Help Me Forget

Did you cheat on me?

Chapter 23:

*keegan's pov*

The last time I saw rowen was this morning when I drove her to school. I haven't seen her the rest of the day and I was starting to get worried. She wasn't at lunch or any of the classes we had together. I was thinking she just got sick and brushed it off. I would stop by her place tonight anyways. We had to take her to her first doctor's appointment since the accident to see how her memory was doing.

After school I drove to Rowen's house and prayed that she was okay. I walked up to her front door and rang the door bell. I heard some shuffling and the door opened. There stood rowen with half of her face covered with her hand.

"Hey Keegan what's up?!" She asked pretending her hand wasn't even on her face.

"Why is your hand covering your face?" I asked suspiciously.

"Oh it's nothing.. I-I'm just cold that's all." She let out a small laugh. I could tell she was lying. I reached out and grabbed her hand but she kept it there.

"Don't." She whispered looking down.

I tilted her chin up to look me in the eyes.

"It's okay." I told her, "you can show me."

She let go of her face and slowly put it down to her side. I looked at her face and that's when I saw the bruise blooming on her left cheek. I gasped.

"What the hell happened?!" I asked. I was beyond furious. Who had the right mind to touch her like this. Especially my rowen.

"Someone hit me." She told me barely above a whisper.

"Who.?" I demanded.

"It doesn't matter." She told me and looked at the ground.

"Yes it does rowen. Someone physically harmed you and when I find out who it is I will harm-" she cut me off.

"No you can't harm them! You can't BECUASE Chloe was the one who hit me! You can't harm a girl! She can only harm me okay?!" She screamed at me with tears running down her face. She turned around and slammed the door.

I was in shock.

I slammed the door behind me and slid down the door. The tears flooded in pools down my cheeks and they wouldn't stop. I heard Keegan knocking on the door trying to get me to open it but I was paralyzed and I couldn't move. It made me feel helpless without my memory without knowing what's going on. I don't even know what Chloe was talking about when she said Keegan broke up with her and went to me. I was expecting the worst. All I had to do was hear it from him.

I stood up and swung the door open.

"Were you cheating on me?" I asked Keegan. He stood there in pure shock. Not expecting my question obviously.

"W-what?"

"You heard me." I whispered and looked away from him. "Did you.?" I asked again.

I could tell the pain in his voice was breaking him. "Yes." He whispered.

I sighed. I knew it. Of course I knew it. I knew that no boy could help me forget and help me move on. I knew no one could help me become a new person and start a life again. And I definitely knew deep down that love didn't exist for me.

"I need to go." I told him.

"What do you mean?" He asked me.

"I need to go to my doctors appointment." I told him seriously.

"Right." He said and nodded his head. He turned around and walked to his car slowly. I followed closely behind.

The car ride there was completely silent. You could feel the tension everywhere and anywhere. You could breathe the tension in.

Once we got there I got out of the car an he did to. I stopped him.

"Stay here." I told him.

"Wha-" he started but I cut him off.

"I don't want you to come with me." I told him with a straight face.

He looked crushed and the minute I said it I immediately wanted to take it back. He nodded his head and sat back into his car.

I walked into the hospital slowly, not really thinking at the moment. It felt like I was in a dream an I couldn't shake myself awake. I wish I could remember an I wish I could forget. I just needed help.

I signed in and waited in the waiting room. When my name was called I walked into the office. I sat there and waited for dr. Bailey to come and check me over again. I put in my hospital gown and sat on the examining table.

Dr. Bailey walked in. "Hello rowen how are you." She asked me.

"Good." I responded with a half smile.

She nodded her head and told me that we were going to have to do a CAT scan on my brain to see my brain activity. I agreed and got into the table while she put a weird brace thing around my head and pushed me into this big machine. It took about 15 minutes for her to examine an pull me back out.

"It'll take about 30 minutes to get your results." Dr. Bailey told me.

I nooses my head and decided to text Keegan to tell him to go home.

Me: go home. It'll take about another hour and I don't want to make you wait.

Keegan: okay please tell me what happens.?

Me: okay.

I couldn't bring myself to talk to him anymore after what happened to us earlier.

That's when dr. Bailey came in.

"Rowen we have some good news."
