Living a Double Life

Chapter 40: My what???

I woke up in a hospital bed to a doctor placing a light in my eye.

"Mrs. Cannery are you up?" The doctor asked. I frowned as I sat up and placed a hand on my forehead.

"You got the wrong name. I'm not married and my family name's Steel." I say. There was a little of shuffling in the papers then the doctor spoke up again.

"I'm quite sure you are Mrs. Cannery mam" the doctor said staring at the paper in his hands.

"I told you I'm not married. Jesus! I've been in a car crash with my boyfriend. Oh my God where's Sky???" I ask the doctor worried. "You know Sky Lambert he's tall with green eyes and brown hair a defined jaw... Dimples..." I pause for a while. "You have no idea who I'm talking about do you?" I ask him.

"No ...I don't... I" the doctor's eyes went from totally confused to realisation.
"Miss. Steel, you think that you are still not married. You believe that you were in a car crash with that Sky boy which happens to be... Your boyfriend?" The doctor asks.

"I don't think so; i know so." I reply kind of happy that he finally understood.

"So...what year are we in exactly?" the doctor asks me smiling as if he just won a thousand dollars.

"2015..." I reply. Who possibly asks about the year we are in? this is freaking stupid.

"Aha" the doctor says speed walking towards a table. He picks up the news paper and throws it at me.

"Do you mind if you read me the date out loud?" He asks.

"Sure its the 26th of august...2018." I say the date slowly and in a low voice. "But this cant be." I look up at the doctor who is quite happy.

"Well it actually is 2018." The doctor said.

"Okay whatever trick you are playing its not funny. Now please just tell me where's Sky? Or Yasmine? Or anyone for the matter? Anyone I know? We're are my friends or family?"

"Let's try to take it at a slower pace. Do you remember anything after the crash?" The doctor asked.

I knew that there was no point in fighting him so why not just answer his questions? The faster were done the sooner I get to see Sky.

I closed my eyes really strong and tried to remember anything. Sky draped his arm around me to protect me and then.... Blank. I couldn't remember what happened next.

"I guess i got transferred to here? I have no idea what happened after the crash just please let me see Sky." I say with venom dripping out of me.

"There is no Sky in here." The doctor says walking closer towards me and taking a mirror from the nightstand.
"Check your face in the mirror Maria." The doctor put the mirror before my face.

I stared at the reflection and frowned.

"No..." I said shaking my head. What does that mean. Why do I look older and full of bruises..."This is stupid!! Quit this joke I am serious." I yelled at the doctor.

The door to my room flew open revealing a guy I've never seen before.

"Oh ma Cherie, you're alright. Oh God I was worried sick." The guy said trying to hug me. I place a hand to his chest and move him away from my view.

"And who the fuck is this?" I ask the doctor who was trying to suppress a smile.

"Your husband mam." The doctor replied. I was shocked its as if someone threw a bucket of ice in my face.

"My what??" I ask.

"Your husband. After speaking to you mam I realised that you think that you were in a car crash while in fact you survived an airplane crash. You think that you are single and dating a certain Sky guy while in fact you are married to sir Jason here. You think that you are still 17 while in fact you are 20 years old. I came to conclude that... You have a 3 year amnesia.... That is you can't remember anything that happened in the last three years of your life." The doctor said clearly.

I let it all sink in and after a few minutes I was soaking in my tears. God what happened to me?
