Forgotten

Jack's POV

There was a very bad pain in my forehead. I opened my eyes to see around. The room was white and there was a machine showing a constantly changing graph. I concentrated a bit and it was showing my heartbeat. My jaw was hurting too.

I felt someone's hand holding my left hand. I managed to sit up and saw a girl around my age holding my hand. She had blonde hair and she was beautiful. I managed to slip my hand out her grip. She slowly woke up from the sudden movement and noticed I was staring at her. Her eyes widen.

"Jack, you finally woke up," She said and pulled me into a hug without a warning. I was uncomfortable so I pulled her back.

"Are you feeling good now?" She asked again.

"Umm yeah but I have a question. Who are you?" She put her hand on her mouth.

"Oh my god," She said and ran out of the door.

She came after a few minutes with a doctor, a nurse and a lady who I recognised, my mom.

The nurse came and did a couple of tests. I saw my mom holding the girl.

"What's the last thing you remember, Jack?" The doctor asked. The last thing I remember....

"Umm I think I was in my room, crying because someone had left me"

"Who left you?" The doctor asked.

"I don't remember the name but she had red hair, yes I remember that only" The doctor looked at my mom.

"Yes, that girl's name is Emily" She answered. Yes, Emily. I remember now. I nodded at them.

"And how long ago did that happen," The doctor asked.

"2 years" My mom answered.

"Wait a second, 2 years. How?"

"Jack, you have Amnesia. It's an illness you get due to head injury in your case" The doctor replied.

"So that means I have forgotten everything that happened in the last 2 years."

"Yes, but you will recover them in 6-9 months or at least in a year."

"But what happened in the last two years?"

"You should rest now, your family will tell you everything later"

"But-"

"No buts, you rest now" My mother said. She came and hugged me and kissed my forehead. The girl was looking at me expecting me to say something. Who is she?

Time lapse~

I was going back to my house from the hospital. The doctor advised me to be on bedrest for a month till I recovered completely. But a question was still plugging me.

"Mom, the blonde girl at the hospital, do I know her?" My mom was driving the car, so she answered without turning back.

"Yes, she was your girlfriend" Girlfriend? How the heck that beautiful girl was my girlfriend? And was? If she was my girlfriend, then why was she at the hospital holding my hand? I had so many questions....

"She is coming to our house, you should ask her about what happened between you two." Now she is coming to our house. What is happening?

We reached home and I saw dad was waiting on the couch. He came and hugged me. I went to sit on the couch. My mom sat beside me but my dad had to attend a meeting on laptop, so he went to his room.

"Can you tell me now?" I asked.

"Wait for a few minutes, she should-"

"Why is she coming? I don't even know her"

"You don't remember her, that's why you are saying this."

"But you said we broke up, so why is she so important?"

"You'll see"

The bell rang and my mom opened the door. She entered and sat beside me. Her eyes were blue and I can't seem to remove my eyes from them. But I still don't know her name...

"Ok Anna, you start first." My mom said

"Ok Mrs. Smith. I don't think you remember me Jack, so let me introduce myself. I am Anna Garcia and I came to the school in the middle of grade 9th" She said looking at her feet. She was not meeting my eyes.

"And I think you should tell him what happened. As doctor said he will remember everything in 6-9 months, but I think he should know about it now." What happened between us?

"Ok"

"Mom, can we discuss this in my room. Please" I asked.

"Ok, you two discuss yourselves"

"Thanks mom"

We went upstairs to my room. Anna helped me walk because I seem to get dizzy when I try to walk. We went and sat on the bed. My room looked different than I remember the last time I saw it. Anna suddenly burst into tears. I think she was holding on while in front of my mom but now it was full on flood. She put her hand on her face. I don't know how to comfort her but l luckily I didn't have to. She smashed me in a hug and started crying on my shoulder.

"It's ok" I said. I couldn't say anything more than that to someone so broken. It felt like she had lost someone very close to her. It felt like I should know who that 'someone' was.

"No, it's not ok. It is all my fault. You shouldn't have been in this condition if only I had believed you."

"I don't know what happened but I think you did it for a reason. I must have done something"

"No, if you knew what happened then you would hate me and blame me for your condition"

"Did I blame you before I lost my memory"

"No"

"Then I will not blame you now" There was a pause. After a while she replied.

"I love you" She said looking straight at me. This time I have no response. When a girl says she loves you even when you don't know her (actually don't remember), you can't say you love her back. I don't even know how I feel about her. Yes, she is very beautiful and cute and anything that defines perfect, but I don't know how to respond to it.

Thankfully she understood my situation and didn't expect me to say it back but she did something that complicated the situation more for me. She kissed me. It was theoretically my first kiss but it didn't feel like it. It felt familiar and like she had kissed me before a lot to be exact. Do you also forget a feeling when you lose a memory? I don't think so.

"Remember anything?" She said pulling away.

"Nah" I said. I couldn't say more since I was lost in another planet.

"I think it only works in movies" She said biting her lips. I chuckled and she was laughing too.

"Will you tell me what happened?"

"Should I start from the beginning?"

"Umm yes"

She told me everything what happened from me cheating on her to me getting destroyed by Drake. And also Emily is back and she is also the reason this all happened to me. Anna reassured me that it was not Emily's fault and Drake used her. I started to hate this Drake guy by just hearing about what he did.

"Yes I know it's hard to believe but-"

"No, I believe it "

"Really but I am a stranger to you-"

"A stranger who kissed me" I smirked at her. She smiled.

"I say you holding my hand at the hospital. Did you spend all night in the hospital room?"

"Well I was there that every night, you woke up on 3rd day after surgery. I felt very guilty that I let all that happen to the person who cared about me the most" She said.

"So, what do we do?" I asked.

"Wait till your memory comes back I guess"

"But it might take a year, or there is a chance it might never come back"

"Don't say that"

"Well we can become friends now, like start from the very beginning" Her face lit up.

"I like this idea"

"Hi, my name is Jack" I said lending my hand for a handshake.

"Hi, my name is Anna, nice to meet you," She said shaking my hand.
