Chapter 16

Cole We drove our bikes in tandem, the hum of the engines vibrating in my stomach. At least, that was what I was telling myself. There was no way I would admit that I was nervous about taking Harley to meet Emily, that was just too "girlfriend scenario" for me. "Do you think she'll like me?" Harley had asked before we left, and I'd merely said "of course!" Inside I was worried that it wouldn't be the case. We'd made the decision to go to the orphanage, hoping that it would trigger some sort of memory for her. Jay wasn't on board - we had to fill him in of course. He thought that the past should stay in the past, and if it were anyone else I would probably agree. But it wasn't just anyone else

Chapter 17

HarleyYou know those cheesey romantic movies where the young couple get caught in the rain and end up making passionate love? Well, this felt like that. One moment I was standing by the window of the small room, looking out at the rain soaked landscape below and feeling waves of sadness. I was meant to know this place. It was meant to be familiar. And yet it wasn't. I started to worry that my memory would never return. Even though Cole had filled me in on as much as he could, the knowledge that my life will always be in danger because of an ability I didn't even know I had was discomforting. Cole had explained that we would be in danger - all four of us "SAWS Project" kids - until all of the research is destroyed and the military are given a reason to leave us alone. "We're stronger together," Cole had explained to Jay and myself as we had sat around the kitchen table, late last night. "That's why I have been searching for the others - I would never be able to face them alone."I

Chapter 18

ColeWe lay there together for a while, watching the rain beat against the windowpane. A gentle sound which soothed me, and seemed to stop the flurry of thoughts which threatened to bombard my mind. We'd just had sex. No - rephrase - Harley and I had just made love. Sex was just a physical act, but with Harley I felt as if my soul was reaching out for hers. It was a strange feeling, but it felt right. "So, do we talk about what just happened?" Harley asked after a while, turning in my arms to face me. Why do women always want to talk? "Yeah, I guess so," I responded, not entirely sure where she was wanting to go with this "talk". She lifted her hand and trailed my jaw with her fingertips, a slight smile playing on her lips. It was obvious that she wasn't displeased by what had happened, so at least there was that. "I'm sorry I launched myself on you," she blushed slightly before she continued. "But I have no regrets." I smiled at her before I kissed her gently. "I have no regr

Chapter 19

HarleyJay was drunk. I could tell by the way he answered the phone, the slight slurr of his words as he told me to "just stay safe" and that he'd see me the next day. I guess his five year sobriety chip was well and truly down the toilet. I plonked down in Emily's high backed office chair and rested my head in my hands, struggling to keep myself together. Too much was happening at once, too many life changes. I'd come to learn that I sucked when it came to processing and handling change - and the person I usually would have gone to to discuss all this stuff was drowning his own chaos in a bottle of spirits. I guessed I could have called Tanner, but Tanner would want to help me by getting involved and that could only ever end in disaster. He was too impulsive and would definitely land me in some sort of trouble.I sighed and stared at the hideous doll on Emily's desk, it's large vacant eyes mocking me. "If only you knew half of the shit I've been through in the last few days, maybe
