Come Together

Chapter 39:I'm awoke with no memory

...1 week later.....
Roberta's POV
I feel like I'm in a traveling timeline. It's like I'm going through a long journey and I can clearly see that I'm very important. I see me walking a down a catwalk. I see cameras and fancy clothes but for some reason I have no reconciliation of what I am seeing. I see a teenager with long hair which is me and another dark skin girl with long hair too. I can't make out who she is. I see people dancing and I see we are in a part area and music is playing a group of five boys, teenagers rather, they all look a like I'm guessing their brothers. I see the lead singer and I see me getting on stage and dancing with him. It looks like I really liked him. I see me buying a new house it's pretty. Then the timeline fast forward to me kissing a boy in my bedroom. This boy looks familiar.. Oh... Yeah... He is the boy from the party. I don't know his name.... He is a cutie.. Go me... What is my name again... Oh.. No.. I don't have a memory... Nooooooo... This is totally bad. I continue to go down this Memory Lane thingy and am looking to me being in a hotel and packing while a man is sitting on my bed trying to convince me for something then I see me opening a door and a light skinned curly long hair girl is on the other side looking like she just finish crying her heart out. Then I see me giving her a piece of my mind.. Boy... I wonder what happened to us... Then I see me crying in a bedroom that looks like its for a teenager. I must've been heart broken about something... The machine or path is moving again.... I'm talking to three beautiful ladies and they have amazing taste of style. I'm teaching them some dances and they are killing it well. Wait I'm moving yet again and this time I hear beeping noises and breathing noises... I'm... I'm.... In a hospital and damn my right arm feels like its on fire and so does my ankle owww...... I hear talking and a door closes I think I should open my eyes now... But the light is too bright.... Oh gosh...

Michael's POV
We've been back and forth to the hospital for a week now. I only can pray that she will wake up soon. The doctor said that her brain is doing well.. That's great news. The doctor said something to me that made me worry a lot because she has short term memory loss.. Meaning that she can't remember anything for a while. I told Lisa Marie about what happened and of course she made a big deal about it but I did that trip out when she visits her children's father because I trust her. I made a promise and I can't break it. I will be here for her. The girls came by earlier and stayed and talked to me and her mom and her. Right now I'm touching her hands and laying on her lap. I haven't did this in very long time so I drift off to sleep.

Roberta's POV
As I'm OK with opening my eyes I hear beeping noises, and I see that I am in a hospital but how and why. Another why is why is there a human male laying on my lap. I mean he looks so adorable... He looks like the male that I was yelling at in the hotel.. He actually looks like the guy from video I appeared to be in... He looks like the guy I was dancing with in that party. Weird... I blink and try to sit up using the only good arm I have..
Me: hello.. Excuse me.... Sir...
Person: hmm... What is it Roberta... ROBERTA you're awoke!!
Me: who's Roberta?
Person: oh right... You don't know who you are..
Me: why do I not know who I am and how did I end up in the hospital and with you on my lap.
Person: well-
Doctor : hello MS. Strawder. It seems you're awoke how are you
Me: I don't know who you're referring to but I'm doing OK.
Doctor : of course.. I'm going to let you know that you was involve in a car accident.
Me: gasp.. I was... What happened to me
Doctor : it appears that from the police report that you was driving and it seems like a car slipped through some ice and fell off the lane and hit you. Your car flipped over four times and it's a blessing you made it. Most accidents always leave a person dead and another one in jail or broke. You was in a coma for a week now and you have short term memory loss. Meaning that you don't have a good memory of a lot of things. So you may not be able to remember anything right now and that's OK your memory will slowly come back to you. Don't strain yourself because it can cause damage to your head. Your family, friends, and workers have been here to support you. He is one of them.
Me: oh my god.... This is going to be a long recovery... I guess we can start somewhere right.. So tell me who are you
Person: that's right you can. So I'll tell you.. My name is Michael... I am a entertainer, actor, and director.
Me: OK cool.. Tell me more
Doctor : not so much..
Michael: OK... We met back in 1979 . I started my career as the lead singer in my family group called the Jackson 5 . When I met you we were teenagers.
Me: but if you're a celebrity how did I meet you ? Only famous people or people with money can see other famous people.
Michael: well I might as well tell you about yourself.
Me: OK
Michael: well your name is Roberta Dakotashea Strawder. You was born on May 28th 1960. Your hometown is Bronx, New York. You are the only child. You began your career as a baby, you was a baby model. By the age of 7 you moved into children modeling. You continue your career all through your teen years and that's how you met me. You are a celebrity. You are also a dancer. You moved to California when you was 12 years old.
Me: interesting ...tell me more...
Doctor : how do you feel right now
Me: like a sponge trying to absorb as much as I can.
Doctor : OK let Michael know when you can't take anymore and he'll stop... OK...
Me: OK
Michael: OK
Doctor : OK
The doctor left and Michael is telling me more.
Me: how did I meet you
Michael: like I said I first saw you in 1979 . We were a TV show called soul train. Where a certain artist comes and performed and people dances. However on this night you were there with your bet friend in the whole world you use to tell me. Me and my brothers were there performing a song off our newest album at the time and the security guard let some of y'all get on stage with us which is super weird. You wowed is with your dancing. We had a blast that night and even though we grew up knowing exactly who you are you told me your name anyways. Then four years went by and I was working on my third solo album thriller. The lead single on the album needed a video and in the video I needed a female companion. My director and your manager got together and discussed my concepts for the video and she saw that you would be perfect for the video so we met again and immediately clicked as far as chemistry goes. We worked on the video for about a month in a half and during working on the video I discovered that you and my parents live really close to each other. Umm after that we became good friends, until you gave me a dinner I would never forget .
Me: was it bad
Michael : no not at all you made my day as a matter of fact you gave me this watch and you had it engraved with my initials. I never not wore since you have it to me. On that day you also became something special to me.
You became my girlfriend.
Me: we dated? No wonder you look so familiar
Michael : yeah we did.
Me: do we date now
Michael: no unfortunately
Me: why not.. How long have we dated?
Michael: we dated for four years. We were engaged for three years
Me: oh really. Was our relationship nice
Michael: it was the best relationship I've ever been in . Nobody saw that coming and they loved us being together.
Me: well do we still date or are we still married?
Michael: unfortunately no
Me: well what happened
Michael : I don't think you're ready to know that part
Me: no tell me because when I was sleep I went through this time machine.
Michael: what did you see
Me: a lot
Michael: OK so tell me
Me: I'll try
Michael: we got all day

So we spent the whole day sharing what little memories I saw without me getting a headache. Michael told me that he has a fiance and I understood. What I didn't understand is why didn't we get married ? How did we break up? After laying there wondering what really happened to us I fell asleep...

Michael's POV
After sitting there going over events with Roberta I came to realized that I miss her soo much. It's not because she is sitting in the hospital recovering from a coma and a car accident. It isn't because she has short term memory loss either. It's because I miss the good times we had. Looking back on the events that we shared together made me realized that I miss her in general. However I can't sit here and sulk in memories when I'm getting married in a week. It's like a game of love and war because I love Lisa I really do but then again My Heart will always be with my first true love Roberta. I'm just waiting for my Roberta to come back to me. I know she'll be back but for how long. Like she remembers something's she said but not a lot. She said her memory is scattered . She remembers her house. She remembers being all over the world as a kid and working as a teenager. Everything like people are a loss to her. It's sad because I showed her a picture of her and Maleigha from a regular day at neverland and she said that in her dream she saw her. I had to keep reminding her that the girl in the picture is her best friend. She started crying because she felt like she wasn't getting nowhere with this remembering things again thing she has to do. She could walk because she has a sprained right ankle so I helped her. If it has to be me along with the ones she loves helping her until she get her memory back then I'm OK with being apart of it. I need my Roberta to come back to me....

Wow Michael seems like he is willing to do any and everything to help Roberta get her memory back. I hope this doesn't start a fire with another significant other....
