Amber's POV
I felt a slight tugging at the back of my head, then a sharp pain going down my back. "This hurts." I managed to say through tears. The doctor seemed surprised. "Oh my, nurse we need to put her to sleep quickly." The nurse looked through a lot of clanky stuff. "Doctor we don't have the anesthesia here." she said panicking. I felt a little pull and a snip. 'Where's my daddy?' I thought. I felt a needle being shoved in my vein on my arm. I felt drowsy, then went to sleep.
When I woke up all I could remember,was the tugging and pulling at the back of my head. I reached behind my head and was stopped by a guy with tattoos all over. "What happened? Where am I?" I asked. The doctor was talking to another guy with tattoos all over and a pretty lady with no tattoos outside the room. I looked around and everyone in there seemed to be so extremely happy. "How long was I out?" I asked. "You've been sleeping for almost three days now." I felt like my eyes were gonna fall out of my head. "T-Three days?" They all nodded. "Who are you all?" Everyone looked shocked at me. "You don't know us?" asked a guy with bright pink hair and more tattoos.
I tried to sit up, but was gently laid back down by someone with no tattoos and a vest that said Seaman on a patch. "Doc says you can't strain yourself too much so early." I nodded.
Ronnie's POV
"Will it be temporary?" I asked anxiously. The doctor shook his head sadly. Crissy cried into Ronnie's shoulder. "How much will she be able to remember?" she asked. The doctor looked at the charts and said "Once she sleeps tonight, she won't remember anyone or anything. I'm surprised she hasn't-" We heard a loud thump and turned around to see Amber by the window, looking terrified. "Well, I guess she's awake now." I said. The doctor and I rushed in quickly. "What's going on?" asked Amber.
The doctor held his hands towards her and said "Amber? Do you remember me?" Amber shook her head and said "Why are they all tattooed?" she asked. The doctor turned to me and said "Do you want to explain to her what happened?" I nodded and said "Amber, honey I'm your dad. Remember me?" She looked at me up and down. "I don't have any tattoos though." she said looking at her pale arms and legs. "Well that's because we weren't born with them." Amber walked slowly toward me and gently grabbed my arm and examined it closely.
"I want one." she said. Crissy slowly came up to her and asked "Honey? Do you want it small or big?" Amber turned to Crissy and gently touched her hair. "You're very pretty." she said sweetly. Crissy's cheeks turned red and smiled big. "You're beautiful too baby." she placed a hand on Amber's cheek and immediately took it back. "Honey are you cold?" she.asked. Amber nodded and said "Just a tiny bit." Jacky quickly took off his sweater and slid it on her slowly. "Your tattoos are colorful." she said.
Jacky smiled.and said "Yeah they are pretty colorful." Amber touched Jacky's arm and held it in her hands, examining his tattoos. "I want one like this." she said pointing to his Jack Skelington tattoo. "Okay baby we'll get it for you." Jacky said holding her hands in his. Amber blushed and looked up at Jacky's eyes and smiled "Your eyes are pretty." Jacky couldn't resist but to hug her tightly, she hugged back.
Jacky's POV
Amber was so fragile and so small compared to me. I wanted to hold her forever, but I knew I had to let her go. "Can she come home now?" The doctor checked his chart and said "Yes, but things will have to be bit different. You'll have to remind her everyday, who she is, who you are, who they are, where she is, and how she got there." Everyone nodded and smiled looking at Amber's still figure in my arms. I loosened my arms and Amber almost slid out of my grasp. "She fell asleep?"
The doctor said "Well I guess the routine will have to start early then." I picked up Amber gently bridal style in my arms. She was so light. "Is it normal for her to be this light?" I asked. The doctor came forward and said "Let me check her." After a few minutes of waiting the doctor came in and sighed. "She weighs only 87 pounds. She is considered to be anorexic." Ronnie stood up and said "But she eats, how can she be anorexic?" The doctor looked surprised. "Well after she eats does she go to the bathroom right after?" Ronnie nodded. "Then she might be throwing it all back up. Bulimia to be precise."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, she was too beautiful, too smart, and too vulnerable to do that. 'How could she not tell anyone? Especially me?' I thought. "Where's Amber?" I asked. The doctor led us out and into the hall. "She's fine, she's in the other room right there since we thought it'd be easier than carrying her back to that room. Ronnie ran in and held Amber closely to his chest. "I'll never let anything happen to you again." His tears fell in her bright blue hair and down her pale face. I noticed she moved a little and then she tries to move her body, but Ronnie didn't let his grip loosen. "Umm Ronnie I think she's trying to move." Dahvie said.
Ronnie loosened his grip and lowered her back down. "Amber? Are you awake?" Ronnie asked. Amber's eyes slowly fluttered open and she looked around the room confused. "Where am I?" she asked. 'Not again.' I thought.
Amber's POV
I was in a white room surrounded by guys and girls with tattoos and piercings. "Where am I?" I asked. I rubbed my eyes and touched the back of ny head, I felt stitches. "What happened to me?" I asked. A guy with long black hair and tattoos all over his arms and chest came closer and said "You're in a hospital Amber. You blacked out and hit your head really hard on the ground." I looked around confused. A man dressed in white came in and whispered something to the guy with long black hair. After the man in white finished the man with black hair looked really angry. "So you caused her memory loss?!" he yelled.
The doctor said scared "Well since she woke up during the stitching it caused her memory loss. We thought she would be passed out during the whole procedure. We got the anesthesia a minute after she woke up." A lady in a white dress came in and said "Ronnie Radke?" The guy with long black hair stepped forward and said "Yes?" I looked at him and thought 'Ronnie is his name? It sounds so.......familiar.' I got off the bed and walked.up to him and said "Ronnie Radke is your name?" He looked shocked to hear me. He nodded. "That name sounds so familiar somehow. Do I know you from somewhere?"
His eyes lit up a bit when he said "Good! I'm from a band called Falling in Reverse. I'm your dad Ronnie Radke." I felt a shiver go down my spine when I. saw another guy with long black hair and tattoos walk in. "Amber Radke? A man named Craig Mabbit would like to see you." I saw his face and had a flashback, I was in a giant mall and then he came up to me and kissed me, then I saw who I knew to be Ronnie start yelling at the guy who kissed me. His face looked exactly like the guy visiting me. 'Craig Mabbit?' I thought.
"Fuck no! Get away from her and us!" yelled Ronnie. Craig held up his hands in surrender and backed away. "Just came to see if she was alright." he said. Ronnie turned back to me and asked "Do you remember him?" He pointed towards Craig. I nodded "Craig Mabbit. He was the one who-" Craig came in and said "I made you black out, it's my fault you're in here." I actually felt bad for Craig. 'What's so bad about him?' I thought.
