Chapter 13

[Dan's POV]

"What?.. I'm Dan, remember?" My lip shakes.

Phil stares blankly at me, no hint of recognition in his features. I let go of him and step back in horror. He doesn't remember me at all, even though he's the most important person in the world to me. My eyes start to water and I look down at the floor.

"I'm your boyfriend, Dan Howell" I try to say, though it comes out as barely a whisper. Phil shakes his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't recall"

"Do you remember me?" His mum asks nervously.

"Of course, you're my mother!" He laughs. She smiles weakly at me.

"And that's Nurse Stevie" he nods at her "she's pretty good looking to be honest"

My jaw nearly hits the floor. This can't be happening. Phil remembers nothing and he's flirting with a skanky nurse? What's happening?

"Phil..." I start.

"You're not so bad yourself" Nurse Stevie smirks.

Phil throws his head back in laughter and I feel a pang of jealousy.

"This can't be happening" I sob "this can't be true" I turn on my heel and run out of the hospital. I find a bench under a tree outside of the premises and decide to sit down for a little while.
I've never felt so many emotions at once. Sadness because of being forgotten, anger towards Steve, disgust towards Nurse Stevie and there's a feeling I can't quite work out. It's like my heart has been torn out of my chest, twisted around and around before stabbed and put back. I try to let my feelings out through tears, but nothing happened. I sat in silence, trying to think of anything but Phil.

I pull out my phone, along with my earphones and go to my music. A notification tab at the top of the screen falls down and it obviously had to be "AmazingPhil tweeted 'some random guy claimed to be my boyfriend :/' "

I decide to ignore his tweet and I press shuffle. Obviously Fall Out Boy start playing. It actually pretty comforting. My body sways back and forth in time and I hum along. I remain this way for half an hour before a brunette comes and sits beside me. Her curly hair is messy and it tumbles down her back. She's wearing an oversized tshirt with My Chemical Romance lyrics on it. Her ripped jeans are worn and her boots are scruffed up at the toe. She looks pretty bad but I don't say anything, I'm not that kind of person.

"Hey" she smiles at me.

"Hi" I weakly smile back before carrying on humming.

"Are you alright?" She asks. This girl is very nice and well spoken, but I still don't want to talk to her.

"Not really, what about you?" I ask out of pure politeness.

"As okay as I'll ever be" she nods.

"So what's your name?" I ask, suddenly realising how much I needed to talk to someone.

"Georgia-Anne, or just Georgie" she shrugs "what's your's?"

"Daniel, or just Dan" I joke.

"Well hello Just Dan" she laughs. This Georgie doesn't seem to bad.

"So you like MCR?" I ask, gesturing to her shirt.

"Yeah, they are the Kings of music!" she shrugs.

"I know right!" I agree.

"Do you like Fall Out Boy?" She asks and I feel like doing a backflip off of the bench.

"HELL YES!" I shout "I mean, yeah, I love them"

"So do I" Georgie laughs. Her phone starts to ring so she pulls out her cheap Nokia phone. When she sees the caller ID she smiles so brightly it makes me smile too.

"Hello love!" Georgie basically sings. She talks for a while, as I listen to music and watch her smiles, before hanging up.

"That was my girlfriend, Lou" she smiles.

"You're a lesbian?" I ask, I don't know why I'm so surprised.

"Bi, but I have a girlfriend right now" she replies cooly.

"Oh, great" I smile.

"I'm hoping you're not homophobic" she laughs.

"I'm not, in fact I'm homosexual" I laugh with her.

"Really? Do you have a boyfriend?" She asks, looking curious.

"Yes.. No... Sort of" I sigh "complicated"

"Tell me about it?" I would usually say no, especially since she's a stranger. I barely like sharing my feelings at the best of times, but I want to get this off of my chest.

"Well it started..." I tell her about how I found Phil, about the kiss, the phone call, Steve, the Nurse and the forgetting. She doesn't say anything while I'm taking, if she wasn't nodding at every sentence I would probably think she was ignoring me.

"Well this sounds really bad" she states the obvious.

"You don't say" I roll my eyes, but laugh.

"Hey, I didn't finish" she punches my shoulder, laughing along "you guys sound cute together, take it slow, earn back his trust. Don't force him to remember things, try making new memories?"

"I'll try" he won't remember the kiss, the videos, protecting me from Peej... Peej. I have an idea...

"I have to go now" I smile at Georgie.

"Sure, but first can I get your number?" She asks.

"Erm, what about Lou and Phil?" I ask.

"I mean as a friend" she laughs "I prefer Lou, sorry"

We exchange numbers before I make my way to the shopping centre we met Peej at. Lolzor.
