"You hate things bitter, you're very outgoing, you want something you get it. You're a big sleeper. You hate thunderstorms, you don't like cats, more of a dog person. You have one though" I perked up at the mention of having a dog?

"Orion!" I said excitedly. I paused and saw Alasdair pause too. I remembered my dog...I REMEMBERED MY DOG.

He loves a certain type dog food, Blue. He hated walking behind me always beside me or in front. OH and he loves when I pet him in between his eyes. Oh I loved my dóberman.

"I want to see him" then I realized, how long have I left him. "How...how long have I left my baby?" He smirked before going back to his stoic expression. "2 months, you left us alone 2 months" I froze . I was gone for 2 months only to come back with no memory, the only thing I could remember was a song and a dog.

"Don't worry about it baby, Da- I will take care of it, shall I bring him here?" I quickly responded with a yes. I sat on the couch waiting patiently as a slim boy with blonde hair came in with Orion. I bent down calling out to him. He wasted no time running to me.

"Oh my baby, to you I must've been gone for years, mommy's so so sorry" I said as I kissed his head and rubbed the place between his eyes. He's gotten so big already. I saw the collar he had on and it wasn't the one I left him with.

"Collar" I said to the slim boy. He looked at me confused "the collar he had before I left. Where is it?"

"Ummm" he hesitated thinking for a second. I looked over to Alasdair, he was leaned back in his chair looking amused. I smiled a bit not wanting to scare the boy. "The leash and the collar I had left him with where is it"

He looked as if he remembered something and quickly reached into a bag that was slung along his shoulder. "We couldn't loosen it so we just bought a new one." He stated. He pulled out a ziplock with the collar. I gently took it and asked him to wait. I readjusted the red collar and snapped it on with the leash putting the one he previously had on in the ziplock and handed it to the skinny blonde boy. I thanked him before he left.

While Alasdair was doing whatever on his desk I snuggled up with Orion petting his head slowly. It was getting boring and my legs were hurting from being in the same position for so long. "Can I go out?"

"No"

"Why?"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Then come with me"

Alasdair looked up from his computer at me. He then nodded and got up readjusting his tie in the process. He nodded his head to the door. I got up and took a hold of Orions chains before catching up to Alasdair who was already at the door. I walked out with a little more confident seeing as though I had Orion. We took the elevator back down and headed through the lobby.

Alastair had lead us to a little cafe down the block saying I loved the coffee there. I sat outside as instructed while Alasdair went to get coffee.

"RAYN" I flinched as my name was yelled. I looked at the direction the voice came from to see a tall dark skin man running towards me. He sat next to me on the bench and I inched away further, I don't know this man but he clearly knows me so I'll hear him out. Plus Orion seemed to like him as he let the man freely pet him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I blinked confused if what he was asking me. It mused of been written on my face because he proceeded to say "why didn't you call me when you woke up from the hospital."

I looked down feeling guilty about what I was going to say next. "Umm...I'm sorry-" I said softly. I looked back up "I don't know who you are" The man paused before laughing abruptly, his perfect teeth out on display. He looked back at me before his face molded into a shocked expression. "Wait you're serious?"

I nodded before sticking out my hand "I'm Rayn and you are?" He looked back at my hand then at me smiling softly before grasping my hand in his "Emerson"

"Occupation?" I questioned. "Fashion designer and your best friend since first grade"

Emerson- Elementary friend

Fashion designer

"Is my outfit nice?" I raised a brow at him questioningly. He chuckled before nodding.

"Emerson" I heard Alasdair. Emerson looked up before smiling at Alasdair "Damn man, you're scary as hell" Emerson chuckled out. I looked at Alasdair then back at Emerson

"I don't think he is" Emerson glanced at me before back at Alasdair before chuckling and shaking his head.

I felt something cold touch my cheek, flinching I turned around and saw a white and red drink in his hand. "Strawberry frappe" he simply said. I took the drink and thanked him before taking a sip. I looked up at Alasdair with my eyes wide. "It's really sweet" He nodded leaned against the wall next to the bench. "What'd you get"

"You wouldn't like it" be stated. I reached up and took his drink. It was a warm drink so I couldn't guess what it was. I took a sip and slowly swallowed as my face scrunched up. It was bitter and I didn't want to be wasteful spitting it out. I took a sip of my drink to wash away the bitterness of his.

I handed his drink back and shook me head "that is straight up just black coffee" he took his drink before saying I told you so.

"Emerson you can go to the house and keep her company Im going back to work" Alasdair said as he got off the wall giving a small wave before walking off.

Did he just hand me off? He did didn't he. Maybe I was annoying him, maybe he didn't want to deal with me. Am I that much of a burden to him?

"Hey lets go"

Emersons voice had snapped me out of my thought and I nodded gripping Orion's leash as Emerson had walked up to a parking garage.

After the drive we were currently sitting on the couch. "So tell me about myself"

Emerson looked amused before leaning on the arm of the couch and propping his sock covered feet on my legs. I leaned back tilting my head to look at him. "Hmmm when I first met you in first grade you were quiet, but very energetic. You were more of the laughing giggling type" he said

"You always got into something but nothing big, things like arguments, or taking a kids ball at the playground."

I smiled a little before he went on. " you always stuck with your brother, wherever he went you went, you really look up to him." The mention of my brother had me sit ip a little straighter.

"Whats my brother like?" Emerson let out a low whistle before describing him.

"Oliver was rowdy- still is. You picked up your love of baseball from him. He's very smart and strategical. He always attracts people but is sometimes scary if you mess with him?"

"Mess with him?"

"Yeah, but nothing bad, his face is just all scary when he's mad, and he makes sure whatever you did won't happen again by talking it out"

Oliver is a man of words

I make a mental note.

"Ok back to me" I said

"You met Al through your brother, you guys clicked right away and Oliver didn't seem to mind after a while. Oooh and in high school you had this big crush on one of the baseball players and when he asked you out you said no and cried after." He bursted out laughing and I felt my cheeks go red. That's embarrassing, its common sense to say yeah.

He kept telling me how I was just so bubbly and how happy I was to have been excepted to a top university.

Wait

I have school

Maybe I should ask about that to Al

"Have you contacted your family?" I shook my head and told Emerson I'd do it later. He left shortly after because it was getting dark out. So I went to sleep hoping to contact my family tomorrow.
