"Can you hear me?"

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Can you..."

???'s P.O.V.

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt my body move. My eyesight was blurry and I could barely see anything. Soon, my vision became clear and I found myself in a strange room. I looked around to assess my surroundings. There was a large desk a few feet away from the couch I was laying on. There were posters hanged up on the wall, with weird animal robots in them. Is this... an office, perhaps? I caught a glimpse of a calendar and I looked at the date. "August... 1st." I muttered to myself. I looked at myself. I was wearing some kind of uniform. Black trousers, black dress shoes... but my shirt was purple with a golden badge on the left side. Do I... work at this place?

"Hey, you."

I heard a little girl's voice talk to me. I could swear I saw her from the corner of my eye. I gasped and I shot up from the couch. I clenched my chest and felt my heart beating fast. Whoever it was nearly gave a heart attack.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

A young man suddenly opened the door and ran into the room, looking concerned. He had golden, blonde hair and bright purple eyes. He was wearing a similar uniform except it's a light brown. "I heard a scream. Are you okay?" The man asked, walking closer to me. Who is that man? He put his hands on my shoulders and laid me back down on the couch. "Someone will be coming for you soon." He said. "Um..." I tried to say something, but I couldn't. "Now, be patient and wait." He said. He walked out of the room, leaving me alone. What...? Who is that man? Does he know me?

"I wonder who's coming for you."

I heard the girl's voice again and she appeared before me. I covered my mouth and tried not to scream. Slowly, I uncovered my mouth and stared at the girl. Expect, something's not right. The girl... was floating. "Are you alright? You suddenly collapsed, so I was worried." She said to me. I was trying to figure who the girl was or what she's doing in here.

Then, someone else came into the room. He had messy, black hair with brown eyes. He was wearing the same uniform that the man was wearing, only it was red.

A young girl was beside the man. She was wearing the same uniform as the two men were wearing except it was light blue.

"I heard you collapsed. Are you okay?" The man asked, with concern in his voice. Who is he and... who is the person next to him? I... I don't understand. Do they... all know me somehow?

I wonder who these people are. I thought as they looked at me. The young girl looked at the man, worried.

"Hey, are you really all right?" The man asked. I don't know these people. How could they all know me? "Me, Scott and Sara will walk you home. I'll tell Boss that you're gonna take some time off." He said, looking at the young girl. I slowly got up from the couch when the man looked at me again. "I don't mean to be rude, but it would be nice if you would talk a little bit." He said. I looked down at the ground and said one word. "Y-Yeah." The two people looked at me, confused. Then, another man came into the room. He had black, spiky hair and brown eyes. He was wearing green-framed glasses and was wearing the same uniform the girl was wearing. "Hey, Aiden. Is Vincent all right?" He asked the man. Vincent? Who is that? And... I looked at the person named Aiden. "Yeah. I-I think so. He doesn't seem to be talking much." He replied. The man walked up to me and held my hand. "Are you okay? You didn't hit your head, did you?" He asked. I blushed. I don't know this person, but... the way he's holding my hand... It's really familiar.

"Do you think he remembers us?" The young girl asked with concern.

"I don't know. Vincent blushed when Scott held his hand, even though they hold each others hands all the time. He has this spacey look on his face." The man replied. "I think we should take Vincent to the hospital, just to be sure." The man with the spiky hair said. "Yeah, I think it's a good idea, Scott." Aiden said. The man named Scott turned to me. "Alright, Vince. Before we head home, we're gonna make a quick trip to the hospital, okay?" He asked. "O-Okay." I replied, but then, I heard the little girl's voice again. "You can't! You can't go to the hospital. It'll be a huge hassle. Just tell them you're sleepy and pretend." What? Why did she tell me not to go to the hospital? W-What going on...? "Hey. Are you okay? You kinda look shaken." Aiden asked. I looked at him. "Y-Yeah. I-I'm fine." I replied. "Are you sure? We're just gonna make a quick trip to the hospital and then we'll take you home. Does that sound good?" Scott asked.

"N-No." I replied, shaking my head. "I think I'm just tired. I'll go home." Scott looked at me, really concerned.

The young girl blinked in confusion.

"O-Okay...? Whatever works for you, Vince." Scott said and kissed my cheek. My cheeks went red. Did he... just kiss me? "Um... U-Uh..." I stared at Scott. "A-Are you alright? Y-Your face is getting red." He said, growing more concerned. "Okayyy... I think the pizzeria's closing now, so I think it's time we head home. C'mon, little sis." Aiden said, going to the door. Scott looked at me and offered me his hand. "It's okay. I'm here for you if anything happens." He said. I hesitantly took his hand and we all left the pizzeria.

The young girl looked at me, still worried.

I looked at the young girl. She's looking very worried about me. I wonder if she suspects that I don't remember anything? "We're not walking too fast, are we?" Scott said, looking at me. I shook my head in response. Then, a cold breeze blew by me and I shivered. "Are you cold?" Aiden asked. "Um, just a little bit." I replied. Scott took off his jacket and put it on me. "Here. Maybe it could help warm you up." He said. I blushed again. "Thanks..." I said. "You're welcome." Scott said, smiling. I can't help but smile back. He's really nice. Even though I don't remember him, he is very sweet. "Man, why is it so cold all of a sudden? It's August. It should still be warm." Aiden said.

"I don't know. I thought it was going to be warm today." The young girl said, holding her arms, shivering from the breeze.

I watched Aiden take off his jacket and put it on his sister. "Here. I don't want you to catch a cold." He said.

"Thanks, Aiden." She smiled.

"You're welcome, little sis." Aiden smiled back. I looked back down at the ground. I can't keep up with their conversation. I'm acquainted with these people, but I can't remember. Nothing... There's nothing. It's not just them. Who exactly am I?

"Hey."

I heard Scott call out to me. I snapped out of my trance and looked up at him. "Yeah?" I asked. "We're back at your house." Scott said. "Here?" I asked in confusion. Scott nodded. "Will you be alright by yourself?" Scott asked. "Hm?" I looked at the three people. "Should we stick around for a little longer?" Aiden asked. "Um, I'll be fine on my own. Thank you for walking me home." I said, smiling a little. "Are you really alright?" Aiden asked. "Ah, y-yeah." I replied. "But..." Aiden started to say and Scott held my hand. "If there's something bothering, you can tell us. We're not afraid to help you." He said.

Sara's P.O.V.

"Vincent, are you sure you're okay? Don't tell me you don't remember anything." I said, still worried. I didn't even know if Vincent can remember anything. But, I heard a little girl's voice.

"Well, it appears you found out. Hey, I got an idea. How about you go with him and help him out?" The girl's voice said.

I nodded.

"Hm? What's up, little sis?" My big brother, Aiden asked.

"Oh, n-nothing." I said.

Vincent's P.O.V.

"Are you sure? You look like you've seen a ghost." Aiden said. "No, A-Aiden, it's fine. I, uh... I think I might need some help at home." I said, looking at the girl named Sara. "Hey. You remember my name. Hehehe. Well, I guess that's a relief." Aiden said, chuckling. "Okay. Sara will keep an eye on you, okay?" Scott asked me. "O-Okay." I replied. "If anything comes up, don't hesitate to call." Scott said, waving. I waved back as the two men walked away. I looked at Sara and we both went inside.

Third person P.O.V.

"So, I'm guessing you can't remember anything at all?" Sara asked Vincent.

Vincent simply nodded. "It appears so." A girl's voice said. They both turned around and saw a spirit of a girl. "You see, he lost all of his memories from before August 1st."

"Is there a way that we can bring him back his memories?" Sara asked.

"Well, you have to get it back through memories and interactions with others." The girl spirit said. "But, I have a question. Why can't I go to the hospital?" Vincent asked. "Because going to the hospital won't do any good. Your memory loss isn't caused by trouble with your mind or body. If you're hospitalized and are all alone, you can't talk to people and find the connections you once had with them. If that isolation from stimuli continues, you'll even forget things like how to drink water or how to breathe and you'll break." Vincent was getting scared by the girl's answer. Sara put her hand on his shoulder. "So to make sure that doesn't happen, we need to avoid thoughtlessly saying you have amnesia, and act carefully-" "But..." The two girls looked at Vincent. "I don't understand anything. I can't even remember who I am." He said. The girl spirit hanged his head low. "I'm sorry." She said.

"Hey, we'll find his memories for sure. And we'll make sure he won't go to the hospital." Sara said.

The girl spirit smiled. "That's great Thank you very much." She said.

Sara smiled. "You're welcome."

Vincent looked at the pile of papers on his desk. He went up to it and picked up his cellphone. "I wonder if Scott and Aiden, the two who walked you two home work at the same place you do. They were talking on the way home like you were childhood friends." The girl spirit said as Vincent looked through his phone.

Sara saw Vincent look through his phone.

"But even when they brought up old stories, you didn't respond, So I wonder if they suspected something." The girl spirit said. "Yeah." Vincent said. he saw that most of the data before now was erased, but his work contacts are still there. He looked through them and saw the names "Scott" "Aiden" "Mike" "Jeremy" "Fritz" "Sara" "Kevin" and "Boss". "This is all the data I have." He said.

"Are some of your data gone?" Sara asked.

"I-I think so." Vincent replied. "For some reason, all the data before now was erased. But it was good that your work contacts were able to be retrieved." The girl spirit said. "Yeah. You might be right, but..." Vincent said, looking at a picture of him and his friends.

"Did someone broke in here?" Sara asked.

"Well, if someone did break in here, there would be traces of a break-in." The girl spirit said.

"Yeah, you got a point." Sara said. She looked at the ground and noticed a small glass shard. Sara picked it up.

Vincent and the girl spirit noticed. "Did you find something?" She asked.

Sara showed the glass shard she was holding. "I found this."

Vincent stared at the glass shard. "W-Where did you find it?" He asked.

"It was on the ground." Sara looked at the bathroom door and noticed that there was another glass shard there as well. Sara walked to the door and opened it only to see a broken window with many glass shards. This made her eyes widen. "O-Oh my god..... Someone did break in here...."

Vincent's eyes widened along with the girl spirit. "W-Who did this?!" He asked, frightened. "I-I don't know. I don't know what's going on, but we need to be very careful." She said. Then, Vincent remembered something. "That's right. Scott, I think that's his name, told me that if anything happened, I should call him." He said.

Sara nodded. "Yeah, you should call him." Sara said.

Vincent dialed Scott's number on his cellphone. "Come on. Come on!" He said to himself. Scott picked up. "Hey Vincent. Are you feeling better?" He asked. "Yeah, but something really bad happened!" He said frantically. "Whoa, whoa, a-are you okay?!" Scott asked, really concerned. "No! Just get over here right now!" Vincent cried, tears welling up in his eyes. "Okay, I'm on my way! Stay calm!" Scott said. "Okay. Thank you." Vincent said and hung up. He turned to Sara. "He said that he's on his way." He said.

"Good. But first, we need to calm you down." Sara said.

Vincent took deep breaths to try to calm down.

Sara rubbed Vincent's back.

Vincent looked at Sara, tears in his eyes.

Sara hugged him and rubbed his back.

Vincent buried his face in Sara's shoulder and cried.

"Shh....... It's okay, Vince...... It's okay...." Sara said, calmly as she continued to rub Vincent's back.

Vincent sniffled. I want this to end. I want this to end! He thought. Meanwhile, the girl spirit watched and looked at the broken window.

"What is going on?"

*10 minutes later*

((I don't know if this song is fitting for the situation.))

Vincent and Sara heard a knock at the door.

Sara walked to the door and opened it to see Scott.

"Hey. Is Vincent here?" He asked, a worried look on his face.

Sara nodded.

Scott ran up the stairs and into the room where Vincent is and hugged him. "I came here as fast as I could. Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah. I'm fine." Vincent replied. "What happened? You sounded frantic on the phone." Scott asked him. "W-Well, someone... Someone broke into my house while I wasn't here." Vincent replied. "W-What?!" Scott said in shock. "Yeah. Here." Vincent handed Scott his cellphone and he went through it. "My work contacts are still there, but the rest of my data has been erased." He said. "What?" Scott was shocked. Who would break into Vincent's house and erase all of his data except his work contacts? He thought.

"And we found a broken window in the bathroom as well." Sara said.

Scott's eyes widened. "Scott... I don't feel safe being by myself." Vincent said. "I agree. How about I stay over for the night?" Scott asked. Vincent nodded and smiled a little. "Yeah. That would be great." He replied. Scott smiled back.

"Also, Scott, can I talk to you for a minute?" Sara asked.

"Hmm? Oh sure, Sara." Scott said before kissing Vincent's cheek. He blushed as he watched Scott and Sara leave the room. "So, what do want to talk to me about?" Scott asked.

"Okay, Vincent told me that he lost his memory. And I mean, his whole memory of the past." Sara said.

"You mean... Vincent doesn't remember anything about his past?" Scott asked.

"Yeah. And he might not remember all of the times all of us spent together with him." Sara said, sadly.

Scott put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Sara. We'll bring back his memories." He said.

Sara nodded as she felt worried that something bad was going to happen to Vincent.

"Don't worry. We'll make sure that nothing bad happens to Vincent." Scott said.

"Alright." Sara said.

Scott and Sara walked back into the room. "Alright Vince. I'm gonna be staying over for the night." Scott said. "Oh... Alright." Vincent said, still blushing. "Well, if you want, I can sleep on the floor." Scott said. "What? No, Scott. I can't let you do that." Vincent said. "Don't worry. It's for a really good friend." Scott said, feeling guilty that he didn't say 'my boyfriend'. But, if he wants Vincent to get his memories back, he had to gain his trust.

Sara looked out the window with her arms crossed.

The girl spirit appeared again. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm worried that something might happen. I mean, what if something bad happens to us?" Sara asked.

The girl spirit put her hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. Nothing bad is gonna happen to us. Besides..." She turned to Scott. "We got Scott on our side. I assure you, everything will be okay." She said.

"Alright. Also, what's your name?" Sara asked the spirit.

"Oh, sorry about the late introduction. My name is Amy. I'm a spirit from a world separate from this one." She answered.

"It's alright. I'm Sara. I'm Aiden's little sister." Sara said.

"Ah, it's nice to meet you, Sara." Amy said, smiling.

"Nice to meet you too, Amy." Sara said, smiling back gently.

Amy looked at Scott and Vincent. "I hope Vincent's gonna be okay." She said.

"Me too." Sara said.

Amy looked at the clock and noticed that it was time for bed. "Well, it's getting late. You should get some sleep." She said.

Sara nodded.

"I... I'm going to do my best for you two, so... Good night." Amy said as she disappeared.

"Night." Sara said before Amy disappeared. She felt a hand grab her shoulder.

"Who are you talking to, Sara?" Scott asked.

"Nothing. I wasn't saying anything." Sara said.

Scott looked at Sara, confused. "Alright, Scott. I think we should get your bed set up." Vincent said.

Sara nodded in agreement.

Vincent got up from the bed and pulled out another bed from underneath. He got some blankets and pillows and laid it on the bed. "Here. Hopefully, it's comfortable for you." Vincent said to Scott. "Oh, thank you." Scott said as he laid down on the bed. "You're welcome." Vincent said, smiling.

Sara smiled at the two men.

"Oh, hold on. I need to call someone." Vincent said. "Oh, okay." Scott said. Vincent went out of the room and dialed Aiden's number. "Hey Vincent. Are you feeling better?" He asked. "Yeah. I am, but Scott is staying over at my house for the night. So I want you to drop off some of his stuff at my house." Vincent said. "Oh, okay. I'll be there in a little bit." Aiden said. "Okay. See you later." Vincent said and hung up.

I wonder if Amy knows Kevin. Sara thought as she looked through the window, looking at the full moon.

A few minutes later, Vincent heard a knock at the door. He opened it and saw Aiden, holding a bag. "Here. I got you Scott's things." He said, giving Vincent the bag. "Thank you, Aiden." Vincent said. "You're welcome. You have a good night's rest, okay?" Aiden asked. "Okay. Good night." Vincent replied. "Good night." Aiden said, waving. Vincent waved back as he closed the door. He went back upstairs, carrying the bag. "Here, Scott. Aiden got you your things." He said, pulling out a toothbrush and some pajamas. "Oh, thank you, Vincent." Scott said, smiling. "You're welcome." Vincent said, smiling back.

Sara put her hair in a low ponytail as she was looking at the full moon, feeling a presence.

Vincent noticed. "Sara? Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Sara said.

Vincent looked at the full moon. "I hope I can get my memories back." He said.

"I hope the same thing." Sara said.

Soon, the three of them are all ready for bed. "*yawn* I'm gonna go to sleep now. Good night, guys." Scott said as he crawled onto the bed. "Good night, Scott." Vincent said. Scott smiled and snuggled his head in his pillow. He was half-expecting Vincent to give him a kiss on the forehead before he went to bed, but he remembered that he has amnesia. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Vincent, I hope you get your memories back. He thought.

I hope Vincent will get his memories back soon. Sara thought as she closed her eyes. She too snuggled her head against her pillow.

Vincent got into his bed and stared up at the ceiling. Can I really get my memories back? Maybe it's impossible... No. I can't give up. Sara, Amy and Scott will help me. I hope I can get my memories back. He thought as he fell asleep. What the others didn't know is that someone was watching them. There was a figure beside the light pole. He had short black hair and wearing a yellow top hat. He smiled a sinister smile as a chuckle escaped his lips.

((Here. Have this failure of a chapter. -_-;))
