Love Will Remember

Chapter 2

My mom returned back into the room with the doctor, and he sat down where my mom had previously been sitting.

" Jasmine, as you know you were in a car accident, can you tell what had happened?"

I stopped and thought, what had happened? How did it happen? I couldn't recall a single thing! Think Jasmine, Think!

"Ow" i said bringing my hand to my head.

"Jasmine is everything all right?"

" My head just really hurts"

"I'll get you some painkillers for that in a bit. Can you remember anything about the accident?"

" No, not s single thing!" I exclaimed

"That's quite normal, no need to get frustrated."

"No offence, doctor but if it was normal then what was the need to ask?"

"I'm just trying to help you see what you can and cannot remember, your mother said you can't remember some details of your life. I want to know if its just certain things you can't remember or a certain period of time. So Jasmine, can you tell me the last thing you remember?"

"Errm..." I paused to think, what was the last thing i remember?

" I was coming back from a party with some of my friends, i can't remember what happened after that."

"Okay, and how old were you at the time? Do you remember what month it was?"

" I was 16 and i think it was December."

"Oh Jasmine, was it when you witnessed one of your friends from school, get into a car accident?" Said mom

I thought for a minute. Who had gotten into a accident?

"Tom?!" I recalled. "Oh mom is he okay? Did they get him out the car? Is he in the hospital?"

"Honey, this was over a year ago, and he was fine, his car tipped over and wasn't even that badly injured, i think you told me he only hurt this head and that was it."

"Jasmine can you remember anything else after that? Anything at all, it have to be related to the accident."

I tried to think of something, but nothing came to my mind. My head just hurt whenever i tried to think.

"No doctor, it just really hurts my head when i try to think."

"I think when you got into the accident, you remembered what happened to your friend, and because you hurt your head, you've forgotten whats happened in your life ever since then. I would advice you not to try and remember or pressurise yourself into remembering as it could turn to be harmful for you. I cannot guarantee you will remember everything, it differs from person to person. It may take days, weeks, months and even years. Although your case is slightly different because you haven't forgotten everything, just a certain period of time, you may have a better chance of regaining your memory. I'll tell the nurse to give you some painkillers, you might be discharged tomorrow, but it all depends on how your getting on. I'll leave you two to catch up."

I just stared at the doctor on shock. One year of my life gone vanished memories I can't get back, well not easily of course. I cant believe this is actually happening to me.

I felt my eyes begin to water up, and before i knew it i was crying.

"Sweetie, please don't cry, or you'll having me crying aswell."

" I'm sorry mom, but one whole year of my life just gone, wasted! And what about school?! Everything i learnt i've forgotten, how will i work in school! And what about of i made new friends, i doubt i have but even if i did it would have been nice to recognise them. And I'm so glad i don't have a boyfriend! Even if i did have one which would be completely impossible, i couldn't go back to how things used to be! I would have no history of us, I'm glad thats one thing i don't have to worry about, because i wouldn't want to date a boy who i cant remember, and theres probably another million and one things i've forgotten! Why does life have to suck so bad?"

" oh honey, I'm sure it'll all be alright, just it time you heard what the doctor said? I'll just make a few calls to some family and your friends. We've all been worried sick. I'll be right back sweetie."

Once again i was left alone in the room. I am 17 years with no memory of one year of my life. Who knows what happened in the past year, well probably everyone but me. This is so depressing! I wonder If Tom has changed? I wonder if i've talked to him this year? I've had the biggest crush on him since the past 2 years, i means 3 years. I didn't ever think because of him i'd loose my memory, my mind, yes but not memory. I have to call Sarah up, my best friend, and ask her to give me all the gossip from the past year.

When i return to school its going to be interesting, only because i have no idea what to expect!
