A Forgotten Memory

Some memories remembered?

Aiden's POV

"Of course" he replies, leaving the room. I sigh loudly, laying my head against the pillow. Why can't I remember anything? I can't even tell my own boyfriend I love him because I can't remember him! Tears of frustration begin to grow in my eyes as I pick up my phone. Pressing the home button, I look at the picture of Adam and I. We looked so happy. So in love. I lay the phone back in my lap as a knock comes from the door across from me. I look up as a girl with brown hair walks in. "Um? Can I help you?" I ask, confused.

Was she someone from my past that I can't remember? Adam didn't say anything about a girl except one that had to do with my kidnapping. Something was off about her. Without looking, I unlock my phone and call Adam. I turn the volume all the way down. Finally Adam answers the phone while the girl starts to speak. "Aiden. I'm here to deliver a message" she snarls at me. My heart rate increases as the girl slowly walks to me slowly. "Don't forget that we're still here. We will finish the job. You will end up 6 feet under. In time Adam will be mine again and you will be dead" the girl says in a gruesome tone. I feel myself start to shake.

"Who are you?" I question, looking at her face. She smirks and slaps me hard across the face. "You don't remember do you?" she questions. I shake my head in disapproval which causes her to laugh. "Dawn" she replies before turning and walking fast out of the room. I sat in place in utter shock. About a minute later, Adam comes running into the room, looking at me. "Aiden are you okay? Did she hurt you? Was that Dawn?" he asks, rushing up to me. I continued to stare at my lap as Adam takes my hand.

"They're still here. They're going to kill me and she's going to take your heart away from me. Before I even have the chance of remembering" I whisper, tears spilling from my eyes. His eyes grow as anger spreads across his face. Ever so gently, it disappears to love. "Shh Aiden it's alright. I won''t leave again I promise" he reassures me, wiping away my tears gently. He slowly slides his hand down to my chin, holding my face in his hand.

This action sends electricity running through my veins. I blush and smile, leaning into his hand. He's so protective and caring. Maybe he really does love me. I hold out my hand to him as he takes it happily. I slowly interlock our fingers which causes his face to light up. A sudden realization hits him as he looks at my face, seeing a hand print. "Did she hit you?" he questions, his voice beginning to fill with worry. I slowly nod as he leans up and kisses my stinging cheek. "They will not take you away from me again Aiden. As long as you're in my arms, you're safe" he whispers.

I smile back at him before laying my head down with a sigh. "What's wrong?" he questions, becoming curious. "I just wish I could remember" I whimper, rubbing my thumb across the back of his hand. He smiles and nods. He gently pulls my hand to him, kissing it gently. I blush and look away, smiling. He makes me so happy even when I have no memory of him whatsoever. "Knock knock" a voice calls, walking into the room. I move my head to face them, afraid it was Dawn coming back. Someone else from my past if I was to guess. He didn't look at all familiar.

"Aiden? Do you not remember me either?" he questions, smiling a bright smile. I shake my head, feeling bad. I can't imagine how terrible they feel. I'm in their lives one second then the next I don't even remember who they are. "I'm Alex, your co-worker" he replies causing me to nod. "I'm sorry" I say, looking down at my lap. I hate having to let people down like that. Especially when one is in love with me.

"Aiden" Adam whispers, tilting my head up to look at him. "This is not one bit your fault. Don't ever believe that. Just let your mind keep at peace" he adds. I nod slowly and sigh. After talking to Alex a bit, I realize how funny and how nice he is. Adam has yet to leave my side, as promised, and has also held my hand this entire time. Anytime I look down at our hands my stomach fills with butterflies along with my face turning red. He eventually left, which caused me to sit in the room with Adam watching football. Oh joy. Nothing better than putting a guy in front of a TV when he isn't allowed to yell at the TV.

Another knock comes from the other side of the room as a young looking guy with glasses walks in. Adam grabs the TV remote and turns off the tv, smiling bigger than normal. The guy holds a guitar in one hand and pulls up a chair with the other. "Who are you?" I ask, confused. "Tyler. We're friends. Aiden if you don't mind I'm going to sing you a song that hopefully will help you remember some" he replies. I nod, laying my head back while Adam just sits next to me with a smile plastered to his face. He slowly begins to strum the guitar, singing.

I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch

You'll never catch us
So just let me be
Said I'll be fine
Till the hospital or American Embassy
Miss Flack said I still want you back
Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back

I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of
Is the way I'm the one
Who charmed the one
Who gave up on you
Who gave up on you

He stops and looks at me as my eyes grow wide. I sang that when he first appeared. I remember Tyler. "Tyler! I remember you!" I exclaim happily. Adam gaped happily at me, kissing my hand.  Tyler smiles big and walks to me, hugging me gently. "Do you remember Ty? Adam? Alex?" he asks. I look over at Adam and shake my head sadly.

"I only remember you because that was how we first met. It was a special thing between you and I that's why it was so easy for me to remember you" I explain. He sighs and nods. "I think you have had enough racket for one day. If you need anything you have my number.  For now, get some rest" he instructs. "Thank you Tyler" Adam says, graciously. I may not remember Adam, but, he is still happy I have some memories back. How did I find such an amazing guy? My eyelids suddenly begin to become heavy as I slowly nod, yawning.
