Chapter Fourteen

                                    

                                          
It's been almost six days that Hannah had been with us. She had adjusted to us a lot more well since she still had no memory of what happened. The only thing was that she woke up with nightmares and I had to go calm her down some days which made Steven mad.
"Hey Hannah. Wanna follow me shopping?" I asked as I carried the grocery bag. She was watching a movie. I don't really know the name but it looked fun.
"Uh.... I'm not so sure." She said
"Oh come on. You've been indoors ever since we came back from the hospital in Canada." I said sadly. She had been in the house. From her room to kitchen then back to her room.
"I'm scared." She said
"Oh. I understand. Come." I said as she got up and I hugged her.
"Thanks." She said.
"Come let's go shopping. I'll be with you." I said smiling. 
"Okay." She agreed thank God. We went out and it looked as if she had never seen daylight. She squeaked her eyes like a new born baby seeing the light.
"It's so bright." She said as she laughed.
"Yeah. It's summer." I said as I laughed too. She got in the car and I got in also and I drove off.
We didn't talk much in the car except for her asking about lots of things--- like how I found her, how bad it was, how long she was hospitalized. It was all a lot but the one that surprised me was when she said a name 'Doug'. It means she was making improvement remembering a name.
"Try this on." I said to her showing her a mini-gown. It would look nice on her.
"Nahh. It looks to fancy." She said shaking her head.
"Come on. I'm pretty sure you had a rich family." I said with a cry baby face.
"You can't be so sure I was rich. What if I was poor or homeless or something worse 'an orphan'." She said but I shook away the idea. She couldn't possibly be an orphan.
"You couldn't have been an orphan." I said but she doubted me.
"What if I was trying to drown myself when you found me or someone tried to kill me. You don't know anything about me and neither do I. That's what hurt." She said as she frowned.
"I'm sorry." I said to her and put the mini-gown back into the rack. I reached for my pocket and brought out a locket. "Here. It was on you when we saw you." I said handing her the locket. It was small and the picture on it was not so clear. Am sure it was her mom or aunt or someone close to her.
"Who's she? She's pretty." She said looking deeply into it.
"I don't know. But am guessing your mum." I said smiling.
"My mum." She said feeling hurt. "I hate this. Looking at my mum and not recognizing her. It hurts so much." She busted out in tears and I ran to hug her. That was the reason I kept it from her. I knew it would break her up.
"Come on. Let's go back home. We can shop another time." I suggested as I helped her back to the car.

Tasha POV
                          
When I found out Allie was missing I had to cut our Florida trip short and decided to go pay a visit to her parents. That was about a week after the accident.
I got to their door and knocked. It opened almost immediately.
"Hi Khloe." I said as I entered. I saw Mr Whitmore sitting down drinking a coffee. Another man probably his dad eating quietly. It was a typical mourning family.
"I'm sorry Mr Whitmore." I said as I sat down.
"Tasha. What happened to Florida?" He asked with a fake smile.
"Florida can wait. Allison can't." I said and smiled hoping it would help.
Few minutes later Josh showed up. What was he doing here?
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Florida?" He asked me also.
"I came back few hours ago." I said.
"Oh." He said.
"Josh comes here everyday." Mr Whitmore said.
Wow everyday now that made me a bit jealous. How could I be jealous at this point when she's missing. I could be a real devil sometime.
"Any news?" Josh asked
"No. Nothing." Mr Whitmore said as he signed.
After lots of minutes, I decided to go home. Josh offered to drop me off and Rex called him.
"Oh hey Rex...... No....... Nothing yet........ Yeah..... no  problem." Josh said. I supposed Rex was also asking about Allison.
"You know Allie was coming to see me before the accident." I said sadly.
"It's not your fault." Josh said
"I know. It's just I wonder why she sounded so mad on the phone?" I asked rhetorically.
"Maybe a fight at home. Probably why she lost control. The cops said she was overspeeding." Josh said and I signed also. I really hoped we found her soon before school resumed. It was only two weeks away for school to resume. I'd hate to resume school without my best friend.
