The Hollywood Liars

Amnesia

Silver’s POV

I had no clue to where I was running to, I didn’t care either. This is all just a dream, Silver wake up, just wake up and have the life of a movie star. I think to myself, pinching myself.

“Ouch!” I say.

This isn’t a dream and this is my life. I am a Barakat but I refuse to believe it. This isn’t right, this just isn’t right.

The adrenaline shoots through my body as I just keep going, I don’t know when I’ll stop but I need to get out of here, but then again the last time I got out I ended up where I am now. Karma, do you like biting my ass because it seems like that’s all you’ll ever do, at least for me that is.

I eventually slow down when I realize I’m so close to the edge of a cliff, one small step and I could die. I don’t know what to do, but without myself noticing the rock I’m standing on slips, and then all I can do is scream, that’s all I do before I black out on the rocks beneath me….


Jack’s POV

I hear a scream from far away, I don’t know what or who is so I shake Alex awake.

“No, go ‘way, ‘mm tired.” He says, whining.

“But I heard a scream, it sounded like Silver’s.” I tell him, then he instantly gets up.

“Why didn’t you tell me! My daughter could be dead! Let’s go!” Alex yells, grabbing my hand and dragging me to the sound, tripping and fumbling over sticks and rocks along the way.

We eventually reach the edge of a cliff and then being careful, we look over the edge to see Silver knocked out on a small ledge, almost enough to make her fall an immediate death but somehow she fell perfectly to make her not fall.

“Jack she won’t die yet right?” Alex asks me.

“I’m not sure, but I hope so. Not today, just not today. How are we going to get down there? We have no cell service here so we can’t call anyone.”

“I could run to the car, I have a survival kit in there.”

“There was a reason why I married you, you always are prepared.”

“We were going into the wilderness, I had to.”

“Do you want me to come with?” I ask.

“No, you stay here. I’ll be right back.” he says, going to the car.

Five minutes later and then I look over the edge to see my daughter moving a bit.

“Silver!” I yell down to her.

“Who said that and how do you know my name!” She calls back.

“I did, up here! And I’m Jack Barakat, your dad! Don’t you remember me?”

“No, but how did I get down here? I don’t remember being in the woods, or most anything to be honest.” She says, making me scared, only one thing makes sense.
Amnesia.

I didn’t know a fall could hurt her this way, then again the drop was large. I should have ran after her, I should have but I didn’t. I could have prevented this. I could have prevented this all but I had to realize who she was and hope for her to come back to me, plus I just made it worse by saying I was her dad, in which she is. I just screwed up big time. Nice one Jack, screwed up again.

“Jack?” She yells, getting my attention once more as I had zoned myself in self pity.

“Sorry about that, I was just thinking.”

“That’s okay, but being on this ledge is really scaring me and I just want to go home!

Can’t you save me?”

Home, she said home but what home? From what she said earlier before all of this she is wearing street clothes instead of the posh perfect clothing. Where is home to her, with me or Tosh? Plus Alex and I don’t even live here, home is either on the bus or in Baltimore. I really need to get in contact with Tosh as soon as possible, we need to get this sorted out before too late really does mean too late.

“Your father is going to get rope sweetie, he’ll be back soon. Just stay calm, okay. Then we’ll get out of here as soon as possible and we can go home to see your uncle Rian and Zack who are taking care of your siblings right now, but until he gets back do you want me to tell you a story?” I ask her, treating her like a small child but it’s the only way I can think of getting her memory back, by telling a true story about her while her not knowing what's going on if that makes sense. One small move and I could permanently damage her mind.

“I’m not five but okay!” She says, looking up at me.

“Well this story is about a little girl named Silvia.” Changing up Silver’s name to a fake one. “She was born about sixteen years ago and was born to a caring father and an evil mother who took her away to a place called Hollywood and turned her into a star, everyone knows her name and wants to be her. Her father, Jackary, on the other hand never got to see his little star, it’s not like he didn’t care it’s that he wasn’t able to due to the evil lady not letting him see her. She ran away one day, just to leave the house because she knew that she just didn’t belong where she was, Silvia didn’t know her father either, she grew up to another man acting like he was her father. When she was running she met a kind girl named Roxie who lead her to her house where she met her mom, who didn’t like Silver because of Jackary’s girlfriend taking away Silvia from him and told her shocking news that the life she was living was a lie and that she was Jackary’s daughter, who is a famous rockstar by the way. Silvia ran even more to realize she was at a record company late at night where she met Jackary when he was recording for his newest album with his band All Time High. They met and Jackary knew that Silvia was his little girl, after all he has seen every movie and TV show made as well as owning all of her music and seeing her shows when he could even though he could tell that the music was not significant to her. After they met Jackary started telling her that he has a story to tell her, that he was her dad and had a husband with two little siblings for her to be an older sister to, they ended up in the woods and then she got hurt so while Jackary’s husband went to go get rope to save her he told her a story. Then when he got back, they went to the evil moms house so that Jackary could get his kid back. That happened and then Silvia got to live a happy life with Jackary and his husband, Alexander and her two siblings Ruby and Scotch. The end.” I say to her, not knowing that Alex came back with the survival kit.

“I loved it! Hey who is that behind you?” She asks me.

I turn around to see my lovely husband.

“This is Alex, your father.”

“Hi, I see she woke up.” Alex says, getting out the rope and dropping it down to her.

“Hold on as hard as you can and don’t let go, I don’t want you getting hurt okay sweetheart?”

“Okay.” Silver says, holding onto the rope.

“Jack I need you to help me, remember I failed at gym class.”

I take hold of the rope and pull my daughter up to safety.

“Jack, what do I call you? You said you were my dad but I still can’t remember anything.” She says as she gets back up on the cliff, far from the edge.

“You can just call me dad, and you can call Alex, just Alex or papa or just really anything. If you want to for now just until you get used to things again you can just call us by our first names.” I say as we start walking down the rocky path to the original site we were at before the havoc.

“Where are we going now?”

“Well we can either stay here in these woods for the night or we can go stay at a hotel for the night, I have to be at work in…” I say, then checking my watch to see it’s four am. “Five hours. It’s your choice darling.”

“Can we go get marshmallows and make a campsite till the sun come up?”

“Alex?”

“I think that’s perfectly okay, plus you can postpone work just for a little bit for family time right? You can even see where we work!” Alex says, joyfully, a bit too joyfully for four am but that little cute bug can be joyful at anytime so I don’t stop him.

“Well lets go back to the car and find a store that will have marshmallows okay? And Silver you can sleep in the car if you want to, it has been a long day for all of us.” I say, getting us all to the car safely.

“Babe do you want me to drive so that you can sleep also? I don’t want you to be tired at the wheel.” I say as we get to the car and I hear him yawn.

“Please?” He asks in the cutest voice.

“Get in the car you two, so that you can have bit of rest before the sun comes up.” I tell the tired two.

“Okay Dad.” Silver says sleepily as she opens the car door to sleep.

After we all are in the car I drive us to the only store that would be open, a 7-11. When we get there I look over at Silver and Alex who are sleeping peacefully. Deciding that they shouldn’t nor deserve to be woken up I just head into the store to grab the marshmallows and other goodies and save them for tomorrow.

Picking up small items like miniature doughnuts, candy and snack cakes as well as water and Gatorade I pay for them then head back to the car where the sleeping pair is still sleeping. I decide to head to a Hilton and book us a room to stay in so they can have a bed for the night, some other time we’ll watch the sunrise and have a nice time. Not now though, it’s been a long day for all of us. Later today I’ll find Tosh and get Silver back, she needs to be with me who cares about her and where we love her more than any other thing.

I hear a cell phone go off, deciding it isn’t Alex or mine it would be Silver’s. It won’t stop going off so I rustle for it with my hand, still eyes on the road.

Finding the phone I see it reads one word: Mom

I answer it, nervous that it’s my ex-girlfriend from many years past.

“Silver get home now! Secrets out the box!” The voice that I haven’t heard for over fifteen years says.

“Tosh.” I say.

“Who is this, why isn’t it Silver.”


“It’s Jack.”

“Why are you on Silver’s phone! Get her on the line!”


“She has amnesia. She doesn’t remember a single thing, she ran off after you screamed at her on the side of the restaurant. I was just in the middle of recording when she came to the record company and as you should know you sent me pictures as she grew up so I knew she was my daughter. We decided to go to that old hideaway where you and I went when we went on the road trip to California, I told her she was my daughter and then she ran off. She almost died if Alex and I didn’t save her in time. Great parenting by the way.”

“You let your pathetic husband touch her?”
Tosh screams, surprisingly not waking up my husband and daughter.

“He is not pathetic! You can say whatever you want about me but do not say anything about Alex! And I can’t believe you don’t care about the fact that she has amnesia so she wouldn’t answer you either way! Why are you even calling at almost five am anyway?”

“Because she needs to be home! It’s late!” She slurs, making me realize Tosh is drunk.

"You are really irrelevant aren't you? I just want to get to a hotel so my husband and daughter can sleep. I’m really postponing my time in the studio because of you. See you later bitch!” I say, hanging up as we reach the hotel.

I wake up Alex and he moans but when I tell him that we’re at a hotel he instantly wakes up, I tell him to grab the groceries I bought while he was asleep as I pick up Silver, not wanting her to wake up.

We walk into the Hilton and Alex asks for a room for three nights, knowing our time in California is almost up before we head back to Baltimore. Even if Silver still has amnesia we would need to get back home to see Ruby and Scotch, can’t let them get separation anxiety, they are still babies after all, they need Alex and I but so does my little girl with amnesia. I may just ask Rian and Zack to send them out to us, and then I decide that three days is not enough to get Silver’s mind back.

To: Rian Dawson; Zack Merrick; Matt Flyzik
From: Jack Barakat
Can you send Ruby and Scotch to California? Silver needs Alex and I, she has amnesia and I can’t let our children get separation anxiety.
I send them, receiving a text from Flyzik first.

To: Jack Barakat
From: Matt Flyzik
Yeah sure, do you want me to be on the flight or get Zack and Rian to go?

To: Matt Flyzik
From: Jack Barakat
Could you go? I trust you more with my kids than Zian, I love them but I don’t want them to do anything stupid.

From: Matt Flyzik
To: Jack Barakat
Okay, I’ll be on the next flight in a few hours, with tons of diapers and clothing for them. Anything you want me to bring?

To: Matt Flyzik
From: Jack Barakat
Go into my closet, the far back and there is a box that says “Important Documents. DO NOT GO IN OR I WILL BITE YOU.” Bring the whole box, put it in another box that locks up by voice control. I can’t let anyone get those documentations. Also just common sense items like binkys, and formula.

From: Matt Flyzik
To: Jack Barakat
Got you, I should be in LA no later than 12 with Ruby and Scotch. Will you be picking me up or do I need a cab?

To: Matt Flyzik
From: Jack Barakat
Alex and I will get you at LAX. Also before you go make sure that Ruby has her dog and Scotch has his cat.

From: Matt Flyzik
To: Jack Barakat
Okay, I just bought the tickets, I’ll be at Gate 12, Delta Airlines by 11:25 with Ruby and Scotch. I’m actually going to start packing them up now so I’ll see you in a few hours. Bye Jack, hope Silver’s amnesia goes away.

To: Matt Flyzik
From: Jack Barakat
Hold on! Can you play baby sitter tonight? I need to go to Tosh and Alex and Silver will be with me.

From: Matt Flyzik
To: Jack Barakat.
Knew you were going to say that. Look I’ll even bring Home Alone if you let me pack.

To: Matt Flyzik
From: Jack Barakat
YES. BYEE MATTY MOUSE, LOVE YOU!


I finish texting Matt and realize my husband is passed out sleeping on the bed with his skinny jeans still on, that isn’t comfortable. I take them off for him and then I take mine off.

Before slipping into bed I look at Silver sleeping in one of the chairs so I pick her up and tuck her into the bed next to Alex and I’s.

Once I put the blanket over her I hear her mumble something.

“Something isn’t right Jack. I know it isn’t but I’ll do my best to be better at finding what’s wrong”

I pet her hair and whisper into her ear.

“You just have some amnesia, everything will be fine in time. Don’t worry about it and let Alex and I fix it. You grew up too fast, so we’re here to slow it down for you. Okay darling? Just let Alex and I slow down time for you and you’ll be okay, now shush now, sleep and you’ll meet your new siblings in the morning. Uncle Matt is going to bring them and then later that night we’re going to visit an old friend and go out to a nice dinner with Matt, Alex and your siblings. It will be just fine.” I say calmly, then heading to my bed to cuddle Alex.

“Night Alex, big day later. Matt will be coming with the kids.” I whisper, not caring if he hears me or not.

“S’ kay” Alex says, cuddling close to my chest and leaving us to a peaceful sleep for a few hours before morning.

Notes

It's been almost a week since I last updated but I just didn't know what to write until now.
Also in two weeks I'll be out of town to visit a friend.
I've also gotten back into drawing so I'm happy about that, currently I'm drawing a sketch of this: Top photo
For who don't know its MattG124 and Leda (HaiLedaBear) I know they broke up but I still want to sketch it.
Till darkness completes us,

@xMareBear14x
Looking back, I actually did intend to make Alex kind of like me. He believes that dreams tell him things, and so he saw something that might happen, that being where he could tell what may happen.
So in a way, yes.

@Sarah's Butterflies
Like, that one part. You made it seem like he saw into the future. Maybe wizard wasnt the best word. Psychic?

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean, can you explain if that isn't too much?
Also thanks for commenting on this, it was a nice surprise since this has been up for a little over a year now!

Wait one second. Is Alex some kind of wizard?
