Without Them... (Sequel to Long Lost Sister)

Eaves Dropping

~~~Emily's POV~~~
As I reluctantly opened my eyes, I heard some noise coming from downstairs. Doubting that Felix could be causing all those footsteps, I rubbed my eyes and sat up, encouraging myself to get up and see what was going on.

Suddenly, I heard voices that were serious and sort of quietly spoken. Out of curiosity, I snuck to my door and creaked it open to see Felix and two other people walking down the stairs. They sort of looked like.... wait..... no, it couldn't be.

Waiting till they all turned the corner, I snuck out of my room and peered down the stair well. Once deciding that the coast was clear, I began slowly inching myself down the stairs to a spot where I could see them, but they couldn't seem me due to the dark lighting. I then made myself comfortable as I watched Felix sit down facing me, and these two alleged strangers sitting towards Felix. Then, I did all that I really good do, listen and pray to God that no one would see me.

"Well, this past month has been well-uhhh- difficult for us"

I immediately knew. These were no strangers, that was Anthony and Ian! I froze in both fear and shock not knowing what to do. One thing that I did know for sure though, is that I wanted to know what the heck they were talking about. Could they be referencing me? I haven't talked to them in over a month so they couldn't be.... could they?

"What do you mean? Are you guys alright?"

"Yeah-I mean, I guess. It's just hard to talk about it I guess."

"I'm sorry, I won't interrupt anymore. You go ahead and take your time." Felix said with a concerned look on his face. He's so caring.

I couldn't really see Anthony's face, so it was hard to tell how he looked or how he was feeling, I only had to go from his voice.

"Well, about a month ago, Ian and I were driving over to film a Smosh game bang video and on the way there, there was an accident and uh-" Anthony seemed like he was trying to force the words out of his mouth because they were so difficult to say. I was focusing all of my concentration on him so I would be lying if I didn't say I jumped a bit when Ian interjected.

"We got T-boned and flipped off the freeway and we both lost our memory for the past six years." Ian said in a slightly annoyed tone. I assumed it was because Anthony really took advantage of Felix telling him to take his time. Not that I blame him for taking his time that sounds awful and- wait. I've known them for a little under six years. Do they remember me?

"Oh my god that's horrible are you two okay? Like how do you both have that severe of brain damage and I can barely see too much of a scratch on either one of you?" Felix replied in disbelief and confusion.

"And how did you two both get the exact same memory loss? I just don't understand is this some sort of joke or something? I'm sorry I just have so many questions. This just doesn't seem realistic to me." Felix added progressively becoming more and more confused after asking each and every single question.

Ian now looked down and shook his head.

"I told you that we shouldn't tell anyone. If we don't even believe ourselves than how can we possibly expect someone else to." Ian not-so-quietly mumbled to Anthony.

What does he mean by that? All these questions are whirling around my head. What does he mean by ' If we don't even believe ourselves than how can we possibly expect someone else to.' But most importantly, do they not remember me? I mean, there's only one real way to find out. I take a few deep slow breathes to try and make sure that I won't second guess myself before I'm to late.

"What do you mean if you don't believe yourselves? Did that not actually happen?" Felix sounded like he wanted an answer more urgently than he was getting them. To be fair, I felt the exact same way. But I knew how to get answers sooner.

I stood up, and began nonchalently walking down the stairs. Everyones heads turned. Felix jumped up, most likely wanting to avoid the serious conversation while I was present so Ian and Anthony would make a good 'first impression' on me. Oh well for that.

~~~Author's Note~~~

I just noticed today that this series has over 1.5k reads and that's actually kinda crazy to me that people read so much of a crap story lol. I mean thanks but I'm also sorry? I think I might be leaving this story to just be really cringey and adapt it more in Family. Once again, that's a new book I'm writing that's an adaptation of this story with more plot with less holes and that just makes more sense altogether. So if you are looking for a more quality of writing, go there. However, if you are looking for an awful story to just laugh at for the tea and horrible writing, then read on. Hopefully I can make the rest of this story less painful for you. Good Luck. And I didn't say this last chapter but I still enjoy the whole idea of staying ripe. So stay ripe my bananas, never peel. <3
