Forgotten Memory (Editing)

~Chapter 3 I Will Remember You

~Chapter 3~

Paige's P.O.V.

I looked at the male sitting beside me. He was handsome. Black hair and dark brown eyes you could get lost in. But that’s not important right now. What’s important is where am I and who is this? And why does he keep calling me Paige? That’s no-. Wait? Dammit! What's my name?

"Paige?" He repeated with a concerned tone. 

Maybe that’s my name and that’s why he kept calling me it? Okay we'll go with that. "Um who are you?" I said. 

His face went from a relieved face to a hurt one. You could see it in his eyes. I felt bad that I didn’t remember him. "It’s me. You have to know me. I’m Alec...Your boyfriend..." He said. 

I felt my brain do a flip trying to remember. What was there to remember? There's nothing in there."My boyfriend?" I repeated the word.

"Yeah your boyfriend. You love me a lot and I love you" He said slowly.

"You love me? Love?" I felt like a little kid but that’s all I could say. 

His eyes started to fill with tears."Yeah. I love you a lot." He was trying to hold back the tears. 

I took his hand. "I’m sorry" I said feeling tears start in my eyes to. I kissed his hand and held it against my cheek. Like it was supposed to be there. His hand was warm against it. I felt like I knew him and something in my gut said it was a lot more than just knowing...something so much more. 

Alec's P.O.V.

Well doesn’t that just suck, severely. I look for her all night and it ends up she was almost beaten to death and dropped off on her porch. I feel like such a piece of shit. I couldn't do anything. They said the damage looks like it was done with a shovel. She doesn’t look horrible but she doesn’t look good. I mean she's still beautiful. She has bruises and cuts all over her. Her face has a bruise across her forehead. The person who did this hit more her body than her head. She got hit two times, the doctor said, in the head. They said she doesn’t have brain damage but it’s a possibility she may have memory loss. Which now it’s obvious she does. She doesn’t remember me...at all. It hurts a lot in my heart. Oh God, I love her so much yet, she has no idea who I am. Yeah not the thing you want to hear. You know something? I was gonna ask her to marry me. She was going to be Paige Lively. It’s not like it’s still not possible. Right? I still have hope. Her full name is Paige Sage Elizabeth. I love her name. It feels right when I say it. Mines Alec Ace Lively,

She was holding my hand against her face. She had her eyes closed. Just sitting in the hospital bed. It was silence. All white walls and everything white. I felt like I've been sitting in a asylum. Her mother was here earlier but she had work. She told me not to leave her side and I didn’t, nor do I plan too.

She opened her eyes and looked into mine. "I’m sorry" She repeated. What was I supposed to say back? 'Oh it’s okay you don’t remember me. I’m just your boyfriend that’s madly in love with you and wants to ask you to marry me, Oh no its fine.' Yeah right. "Um what should I call you?" She said.

"Alec." I said back. 

She smiled. I love that smile. It’s beautiful. We both jumped when we heard a knock on the door and in came Candy. 

She looked shocked to see me there."Oh uh hi" Candy said, her voice sounded scratchy.

"Hey" I said and Paige just sat there. She must not remember her either. "Why's your voice all scratchy?"

"There was a party last night you know?" Candy put down her purse and sat next to me and looked at Paige."How you doing?" She asked. Paige just sat there staring at her. Not answering.
