I wake up in a strange place. Surrounded by strange people.
"Get the doctor she's awake." A girl, I assume is a nurse. Another nurse leaves the room and a guy comes up next to me.
"Hey how are you doing Ella?" He asks me with a smile, showing that he is happy that I am awake.
"I-I'm fine. W-who are you to be exactly?" He looks shocked but something else shows but I can not quite put my finger on it.
"I'm Zach your boyfriend."
"My boyfriend? But you can't be my boyfriend." The nurse from before and a guy walks into the room.
"Hello Ellanor, I'm Doctor Enpeer, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, but I don't know him, but he says he is my boyfriend."
"Ah, I see. We can run some more tests. You did take a hard hit. And you were out for awhile. Do you know what the date is?"
"Well how long was I out?"
"Three days." The doctor says
"Okay the date is August 16, 2010." Everyone looks worried.
"It seems she has sufferred shot-term memory loss. The last four year aren't there for her now. How old are you Ellanor?"
"I'm 19, shouldn't you already know this?" I look in between them. Aren't doctors suppose to be smart?
"Ellanor, you are 23 year old and today is February 3, 2015. Ellanor, what is the last thing you remember doing?" The doctor guy says.. four years, that can't be!
"This can't be! Nikki and I were getting ready for our senior year just the other day! Luke graduated in May. He finally asked Nikki out. What do you mean short-term memory loss? February 3, 2015? That's funny! I can't drink yet. I have to use a fake ID."
"Ellanor please calm down."
"Stop calling me Ellanor! Just call me El." I sigh.
"Well El, you need to rest up. Tomorrow we will do more tests. You suffered a hard impact when you fell. So after your vitals are retaken you need to rest up for tomorrow." I nod slightly and the nurses begin to work at taking my vitals. "Looks to be all good I'll see you tomorrow to get your head tested." Doctor Enpeer and the nurses leave. I look over to Zach, the guy that claims to be my boyfriend.
"Hey Ella."
"Don't call me that either. It's El and only El."
"I remember this in high school. You hated Ellanor because it sounded too professional and Ella is too girly."
"I don't like either of them. So please call me El."
"The Spanish word for a guy?"
"No, the Spanish word has an accent over the 'e' making the 'e' sound louder. So no it's not the same." He nods and smirks a little. The smile is kind of cute but something in my guy doesn't feel right.
"I'm going to get something for us to drink. Any specific? Coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate? Soda? Anything?"
"I don't know. What do I normally drink?"
"W-well that depends on your mood.." He mumbles. My stomach turns as my mind does a double check but draws blank.
"May I have a sweet tea please."
"Sure. I'll be back." He gets up and kisses my head but my body flinches automatically. "Sorry. I'll go get the drinks." he turns and leaves me in the room.
When he leaves my head starts to clear. My stomach doesn't churn. Is that normal? Does that happen between a girlfriend and a boyfriend? He seemed to not even know what my favorite drink was.. why? Maybe I'm overthinking things just a little too much. I'll just close my eyes and rest until Zach gets back.
