chapter 3

I suddenly felt rays of sun warming up my face , i just didn't want to open my eyes , i took in the feel of the warm rays and the calm atmosphere that's surrounding me , but then i remembered ! , I have a lecture in ,i checked the alarm next to me and panicked , i have only thirty minutes to get dressed , have breakfast and go to uni ! , I quickly got off the bed , took a quick shower , got dressed and got out of my room , i ran through the stairs while trying to put my stuff in my pack back quickly , but was soon stopped when i smelt something amazing from the kitchen , once i entered i was shocked by what i saw , there on my table a full mouth watering breakfast and i had less than 15 minutes to get to uni , i was tempted , really tempted , i knew sarah made it as thank you , she usually did that , i wonder if she remembered what i like , or just did the first thing that came to her mind , because she DID all of my favorites , i took few bites from the breakfast and saw a note , i picked it up , unfolded it and read it .

Dear stranger

I don't know your name or why did you help me last night , i don't know why i felt i should trust you and stay over your house , i don't want why i felt like i have been here before and all this looks familiar even the pyjamas , i also don't know how i knew where every thing is in the kitchen , but i hope that you like the breakfast and that i have made it up to you somehow , i hope we could start over , i know you knew my parents , i would like if we went for coffee someday and you would tell how did they die .

That got a frown out of me , dear stranger ? , She really doesn't remember anything , but how is that possible ? , Could someone delet a person out of his memory ? , Like I don't like you so I'll forget all about you ? .

I decided that i am going to find out what is wrong with her but first i need to go to uni asap , i ran to the door , hauled a cap and got there just in time , the lectures went on and on , i concentrated on most of them but my mind wanders to Sarah from time to time , i didn't see her at her House when i got out , and I didn't have time to check , i Wonder if she still had her old phone number and if she did , would she still have mine ? , There so many questions i want to ask her but i am not sure how , i need to consult a doctor first and see what is he going to say , and i knew just the guy .

Once i was finished with my lectures for today , i called doctor Fred , Sarah's family doctor and asked if he was available for a quick visit , and i was glad when he said yes .

The drive there on the bus didn't take long and i kept on organizing my thoughts to know where to begin , and i came up with the decision that i would start with last night when sarah showed up at her house un aware of her parent's death .

As i entered the private clinic of doctor Fred i was met with an easy-going secretary , she told me to wait for a minute while she informs doctor Fred of my presence , once it was confirmed that i have an appointment she let me in .

Dr Fred was standing at the far corner of his desk , looking through the window , when he senses my presence , he turns around with a warm smile , which puts me off immediately , there was something suspicious going on with the way he was looking at me .

" Please have a seat emily "

I thanked him and sat down on one of the chairs infront of his desk .

" I am sorry i came in a very short notice , but i wanted to ask you about Sarah , if you know anything about her " I didn't feel comfortable telling him what happened last night .

" Sarah ? , Oh Emily , didn't you know ? " I got scared for a moment , didn't i know what ? , He must have taken my silence for a no cause what he said next made me so shocked .

" Sarah died a year ago , she got very ill and they weren't able to save her " i kept blinking my eyes , Sarah ? Dead ? , But i saw her yesterday , she slept in my spare room , wore my pyjamas , wrote me a note and made me breakfast , how can all this be made up ! , It can't be ! , She cried in my arms last night for God's sake !

I don't know what came over me but i just stood still shocked , nodded at the doctor and left ignoring his calls after me , but something told me not to stay there any longer .

Once i got out of the clinic i inhaled deeply , i kept walking not knowing where am i going , just thinking of what the doctor said , how could she be dead ? , I can't have imagined all that ! .
