Ch 6) Memories

Xander woke up in his bedroom the next morning, unsure of what happened the day before. The last he remembered was that Georgia had been questioning him about he and Regan kissing, then he slept and had the "night of his life" with Regan. But, where was Regan? He looked to the other side of his bed, but she wasn't there. " Maybe she left?" he thought. Dang. He wanted to go and show her the apartment.

He didn't see any reason to wake up right now as it was 6:34 AM, but he heard someone crying in the living room. Seeing as he needed an excuse to get out of bed, he attempted to get up, but couldn't as there was an aching pain in his head, neck and back. He thought to himself, " Maybe I was a little too rough with Regan..." Xander pushed it off for about five minutes, but couldn't wait anymore. He sucked it up, got out of bed and did his morning routine. Get up, Get Dressed, Brush Teeth, Exercise. But when he went down to exercise, he remember someone was crying. It was his mom.

Xander's dad was rubbing her back saying, " It's okay, it's okay. He is going to be fine." He told her in the same reassuring tone that regan used when Xander told her about the apartment. Scared, yet unafraid at the same time. When Xander's mom raised her head to tell his dad something, she saw Xander standing in the middle of the room confused.

It seemed like she flew off the couch. One second she was there, the next she was close to glomping Xander. "O-Oh m-m-m-my goshhhh, hon-ney... D-D-Do you remem-member wha-wha-what happened?" She asked, with her head over Xander's shoulder, sobbing so hard her words are unrecognizable.

" Mom, what do you mean, what happened yesterday?" He thought Georgia had told them. After this was done, he swore to himself he was gonna beat her to a pulp. His mom stood in silence. " Mom, what happened!?" Xander said, worried that it was more than just that. Someone obviously got hurt.

" T-The d-d-doctors told us ya-you might n-not re-remember what hap-happened. I c-c-can't blame you, you hit-hit your he-head on the pavement and because you hyperventilated, your, your brain is swelling up and two your brain was deprived of oxygen for an extended amount of time." His mom told him. She could not explain clearly, or in chronological order, but Xander got the message. She then explained the whole ordeal and let him hear his phone call to the police. Xander's dad did't know what to say, so he just sat and listened. Xander had to sit down. He plopped onto the couch next to his dad and began to cry.

" Where is she?!" Xander asked in a demanding manner.

" At, Boulvardi Hospital in the ER." Xander's dad answered, knowing how stressed his son must be, he lets the attitude slip.

Xander jumps off the couch, storms into his car and breaks the speed limit by about 11 miles 5 times trying to get there.
