The Song that Started it All

One Shot

As I sat on that couch unsure of how to handle everything, he knew exactly what to do. He always knew what to do to make my feel better. 

My memory is hazy of that time. The doctors told me it was natural to forget- to want to forget. Although he didn't say the last part ouloud, I knew what he meant when he gave me that fake smile all doctors had. 

I've been in and out of hospitals ever since I could remember. Maybe that's why I decided not to remember anything... White walls, stale tasteless food, the smell of chemicles mixed with the cheap perfume of the night staff nurses that relunctently made sure I could still breath- and the soft drumming of a familiar guitar accompanied with a voice that always put a smile on my face. 

I would have worked harder to get my meories back, to do those exercises those many therapists that would only last a few months would keep putting me through. If only I knew I would be in this situation sooner, maybe it wouldn't have to be this awkward. 

No matter how many times I tried to explain it, they just wouldn't seem to accept my answer, "As I told you all before, after the surgery, I was finally able to live a normal life and I never want go back to those white walled days of hell. So what if I forgot everything, it's not like any of it mattered anyway."

They all beratted me with interjections, as if I this wasn't the third time I explained things.

 "Don't you remember me?"

"I'll help you remember no matter what!"

"You don't need to remember anything, we'll just focus on making new memories together."

"Trying to pull a fast one, huh. (y/n) is mine!"

"Giver her some space guys, let's just sit down and talk things out. This is all for (y/n) after all..."

Heaving a sigh I knew wouldn't be the last, I conceaded and lead them to the living room. They quickly made themselves at home despite it being their first time over- to my knowledge at least. 

Sitting in front of them completely lost about waht to do next, I have to wonder, why in the world were the boy band that everyone and their mother were razedabout was sitting in front of me?

I just wanted a normal life, why in the world is One Direction sitting in front of me saying we knew each other in a past I couldn't even remember!
