THE LOST SHE

WHEN PAST MEETS PRESENT

I'm not waiting for a hero. I saved myself long ago. I don't need someone to complete me. I am whole alone. I just want a weirdo to go on adventures with Someone who will dance with me, kiss me when I least expect it and make me laugh.– Brooke Hampton.

'no , no please don't .I want to go back to daddy'

'shut up,lets see what your daddy can do for his little girl' the man shouted ,his face blurred 

'i want my mom' he slapped me .'i told u shutup  b***h' he shouted again .

I woke up sweating ,this dream has been haunting me for years now.Its all just a blurred memory ,I can't even remember anything .That man,the boy lying there and that hedious place.The past which is somewhere stuck in my memory.I still remember it was before , I used to wake up screaming ,shouting ,crying.Nate,Cameron and Ethan used to be so scared and worried for me .My nightmares even got worse after my mothers death.

I picked up my phone to check time , it flashed 12:30am, everyones probably asleep by now.I saw a sticky note near my phone                                                                                                                       

'I completed your room today.I wanted to show u personally and see your reaction but you looked so peaceful while sleeping ,I didn't feel like waking you up. See you in the morning .           

 Love, your favourite brother Nate.

I smiled reading the note.I didnt even realize that Ethan wasnt next to me .Since we shifted here , Ethan and I have been sharing the room because my elder brother wanted me to have a special room like mom always wanted me to have.All i knew till now was that theres a dance studio attach to my room.Mom always said when I grow up , she will personally design my room with dance studio because I loved dancing.Dancing and fighting are my ways to fight those nightmares .Dancing makes me feel free and happy while fighting makes me feel strong .Never in my life , I want to be weak again.

Sighing i lay in bed ,admiring the beauty of my room.I'm gonna explore it with Nate tomorrow, as it was his hardwork afterall.The room colors were my favourite , beige , teal and black hints.    My phone starts buzzing ,i wasn't sure who was calling me at late night.I checked the caller and it turns out to be Eric,I had  completely forgotten about him.Shit. I picked up the call 

"Where have you been?You haven't called me since you left."Eric said sounding pissed.  

"Hi,Eric . I'm perfectly fine. How are u doing ?"I said trying to sound less guilty.

"Amelia knight, you better have good explanation for not calling me "he literally screamed , I had to remove my phone from ears .

"I know, its my fault.I'm so sorry.Its just this is all just too much to take in here ."I replied feeling guilty of not calling him.

I heard him Sigh."Hey , its fine . I get it ,it must be so hard for you there .It's just nothings same without you and I really miss my bestfriend."

"I miss you too Eric" i actually missed him a lot .After my brothers if theres anyone i really trust or who knows me well its him.

"No more sloppy dialogues now" he said making me laugh , he was the one who started it in the first place.

"So ,John and I went to the tracks today.Nothing is the same Ams.Everyone miss you a lot."he said seriously.

Hearing tracks, it got my full attention "Who won today ?"I asked 

"Derek" he replied. He has been second for so long .I used to defeat him easily.

"Lucky for him"I said , missing my friends , the adrenaline rush and the feeling of wind flowing through my hair.You must be lost ,the Tracks he is refering to are street bike riding.Which not to mention they are illegals ,thats exactly the more adventurous part of it.Eric was the one ,who introduced Ethan and I to tracks and street fighting.Whenever I couldn't sleep or nightmares haunted they were my escape.

"Earth to Amelia.What were you doing ?"he asked .

"I was asleep, but its been half and hour since i woke up"  I said checking the time.

"You got them again ?"he said sounding worried about my nightmares.

"Yeah , I just can't" too tired to fight the battle which I can't win.Nightmares are like the daily companions of mine now.

"I know a guy , who handles the tracks in Cali"

"Really?" I almost screamed 

"I'm texting you the address and his picture and  his name is Johnathan."He said ,while a getting the message on my phone.

"You are the best Eric." I said happily to him.

"I Know .I was just hoping , u don't need it there . But seems like u do .Have fun , kick some ass there and I'll talk to Johnathan informing him about you "

"Okayy. Byee.Love you "

"Love you too Ams ,stay safe and take care "I ended the call.Finally i was feeling like my old self.My bike was already shipped here,even before we reached here my beauty was present here.I rushed to the washroom, almost tripping on the way.

Washing my face. ,I realized my clothes and toiletries are in Ethan's room.Thats mean I need to get my gear without waking him up.Thats going to be a difficult task considering he is very light sleeper.Having no options left , I opened the door started tip-toeing to his room,being very careful while ascending the stairs.My room was on the fourth floor and all my brothers room were on third floor .Yups u guessed it right, i have a freaking mansion for my home.This house was the one Mom & Dad first bought.Reaching his room , quietly opening his door, tip toeing till the walking closet

"You dont have to tip toe.I'm awake Ams" He said turning the light on and giving me a freaking heat attack.

"What the hell Ethan, you almost gave me heart attack.Why are your lights off when u aren't sleeping?" Siting on his bed expecting an answer but all I get is a shrug.

I stood up seeing him lost in thought, and went to closet to take my clothes and other necessary supplies.

"Eric called you?"he said coming behind me , giving me mini heart attack again.

"Stop doing this"i said angrily

"Why do u need a leather jacket at this time"he asked having puzzled expressions.

"Yes, Eric called me.We spoke for half n hour"I replied taking all the necessary items.

"He told you ,didnt he?"he questioned again and i simply shurgged.This was expected considering Eric and Ethan are also bestfriends,infact they were friends way before me and Eric were.Ethan had saved Eric from bullying in school and since then they have been inseparable.Eric has a such a sweet personality that he just grows up on you.We became even closer when one night i was had the nightmare and he was hanging night out at our place.He then introduced me to the tracks.Everyone thought of him as a nerd but in tracks he is completely different.

"I'm coming with you .No arguments"Ethan said leaving no room for objections.

"See you in 10"taking my supplies I walked out .

I quickly changed in white tank top with leather jacket and black leggings and my leather boots .Next I put my blond hair wig and carefully placed it on my hair ,hiding my original hair.Since day one , I was always use this look .Applied little foundation and lip balm .Looking satisfied with my look grabbed my wallet ,phone and my safety gear and went down.Ethan was already waiting for me by the stairs.

"Lets go"i said shaking him out of his trance .

We went to the garage,grabbing my keys .I went to my beauty BMW F850GS, cleaning it of any dust present.

"I'm riding with you "Ethan said .This has been our way,he knows Eric and I used to go to tracks .He always came with us , to cheer us and make a fortunte.I have been wining the tracks for long time now .

"Okay"i handed him his helmet and wore mine.

"Put the GPS"i told him and started the engine.The destination wasn't that far it was hardly 30 mins drives from our place.Once we reached there  you could here the loud music and chatter all along.It wasnt that crowded but still enough to light up the place.

'All the participants come and register at the front gate' we heard the announcement.

"You go register ,i'll buy some drinks and meet you there"Ethan said walking towards the drinks counter.

I reached the front gate,there were around 5-6 people standing there.Avery collins I said to the man siting behind the desk."Can i have your Id proof?"the man said . Handing in my fake Id which Eric and I prepared long back . We never give our real names or appreances.That's  the first rule of tracks.

"Looks like we have girl in the competition" came a nasty voice from behind.I ignored the comment , didnt wanted to get into any arguments our fights.

"She is going to loose by him and then go crying to here mother.Why do girls even come here , when all they know is to cry".

"If you want to win a fortune today, bet on me "I said and winked at the boy standing next to the desk ,took the form and went to meet Ethan.I was fuming from inside.Why do men think girls are weak and can't do anything . I wanted to slap that person , but I guess proving him is much better.Lets see whose 'him' .

"It looks like you are going to hit someone"Ethan said while sipping on his Redbull.I took the can and took a sip from it.

'All the contestants ,come to the starting point' announcement was heard .

"All the best Avery.My bets on you.Make sure you win"eth said walking to the stands.Theres no way,I'm not loosing today especially when that A***ole needs to know not all girls are weak.

"You all know the rules,the first to come back here wins."Surface looked little rough but track was huge, this is going to be exciting.I wore my helmet and got ready.I looked around people , everyones attention was on us .

'1,2,3 and go'  

We all started the race ,I easily took over the two riders within two minutes followed by the reast.It was really easy for me ,my speed was not even 100 yet.The last person , was the one giving me tough competition.Suddenly the track became more rough, i switched to terrain mode and accelerated .Crossing the last person in next few seconds.I crossed the ribbon in the next moment and stood first.I removed my helmet and let my hair straight out , everyone seems shocked.

"Holy s**t , she just destroyed Aaron.This is big and I just made a fortune"I looked around for the owner of voice.He was the same guy who was at the counter, whom I asked to place bet on me.Wow he really did it.

"You actually made us some fortune here sis"Ethan said giving me side hug.

"Apparently only there were only 2 bets on you .One mine and the other who just shouted"He said chuckling.I just chuckled with him.

"Apparently , that guy was undefeated for a long time "he said while looking over there.

The guy was standing there with his friends ,when I looked up the two guys looked familiar.

"You were right, thank you so much .I just made a fortune."the guy from before came .

"Sorry , where are my manners.I'm Johnathan"He said, stretching his hand out for a shake.

"Hi,Amelia and this is Ethan my brother"I shook his hand.

"Eric was right about you"he said smiling.I just smiled back at him.

"The guy who was telling you all the nasty stuff placed his bets on Aaron for a long time now "He said so apparently Aaron was his guy.

"Ams,we got a problem "eth said interrupting our conversation.

"Thats Noah and Mason from school and they are coming this way"he said sounding worried.My identity was a secret.I quickly wore my helmet that's the only thing , that can protect my face.

"She is the mighty girl , who defeated you Aaron"Mason said hitting the Aaron guy on his shoulder.

"HI,Ethan.Didn't expect you here"Noah said doing the bro shake with Ethan.

"Oh, yeah .It was just random."he said trying to change the topic.

"Can I have your number?"Mason said.

"You looked so hot during the competition"he winked at me.

"No" Ethan shouted before I could reply.

"Ethan, u are here with her"Noah asked him ,looking skeptically at me.

"Yes,we should get going"He replied giving me hint that they are doubting about me.

I sat on my bike and started the engine, when a sweet voice interrupted me

"Hi,I am Aaron king."
