Lottery Love Series- What We Never Were (book 2) **SLOW UPDATES**

Chapter 4

Cody's POV-------------------

I quickly turned the corner, anxious. She was finally awake! Would she remember what happened, was she still up? I stopped as I saw her, she was running towards me with open arms.

"Cody!" She breathed as I caught her in a tight hug. I picked her up and spun her around a few times before setting her back down. She giggled as I tried to let go, only pulling me close again. If it weren't for Clay and everyone else just down the hall I probably would have let her.

"You look so much better, angel" I told her as we started walking down the hall to the others. She grabbed my hand. Something was different about her.

"I feel perfectly fine" She told me, leaning her head on my shoulder. Her touch threw sparks down my entire arm. Tessa gave me a stern glance as I passed, it was no secret to her that I liked Abby. I would have never tried to pull her and Clay apart, but if she likes me, she likes me. Suddenly she stopped.

"Clay? What are you doing?" She asked. Clay was talking to a doctor inside her room. I gave her a gentle push to collect her things so we could take her back to Britney's house.

Clay's POV---------------

I walked into Abby's hospital room and sat on the chair I had beside her bed. I wasn't mad at her, and as much as I hated to admit it, I couldn't be mad at Cody either. A doctor walked in and I quickly stood up. "Ex-excuse me?" I asked him. He turned around, papers in hand. "What's going on, she, she's different, there's something wrong" I told him.

"What do you mean?" The doctor asked, confused. I sighed.

"She doesn't remember"

"Amnesia?"

"No, no, she remembers, but she doesn't remember everything properly" I explained. God this doctor might put me in the hospital.

"I'm sorry that doesn't make sense," The doctor told me. I realize that. I shook my head.

"She, she's getting things mixed up" I was gripping my hair in my hands. The doctor sighed.

"She's forgotten about you hasn't she?" He asked. I nodded. "and you are... the boyfriend?" I nodded once again. "There's a ninty-nine percent chance she'll remember, by the end of the month at that. Find some stuff, something to remind her" With that, Abby walked in holding Cody's hand. She called my name, and the doctor left with a pat on the back. I turned to her, her expression worried as she saw my watery eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked wrapping her arms around my neck. I -instinctily- wrapped my arms, tight, around her waist, burying my head in her hair. Why did I feel like I was betraying Cody? She's my girlfriend... just my confused girlfriend. At that thought, I pulled her just a little closer, relieved and slightly suprised when she too tightened her hold.

"I'm just so happy you're back" I whispered in her ear. "I was going crazy with out you, Princess" I felt her smile.

"Well I'm back now, so everything's going back to normal" she said before letting go and meeting Cody. If only.

Tessa's POV------------------

June, Cody and I were all getting picked up at Britney's house, after we helped Abby settle back in. The driver came to pick us up, and for a moment everything seemed completely normal. Despite Jacob, Maddie and Carson missing everyone sat in their usual spots. June and I on the side opposite to the door and Abby between Clay and Cody beside us. That girl sure did good with guys. The only thing different was the quietness in the limo, and the way Abby's head now found its way over to Cody's shoulder rather than Clay's.

"Hey Clay, remember the time when you and Abby-" I said my gaze shifting from Cody to Clay. He was shaking his head. Abby sat upright confused.

"What? Remember the time...?" She said urging me to continue. I shook my head telling them to forget it. "Seriously" she complained.
