Julian Taylor had ditched me more times than I could count for his childhood sweetheart. Now, at our own engagement party, a single phone call from her was all it took for him to try and bail on me… again.

 

For the first time ever, I grabbed his hand and begged, "Can we just stay? Can't we wait until the ceremony is over?"

 

Outside, the room was packed with our friends and family, all just waiting for us to take the stage.

Julian looked sharp in his high-end, pressed suit, looking every bit the handsome groom. But there wasn't a shred of excitement on his face.

His brows were knit together, completely consumed by worry for someone else.

 

Julian impatiently ripped off his tie. "Honey, Shara is sick. I have to go check on her. You know how fragile her health is."

 

Poor health. It was always her poor health.

Shara could jump, dance, and eat just fine, so why was she always "unwell" whenever he needed an excuse?

It was a pathetic lie, but Julian was beyond reasoning.

 

I held onto him, stubborn and desperate, but how do you keep someone who's already halfway out the door?

 

"Honey, be good. I'll make it up to you later."

 

He shook my hand off and walked away without looking back. He used the same old line to pacify me, just like he always did. But he didn't realize the truth.

 

We didn't have a future. I had lost my memory.

 

At this very party, while trying to chase down the man who was running out on our engagement, I was hit by a speeding car.

Now, I remember everyone else in my life.

 

Only he was forgotten.

Chapter 1
When I finally came to my senses, I was lying in a hospital bed, wrapped up like a mummy. The doctor told me I had multiple abrasions, but thankfully, nothing was broken. My parents were beside themselves, their eyes red and puffy from crying. "That Julian is absolutely outrageous. How could he just run away like that?" My dad fumed. "He has zero sense of responsibility." "We ended up causing all this trouble for our Claire for no reason," my mom sobbed. "Luckily, nothing serious happened. If it had, we wouldn't have let him off the hook." I stared up, confused, at the snow-white ceiling. 'Julian? Who is that?' Before I could wrap my head around it, more people filed into the room: our family friends, Uncle George and Aunt Lynn. When Aunt Lynn saw me, tears began streaming down her face immediately. "Claire, I'm so sorry," she wailed. "It's all because I didn't raise my son right. I never should have let Julian act so recklessly that he'd walk out on your wedding." Uncle George reached over and grabbed my hand. "Claire, don't you worry. When I get back, I'm going to deal with Julian and make sure he makes this right for you." Julian. It was that name again. Everyone kept insisting that Julian was the reason I was lying here, broken and beaten. But who the hell was he? Why was there absolutely nothing in my head when I heard his name? Seeing me sitting there in a daze, my parents started to panic. They kept hovering, asking if I was in pain, if I was hungry, or if I felt uncomfortable anywhere. Watching them, Aunt Lynn and the others started cursing Julian all over again. I finally looked at Aunt Lynn, who was mid-rant, and cut in. "Aunt Lynn, this Julian you keep talking about… who exactly is he?" The room went dead silent. Everyone looked completely shocked, and my mom was so terrified she scrambled to call the doctor back in for an emergency brain scan. The final diagnosis was simple: I had temporary amnesia caused by a head injury from the car accident. I just blinked, processing the news. Amnesia? If I really had amnesia, why could I remember everyone else perfectly fine? Why was he the only one erased from my mind? I think I know why. He probably just doesn't matter.
