He's a bit surprised by the question at first, but then he remembers the possibility that I may not remember everything right now

-Why do...i... feel pain? * I ask in a low voice*

He lets out a small sigh as he looks down at the tubes and wires hooked up to you.

"Baby, you went through a pretty severe train earlier ...you were hurt pretty bad, that's why you're in pain right now." * his reply is soft*

-and...who are...you?

His heart sinks immediately at the question. This is what he had feared. You not remembering him . But he has to remain calm for you

"Sweetheart, it's me...Matteo. Do you not recognize me?"

I stay there in confusing look on my face and in complete silence

"I don't remember anything , I don't ...uhm, I don't even know my name ...how is that possible...I can't seem to remember my own name?"

His heart sinks even further as i tell him i don't remember anything, I can't even remember my own name . It's much worse than he could've imagined , he never prepared for this . He swallows hard as he looks at me, his eyes full of worry.

-please...leave...don't, touch ..me! *I can hardly speak * I try to move my hand but I feel a sharp pain in my chest and I scream in pain

He lets go of my hand immediately, seeing how much it hurts to move . His heart is racing a huge wave of guilt over him as he sees you try to move and just feel pain instead

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry , please don't move...you're hurt. Please, just rest okay? Just don't move."

I stay there in complete shock...my own thoughts killing me, trying to remember who I am, what I do, and how did all of this happened, trying to remember myself, him and everything else but I just get more and more confused

He hates seeing you like this , in such physical pain and seeing the confusion and shock in your eyes as you try to process the situation you're in.

"Sweetheart, hey...look at me. Just stay calm okay? I'm here , everything is gonna be okay."

My gaze softens

"Can you answer a few questions for me?"

I nod

"Okay... you don't remember anything about your life , right? You don't remember anything about yourself, or where you've come from at all?"

-No * i say *

After a while it hit me...that day ...the date! I try to focus on remembering, i close my eyes and try to remember what happened that day

-I went on a date * I say *

"A date ? Okay ...uh, do you remember who you went on a date with?" 

-with ...with, uhh...

He watches as I'm struggling to remember and he decides to help me a bit...

"Okay, okay, take it easy darling, can I give you a hint?"

*I nod*

He thinks for a moment

"The person you went on a date with ...did they ever call you a nickname?"

I try to remember...but all I can remember is that I was on a date and I don't even know with whom

-I don't know *I respond in a low tone as I look down, feeling like I'm useless, I can't even remember my own name, my life or anything about me..."

he sees the expression on my face and quickly tries to cheer me up

"Okay, that's absolutely okay darling . Tell me, princess, what the person you went on a date looks like?"

As he keeps asking me these questions a tiny flash of memory pops up and I remember but not clearly

-I remember now! *i say as I look up again *

His eyes widen in surprise when you suddenly say that you remember now. He sits up a bit straighter, his heart beating a little faster .

"Really? You remember? Can you tell me what you remember darling?"

My date...I don't exactly remember his face..but ...he went to the bathroom...when... *I hesitate for a moment *

He watches, waiting intently as he sees me trying to finish the thought, he's trying to stay patient but seeing me struggle like this is killing him on the inside.

"Yes, what happened after the person went to the bathroom? What do you remember?" *he asks in a very soft tone *

-the waitress....she...*i try to remember everything clearly, but my mind is really playing tricks on me... i try to remember what happened at that exact moment and why did only this memory came back to me? What's so important about this moment ? *just then i remember that the waitress I called to get the check...she bumped into someone and all the food she had in her hands, bumped into me..*

-the waitress... she bumped..and, *I hesitate, trying to explain in the best possible way*...she bumped food all over me...

"Uh-uh, that must've been a shock, And then what happened?"

-and then, - uhh...a guy...he , came up to me...to help me clean up...*I say*

His heart stutters now as i mention a guy coming up to help me. He sits there , his heart beating fast, his eyes widen ...the realization hitting him that he was the one to walk up to me and help me.

"I...i was, the one that walked up to you and helped you, wasn't i?" *he asks patiently waiting for an answer *

*i look confused...hearing this i try to rethink that exact moment...i repeat it over and over again in my head but all I can remember right now is that i was sitting and then the waitress bumped into me*

He looks at my eyes, as if he's trying to read my thoughts . He moves his other hand to start running through my hear...

"Please, princess, just listen to me for a moment, okay? I need you to be paying close attention to what i say.."

-mhm, okay. *i nod*

"Sweetheart, i know you remember me coming to help you at the restaurant right?" * he asks with hope in his eyes*

*i look down*

His heart sinks a bit when I look down , avoiding looking at him...

"Hey, hey princess, just look at me, okay ? Everything's gonna be okay, i need to know where your head is, okay? Please just look at me for a second." *he says with a worry and hopeful expression *

-I feel so ...exhausted... * i reply

His heart aches as he sees me struggle and express how exhausted i feel ...seeing me this way is crushing him on the inside...

"I know sweetheart, i know you're exhausted and it's hard for you to get through this talking, But i do really to know something, Okay? Can you do that for me?" He asks in a soft voice

I nod slowly -Okay...

I see he's trying so hard to help me remember so I give in...

"Okay, just listen to me closely, okay? Please, just listen and try to be honest with me, okay my love?"

I nod

He takes a deep breath, preparing to ask the question that it's on his mind. He speaks softly, gently as he looks down at me watching my face as if he's trying to read my thoughts..
