꧁ Josephine's POV ꧂

I was ready for a cold welcoming from Martha and Titan but I was hoping that they would be a bit happy to see me back again, still caring about Hero after an year.
"I'm here for you son." George says and then I realise that Hero wasn't talking to me.
"And who told you that you could come?" he asks clinging his jaw.
"Hero why are you talking like that?" Martha asks.
"Did you two had another fight?" I ask George.
"Because he fucking left us?" Hero asks to her mother rhetorically.

He gets interrupts but someone other entering in the crowed room.
Scarlett, now well known as Sophie.
she immediately notices my presence.
"Josephine? What are you doing here?" she asks aiming her eyes on me looking at me under her wet eyelashes.
I see her run her eyes on my body, of course noting my weight loss like Mercy and Martha did, that's why they were that shocked.
She changed her hair again. Now they are red and short.

"The same thing that you are doing." I say trying to not exaggerate since the real priority is Hero right now.
"Scar here you're, late as your usual." Hero says giggling and she takes her eyes off me.
"I know I'm so sorry but it's poring outside." Scarlett says and I see Mercy roll her eyes.
Mercy sits on the edge of the bed while we all are standing watching at them while I feel some jealousy seeing how good they bonded during this last year.
"You made me have an heart attack ." she whispers out enough to let me hear it.
She gets closer to Hero, she leans toward him, she places her hands on his cheeks and I see Martha looking at me like she's preoccupied about a my reaction.
I get back to them and their lips are glued to each other.
I inhale violently catch off guard.

They- They- They are... in a relationship.

I exhale out loud, placing a hand on my stomach feeling a huge pain.
"Josephine are you all right?" George asks me.
"Yes, don't worry." I whisper to him standing up correctly.
"Bloody hell Scar, I know that you were scared for me but kiss me in the mouth its too much... don't you think?" Hero asks giggling and everyone changes their face expressions .
"What do you mean?" Scarlett asks standing up from the bed with a cracked voice.

"Wait." mercy says reaching to me.
"Do you know who she is?" Mercy asks pointing at me and staring at his brother.
"It's a your new friend? " he asks looking at me as a stranger to him.
I stop breathing, my body tuns to a stone, my posture is so rigid.
I feel the sweat take place in my back while my vision is getting unfocused.
"H-Hero you don't remember who she is?" Mercy asks again while the room is getting dark for few seconds and my vision gets back.
"No, who she is?"He asks starting to get a bit worried getting what is going on.
I lean down placing my hands on my knees, and opening my mouth trying to breathe more oxygen while I feel my chest gettighten.
He doesn't remember about me, about us. He removed everything.

I get dizzier and dizzier before my legs let my weight go so I fall to the ground.
I place my back on the white wall that is in front of Hero's bed.
"Josephine." George leans down with his heels on his butt.
I see his unfocused worried face while from my mouth are getting out loud and heavy breathings that could be heard from the outside the door.
I try to blink to get my vision back to normal but it just get worst.
"Mercy call doctor." Hero orders to her sister.
"G-Gor-ge ta-tak-e m-e ou-t.." I tell him though my tears and my panic while my mind is becoming fuzzy.
"Yep." he says immediately rising my arm and wrapping it around his shouldered lifting me up. I try to help him trying to walk a little bit but I don't feel my legs.
when we get in hall way I see all black, my head is swinging to sides.
"A doctor!" I can hear him yell while i hear some quick steps running to us.
With my blackish vision I see a nurse and Mercy running to me.
"Hey hey hey, what's going on?" a sweet and kind female voice says.
"Pa-nick a-tt-" I try to say while I feel tears falling as I'm straggling again. i wasn't having a panic attack in months.
"A panic attack so just breathe, breathe with me." I hear the kind voice suggest me and right after ai feel some warm and soft hands take my hands.
"Breathe. Breathe and breathe. Don't worry if it seams that you aren't breathing enough, you are doing good." I say

"Take this" Mercy says handing my a paper cup with the hospital logo on it. I look inside and is water.
"Thanks." I say still having that horrible feeling of my chest getting tighter.
I look up and I find everyone staring at me with their hands crossed on their chest.
The doctor finally gets out from that damn room.
"So what happened to my son?" Martha asks him already on the edge of tears.
He starts with explaining with words that only doctors can understand.
"Can you explain it with human words pleas?" Scarlett asks while I hear my heartbeat in my ears.
"Miss, your son lost his memory." He says and at him words the cup falls on the ground while Martha splashes her hand on her mouth.
"W-What do you mean he lost his memory?" Mercy asks.
"Wait, he will be able to remember?" Martha asks while I'm starting to feel another panic attack coming.
I stand up.
"Where are you going?" George asks worried.
"I can't do this George." I whisper to him on the edge of a real mental breakdown. Just the thought of the fact that his mind removed not just the last year that he spent with Scarlett I suppose but he also removed our moments, our first meeting, our second and all the other things like our initial fights, the jealousy, our first kiss, the Scarlett thing, the pandemic, our quarantine, the purchase of our home, the purchase of the furniture.
He also don't remember a thing about Christian, Eleanor or even about Nathan that he initially hated and then loved or about my sister or about the little Elle.
The doesn't remember about being part of the Liverpool team...

For him is like I  never existed for him. I'm a stranger info a possible Mery's new friend.
"I can't. I'm sorry." I say picking my bag up and walking fast to the exit without looking nobody in their eyes.
