Forgotten Love

Chapter 10

Troye's POV

I wake up the next morning with a heavy weight on my chest and when I look down, I see Connor with his head on my chest and it all comes back to me what we did last night. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that I did that. Connor means the world to me and I want to do things like that with him and when he is ready then we will do it but until then it will have to be that or my right hand.

I feel Connor moving beside me and he looks at me and says, "morning babe". I lean down and kiss the top of his head and say, "morning did you sleep ok"? He nods his head and says "yes because I had you beside me. I also want to say sorry again for making you do what you did. The thing is I never told you this, but I tried dating other guys after your accident, but I just kept comparing them to you, so I have never slept with anyone bar you. You mean the world to me and my love for you only intensified after your accident and when I saw you come in to look at the hospital I recognised you but I put it aside because I saw you with Jacob and I knew you had moved on but when you came in for that month I couldn't push it aside. I was jealous if you will of Jacob because he had what I wanted. I was so glad you said that you had broken up".

I looked down at him and noticed he was crying so I pulled him in closer and said babe it's ok I know how you feel. As soon as I realised the first time you kissed me it was you who my flash backs were about I really wanted to tell you but I thought you would hate me if you knew the truth and having you back in my life again has made me feel much stronger and my love for you stronger that's why I got the tattoo. I could feel the tears running down my cheeks as I too was crying.

I get up and make my way to the bathroom to get a face washer to wipe our faces. I wipe mine then I wet it again and then take it back out to Connor. He wipes his face and I go to make him a coffee.

Before I even get the coffee made, I feel 2 arms around me, and Connor kisses the back of my neck. He says to me "let's go and get coffee on our way to our first place that I want to show you". I nod my head and walk in to get ready so we can go.

Once I am dressed, we head out to Connor's car and start on the way out to the first place.

After we get our coffee from the local Starbucks we head to our first destination but I'm not sure where.

We drive for a bit then we pull up at a deserted amusement park. It looks familiar but I just can't remember the name or anything yet.

We get out and Connor comes over and grabs my hand pulling me away from the entrance down a little track covered by bushes but I can just see an opening in the fence for us to climb through which we do.

Once inside the park Connor grabs my hand once again and leads me away from the rides up a slight hill to a rocky area where we can overlook the park.

It starts to come back to me a bit. I remember we used to go here all the time when we first started dating until it closed down.

I turn to Connor and say we used to come here when we first started dating didn't we? Connor nods his head and says yeah we used to watch the sunsets together.

I lean in and kiss Connor and say we used to sit up here and make out after the sun went down. Then we would walk back to the car hand in hand.

After a full day of places that we visited before my accident we returned back to my place.

I groan as I open the door as I'm greeted with boxes that I haven't unpacked yet and Connor says it's ok we will do them together. I look at Connor and say I have a rotten headache babe the joy of having a TBI. Don't worry I will do them tomorrow, Connor shakes his head and says it's ok I will do them after I put you to bed with a nice cup of tea.

I look at Connor and say I can't ask you to do that. I will get around to them.

Connor walks into the kitchen to start the tea while I walk into my room to get comfortable clothes on. Just as I finished putting my track suit pants on Connor walks in with 2 mugs of tea. He hands me mine as I get comfortable on my bed and sits next to me. He cuddles into me and says sorry about today if it was too much you should have told me.

I pull him into my arms and say babe it's not your fault and it wasn't too much. I get them every few days.

I loved today. Thank you so much for that. I got a few more flashbacks from today so I'm getting there. I love you and thank you for giving me another go. I kissed the top of his head where it was lying on my shoulder.

We move further down the bed so we are lying down. Connor just lays in my arms rubbing my head to try and soothe it.

I must fall asleep as I wake up and Connor isn't next to me but I know he is still here as I can hear movement in the lounge room and some of my songs playing softly in the background.

I walk out to see the lounge room cleared of the boxes. I walk over to him and put my arms around his waist and say babe thank you for this you didn't have too. I really appreciate it.

He turns in my arms and says it's ok when you fell asleep. I thought I would do it. I kiss his lips and betray into the kiss thank you for everything.

I'm so grateful to have him back in my life. If I had never gone into that mental health ward to get my mental health back on track. I would still be miserable with Jacob. I wouldn't be happy and wouldn't be getting my memory back with the boyfriend I had forgotten.

As we were sitting there just talking Connors phone rings and when he answers I can only hear his side of the call.

Just as he ends the call he says ok see you soon.

I move away from him and say you need to go. He nods his head sadly and says yeah sorry they are short staffed at work so they asked me to come in. I'm sorry I know I promised you that we could spend all day together but they really need me.

I kiss his lips and say I understand you need to work.

As Connor leaves a few hours later I kiss him and tell him I will see him tomorrow as Connor promises to bring me breakfast.

When I wake up the next morning I can't help the smile that comes to my face at remembering that Connor will be here soon with breakfast.

I just put some more things away while I'm waiting for Connor.

Next time I look at my phone it's after 11 and I'm getting worried as I haven't heard from Connor. If he was going to be late then he would have messaged me.

I just turn the television on and a newsflash is on. I don't take much notice until they say the name of the mental ward Connor works at. I then hear that a worker is being held hostage and police are negotiating with the person.

I run back into my bedroom and throw some jeans on. I grab my keys and run out to the car. I speed to Connors work and straight up to where he said I could park whenever I'm there.

I ran up to the police tape and was just about to go under it until I got stopped. I yell at them that my boyfriend works inside and I need to check on him. They won't let me go inside and I have to stand outside until it's safe.

I just stand there until I hear my name called and I look up to see Ricky standing there with Kian. Ricky runs up and sees the tears in my eyes and says please tell me it's not Connor. I say I'm not sure mate. Connor was called in last night and he was supposed to come back to mine with breakfast.

I'm so bloody scared that it is him and I will lose him again.

I cant lose him again. Not a second time. I love him too much. Kian and Ricky just hug me and say and he loves you so much you won't lose him.

Just as they say that we hear a gunshot ring out from inside and I feel my knees buckle and fall to the ground. I black out from all the stress.
