Line of Time

The Cutie Girl and the Giant

When Tino woke up he was looking up at ceiling and bright white lights. He brought his hands up to cover his eyes and he knees came up under the bed's blanket's. He heard people move around the room he was in but he couldn't make out what they were saying.

He looked around and saw a woman, three boys and then him... He took a minute to adjust his eyes. His ears soon did the same.

"Tino, thank heavens your alright..." Miss Green said as she petted his hair and he lowered his hands but a look of confusion stayed on his face.

"You hit your head pretty bad, you've been out for a long time..." Lukas said as he looked over at him. Tino sat up and looked at them all with confusion clear on his face.

"Who are you all? Where are my parents?" Tino asked in Finnish. Miss Green's eyes went a little wide and the doctor walked in. Tino watched as he didn't understand what they were saying be he felt like his question was being ignored. He didn't understand what was going on and he didn't know these people or at least he didn't think he knew these people. He didn't recognized this place and no one was telling him anything and this scared him. No, it terrified him, the last thing he remembered he was being dropped off at his Nana's house for the day to help her while his parents went to go do some shopping in the city. He felt tears well up in his eyes and then burn down his cheeks.

Gunnar and the rest of them looked over at him, even the doctor.

"Tino, what's wrong is it your head?" Miss Green asked.

"Who are you people, where am I? Where's my Nana and parents?" Tino sobbed as he looked around the room. Miss Green's face dropped.

"What's he saying, do you know?" The doctor asked.

"He's asking where he is, who we are and where his family is..." Miss Green answered.

"He dose know you all, correct?" The doctor said as he eyed them suspiciously.

"Of course he doses, he attends the world academy with the rest of these boys, he lives with all of us off campus." Miss Green said as she looked to the other boys and they nodded.

"In that case... he could has amnesia, he did hit his head and it is possible. If it is, his memories should come back at one point." The doctor said.

"What do you mean at one point?" Mathias asked a bit stupidly.

"It means, his memories could come back in an hour, a day, week, month or it could come back in years. You can never tell with these things, the mind is a tricky thing. Maybe if you bring him somewhere that's familiar he'll remember." The doctor stated.

"Like seeing people he's close to?" Bernard asked.

"Yes." The doctor replied.

"That could be difficult..." Miss Green said.

"How so?..." The doctor questioned.

"His parents are dead and his Grandmother is in Finland... I don't think he remembers that he moved here or that their both dead..." Miss Green said as she looked over at Tino who sat on the bed and hugged his knees as he cried and looked around the room at them all.

"He's retracted himself into a mind set that he longs for... This could change a lot... he might never remember anything about that... His mind is blocking out a traumatic event for his own well being. Remembering that could have very negatives affects on him if he has to relive it all again. In this case I advise you to not erg him to remember anything." The doctor concluded as he handed Miss Green a form saying that Tino was free to leave the hospital with them.
