The Three Stooges

Chapter Seven - Holly

I suddenly saw a flash of familiar red hair. There standing at the door was Holly. My best friend. I got up and ran to her, ignoring Ben who had grabbed my arm. I got to Holly and gave had a massive hug. I let go and looked at her, she looked surprised and confused. It took me a minute, but I finally realized that she had no idea who I was. I choked and took a step back, running into Ben. He grabbed my arm and walked me back to our seats.
"Why didn't she recognize me?" I muttered to myself.
"Char," Ben said, "Holly was diagnosed with dimentia when she was twenty five, and can't remember anything from her childhood."
I felt a tear run down my cheek, why did my bestfriend's memories have to be taken away from her? I whipped the tear away and sat up, I had to be strong.
I heard a familiar bell go and I looked at Ben, he smiled sadly. We both got up and moved towards the chairs at the front of the hall.
