Falling Apart

Chapter Nineteen

Tori's POV

I wake from my, seems like, endless sleep. I am met with a very bright room and many people in scrubs or lab coats around me. What happened? Where am I?

"Tori?" A guy in a white lab coat asks, looking at me. Who is he? Who is Tori?

"Who's that?" I ask the man.

"That's you," he tells me. That's a pretty name for someone like me. "You were beaten and you have amnesia, possibly for life."

"Who beat me?" I ask him but a different man answers me, a younger one.

"Your boyfriend," he answers. "Your best friend brought you here two hours ago."

"My best friend?" Who's my best friend?

"Yeah, your best friend. Her name is Alyssa Davison."

Alyssa Davison. Alyssa Davison? I know no such person. How is she my best friend if I don't even know who she is.

The door opens and all eyes snap to the brunette women that walks in. She has a some fat on her but she is beautiful. A guy comes in after her. He's cute with his hazel eyes and light brown hair.

"Can we talk to her?" The brunette woman asks and the younger doctor nods, him and the rest leaving the room, leaving me alone with the woman and man that walked in.

"Hey Tori," she greets me.

"Hi," I say shyly because I have no idea who this woman is. "Who are you?" I ask her.

"Who am I?" I swear I see a tear slip down her cheek. "I'm your best friend, Alyssa."

"The doctor told me about you but I don't remember you," I tell her. "Who are you?" I ask the guy standing behind her.

"I'm Ashton."

"Oh," was my response.

"Do you seriously not remember me?" The Alyssa girl asks me. She is starting to get annoying. How could I be best fiends with her?

"I don't," I answer and tears pour down her cheeks, not stopping.

"I can't do this," she says before rushing out the room.

"Alyssa!" Ashton calls down the hall as she runs from the room.

He looks at me as he stands in the door way. "Sorry, you guys have been together for a long one so this is hard for her," he says and leaves the room also, probably going after her.

Did I cause that woman some pain?

I don't know why, but knowing I made her feels one pain gave me some pleasure. It feels as if I should hurt her because I love it. I might just do that.

Ashton's POV

How could Alyssa's best friend not remember her? Did she really get beaten up that bad that she can't remember her? I feel bad for Alyssa and Tori. I feel bad for Alyssa most oral because she has to deal with the fact that her best friend had forgot about her because she woke up with amnesia. I feel bad for Tori least of all because she doesn't know that her best friend is in so much pain and if she does it really doesn't bother her because she doesn't even know the women.

Why does life have to w so unfair to such good people?

Alyssa's POV

How can she not remember me? Her best friend? The one she's been with since Junior year in high school? She's not a true friend if she forgets all about me.

This all reminds me off when Matthew had amnesia and didn't know who I was and he gained his memory back. Except this is my best friend we are talking about right now.

I stop in front of the doctor and ask him, "She has amnesia?"

He nods his head as he gives me a sympathetic look.

"How long?" I ask him.

"Life," was his answer before I exploded.

"She can't! She can't have amnesia for the rest of her life! You better fix her! That's your job! You have to fix her! You have to!"

I begin sobbing and arms wrap around my waist from behind me.

"Let's go," his Australian accent fills my ears. "Can we take her home, doc?" He asks the doctor. I look up to see him nod his head again.

"Sorry," the doctor tells the two of us before we go back to Tori's room.

We get her out of the hospital and Ashton drives us home because I am in no shape whatsoever to drive. Tori sits in the back and the whole ride back tot he house is filled with silence. Nobody knows what to say.
