I woke up and opened my eyes slowly.

My head hurt like hell. Where was I?

I looked around and saw that I was laying on a bed. Next to me there was a bedside table with lots of medicines in it, a glass of water and some portraits with photos. On the other side there was a couch with two strange people sitting on it talking.

"Look, she's awake" The girl said. Getting up and walking towards me.

Wait...who am I?

"Thank god..." The boy said following the girl, getting up as well.

Who were those people?

"How are you feeling Hope?" The girl said.

"Who's Hope?" I asked confused.

"Uhh, that would be you" The guy said and went to get the portrait on the bedside table "See? That's you and me when we were kids" He said signing the little boy and girl in the photo.

"Do you know who I am?" The girl said and I shook my head in denial. A tear rolled down her face "I'm Luna...how could you forget me?".

Arghh!

My head hurt so much.

I squeezed my eyes in an attempt to control the pain. I failed miserably.

"Okay, Hope," I guess my name was Hope. "I understand why you can't remember Luna, because you only met her 5 years ago, but me... How can you not remember your "brother"...?" Tears were forming in his eyes "I mean, I'm your little Nash, you're best friend since we took our very first breath and you're counselor in matters of the heart" so many tears started rolling down his face.

Ugh, my head, shit!

"Maybe if we show you you're favorite place, you'll remember something" The girl, I mean, Luna said wiping away her tears.

"And that would be...?" I asked.

"The ice cream shop" She said smiling.

Should I trust these people? I mean, I have no clue of who they are and if they're telling the truth about the fact that they know me...but they actually sound truthful, and somehow, I felt like I could trust them.

I got up and followed them to what seemed to be Nash's car.

I sat in the backseat and we made our way to the ice cream shop.

"Seriously, you can't remember anything? Like, can't you remember that we crashed this car when we were leaving you're grandma's place after new year because we were both drunk as hell and hit a tree? Or that you named it as "Leslie" because we had just watched a movie and the main character was some Leslie guy and he had a car just like this?" Nash said "All of those unbelievably crazy things we did... Were they all erased from you're head?".

Ouch, my head hurt like hell...

"Sorry, I can't remember anything. At all" I said.

Why couldn't I remember anything? I didn't know what was going on...

"What happened to me? I mean, before I black out..." I asked, trying to figure something, anything, out.

"We were at the cinema, watching Warm Bodies and you simply blacked out, out of the blue. We tried to wake you up but you just wouldn''t open your eyes, so we carried you out of the room and called 911. Nash and I have been watching over you since then" Luna answered.

Aw, that's sweet...

"We're here" Nash announced.

I glanced at the window and saw a little ice cream shop named "Ice and taste" which seemed really nice and comfy.

I got out of the car along with Luna and Nash. He had his arms on her shoulders and she had hers wrapped around his waist since Nash was way taller then Luna.

Oooowwnn, they look so cute together...

OUCH, my head, crap! Why does it hurt so much?

We entered the shop and Nash went to order our Ice Creams.

"I would like a Vanilla ice cream, please" He told the lady.

"And I want a scoop of cookies and cream" Luna said.

"What about you, Hope?" Nash asked "Usually you'd like the mint chocolate chip along with the coffee flavor".

"Okay, then that's what I'll have, please" I told him.

The lady nodded and gave me the ice cream and we went to sit on a table outside the shop.

I tasted my food and suddenly had a huge will to throw up.

"Ugh, are you sure I like ice cream?" I asked them.

"Yeah, you basically can't survive without ice cream" Luna said.

"What's wrong? You don't like it anymore?" Nash asked licking his food.

"Sort of...it feels disgusting..." I answered.

"No problem then... ugh... Let's take you home so you can rest and we'll talk to your mom" He said.

Wait, my mom...

"Who is my mom?" I asked confused.

"Her name is Sara" Luna took her phone out of her pocket and showed me a picture of who apparently was my mother, Sara, and I.

"Every time you tell me something that I can't remember, my head hurts like hell and I feel like it will explode" I told them.

"Maybe Sara will know what to do" Nash said getting up from the chair and going to his car as we followed him "She's the best doctor you'll ever find".

We entered his car and he started driving.

"I really just don't understand why you can't remember literally anything" His voice was cracking and tears started rolling down his cheeks like a waterfall "I'm so freaking pissed".

"Hey, Nash, calm down, we'll get through this. We can also create new memories with her, right?" Luna said, trying to cheer him up somehow.

"Of course, but what about the memories we already had? It's like her brain pressed the restart button, and what can we do about that? She lost all of her memories, she can't even remember who her best friends are, her own family, hell she couldn't remember who she was! Now, enlighten me, how is that not a problem." He said angrily.

"I know, but we'll figure something out okay? Just calm down, please." She said. sounding worried and maybe even a bit scared. Nash didn't seem like one to lose his temper easily.

He started racing the car to go faster and faster hitting the wheel harder every time.

"Nash... Nash, slow down!" Luna said, this time obviously scared. "Nash!" He didn't slow down.

When he was wiping out the tears that were rolling down his face uncontrollably, he didn't saw that the sign had turned red and the cars were passing in front of us.

All I could see was a black car racing towards us as Nash's was doing the same. We crashed.
