Remember Me

Chapter Three

*The Next Morning*

Cheryl's POV:
I hadn't slept at all the night before  but could you blame me? I just found out that my wife forgot who I was. Not exactly an easy pill to swallow. I forced myself to get up out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, took a shower washed my face and put on a little makeup. I then picked out my outfit which I tried to put effort into as a distraction. I picked out a red button up blouse and some black jeans with red ankle boots.

*Some Time After Breakfast*

Nina's POV:
We had finished breakfast a little while ago and I noticed mom was trying to act happy and confident like she normally is but I could tell she wasn't. It was like she had lost apart of herself. I didn't really understand what was happening to mom all I knew was that she didn't know who I was or anyone really. I could tell that made Rose and mom upset. It made me upset to. I had always wanted to be a photographer like my mom. She said she would teach me how to take good photos and stuff when I got a little older but now I'm worried that might never happen.

Cheryl's POV:
I took the girls to school. Neither of them wanted to go but they needed to go it was important plus I needed time to go find a job and I didn't want to worry the girls with financial issues. But before I went to look for a job I had to go visit Toni.

*At the Hospital*

I walked through the attomatic doors of the hospital and into the elevator and went up to Toni's room. I got to the door and stopped. I just couldn't go in because if I did I knew that it would all be reality. It wasn't just a bad dream it was real. But I had to do it, I had to except the fact and the fact was that my wife had forgotten me and Nina and Rose. I took a deep breath and walked in, she was asleep so I sat down in the chair sitting in the corner by the widow. I held my head in my hand and just started shaking in back and fourth. Ch- Our life wasn't supposed to be like this. I wispered quitely to myself. What am I gonna do. I don't know how I'm gonna raise the girls and keep the house and I have know Idea what I'm gonna do without Toni or if she will ever remember again and it scared me. Just as I was about to start full on crying, Toni woke up. I wiped the tears that had managed to fall and sat up straight. Ch- Your up. T- Umm, yeah. How long have you been hear? Ch- I just got hear a couple of minutes ago. T- Oh.... umm could you remind me of your name again? Ch- Oh umm yeah, my names Cheryl. I felt like someone had just ripped out my heart. She didn't even remember my name. Ch- How are you feeling? T- I'm doing better, but I will still have to stay in hear for a while until I get fully better. Than I don't know where I'm gonna go. I don't remember if I have a house or not or anything just my name. Ch- I can tell you a little about your life if you want? T- Yeah that would be nice, just... go slow like I said I don't remember anything. Ch- Yeah ok. So I'm your wife we have been married for a while, we have a house together and two beautiful and amazing daughters, there names are Nina and Rose. And your a photographer. T- wait I'm a mom? Ch- Yes you are, and our oldest daughter Nina, she always said she wanted to be a photographer just like you. T- Wow. Ch- Yeah...

Jughead was your bestfriend and you were pretty good friends with Betty's bestfriend Veronica. T- wow it sounds like we had the perfect life. Ch- Yeah we pretty much did. Up until... T- The car accident and I lost my memory. Ch- Yeah.... There was a thick moment of akward silence. I wanted to tell her more and to take her home and for her to start to get her memories back. But I knew it wouldn't be that simple I knew it would take time. I also knew there was a chance she may never remember. But I had to have hope that she would because that's the only thing that's keeping me going right now. Ch- Look, I know this is probably a lot to take in, and there is so much more I want to tell you but I also want to give you time to process this so, I'm going to go, but I will be back tommorow to talk.
