-2 weeks later-

I was sitting beside Luke's hospital bed, all by myself.
Hayden wasn't here, but she left to go shopping or some shit. I hope her 6 inch heels cause her to fall break her neck. I hate her. She walks in here all the time, and holds Luke's hand, and I'm surprised at this point that she hasn't tried to make out with him. 

I sat there holding Luke's hand, and I felt him squeeze back.
My head shot up, and I looked at my beautiful boyfriend, who was staring directly at me.
I saw his blue eyes staring into mine, and I felt so relieved to see those gorgeous eyes once again.
I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, and squeezed him. I began crying, but this time it wasn't because my boyfriend was fighting for his life. It was because he was awake, and aware. I couldn't be happier at this point.
"Luke I thought you'd never wake up." I say, continuing to cry.
Luke seemed confused, and finally he spoke.
"Umm. Who are you?" He asks, and it felt like a million knives in my chest. I knew it.
My dreams, well nightmares, were right. And now they weren't just in my sleep. They were my reality now. I slowly turned around, and walked out of the room, and bumped into Michael. Michael looked down at me, and he must've seen the hurt in my eyes, because he instantly pulled me into a hug.
I began sobbing even harder.
"He's awake. . . But he doesn't remember me." I shout, and Michael squeezes me even tighter. When me and Michael pull away, he insists that he goes and sees him, to see if he remembers him.
Me and Michael both walk in, and Luke's eyes light up with excitement.
"Michael!" He exclaims, and Michael smiles and walks over to Luke and leans down to hug him.  My chest felt even tighter than before. I am probably the only one he doesn't remember, and that breaks my heart.

Minutes later, I hear the sound of heels clicking against the floor coming towards the room, from the hallway.
I roll my eyes.  It's Hayden. I just know it. She walks in, and Luke looks over to her and smiles.
"Hayden.." He whispers, and smiles.
"I missed you." He continued.
She walks over to him, and hugs him, smirking at me as she does so.  I bite my tongue, and stop myself from spilling out all of the insults and curse words running through my mind.

I was so confused. Please don't tell me that Luke thinks she is-

My thoughts were cut off by Luke's raspy voice.
"Hayden, you're the best girlfriend ever. I can't believe you stayed here all the time while I was asleep."

My mind was reeling. "Girlfriend."
I knew it.  Luke had forgotten about me completely, and was convinced that Hayden was his girlfriend.  Great.

Michael noticed the hurt in my eyes, and he walked over to me, grabbed my arm, and pulled me out of the hospital room.
We walk into waiting room, and as soon as I sat down, I lost it.  I began sobbing uncontrollably, and Michael just held me. 

I just sat there, in Michael's arms, as my soft cries echoed throughout the small waiting room.
