"Meet me at 5th and Broadway" I rolled over and looked at the message from Clark. Like I said, maybe this isn't a good idea but how else am I going to regain my memory back. Besides, I need to get close to Clark to know what he is up to. He knows things about me that other's don't and I'm going to find out why.
"Give me 30" I got up to take my shower and start getting ready. Twenty minutes later, I'm walking out the door to meet Clark. I only live eight blocks away, so it's not a very far walk. It's a little colder today than usual, I pull my jacket tighter around my body. As I approach Broadway, I see Clark standing outside his car.
"Hey, if you don't mind can we pick my friend up on the way?" I ask him, getting into his car and shutting the door. The interior of his car is nice.
"Sure" We set off to pick up Leanne. Leanne only lives five blocks away. I text her that we're here as Clark pulls up. Once Leanne gets in the car we set off down the road. Going all the way on the other side of New York was a lot of driving. A lot of talking. Some of the things Clark says and the way he says them really puts me on edge. Every time he talks about my life or parents, he gets this look of malice in his eye. I have a feeling he knows something but doesn't want to tell me. I've noticed that he gets a little aggressive talking about his life. I need to be careful, right now I'm not sure who I can trust.
"So Clark where are we going?" I asked feeling anxious, just wanting to get this over with.
"All the way on the far side of New York City"
"And let me guess that's a long drive?"
"Yes" I wasn't paying attention when I heard tires squeal and when I looked up, I was transported back in time.

"Jake" Screamed mom.
"Kate" Screamed dad.
"Violet" They both yelled in unison.
My side of the car took the most impact. But my mother put herself between me and the door before I could get hit badly. As my mother threw herself on top of me, I felt her bleed out and take her last breathe.
"Violet?" My father called out.
I could faintly hear anything. I couldn't even hear the sirens coming. I hurt everywhere.
"Violet" Screamed dad. I was already knocked out. I hit my head pretty hard. I could feel the blood on the back of my head.
The pain was unbearable. I couldn't even breathe. I felt like I was suffocating.
"We're losing her."
"Get her to the OR stat."
I had blood filling my lungs and a broken leg. As I lay in the hospital bed, my father walks into the room.
"Violet?"
"Leave" I cannot stand to look at him because while he's alive, my mother is dead.
"But Violet"
"My mother is dead because of you. If you weren't such an abusive drunk, she would still be here. So get the fuck and punch on someone else" I looked him straight in the eye, daring him to challenge me.
"Let's get one thing straight V, you'll never be nothing. We all have skeletons that will come out one way or another"
With that he walked right out the door and never came back.

"Violet are you okay?"Asked Leanne, looking worried.
"Yeah I just saw my mother die before my eyes" It pains me deeply to say that. I watched my mother die. Suddenly the whole car came to a complete stop as both of them turned around to look at me.
"What do you mean you saw her die before your eyes?" Leanne questioned me like I was crazy. I couldn't breathe, so I got out of car to get some fresh air. Clark and Leanne followed after me. I started to tell them but then I heard tires squeaking, the car was coming at me. I didn't have time to jump out of the way before it hit me straight on. It didn't hit me hard enough to kill me but it did do some damage. Not even 2 weeks after I got out of the hospital, I was right back where I started. I mean, I just woke up out of a coma and now someone is trying to kill me. Can my life get anymore complicated? I felt like I was in some kind of dream like state. I had to be dreaming because when I woke up, my mother was standing right in front of me.
"Violet Hun"
"Mom"
"Vi-Vi I know you're scared right now, so am I. Things happen for a reason, we might not always understand why. I love you Violet, always. I know I'm gone now, but you must be careful Vi; there are things that you do not know. I can't tell you them but you're in danger Violet. Be careful"
"Why can't you tell me. How am I supposed to protect myself"
"I'm sorry Vi, I wish I could tell you right now but I can't. You just need to be careful. You're a smart woman Violet. Don't sell yourself short. You're strong. You can do this. You know what you have to do. I must go now Vi, it's not you're time yet baby girl. I love you baby. I'll always be watching over you." It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm in my hospital room. Again. Someone tried to kill me. This wasn't an accident. Someone is after me. Once I'm better I'm going to take some self defense classes to protect myself. My mom is right, I'm strong. A knock at the door, made me lose my train of thought.
"Yes" I yelled
"Violet he's missing" Sage said out of breath
"Who is" I asked
"Your----"
Suddenly the lights went out before she could finish the sentence. What the fuck. This cannot be good.
