She's Mine

Memories

Hey everyone, were near the end now. Just one more chapter and an epilogue. It's crazy to imagine I started this story in the beginning of the year, and now it's almost over. I start university the day after the last chapter will be posted so wish me luck.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, have a good day and stay safe.

There's a ringing in Bellamy's ears. Disbelief leaking in with every second that passes. There's no way that Echo could have done it; she just moved here a couple of months ago, and the accident was last year.

"Octavia, are you sure?" Kane asks her sternly, wanting to be certain of this before any action can be taken.

The girl just nods. "It was Bellamy's friend. I saw her through the car window before everything went black. That's the last thing I remember."

"Ok." He sighs. "I'm going to go chat with mama and Abby outside, ok? You stay here with Bell, Clarke and Hope. Call us if you need anything."

He quickly ushers them out into the hallway, barely sparing a glance at the trio surrounding the girl's bed.

"I think it's safe to say that her memories are returning." Abby begins as soon as the door is firmly shut. "But I don't like the fact that they seem to be accompanied by seizures. That could be very dangerous, especially if she's alone or in the middle of something."

"So what do we do now?" Diyoza looks at the doctor warily.

"She'll still have that scan tomorrow, but other than that, we'll have to play by ear." Abby says resigned, not liking that they don't have a clear plan of action. "And if her claims are true..."

"We'll have a court case in our hands. They're both minors so it will be a closed case, no publicity, and she likely won't be needed to testify. I won't allow it, obviously, on health issues if the seizures are anything to go by."

Diyoza can only nod at Kane's words. Just like that, they're about to descend into hell once again.

"Also, do you have any idea if she's had any similar occurrences? Like blanking or spacing out?" Abby asks, trying to create a mental library of the young girl's situation.

"None that I know of." Diyoza sighs. "But maybe Bellamy, Clarke or Hope may have seen something."

Abby nods. "I'll go ask them. In the meantime, how about you get some food from the cafeteria? It's been a long day and the kids have school tomorrow."

They oblige the doctor, taking the lift to get some dinner for their family.

~~The next day~~

"Bellamy said she had a similar episode a couple of months ago, the day they took her to the park for the first time after the accident." Abby begins to explain. "She saw where the accident had taken place and just froze."

"Why didn't they say anything?" Diyoza asks worriedly, her concern for her daughter overpowering the need to be angry at said girl's brother.

"They thought it was nothing." Abby shrugs. "Keep in mind, they're only kids. They wouldn't have known what to look out for, or if something was wrong unless she tells them."

Diyoza can only slump into her seat. "How did the scan go?"

"It went well. There's no swelling and her brain isn't bleeding, so those are good signs. We might keep her a day or two longer for observation, because as you've said, she's never had a seizure before, and she suddenly had two in a day."

The mother just listens attentively, nodding at the doctor's words.

"We may start her on some antiepileptic medications just to be on the safe side. And you might want her as well as Bellamy and Hope to undergo some basic seizure training, just so they'd know what to do if it were to happen again."
