Echoes of Glory: FC Barcelona Imagine

₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ﾟ. Fragments of Us (Fermín Lòpez.)

⚽

You sat in the sterile hospital room, the harsh white lights casting a stark glare on the polished floor. The beeping of machines and the soft rustle of nurses moving down the corridor formed a faint, monotonous backdrop to the turmoil within you.

Fermín Lopez, the love of your life, lay in the hospital bed before you, his face pale and unfamiliar despite the familiarity of his features.

The accident had been sudden—a jarring crash on a rainy night. Since then, Fermín had been unconscious for days.

When he finally woke, he was greeted not by you, but by the disorienting fog of amnesia. His memories of the past year were gone, along with the warmth of your shared moments and dreams.

You pulled the chair closer to his bed, taking his hand in yours.

“Fermín,” you whispered, trying to keep your voice steady.

“I’m Y/N. We’ve been together for a long time.”

He blinked at you, confusion in his eyes.

“I… I don’t remember you.”

The pain in your chest tightened, but you forced a soft smile.

“I know. But I’m here to help you remember. We’ve shared so much. I want to help you piece it all back together.”

You began with stories, recounting memories that you hoped would spark something within him.

“Do you remember the time we went to the beach and built that ridiculous sandcastle? We spent hours trying to make it perfect, and then it got washed away by the tide. We ended up laughing about it, covered in sand.”

His brows furrowed, and you could see the effort he was putting into trying to remember.

“I wish I could say I do.”

You didn’t give up. Each day, you brought photographs, keepsakes, and pieces of your shared past. There was the silver locket you had given him, with a tiny photo of the two of you inside.

There was the concert ticket stub from the show you both had been so excited about. Each item was a puzzle piece, hoping to trigger a spark of recognition.

On weekends, you’d take him on small outings. First to a quiet café where you’d often have brunch together, then to the park where you had spent countless hours talking and laughing.

Every visit was a test of patience and hope, as you watched him strain to connect the dots between the past and the present.

One evening, as the golden hues of sunset bathed the city in a warm glow, you took Fermín to a small, cozy art gallery you both loved.

You had once spent an entire afternoon there, admiring and discussing paintings. You hoped the familiarity of the place might evoke something.

As you stood in front of a large, abstract painting you’d both admired, he seemed lost in thought.

“This feels… familiar,”

he said, his voice filled with uncertainty.

You felt a surge of hope.

“Yes, we’ve been here before. We spent hours here just talking about art and life.”

He studied the painting, then looked at you with a hint of recognition.

“I think I remember feeling something when I was here… It’s like a whisper from a dream.”

You nodded, your eyes brimming with tears.

“That’s good. It means we’re getting closer.”

The days turned into weeks, and although the journey was slow and fraught with emotional setbacks, there were small victories.

Fermín started to recall snippets of your life together—fragments of conversations, fleeting moments of joy. Though his memories were fragmented, each piece was a step forward.

One day, as you walked through the park, Fermín stopped and looked at you with a mixture of awe and tenderness.

“I might not remember everything yet, but I feel something deep when I’m with you. It’s like there’s a part of me that’s always known you.”

You smiled through your tears, squeezing his hand.

“That’s the most important thing. We’ll build from here, piece by piece, and find our way back to each other.”

And so you did. Slowly but surely, you and Fermín began to rebuild your life together. The memories you shared might have been scattered, but the love you had for each other remained a constant, guiding force.

As you continued to weave the tapestry of your lives, you found solace in the fact that, even in the face of amnesia, the bond between you was strong enough to endure and flourish anew.
