Chapter 9

Today Miles is taking me to my school. Apparently, this is where I've been spending all my time the last few years, so I'm slightly nervous to see it and what memories, if any, come back.

Our first stop is my apartment, where we're going to meet with my roommate. We’re hoping to get information on places I might have visited and things that I might have done, so we can try to trigger my memory.

The apartment is small, just a two-bedroom with a small open common space, but it's clean and well decorated. Miles said he talked to my roommate and asked her to box up all the stuff in my room, so we won't be here too long. Yet when we get there, my roommate, whose name I've learned is Lila, is acting really weird. Though I try not to read too much into it, as I've learned that when you tell people that you have amnesia and don't remember them, they all act strange.

On the way there, Miles also informed me that he paid for the rent through the rest of the year so that Lila wouldn't be stuck without a roommate since I was leaving so abruptly. I wanted to protest and tell him he didn't have to do that, but what other option do I have?

It's not like I can go back to school and back to my job, and pick up where I left off and keep helping her pay rent. I don't want to be a bad person and leave her stuck, either. Even though I promised to pay him back every penny, he just blew it off, saying that he's here to take care of me and for me not to worry about it.

My dad used to take care of me like this, no questions asked. Whatever I needed he just seemed to know and took care of it like Miles does. I'm not sure how I know that, but that's a feeling that I've gotten that's slowly come back to me. While it's not really a memory of such, just something that I know without a shadow of a doubt. I don't know how to explain it, not even to Miles.

Lila sits down with us and explains my school schedule and what a typical week would look like. Apparently, we were somewhat close and would go out and do things together, but not close enough for her to try to get in contact with me when I didn't show up right away after spring break. I know Miles picks up on it and gets irritated, if his clenching jaw means anything.

"I knew you were going down to visit your stepmom,” Lila says. "I figured you decided to stay later and help her out, or maybe you guys were reconciling things. Your dad had always wanted you to be closer." Lila really isn't much help, other than finding a copy of my schedule for this semester.

Next, we go into my room and looking around, nothing looks familiar.
