otherwise? Did she lie to her?

"No, Kaylee. Roxy was our friend, to be exact, she was my friend. I don't know if you remember it or not, but you preferred to hide in a corner and be shy to come out from a young age. When Roxy came to my house, you hid behind the door."

"Why do I always hide every time she comes to your house?"

Wendy chuckled, reminiscing the past. "You admire her, and you tend to hide when you see people you admire. You remember when we almost met Black Moon in Boston. We had the chance to meet him directly backstage, but you ran away."

Kaylee's cheeks flushed at her best friend's explanation. Well, it does make sense. Somehow she tends to hide and doesn't dare to face the person she admires the most.

It might be because she was afraid to make mistakes or do something that makes the people she admires to hate her.

Kaylee also remembered that she hid some distance away when she saw Roxy talking to little Nick and the person who has a snake tattoo on his neck.

Who was it?

No, wait. In her dreams, she used to call Roxy 'sis' instead of her name.

"But... I call her sis..." insisted Kaylee as if she still felt sure that Roxy was indeed her sister.

"She is older than you, and you admired her. Hence, you call her a sister."

Wendy's explanation sounded reasonable and acceptable, but for some reason, Kaylee's heart was getting restless as if to say that Wendy was not speaking the truth.

"How about the tattooed guy? Who is he?"

"What tattoo?"

"The snake tattoo on his neck… it seemed he was close with this sister Roxy."

Wendy didn't answer Kaylee and only clenched her jaw tightly.

How in the world could Kaylee remember that evil traitor man instead of remembering herself?!

"You know him, don't you? Who is he?" urged Kaylee while gripping her friend's hand in urgency.

"No." lied Wendy. "I don't know him."

"You lied."

"Why did I lie to you? I don't have any advantage in lying to you."

Kaylee frowned in displeasure hearing her remark.

Well, what Wendy said was true. The girl gained nothing by lying to her, but… Kaylee still felt dissatisfied with the answer.

Why did she feel like the people around her were hiding something from her?

Can she directly ask her parents? It seemed that the only one in this world who knows the answers to the thousands of questions in her mind was her father.

"Kaylee, why are you trying so hard to find two people who no longer exist in this world?"

Wendy's question intrigued her. The two people she meant were no longer in this world? What does it mean?

"What do you mean?"

"Roxy is dead."

Kaylee gasped in shock at this. Her sister… her friend, is dead?

"What? When? What happened?"

"It was a crash plane. We all came to the funeral, but you… I think it took a toll on you when you heard about her plane accident. You locked yourself in your room and refused to eat for days. You're having deep depression, Kaylee and you blame yourself."

"I did? But… why can't I remember?"

"It was a miracle, really. One day, you wake up with new energy and mind. You smile like you won some lottery, and your movement was like that you overjoyed for something. When the doctor checked your condition, we all found out… you had slight amnesia."

Kaylee was silent hearing this. At first, she wanted to find out the truth about the strange dream she had seen lately. She wanted to know if it was real that she had a sister or what she saw was just an ordinary dream.

But she didn't expect it to end up with an unexpected reality that she never knew about.

"I have amnesia?"

"Yes. Everything that made you sad and hurt has disappeared from your mind. You don't remember who Roxy was or what we had been through with her over the years. You're back to how you used to be. A cheerful yet shy girl who had no burden."

"Did… did my parents…."

"Of course they knew. They even asked me to help them to accompany you here. Living in a new environment and forgetting about the painful past is good for your health, so we moved here. In New York."

"We didn't live in New York before?"

"No." Wendy shook her head. "We lived in Folkland Island."

Kaylee was too shocked to say anything. All this time, she thought she had lived in New York since she was born into this world. She also believed that Wendy and Nick and the rest of the Larson family lived in New York like her.

Who would have thought that… they… they all moved to New York to help her recover??

"When… When did this happen? When did I have amnesia?"

"When you're seventeen. Around eight years ago."

That's why Kaylee doesn't really remember her school friends. She did remember she was an introverted girl, but strange enough, she only remembered Wendy and Nick's faces.

"Kaylee," called Wendy while hugging her best friend. "Please, don't overthink about it. I do hope that someday your memories will return, but I prefer to see you like now." was her honest pray.

Wendy was genuinely thought Kaylee was happier in these past eight years. Nothing frightened her. No one would blame her for Roxy's death. The most important thing was Kaylee wouldn't have believed she had to kill herself to atone for her sin.

Roxy's death had nothing to do with Kaylee, but everyone blamed her and outcasted her. Kaylee blamed herself and became depressed to the point her life turned upside down.

She locked herself while crying for nights, and she refused to eat or meet with everyone.

It was heart-breaking to see her dear friend like that.

"Kaylee, remember this. I will always be on your side whether you regain your memories or not. I wished nothing but for your happiness." Wendy tightened her embrace as if she was a mother who wanted to give mental support to her daughter.

For a moment, Kaylee felt comfortable and as if something suddenly came into her mind, clearing up everything that was bothering her. Little by little, the image of her chatting with Roxy was erased from her mind.

Kaylee felt that all this conversation with Wendy and a girl she thought was her sister was just a dream. She couldn't even remember the girl's name now.

Her eyelids felt heavy, and not long after, she fell asleep again.

"Kaylee?" Wendy felt Kaylee's body suddenly feel heavy, making her loosen her hug.

When she unfolded her arms and let Kaylee fall, leaning more and more against her body, then she realized Kaylee fell asleep.

"Who am I talking to? With you or your other side? Why did you fall asleep right away?"

Wendy was not strong enough to lift Kaylee to her room. She had no other choice but to let Kaylee sleep on her lap while waiting for her brother to come home from campus.

Luckily, Nick came home a few minutes later and opened the door while humming merrily.

"Oh, pretty girl. What do I do to make you love me? I've been craving your touch, your sweet lips, your… Woah!!" Nick stopped singing once he noticed Kaylee fell asleep on her sister's lap. "Why is she sleeping here? And why is her bag here?" Nick saw the pink travel bag near the table next to his sister.

"She's going to stay in our house for a few days."

"Seriously?" Nick did not hide his enthusiasm at this unexpected announcement.

"Don't try to hit on your sister."

"Aw... But only Kaylee is very responsive to my flirtatious." Nick giggled like an overexcited kid when he saw the gaze from his sister.

If Wendy were to be next to him, his sister would certainly twist his ears or pinch his cheeks like cookie dough. Now Wendy couldn't move because she doesn't want to wake the sleeping Kaylee. Nick wouldn't miss this opportunity to be naughty.

"Help me to bring her in her room!" Wendy rolled her eyes lazily at her brother's mischievousness.

"Aren't you afraid I will kiss her on her sleep?"

"Aren't you afraid with Mister Black's wrath?"

"He would never know." refuted Nick while playing his eyebrows, teasing his frustrated sister.

"Nick! Come here, or I swear I would burn all your collection!"

"I already hid my collections." Nick declared his announcement in pride.

"Are you sure?" Wendy reached into her pocket and grabbed a key making Nick stare wide.

"You... When did you get it?"

Wendy flashed a toothy grin and curled her finger as if beckoning her brother to do what she asked.

"What a nasty sister you are!" nevertheless, Nick came forward and slightly bent to lifted Kaylee gently.

"What a disobedient brother you are!" retorted Wendy while pinching her brother's cheek.

"Ouw... ouw... You will wake her up!"

Wendy slapped her brother's shoulder playfully and let Nick gently put the sleeping beauty on her bed.
