Synopsis
Have you ever felt like you
were wearing a mask, like a masquerade mask you were at ball? I
have worn one before at a ball where I felt my most comfortable in my
own skin.
My name is Julia Falls. I
felt like for some time now that I have been wearing a mask. I had a horrible
accident and don’t remember what happened before it or even why I was in an
accident. I have never felt like myself until I meet a guy I fall head over
heels in love with. Chris is truly my soul mate but I still feel like things
are still being hidden from me. Things get worse when my nightmares return of
the death of my parents and my accident. Also dealing with raising my little
sister is another stress to add to my life.
Will I ever shed the mask?
Will Chris and I last through all the turmoil of lies reaching the surface?
Time will only tell.

Excerpt
“Sweetie, come in here. She is awake.”
My eyes flutter open as I hear a woman speaking to someone else. I
open them again then close them repeatedly because the intensity of the lights
on my eyes are causing spots. I deliberately open and close them again several
times before it gets easier to see.
I look around to see my mother and my dad holding a child. I know
they are my parents, but whose child is that? I look around to see machines
hooked up to me, and that is when I realize I am in a hospital.
“What happened? Why am I here? Who is that little girl?” My voice
is horse.
My dad looks up to my mother. “I will go and get the doctor.” He
walks out of the door with the little girl.
I look up at my mother, and she says, “We will discuss that after
the doctor sees you.” Leaning down, she hugs me, crying. “I am so happy to see
those beautiful green eyes again.”
The doctor comes in the door with my dad in tow and the girl
cradled in his arms.
The doctor looks at the machines then turns to me, pulling out a
flashlight from his pocket. He looks me in each eye with it blinding me again.
“You are looking good. It’s nice to see you awake. How are you
feeling?”
“I’m okay. I think. Can someone tell me what happened?”
The doctor steps back and looks down at me. “You were in a gruesome
car wreck. When you first came in, we had our doubts that you would live. Thank
goodness you pulled through. I am going to go and let the nurses know you are
up and maybe bring you some water?”
“Please, my mouth is really dry, and I am starved. Can I eat?”
Chuckling, the doctor says, “Let’s see how you handle the water
first, but I think we may be able to get you something light to eat. Do you
remember who you are or your age? Tell me the last few things you remember.”
I try to think back. “I remember being a child of course. I don’t
remember how I wound up here. I’m not sure on how old I am either. I’m thinking
I’m sixteen, right?” I look up at my parents. “I’m feeling overwhelmed. I know
you are my parents and have apparently had a baby.”
He nods his head. “Well, you are actually eighteen, and it looks
like you only will have so many memories of the time before. Your parents can
show you pictures to jog your memory, but it may never come completely back.
Other than that, you look really good, and I couldn’t be happier with the
outcome of all of this. You still need rest though.”
I nod my head, and he says, “I will be back later. I will let your
family explain the details.” He turns on his heel and makes his exit.
