22. After Attack
<<,Miles.>>
As Avery leaves for her room, I walk into mine only to be surprised by my mom waiting there. I sigh heavily. Sometimes I feel like I am still a 15 year old, not 25.
"Good evening mother," I greet her and she smirks.
"You thought I wouldn''t figure out your Boy''s den?"

Iugh and grab the water bottle to sip it. Little does she know, it''s far from the boy''s den. I am d I have no girlsying around naked today.
"So, are youing home today? Or do you want me to drag you from the ear?"
"Ohe on! You don''t want an assault charge from your own son," I drawl and she rolls her eyes.
"I am waiting in the lobby. You areing home and we will talk." She orders and walks out of the
room.
"It will take me half an hour, I have business to take care of." I say, opening myptop.
"You have ten minutes," she says, before disappearing out of the door.
Ah Fuck!
Mom is insisting that Ie home, which is only ''my home''. She is a guest here, because she wants
me and dad to have a long due conversation.
I hate that man.
He is the reason I don''t want tomit to a rtionship. My whole childhood and teenage years, I saw my mother miserable while he slept around without caring about her feelings.
To this day, I don''t understand why she didn''t leave him.
I cut off ties with girls before any feelings can develop, which is good for both parties.

In the lobby, I tell mom that I will meet her in front of the hotel front while I head to the parking lot. I am lost in my phone when the elevator pings and a girl stumbles back inside with a fire extinguisher
in her hand. A realization dawns on me when I realize it''s the same skin color see-through dress.
Avery!
I nce outside the lift and see a man standing in darkness. But I am unable to make out his face.
She frantically presses the lobby button.
It doesn''t make any sense at first, then I realize her body is shaking and her hair is undone.
When I put my hand on her shoulder, she startle and attacks me. I grab her makeshift weapon just in time and call out to her, "Oh my God, Avery.. It''s me!"
She bursts into tears and says, "Oh fuck! I thought he had an aplice in the lift. This is why he
didn''t follow me."
Somebody has harassed her or attacked her. My Jaw clenches at realization. I could go back to the
parking lot and beat the shit out of him, but I need to make sure she is fine. "Who?"I ask and grab her face into my palms, only to see her pupil dted.
She looks confused and doesn''t answer me and mumbles something coherent.
Was she hit on the head?
It doesn''t take long to confirm my suspicion because she faints. I pick her up and take her to the lobby.
Several employees and my mom rush towards me.
"What happened to her?"
''Somebody fucking assaulted her. Call the police and an ambnce."
"Send security to the parking lot and see if the attacker is still there."
I bark orders at them.
"Are you telling me that we can get mugged even at this big hotel?" My mom says in bewilderment.
"Fucking looks like it I say as Iy Avery on a sofa."

"Oh my God! isn''t she the girl that was all over the newsst weekend? That Collins family''s girl..."
I sigh. "Yeah..."
The manager arrives and I tell him the details, "That''s not possible, Sir. This is a very heavily guarded hotel."
I shoot him a death re. He is judging me based on information that I only saw her in the lift and
didn''t see anyone attack her.
He thinks she just fainted.
Can you fucking believe him?
"Maybe make ims once you see the security footage. Make a copy avable for me too."
"Sir! we cannot do that," he exims.
"You will do that if you don''t want awsuit on this ce."
He shuts his mouth and says, "We will see what we can do."
Avery stirs in her sleep and flutters her eyes open. She gets up and moves away from me.
"Oh Shit! Oh my God... This is embarrassing..." She says, looking at the little crowd formed around us.
"Give us some privacy everyone," I say to disperse the crowd of hotel staff and a few outlookers
around us.
The manager stays and asks, "I have called the police and ambnce but I have
to ask were you attacked? or he just wanted to grab your car keys?"
Avery blinks, unable to answer.
"She just hit her head, give her a break. Leave us alone for a while please."
She looks at me with fascination and asks, "How... How do you know I was hit in the head... I don''t
remember anything at all..."

"It''s a guess..."
"I don''t remember your name."
Ah Fuck. I cannot tell her I am ''Liam'' in front of Mom....
I certainly cannot tell her my real name.
"You don''t remember me at all?"
She thinks and yawns, "I know you are the Hot Jerk from 903.. we slept together
that night."
My eyes pop out and my mom giggles. I correct her. "We did not Avery..."
"We did. You said you paid for that bed and you won''t sleep in that stupid sofa bed."
Mom chuckles again and I shoot her a look.
"Are you his girlsister honey?" I
on,
and Avery startles
asks her by putting a palm shoulder, and Avery startles sw
"Oh I didn''t know you were here..." Avery says, then frowns. "But who are you?"
She squints her eyes and presses her head.
"Why don''t I remember anything?" She mumbles to herself.
The paramedics arrive and do a checkup for her.
"Her pupils are heavily diluted. Did she vomit?"
"Not yet," I tell them. "But she was unconscious for more than 10 minutes"
"Oh, We should do an MRI to be safe. Are you her family?"
"Yes." I tell them, and mom raises her brow at me.
"Alright, you can apany her in the ambnce."
I don''t know how I will exin this to mom.
"LIAM!" Avery exims, and I internally facepalm myself.

"Your name is LIAM. I remember it now."
I wince and nod.
"Good! you are getting your memory back," The paramedic tells her and mom
shoots me a re.
I am in so much shit.
The police arrive and ask the paramedic if they can question Avery. The paramedics rmend questioning her in hospital as it can upset or trigger her.
I take the officer to the corner and
ask him for his observation. He''set Slike a typical car csa
hijack case. I think he just wanted to grab her expensive car. Because her car is
gone."
"Why would he attack her then? She was sure he was following her."
"We will know more once we see the footage."

The officers continue with their investigation and take my number to contact me
questioning.
As we are about to leave for the hospital, Mom pulls me in a corner.
"We will meet at breakfast tomorrow. Don''t skip this time Miles," she says with a warning in her
tone.
Fucking great. Now she will think I am sleeping around and giving fake names to
girls.
She will certainly ask me why I wanted to go with her in the ambnce.
Good thing I have the whole night to make a believable story.
The only problem is- it''s hard to lie in front of her.
So I usually lie by omission.
As I sit next to her in the ambnce and wonder to myself, Why did Ie here?

Wasn''t I the type who doesn''t get involved with girls?
But she doesn''t know who I am. I reason myself but that''s an absurd excuse.
Why is my urge to be around her getting stronger?
"Why did you say I was Family?" She asks and I smile.
"Are you eager to y my husband already?" Iugh.
"I don''t want my face stered all over the news Avery.." I tell her and she frowns.
"hmmm I think even M wouldn''t like that," she mumbles to herself and my lips
twitch.
When we reach the hospital, the doctors do her routine checkup and I ask Liam to
inform her family
about her whereabouts.
They will swarm the hospital in no time. I think to myself and sigh. I guess I should
leave once they
arrive.
Then a realization dawns on me.
If she was attacked, the attacker could try to do it again at the hospital too. The
thought makes me
ufortable.
I will have to do something about it.
