Chapter Sixteen Car Crash

Jayden
It's been a few days since Hayes' game. Jordan hasn't been bothering me...I think Liz may have taken care of that one. My mom told me that she wants to take me to the mall because she's having a business party tomorrow night and I needed something nice to wear.
We get in the car and start driving to the mall. I look out the window and then everything went dark.

I wake up and I slowly look around. I'm in a white room and I hear a steady beat going.
Beep...Beep...Beep and it went on and on.
"Good afternoon Ms. Smith. I'm Doctor Anderson. You were in a very bad car accident. The car hit the passenger side and the car flipped. Your left elbow and right knee are completely shattered. Can you remember anything?" I stared at him and tried hard to remember what had happened. Then, the memory came rushing in,
"I started looking out the window because Mom and I were going to shop for a fancy outfit, I saw bright lights and then everything went dark. I can't remember anything before or after that though." I said quietly. Then the door swung open. I saw three boys rush through the door. I got scared because I didn't recognize any of them.
"Jayden! Are you okay? What happened?" They all yelled at once. I sat up on the bed and then the doctor explained to them that I have memory loss and probably don't remember any of them.
"Jay, Jay...come on. You gotta remember me." The boy with spiked up brown hair and piercing blue eyes said.
"I'm sorry...I don't. Can you tell me your name and why I would know you?" I say. I tried really hard to say it as kindly as possible so he wouldn't be upset, but he let a few tears slip and said, "Jayden, it's me...Hayes. We're dating and...and I do stupid stuff, but you love me anyways and...and...I ran into you and gave you my t-shirt and Liz teased you about it, but later we became friends and now we're dating! JAYDEN, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER ME!" 'Hayes' screamed at me. I backed away from him a little and looked at the other two boys. They nodded their heads and calmed 'Hayes' down.
"I'm really sorry I don't remember you, Hayes....if I could remember I would. You seem like someone I would want to remember..." I trail off. Then, Hayes climbed into the hospital bed with me and I lay my head on his shoulder. Then the other two boys start talking,
"I'm Nash, I act like I'm your big brother because you're an only child. I'm really Hayes' brother and you two really love each other." 'Nash' said and then the other boy talked,
"I'm Cameron, but you call me Cam. I'm another big brother to you and we have a lot of fun together." I nod my head and then I hear,
"Show her pictures....it will help her remember certain memories that will help her know who you are." Doctor Anderson said as he exited the room.
"Here I have a ton on my phone." Hayes says as he wipes out his phone.
I take it from him and scroll through a ton of pictures until I see one of a boy and a girl hugging on a football field...her legs are wrapped around his torso and he has a huge grin on his face. Then memories start flooding back in.
He ran into me in the hall.
He told keep the shirt because things change fast.
He asked me out after the softball game.
We sat on the same side of the booth.
He carried me to the park and back home.
We went bowling on the second date.
He kissed a girl in school and I got mad.
He made it up to me.
We went to the Lake.
The bridge...he asked me to be his girlfriend.
I'm his girlfriend....I'm Hayes Grier's girlfriend....
"Hayes...HAYES! I'm your girlfriend and you play football! You asked me out and it was just like in the movies! You're a dork and we goof around all the time....and I'm madly in love with you." I say the last part quietly because I was out of breath. His face lit up and he jumped out of bed and picked me up and spun me around. Then, he have me a hug... I felt safe....I felt loved...he loved me and I loved him. If I could remember anything it was this feeling. The feeling of being loved and cared for in a way my parents could never love or care for me. This is all I have ever wanted...to be loved and cared for in a way no one else could. He have me this feeling. That's why I remembered him.

Okay so this is sweet! I hope you guys like this change in the story.

I have some news, I'm going to have to take a break from writing stories because my softball team goes to Nationals this week and all of next week. So for the next two weeks I won't have time to write anything else. I'll talk to you guys in a few weeks thanks for the support and don't forget about this story. I'll write more when I get back.
