Losing Your Memory

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

I was pushing my shopping cart through the grocery store. I hated how on shopping carts the wheels always made that weird squeaking sound, like nails scrapping on a black board. I hated how grocery stores were always freezing. Basically I hated grocery stores, until I saw her. I headed over to where she was, fruit and veg section. I picked up an avocado and started examining it.

"Did you know there are over 500 different varieties of the avocado?" I said while looking down at her.

"No I didn't..." She said completely lost in thought while scanning through the section.

"Yeah... Did you know the Aztec word for avocado is testicle tree?"

She turned her head and looked up at me, "Did you just say testicle tree?" She asked while giggling.

"Yes.... So what brings you to the grocery store?" I asked while placing the avocado back on the shelf.

"Just buying the essentials.. Ya know things that will keep me living." She said while rolling her eyes at me.

"Ok, ok" I said while backing away raising my hands up in defeat.

"God I'm sorry" she puffed out, "It's just that I've been looking for candles and can't seem to find them..."

"Well I don't think candles will be in the fruit and veg section of the store."

"Yeah I figured that" she said.

"How bout I go ask one of the employees here were I can find them?" I said. She nodded her head yes and I was off.

I walked up to the register and asked the cashier were I could find any candles.

"Well we don't sell candles here but you could check next door." He said

"Alright thanks dude!" I said while patting his shoulder.

I ran to the store right next door and a matter of fact they did have candles. I didn't know which color candles she wanted so I just bought each color they sold. I sprinted out of the store back to the entrance of the grocery store. I saw her exiting the store.

"Hey I got you your candles!" I exclaimed thrusting the bag towards her.

She jumped, "Jesus you scared the hell out of me!" She said while whacking me on the chest.

"Ow" I said while rubbing my chest, "take your candles."

She took the bag and looked inside of it.

"Oh my gosh, you know you didn't have to do that?" She said questioningly.

"Ya I know" I said smiling.

"Thank you, um.. You never told me your name." She said.

"Harry"

"I'm Rae"

I abruptly sat up in my hospital bed. I was dripping sweat. Realizing that what seemed to be real was all just a dream. I laid back down and waited for sleep to consume me once again.
