The Only Man, I can Stand

Don't you remember me?...

(Y/n) Pov

I didn't have the best sleep, even though the bed was the most comfortable in the world. It was all because of my mind trying to get me to remember that man's name.

I got up and walked to my closest. I put on some clothes that remind me of my timeline I was alive, because they make me feel safe in this new environment I'm now in.

My outfit included a long sleeve white button down shirt with a dark navy blue vest over it also with black pants, and black polished shoes.

When I was happy with my outfit I quickly ate then headed down stairs. I saw people everywhere and most of them looked angry.

I walked over to Charlie, at the counter and asked, "Charlie, why are most of the people angry here?"

"Oh, morning (Y/n), we're short staffed, and everyone wants to be here because after the last exermation they think it could actually be possible to be redeemed," she said while doing a lots of things at once.

"Well, let me help," I said then snapped my fingers.

All of a sudden lots of figures popped up then went everywhere to help the people. Within minutes the lobby was clear from a crowd of people.

 "Thank you, (Y/n)," Charlie said with joy.

"It's fine, Charlie. They're called figures so if you need one of them, call them by that and they'll help," I said. "You're amazing (Y/n), oh, also I found the perfect job for you! When I saw you cooking then tasting your food, I knew you were made for the kitchen. You don't have to do much with people, the only people that really help out there is my dad, me, and sometimes Alastor," Charlie told me.

She showed me to the kitchen and helped me find where everything is.

"And there you go, (Y/n). If you need any help, call me," she said then left me to get comfortable.

As the days went by more comfortable I got with some people. Though I felt a little lost. Yes, the kitchen was a good place for me to work, but I didn't need to do much.

I missed being in a garden, taking care of plants. Like I did at Rosie's and when I was alive.

We were doing a trust exercise by playing "1 truth and 2 lies". I was zoned out for the most part, while thinking about my past life. 

"(Y/n)? (Y/n)? (Y/n)," I heard someone yell to snap me out of my thoughts.

"Ah, yes," I asked as I looked up at the hotel staff that lived here.

"You good, babe," asked Angel with his weird nicknames.

"I'm fine just thinking," I said then got up and left.

Alastor Pov.

I watched as my love walked out of the room. Then I got up and followed them.

"Dearie, are you alright," I asked them as they stopped. 

They turned around then said, "Why are you following me? I know Rosies asked for us to be friends but I don't understand why you keep pestering me?"

My heart hurt a little, did they not remember me? My mind was racing as I stared at them

Then I said, "Don't you remember me?..."

They looked at me in confusion like I lost my mind. Then they turned back around.

"You're a confusing man, Radio Demon," they said then left.

"What are you doing," my shadow asked me. 

I ignored him and watched (Y/n) walk away.

When they were finally out of my sight I was enraged. I quickly walked out of the hotel and into the forest.

How could they forget me? Did they not recognize me?

"Al, stay in control. We just have to make them ours again, and we have forever to do so," my shadow told me as I punched a tree.

I sighed as I regain my composer then brushed off my suit.

"You're right my old friend. It also looks like our little witch is repossessing a chase," I said then laughed, "This will be fun." 

(Y/n) Pov.

My head was throbbing as I thought about Alastor reminding me of the man that I can't even remember who he is.

I walked into my room then slammed my door close. I was laying in my bed while looking at my ceiling when I got a call from Rosie.

"Hello, dearie! How's your first week," she asked as I answered her on my new updated phone.

"Hello, Miss Rosie, my first week was fine," I said. "Are you sure? you sound like something is bothering you," she said.

I sighed then said, "It's just I keep on remembering this man when I was alive, but I can't make out his face. Also, I don't remember his name, and it's bothering me."

"Oh, yeah, that does sound like a problem. Well, don't let it get to you too much, dearie. Also, don't try and force your memories. When I found you, your head was bleeding bad so it'll take time," she said.

I smiled, happy I was able to talk to her.

"Thank you, Rosie," I said. "Don't worry about it dear. Just get some rest, good night," she said then hung up.

I soon fell asleep after changing clothes and fell into a dream.

Dream:

"(Y/n)! (Y/n), dearie where are you," asked a voice that sounded like it came from the house, "Oh, there you are, dearie!"

It was a man, the same one that you keep thinking about, and he went to you in your garden.

"I knew I could find you here, dear. Oh, are the herbs ready?"

Then you responded, "Yes could you help me with them, 6/6$+.n?"

You couldn't make out the name you called him, it was distorted and a mess. 

"Of course, my love," he said as he caressed your cheek.

You were shocked. Did you just hear him right? Did he just call you "love"?

He kissed your head then grabbed a basket to take the herbs you just picked into the house.

That right there proved that you heard right the first time you heard "love".

The question now in your mind was how do you not remember him. He was your lover when you were alive, how could you forget him?

Then your dream moved into a new memory.

He was standing in front of you looking like a little kid getting scolded by his mother.

You heard yourself sigh then you placed a hand on his cheek.

"Just because your a murder that doesn't mean I don't love you, A/6$+.n," you said.

You realized that his name started with an "A". It wasn't the best clue but it was something.

He looked up at you then hugged you saying, "Oh, my love, thank you, thank you!"

He twirled you around in the air then things got brighter.

The next thing you saw was the ceiling of your room. You sat up and ran your hands through your hair.

You had some remembering to do.
