4 Disbelief

"What did you ask me again?" Lizzy sounded furious. "I thought I told you I worked at the airport." She looked at him straight in the eye with her face telling how mad she was about this whole situation. "You never said anything like that." Davis sounded so sure and I bet you didn't read it anywhere either.

"Yes, I did. Or maybe I didn't. I work there, that's all I'm saying." Her anger had turned to confusion. "What do you do at the airport?" He was still on her. "Hey, I don't need to discuss my personal business with you. I'm starting to get uncomfortable with you around. Can you leave my house?"

"Okay, okay I'm sorry." He realized that he had become too invasive and loud. "I don't know you, and I don't know what is going on with you but I am not interested. You cannot stay here, I hope that's clear. I have given you till morning to leave." Lizzy was decided on this matter. She was feeling unsafe.

"Honestly I don't know where to go or what to do. I know that I promised to be nice but broke it already. Please give me one more chance, I know no one here." He began pleading. "What do you mean you know no one?" She wasn't sure she knew how to handle Davis's last words.

"It's a long story." His tone went from 100 to 0 in an instance. "I got all the time in the world." She poured herself some juice and went to her bed. "Are you going to stand on that kitchen door forever or will you come to tell me what' going on." She made it clear that he had no choice.

In an attempt to secure a place to stay, Davis decided that he will share whatever was going on with Lizzy. "Okay, please don't freak out. I know this will sound unbelievable but it's the truth." He wasn't sure how she would take his story. To some extent, it sounded very scary and maybe she'd freak out.

After a lot of thought, he told Lizzy about his discovery of having lost 32 days of his memories, how he remembers nothing about the previous night, and how he thought that she was the only one who'd give him the help he needed mainly because she is the only person he knew there.

"Wait, what!" she couldn't believe whatever she was hearing. "I don't think I heard you correctly or maybe I'm dreaming. Are you sure you are okay? You need to go see a doctor." She told him as she stood with fright and headed to the kitchen. Davis wasn't sure what she was feeling.

"I told you. You wouldn't understand." He followed her.

"How do you expect me to believe that you woke up in my bed thirty days after going to a club? How did you get here? You must be mental Davis. You need help. And what place is Theo? I have never heard of it." Lizzy got scared.

"Let me call you a doctor to come see you, maybe you are just sick." She was afraid.

"Wait, do I frighten you?" Davis asked her while she was facing the wall in her kitchen. She turns back at him with a knife in his hand.

"I don't want to hurt you. Please leave my house." Lizzy was shaking at this point. She was afraid that she was dealing with a man with mental issues that could snap at her at any point.

"Hey, Woah, Woah! There is no need for that. I'm not psycho you have to see that." Davis was getting afraid too.

"Okay then, if you are not, then leave my house." Lizzy was not joking with him.

"Hey, please put the knife down, I can't hurt you." He tried getting close to her.

"What were you doing at the airport that night looking like you were escaping from someone? Are you here to hurt me?" She pointed the knife towards him. "Please leave my house or I will use this." She was serious.

"Hey, calm down. I promise I won't…"

"Leave my house, now!" Things had gotten out of hand at this point. Davis tried calming her down but she was furious and frightened.

"Okay, fine. I'm leaving." Before he even stepped outside, he heard police sirens. "You called the cops on me?" He dashed out quickly.

The neighbors were all out looking at him. He knew that there was nowhere he could go. In a second the police were in the apartment and were heading straight to the sixth floor. Davis thought of running but knew that that may land him into bigger problems and so he waited for them.

They came to the sixth floor and asked him who he was and what he was doing there. He had no answer and was forced to go to the station in cuffs. At least he knew where he was going this time. He never spoke to the men in grey until they reached the station and he was put in a cell.

He spent the entire time, thinking about what he will say to the police to make him leave. He knew that his story was not a believable one. He was in a dilemma. He thought to himself that telling the police the truth would help his situation or would land him in more problems. He was confused.

He was called out by one of the policemen and was told that he had a right to making one call since he did not want to speak to them.

"Make sure to tell whoever you were calling what you were doing at that lady's house." The officer made sure to keep him tensed. However, Davis declined the call. Before getting back to the cell he told himself that maybe his friends had finally managed to switch their phones on. "I want to make the call." He looked back at the officer.

"Ow, you are talking now?" He handed him the phone and told him that he had only two minutes so he should be fast.

The phones were still switched off. He was getting mad and frustrated by the universe. He must have snatched the puppet master his girlfriend. He was dragged back to his cell where he sat in silence. Pondering about the weird situations he kept on getting himself in ever since he woke up.

He wasn't sure how things would play out, because if he went to court the next morning, he didn't even know what he would say because he couldn't even explain how he got to this new country neither did he have any idea about the laws of the country so that he could prepare himself.

How would you get out of such a situation? Not knowing anyone else in the country apart from the one person that would accuse him of trespassing and becoming a threat to her safety. He did not know what to do. At this point, he wished he was a toddler with his parents still looking out for him. He was alone.

It could have been better if he was back in Theo. Davis decided that he would say his truth in court the next day, disregarding the consequences of his speech. After all, he had nothing else that would explain his behavior. However, he did not know that come that morning, he would be surprised.
