(This chapter takes place in the past after Seri recovers her memory and is saved by William. This is the three year gap Seri kept secret.)
It had been a few months since I was pushed by Ilene. My foot was almost healed, but staying in bed all day was starting to take its toll on me.
I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. Everytime I closed my eyes, I saw the people I thought were friends betray me.
Every night in my dreams, I fell off the cliff and landed on rocks.
Every night I had to relive that pain. Over. And. Over.
I couldn't stand it. I wanted to forget. I had to forget.
I forgot once, but why couldn't I forget again?
Was this all some joke? If I had died, then where was I now? Was this really another world, or was I just a character in some book? Is this heaven or hell?
Is it real?
Was anything ever real?
Were William, Dante, and Millie truly my friends? Or was that all fake too?
