Learning to Re-love

Waking Up

      When Will woke up, he was completely out of it. He didn't know where he was. The doctors let Quackity and the members visit him. So therefore they were on the sides of his bed. 

"Wilbur!" Quackity yelped out of excitement, not being able to contain himself. He went in for a hug that Wilbur quickly dodged. "Who are you?.... Who are any of you?" 

Alex's smile faded as fast as it appeared. "I'm.. I'm your fiancé!" He gave Will a dazed look which he returned. "I think I'd know my own fiancé. And who are you guys?" he turned to his band. 

"We're your band mates, William! I'm Joe, this is Mark and Ash." he replied while pointing to the members he named while doing so. 

"I'm.. in a band?" he gave them a baffled gaze. "Yeah man! You're our lead vocalist and our rhythm guitarist!" Mark introduced the "new" roles to him. "I sing?" scoffing at the news, he rolled his eyes. "You do! And he is your fiancé! You talk about him all the time, man.", Wilbur looked at Joe "Look, guy, I would know my own  fiancé and band." replying with a sarcastic tone he rolled his eyes once more. 

Quackity gazed at the man he knew before. The kind, gentle Wilbur he once knew suddenly became hateful and rude. It was like Wilbur, but someone rewired his brain.

 He was so confused. "But.. Wilbur. We've been engaged for a while now! We had a kid together and.." Wilbur stopped him mid-sentence. "You're telling me.. we had a kid?", "Yes!" Wilbur stared at him. "I put my.. in.. you?", Quackity shook his head. 

"Not like that. Adopted, she was adopted. Both of them.", "BOTH!?" he looked at Alex as if he killed his cat. "Yes.. both.", "No no no no, you're pulling my leg, right? RIGHT" Alex looked away. "No, I'm not." The band members stood there, awkwardly. "Should we leave you two alone?" Ash asked. "Yes." Wilbur and Quackity both responded, in sync. 

       As soon as the members left, Philza ran in with Tallulah and Chayanne. "Sorry we're late!", "Whose this?" Wilbur looked at the old man and the eggs, confused. 

Philza's jaw dropped dramatically. "I'm your dad! And this is your daughter Tallulah and your brother Chayanne!", "Where's the other one? You said we had two." Wilbur looked over at Quackity. 

"We did.. the other one, Tilín died.", "Oh.." He had a look of remorse on his face, despite his new, rude behavior it seemed like he was generally upset by this disturbing news. "I'm.. sorry, mate.", "It's fine, it's been a few months anyway." 

Tallulah started squirming, wanting to see her father. She placed a sign that said "Abuelito, can I see papi?", "Wilbur, Tallulah want's to speak to you.", Wilbur nods and holds out his arms which Phil placed her in his arms. She placed another sign that read "Hi, papi", "Hey.." Wilbur looked at her then Quackity then to Philza. 

"Te amo, papi. Even though you probably don't remember me. But we had so many good times together :)" Quackity looked down, Philza did too but he was tearing up. "I'm sorry, Tallulah that I don't remember you but..I'm sure we did.." He looked at her, trying to remember. The doctor came in with the members. 

"We studied his scans, there's nothing wrong with his brain, but he does have amnesia." the doctor said while looking at his clipboard. "You're telling me." Quackity walked out of the room, slamming the door before running off outside, crying.  Philza sighed, "Can I trust you three with eggs?" he was looking at the band. Who all looked at each other.

"I mean, we could. How hard could it be to take care of two eggs for like.. a few minutes?" Joe replied. Phil nods, handing Joe the egg while going out to Alex. He just stared at Chayanne "Uhm.. hi little guy." Chayanne put a sign down that said "Hi! :)." While Joe and Chayanne were conversating, Tallulah wanted to cry. 

Even though she doesn't have the tear ducts to do so, she still wanted to. She stood up, breaking her sign before sitting closer to Will. He could feel her look at him even without eyes. "I'm sorry.." he looked ashamed "I'm sorry that I don't remember you." 

Tallulah wasn't taking it, she loved her father and now he doesn't even remember her. But she knew deep down that it wasn't his fault. This didn't stop her from being heartbroken. Her little heart ached knowing that she might never get her father back and only she will have the memories that they had together. 

He will never remember the time he sung her to sleep or they played his songs together. He'd never remember when he built a house for her. 

He'd never remember giving her, her name. He'd never remember adopting her. He'd never remember her. Knowing the possibilities of this hurt her more. 

She wrote on the sign "Well, before you lost your memory you would sing me songs, papi." he read it slowly. "That's cute. Did I do it for any reason?" he asked erasing the previous message. She thought back to the nightmare she had. She shivered. 

"Yeah but.. it's not really relevant, papi." He nods. "If you don't want to talk about, it's okay." 

      Meanwhile, outside where Philza and Quackity were. They were sitting on a bench outside the corridors. Phil had an arm around Quackity, trying to comfort him.

 But it obviously wasn't working. But he kept trying. "God, why did this fucking happen. I lost him. He doesn't remember me, his child or anyone! Fucking hell, this is hell. I'm sorry that I'm not making any sense, Phil.", "It's okay." he hugged him, patting the back of his head.

 Quackity just continued to ball his eyes out. 

"Phil, I love him. You understand, you've been in love before. But, THIS never happened to you before, has it? You never lost your fiancé but they were very much here, they just don't remember you." Philza sighed, "No, but.. he is my son, Quackity." this just made him cry harder. 

"I'm sorry." Alex wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves. He took a deep breath in, trying to get his nose unclogged from crying. "We should go back in before they don't let us see him anymore tonight.", "Alright, if that's what you want to do, Q." he got up with Alex and walking to Wilbur's room.
