Defiention of Lost

Jasmine and Jacob in love ... and then ...

        My whole life began and ended two years ago. Jacob and I had known of each other since we were really young, but we personally didn’t know each other. Everything was fantastic, just going perfect, but all relationships have problems. I didn’t realize it would be like it was though.

         I sat at the edge of the lake, like I do every morning. I starred off into the magnificent sunrise, thinking...thinking about Jacob, I loved him so much, even though he had no idea of my feelings for him but to no surprise we faded apart.

        The day we spent time together for the first time in ages, I realized I was truly in love with him. Blind to everything in the world but him, this was truly love at first sight. I took one glance at him and knew he, Jacob, was the one I would spend the rest of my life with.

          "Today," he said, "I will make this the most unforgettable day of your life." He grabbed my hand and sprinted out side to his old ford truck. "My lady," he gestured to the open door, helping me up. "Thank you very much," I thanked him with the biggest grin on my face. Leaping into the car, he handed me a blindfold, he insisted I put it on so that it was a surprise as to where he was taking me. It was a long drive, soon I was getting a little bit nervous, but as I heard his calming voice, immediately my nervousness was overcome by excitement.

          The long drive soon ended as the car pulled off the road. I reached up about to remove the blindfold. "NO! Please don't do that Jazz, it will ruin my surprise." I giggled to his seriousness but reluctantly I kept it on. He raced around the car to my door. As he opened the door I turned my body sideways to face him, with one strong gesture, he grabbed me around my waist and lifted me down to the ground.

          I was falling in love, and all I could do is stand there and smile. He grabbed my hand and led me down a path. It sounded wonderful, seagulls singing in the distance, the crash of waves on the shore. Not wanting to ruin Jacob’s surprise I kept my mouth shut. Once we reached the end of the path he lifted me up and carried me to a seat, where he then set my down.

           "Okay Jazz, are you ready?" Not being able to speak, I just nodded my head. I was breathless. I stood up and walked around, turning in a full 360. Nobody was in sight, just him and me. I was standing in a little beach house with no walls, just curtains for privacy. In the middle of there was and over sized hammock with a small nightstand next to it. But that was just the least of my amazement, it was stunning, the view. We were on a beach with warm, soft sand that stretched miles on either side of us. In front of us was the calm, beautiful, blue ocean meeting the multicolored horizon. Now that it was almost nightfall, the sky was absolutely breathtaking.

"Jacob. Oh my gosh! This is magnificent!" I exclaimed with joyful tears in my eyes. I ran over to him and swung my arms around him. He lifted me up and spun me around. "I'm so glad you like it." Jacob had a huge grin on his face! "I have something for you," he said so mysteriously, "I'll be right back though, it’s in my truck." As he sprinted up to his truck I just stood their taking in the beauty.

When he came back he was in swim trunks, and a button down shirt. Holding a bikini in one hang and I towel in another he handed it to me. "Here, I thought we could go swimming thought it would be fun, don’t you think? You can go change behind those curtains, I'll be waiting for you on the beach," and with that he walked out to give me privacy. I changed into the bikini and went outside to meet him.

After hours of swimming and splashing around in the water having fun it started to get dark, so he took my hand and we started walking down the beach. We were talking about everything and anything. We were just laughing and having a wonderful time. After walking till one in the morning he drove me home, he told me we should do that again sometime. I agreed. After he left I fell asleep soundly, and dreamt of him that night.

The next couple days I didn’t want to seem too anxious and call him, so I waited... The first time I called him, it went to voicemail, so I left him a message. After a week went by I called and I couldn't reach him. I was a little disappointed by then, but I didn’t give up hope, I was determined to see him. Soon after a couple months went by, I tried any number under his name, not wanting to lose him. After six months I realized, I was probably never going to talk to him or see him ever again. I cried my eyes out for days, and became severely depressed after a while, it went so far that I didn’t know what was going on around me and I was just planning on letting my life take its course, though I was wishing to die. I had just lost my first real love.

Vaguely I heard voices, I felt uncomfortable and out of place. I didn’t understand where I was or what was going on. I was lying down, and I couldn’t see, the bed was very stiff and cold. I felt like I couldn’t move, nor could I understand what people were saying.

I sat up, my vision; although it was blurry it was beginning to come back. Where was I? The room it was simple; a bed, a chair and a sink. The walls were painted dark purple, rather dirty looking, and the floor was just plain wood.

"Good morning Jazz. How are today?" a young woman walked into the room and asked. I didn’t know how to answer seeming she already knew my name, yet I had no clue to who she was. "Hello. Umm, I’m good, thank you. Can you tell me where I am please, and how do you know my name?" The most shocked look came across the women’s face. "I, uh. Jazz, hold on," and with the she took off out the door with tears in her eyes.

I was completely and utterly confused. What is this and where am I? Why did she act so strange? I stood up slowly and started pacing around the room. Brushing my hand against the wall, it was cold it felt so un-natural. Strangely, I noticed for the first time a small, square window on the far wall, opposite my bed. I walked over to it. My reflection I saw in it, I was scarcely pale, my eyes that used to be a dark blue are now a pale gray, my hair still the same length, and color; dark brown, looked well kept which I found strange because I cant seem to remember doing anything with it.

Not knowing what else to do, I decided to leave my room and find out what was going on.

I opened the door slowly, not knowing what to expect. A cluster of people, all wearing the same thing: dark green work shirts and jeans all stood inside a room just across the hall. One glance at me, and they shut the door. The hall was plain and simple, just like my room, dark purple walls and wood floor. The hall was a long; there were doors on each side. I noticed a sign on the door across the hall, when I got closer to see what it said the door opened.

"Do you mind, stay away!" One of the women from the group of people in green stood in the door starring at me, looking at me just as rudely as she talked to me. I was shocked.

"What, where am I? What is this?" I said. "Good day," the women said and slammed her door in my face. Completely baffled I began to walk down the hall, look at each of the doors. It felt like I was getting nowhere, everything was the same.

"JAZZ! Come here. Jazz." Running down the hall behind me was the same young lady who walked into my room earlier. Grabbing my arm she led me down the hall while shaking her head.

We walked for a bit until she led me into a room. There was a whole table of people there, mostly men in business suits; there were only three women. The room was huge with high ceilings, white brick walls and cement floor.

"Can any of you tell me where I am and what’s going on?" I asked, desperate for an answer now. "Jazz Lamina? You will be released tomorrow. Gather all your stuff and we will take you home. You may not be told and you may not try to find out where you are now. This is rare, and we understand you are confused, but in cases like this our security is crucial."

With that two men led me back to my room. Once I was alone again, I started balling my eyes out I curled up on my bed and started screaming and crying uncontrollably. I started digging my nails into my arms; I thought this could not be happening it was not possible.

When I re-gained control of my self I lay in bed starring out my window. Soon enough I feel fast asleep.
