Chapter 1

* * * *

It's ok, I can do this. Its just a stage in front of a whole lot of people who expect me to be good at singing!! I take a breath and look down at my dress that i'm performing in for tonights grand opening of the new 'karaoke and music' store. It's a soft yellow coloured chiffon dress with a sweetheart neckline. I look up to see a crew member standing before me ready with a microphone. She hands me the mic and I mentally prepare myself to go out on stage. I rock back and forth on my shiny black stilettos ready to go on stage and waiting for my cue.

"Your on!" I hear one of the crew members shout out to me I nod talking in a breath and start making my way over to the small staircase. Once I reach the stairs the MC is shining a bright smile towards the crowd and starts walking my way. He gets to the end of the staircase where I am and he winks saying 'good luck'

"thanks" I murmur

'here goes nothing' I tell myself. I slowly make my way up the stairs and get to the top platform; behind a curtain. The crew member to my left nods and thats my cue to walk out onto the stage. As soon as I make it to the middle of the stage the crowd has erupted into claps and cheers, I smile brightly waving to those in the crowd.

The intro to my song starts and I prepare for the first line of verse one...

I lift the microphone up, to a sensible distance away from my mouth and set my facial expressions onto all emotions and start to sing...

"Summer comes, winter fades Here we are, just the same.

Don't need pressure don't need change, lets not give the game away...

There used to be an empty space, a photograph without a face.

But with your presence and your grace, everything falls into place..."

I slowly raise my right hand and grab the mic out of the left while still singing. I reach my arm out halfway above my head to go with the chorus.

"Just please don't say you love me, cause I might not say it back. Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when, you look at me like that.

There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at, just please don't say you love me, cause I might not say it back..." and I sing the rest of the song while the crowd watches mesmerized. As I slowly fade the last words the crowd starts to clap, cheer and whistle. I smile as bright as the sun and give a small curtsey; walking off the stage.

I turn a small corner to return my microphone; though its a little dark I still stop in front of the cupboards, I feel a presence behind me and a harsh yank to my hair, a hand is slapped across my face preventing my screams.

'oh no...' my heart leaps in exasperation as I try to scream and free myself from this death grip, I get knocked against the wall behind me my head slamming and pain surging through-ought my whole upper body. I gather all the strength inside of me and knee the attacker as hard as I can, they fall to the ground and my rapid breathing starts to calm down but when I feel a hand lightly grip my wrist I react straight away and swing my wrist around the air, my heart rate increasing rapidly...

* * * *

I wake with a startle my head flying upward; my breathing rapid and light. I look around again to realize I'm still here in the hospital. Safe. I'm not being attacked, batted and bruised...well except for the bruise the IV needle's gonna leave.

Ha! get it trying I'm to crack a joke when i'm extremely paranoid...Ha.Ha

I gently lay my head back down and thats when I realize there's something-or rather-someone holding onto my wrist with their thumb pressed on the outside and two fingers pressed on the inside. I look over to my right to see this person. Its a lady, a nurse standing there; staring over in the direction of where they keep an eye on my heart rate.

She looks down at me smiling slightly. "How are you feeling honey?" she lets go of my wrist and places her hand on my forehead leaving it there for a number of seconds. "You don't have a fever, so that's good and your heart rate had a bit of speed to it. Did you have a bad dream or something?" The nurse asks, concern filling her voice.

I let a small smile fall to my lips "yeah I did, I guess." The nurse smiles a genuine smile "I'm Casey by the way" she introduces herself.

"Hi Casey" I say politely, "Can I ask something?" I ask; really wanting to know of whats going on...Why am I here?

"Sure sweetie" she urges me to continue with my question

"Um, can you please tell me whats going on...?, Like why am I lying here in this hospital bed, with and IV stuck inside my wrist, and no memory or clue as to why I'm here...?"
