Lost

Chapter 17

Kat's POV

.

 When I wake up I realize that I slept 10 hours. I feel so well, I haven't slept so well in months.

I get up and go downstairs and I find Nicole in the kitchen.

"Good morning." I say.

"Good morning Kat." She says with a smile.

Oh, what is happening with her?

I smile to her.

"Anything new?" I ask.

"School will be closed for 3 days." She answers me.

"Okay." I answer.

I go to the fridge and grab an yogurt.

"My mum just went to the grocery, when she is back she will make lunch. She took these days off to be with us." Nicole says to me.

Usually I have to get on my knees to get an answer for her and she barely speaks with me, and today she is talking and I didn't ask anything. 

This is not normal, but honestly I don't mind, I prefer Nicole this way. 

I just find out strange she being so nice.

"Okay, I think I am going to take a shower." I reply to her.

I make my way to get out of the kitchen, but Nicole calls me and I stop at the door. I turn back to face her.

"Yes?" I ask her.

"How are you feeling Kat?" Nicole asks me.

I can't believe she is asking me this, Nicole is being really nice. And I realize why, she is probably being nice because what happened yesterday, she was probably scared to death. And experiences like these make people change their attitude, I hope she stays like these for a long time.

Honestly if she didn't bring up the shooting I wouldn't think about it. I was scared to death but somehow I forgot what happened. Actually it's not the first time that this happens to me, when I was a child I had a car accident with my parents, I was at the hospital some days but somehow I forgot everything. For years I didn't remember the accident, I didn't know about the accident, my brain blacked out completely. And I only know about the accident because a few months ago I started to have nightmares with it and when I talked about that with my mom she explained everything. Apparently it was an experience so traumatic that my brain repressed it and didn't let me remember about it. But I remembered everything a few months ago, after James and the incident I started to have those nightmares and then one day I remembered everything. Every single detail of the accident.

I guess this time this is what is happening, I can barely remember what happened. It was a really traumatic experience. I try to think but I don't remember some details. Maybe my brain is trying to pull everything together. To be honest, I don't want to forget what happened, I don't like the idea of forgetting some moments of my life.

I look at Nicole and she is looking at me. Oh right she asked me a question.

"I am fine and you?" I ask her.

"I'm scared." She answers and I can see fear in her eyes.

I walk towards her.

"Don't worry, everything will be okay." I say to her.

"What if it happens again?" She asks and I can see that she is almost crying.

"It won't, I promise." I say and give her a little smile.
