Mentally Hopeful • Ethan Cutkosky

21.0

* Ethan's POV *

"Brooke, i dont remember you but...."
I was cut off by someone else.
"Do you remember me?" She said

"Whats your name?" I said

"Jocelyn"

Jocelyn. 1000 memories raced through my head. But only 1 stood out. She was the love of my life, until we broke up

"I remember you"

"You do?!" She said

"Yeah, we dated & then broke up" i said casually

A look of pain appeared on her face.

"I'm sorry, i did this to you & its all my fault i never meant to hurt you" she said & sat down and cried.

I started crying too.
For some reason, seeing her in pain hurts me.

"Ethan, we have 2 hours to help you get your memory back" said my mom cutting off our conversation

So, from there, they started telling me one by one.
They told me everything.
Wow, my life was an adventure.
My life was also hell.

"Wow, this is all true?" I said

"Yeah" said Jocelyn.

"Damn, Jocelyn I'm really sorry for cheating on you" i said

"No its... Fine. I mean i cheated on you too so its okay" she said

* Jocelyn's POV *

We left out one thing.

We never told him about me leaving to the mental hospital for self harm.

I need to tell him.

"Ethan," i said

"Yeah?" He said sleepily

"Im leaving tomorrow for the mental hospital" i said all at once

"What? Why?" He said

"Im going for self harm"

"Why did you harm yourself?"

Everybody looked at me. I looked at everyone in fear.

"I uh, its because we broke up..."

"Im the reason you cut?" He said

"Okay, Ethan were gonna let you get some rest" said my mom

"No, your not leaving until i have an explanation" he said angrily

"Ethan, it doesn't matter, its not important." I said

"Yes! It is fucking important. Now tell me why did i make you cut? Was it something i said?"

"When we broke up i started feeling insecure" i said

"Im really sorry.... if i can go back i would but.... im sorry" he said

"Its fine"

* Ethan's POV *

I'm such an idiot.

Why did i ever date her?

I just caused her so much harm.

The doctor walked in.

"Okay, Ethan has your family recovered your memory yet?"

"Ummmmm... yeah i think they covered everything"

"Good. Now, you need some rest. If you try to remember something and then go to sleep, it will help you remember faster." He said

"Okay"

Everyone walked out.

I fell asleep but in a couple of hours i bolted up covered in sweat.
"Woah! Ethan... Calm down" said Brooke. She was the only one in here

"Brooke..."

"What?" She said

I didn't answer.

"Ethan. What happened?"

Still, no reply.

"Ethan!" She said

"I-i made a mistake."

"What mistake?"

"Loving Jocelyn"
