Make It With You

36

The doctor started checking her vital signs and breathing. Her heartbeat is getting slower and there's no improvement. He said while shaking his head.

Her mom cried again while her dad is comforting her.

How long do you think will it take for her to wake up? Her dad asked worriedly.

We don't know sir, her vitals is getting weaker. There's no improvement for these past months. The doctor replied flatly. The wounds on her head are severe, that's the main reason it's taking very long for her to wake up or if she does. The doctor added.

A few days later

Suddenly my eyes opened. I frowned because I don't know where I am. What happened? I asked myself. I sat straight and look around, the tv and PlayStation are open, the guitar is placed beside my bed. I jumped off the bed and screamed in pain afterward.

Fucking hurts! I didn't notice my arm is connected to dextrose, I pulled the needle out of my arms and it started to bleed. I wiped it using my shirt and started to walk.

Fuck! I said frowning when I realized that it was my room. I don't know what's gotten into them to let my room these messy. They know that I hate it.

Mom! Dad! I called but there is no response. I woke up like this and there is no one around. I muttered while looking outside the glass window. Am I in Korea? I asked myself confused.

I know this scene! I mumbled before running to the door and locking it.

There might be a zombie outside! I watched the 28 Days After the movie and this is exactly what happened. I jumped on the couch and looked at the surrounding using a telescope.

There are no people around.

Mom! Dad! I yelled but again there is no response.

Fuck, I just woke up with the mother of all headaches and now I'm gonna be a zombie. I said groaning before I started to think.

After a while, I stood up and change my clothes. I don't want to look bad when I fight the zombies or if ever I'd become one.

I need weapons! I headed to the game room because I have collections of knives and swords there.

I choose the katana and held it firmly.

This is it. I said before running out from the game room.

I gazed around when I am on the stairs, the whole house is silent. I scooted lightly to avoid making noise, I was about to open the front door when I heard footsteps.

Fuck. I mumbled nervously. I can hear the footstep getting closer.

I positioned my katana ready to hit when the knob twisted.

Zombies these days are smart. I said mentally. I don't wanna die without fighting and I am gonna make sure that I'll put a good fight. I am a gold medalist in taekwondo when I was in grade school.

Haaaaaa!!! I screamed when the door suddenly opens, I am about to hit whoever it is when I recognized her.

Waaaaa!!!! She screamed and fell to the ground.

Mina, dude! I called her to calm her down.

Monica? She asked in disbelief and trembling.

Yes, it's me. I said helping her to get up. Why am I in Korea? I asked her curiously. I am supposed to be in NYC right now. I added.

What's with the katana? She asked me curiously as well.

I thought there is no people around and the zombies are everywhere. I said flatly showing her again the katana.

Zombies? She asked confused.

I took back the katana in the game room instead of explaining. Mina is following me and I heard her calling my parents and Joseph.

Joseph is here too? I asked her.

Why are you asking me things that you know already? She asked me back.

I am asking because I don't know. I said annoyed massaging my temple. Then suddenly, I collapsed.

I woke up with a terrible headache. I noticed my mom and dad are crying as well as Joseph and Mina.

Why are you here Joseph? And why everyone is crying? I asked in a hoarse voice.

We are just happy that you're awake now honey. My mom said.

How do you feel? The doctor asked.

Terrible headaches. I replied quickly.

Follow my fingers. The doctor instructed. Good, good. Then squeezed my hands. The doctor added.

Everything is fine, her heart is strong. Her ct scan shows that her brain is already healed. It is normal to have a headache. It will slowly disappear in a few more days.

What happened? I asked confused.

What did you remember? The doctor asked me back.

I am in New York, teaching part-time in Julliard while studying my third year in business at Columbia University. I said. Why I am here in Korea? I asked.

Everyone gasped because of what I'd said.

Doctor, what is happening? My dad asked.

Your daughter might have partial amnesia. The doctor said.

I have amnesia? Why? What happened? I asked them.

What does it mean, doctor? My mom asked.

Amnesia may be partial, affecting only certain memories. Typically people with amnesia still know who they are but struggle to remember new information. It causes head and brain injury. The doctor explained.

How can we resolve it? My brother asked.

No medications are currently available for treating most types of amnesia. In most cases, amnesia resolves itself without treatment. The doctor said. In your sister's case, things that happened recently and information that should be stored into short-term memory disappear. This usually results from brain trauma, when a blow to the head causes brain damage. The doctor added.

Thank you, doctor. My parents said before the doctor leave.

So, can someone explain to me what happened? I looked at them and was about to cry.

I think you need to rest first, it may not good for your memory. We don't need to rush honey. My dad said.

No, dad. Please. I said pleading.

I was crying when I heard what happened to me. I moved to Korea almost 2 years now. I am the CEO of Yang Corporation and at the same time Yang Entertainment. I made friends here in Korea and probably have a potential girlfriend. I didn't ask for more details because my head starting to hurt. It's like 2-3 years of my life was gone because of the accident.

I just wish that I regain my memories tomorrow, I said before my eyes slowly closing.
