"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! You can't leave me!!!!!", I started screaming. A bunch of nurses and doctors ran in, Dylan dragged me out.

"Stop, let me go! She needs me!", I yelled struggling against him. "You need to let the doctors do their job. You screaming at them won't help them.", Dylan said as calmly as possible.

He pulled me into a hug and kissed my head. "Everything will be okay. I'm here baby. Shhhh, I got you." I sobbed into his shirt and hugged him tighter.

We sat down in the plastic seats across her room and I heard shouting in Sara's room. Dylan's hand stroked my back slowly and he kissed me lightly.

We sat there for an hour until finally a doctor came out. He gave me a look.

In that one moment, I felt my world was completely gone. I felt there was never going to be happiness.

Because the one person who has been there for me for more than half my life is gone. I will never hear my best friend's laugh, never experience her bear hugs, never hear her cry with me during a sad movie...... It's all gone.

The memories I never got to really cherish because I took them for granted. I thought we would be the friends that grew old together and lived in a nursing home wrecking havoc. She was supposed to be my maid of honor, my child's godmother.... She was supposed to be there for me forever.

I cried until there were no more tears left. I walked into the room and held her hand. I squeezed it with all I had, giving all my hope and strength into that one squeeze.

Beep beep...... beep beep...... beep beep ..... beep beep

Is that what I think I is?

Please. I opened my eyes and there staring back at me was my best friend.

"Doctor! Doctor! Come now! She's alive!!!", a nurse yelled. I was pushed out the room but I didn't mind because she was okay. As the panic subsided, I walked into the room.

I smiled widely looking at her, she looked back at me.

The doctor told me to wait outside while he checked all the breaks and bruises on Sara.

Dylan held me in his arms and whispered. "I'm glad everything is okay with Sara."

I know it was hard for him losing his sister, I appreciated that he was trying to be happy for me.

The doctor finally let me in and I pounced on Sarai trying my best not to injure her. I began shooting questions at her with a wide grin slapped on my face.

I've never been more happy, "How are you? Does it hurt? What did you break? I'm so glad you're alive. You scared me so much. Don't ever do that again."

I gave her a another hug, I looked at her. However, I saw confusion on her face. Wasn't she happy to see me?

Maybe she was having post-traumatic stress?

"Did you hear me sing to you? I don't really know how the coma thing works....." I realized that all my questions haven't been answered yet.

I waited for her to answer.

"Im sorry. Do I know you?"

Hahahahaha for a second.... I thought you asked who I was? Of course she knows me! She can't not know me!

"She's had severe memory loss"

No.... This can't be happening. She doesn't know me?

Severe memory loss???........
