PART 3
"Oh, back already?" A blonde woman asked as she walked around a corner to meet the crowd as they entered the house one by one. "I thought you lot would be gone longer then that."
"So did we." Sean answered. "But we had a bit of an accident."
The warn smile disappeared instantly from the woman's face to be replaced with a look of concern. "What happened?" She demanded. "And who in the world is THAT?" She asked when Keith walked through the doorway being very careful not to hit the head of the girl he was carrying against the frame.
"Um," Keith tried hard to figure out how he was going to explain.
"Hi Mum." Rebecca said to the blonde woman.
"Um," Keith said again. "Um …"
"Spit it out Boy." His mother said. "'Um' isn't exactly a good explanation." Then she turned toward the girl laying across her son's arms. "What's your name dear?" She asked her.
Nicole's head was still burning with confusion, pain, and fear. She looked at the concerned look on the woman's face. Two thoughts popped into her head at the same time when she saw this person. One thought was: There is NO way she is old enough to be Keith Harkin's mother, even if he is only twenty right now. The second thought was: Should I tell them my real name? What would happen if I did? I mean, I'm not even in my own time. Keith Harkin can't meet me when I'm twenty years old if it's only 2006. What if there's another 'Me' still in America? There MUST be another 'Me'. There also must be a way to get back to my own time, so I can't very well be twenty now AND twenty in four years.
"Are you alright?" Mrs. Harkin asked the girl after a moment of getting nothing but a blank stare from her.
After a second of thinking very hard she finally decided she should just make up a name. It's not like it would really affect anything if she did. She was probably going back home soon anyway. She tried hard to think of a name she wouldn't mind going by for the next couple of days until she could get back to where she belonged. With her favorite song stuck in her head (as it always was when she saw it's composer) there was only one name she could think of.
"Lauren." She said softly. "My name is Lauren."
"Oh." Mrs. Harkin smiled, relived that the girl gave her an answer. She was a bit worried that she couldn't talk or something. "That's a lovely name. I'm Siobhán Harkin."
Nicole (now Lauren) felt Keith's chest move as he let out the breathe she hadn't even noticed he'd been holding since his mother had asked the question. She could feel him relax a bit knowing she could at least remember that much.
"Mum," Rebecca chimed in softly. "Um–"
"What is it with you two and trying to tell me everything with 'um's all of a sudden?" Their mother joked. "I don't speak 'Um'."
Rebecca walked closer to the woman and whispered something in her ear.
"Oh dear." The worry returned to Mrs. Harkin's face. "Well, um–"
"Now you're doing it." Keith pointed out with a failed attempted at a smile on his face.
"Bring her to the sofa." His mother told him, completely ignoring his jest. "I'm sure she doesn't want to sit in you arms all day. You're not exactly soft."
Keith did as he was told.
"Should we stay or go?" Aaron asked. He didn't want to get in the way, but he felt bad about just leaving them. "Do you think you'll need anything from me?"
"No, no." Keith told him. "You two can go if you want to. I don't think there's anything we'll be needing."
"Right then." He said a bit unsure. "Well, I hope you feel better." He told Lauren.
"Yeah." Sean agreed. "Feel better, and I really am sorry about … ya know." He gave her an uneasy smile, then quickly followed Aaron out of the house.
"Alright, then," Mrs. Harkin sat on the edge of the sofa right beside Lauren. "Becca says you're having a hard time remembering thing since you got hit with a … what was it?" She asked her children.
"A … rock." Keith answered quietly. "It was a rock."
"I'm not even sure I want to know how that happened." She sighed. "Now then," She directed her attention back at Lauren. "What all do you remem– Are you alright?"
Lauren had her hands on the sides of her head as if she were trying to hold the two halves together. Her eyes were squeezed shut, tears trying to force their way out.
"Sweetheart?" Mrs. Harkin didn't know what to do.
"It's okay." Keith soothed, realizing she was holding her head out of frustration and not pain. He knelt on the floor by her head and ran his hand gently down her hair. "You're alright." He whispered in her ear. With that a tear finally made it's way down to her cheek.
"I think we should just let her rest." His mother said softly. "She's obviously had a hard day. Let's leave her be for a bit."
"She may be more comfortable in a room instead of on the sofa." Rebecca suggested. "She can lay in my room if she'd like."
"That's a good idea." Keith agreed. "You'd probably rest a bit better in privacy. Here," He slid his arms underneath her again. "I'll take you in there." Again, with, seemingly, no effort he lifted her off the seat and carried her down a short hallway and into a very pretty bedroom. "There ya are." He smiled as he lay her on the bed. "Rest well. You can come sit with us whenever you're ready to."
"Thank you." Lauren sniffled.
"You're very welcome, Lauren." Keith smiled at her, then walked out the door.
As she lay on the soft bed, Nicole thought about everything that had happened. She had gone to the concert confident that nothing could possibly go wrong, but now she was in Ireland (not that THAT, in it's self, was a bad thing) in another time and now had to remember that she has a completely different name. She was in a bedroom that belonged to someone she'd never met before (but had heard of ) who was the sister of a man who had scared her out of her wits the one time she had met him, which was a matter of seconds before someone else hit her in the head (which she assumed was what caused her to wake up four years before any of that happened)! And now they AND their mother think she's completely mental and that she can't remember anything.
But what if it was that she couldn't remember correctly? What if she'd made all of that up? But she couldn't have! That HAD to be what happened. But it couldn't have!
What she really needed to think about now was what she was going to tell these people when she want back out there to face them again. She couldn't very well tell them what she really remembered. They'd have her locked in a padded room for sure if they had any sense at all. She'd have to make something up, just like she did with her name. … But what?
