You Came Back (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 13

Kyle's POV

This was it. I was with my dad and Abby, at the hospital. Then straight after I'm going to see his fiance in hopes of her helping me speak again. I'd decided to give it a try, I wanted to. I was tired of being quiet. And if I got this surgery, then I could remember everything. I could remember Taylor... Where did that thought come from?

"Kyle Richards?" The secretary calls. The three of us stand up and walk to the desk. She chuckles.
"You lot are quite impressive. Room 213." She smiles. Abraham thanks her and we make our way into the room.

There's a brain scan machine and the whole room is filled with weird objects.
"Abraham! Good to see you. You must be Kyle right?" The doctor says. He has a receding blonde silver hairline, a mustard collared mustache, and has on a lab coat and baggy blue jeans.

"Alright. Well lets get started. Kyle I need you to lay down on this bed, you'll go into this machine. It'll be very loud, just try not to let it bother you. I'll ask that you and Abby leave the room due to the radiation effects. It's nothing harmful so don't worry Kyle." He says. I nod and lay down as Abraham leads Abby out of the room.

The machine starts moving and I tense. My mind soon drifts to Abraham. He hasn't known me for a month, and yet he's paying for all of these appointments. He cares more about me then it feels Helen and Sean do. I know Helen cares about me, but with Sean its weird. It's like he's disappointed in who I turned out to be. He hardly talks to me and its always strange.
With Abraham, he cares about me. He's shown that.

Before I realize what happened its over.
"Alright so here is the scan. You see the warped looking part there? That's where your memory loss is. There's a pressure build up and that's blocking it. I could release that build up, but two things could happen." I tense when he says that.
"Like what?" Abraham asks. He has his arm over my shoulders and clearly noticed my distress.

"It could retrieve the lost memories, or it could cause you to lose the rest of them. You would have to start over everything. Learning how to walk, talk. You'd have to redo schooling." I immediately want to say no.

"I'll need your final answer by the end of the week, but please think hard on it." The doctor says. I nod. We leave and my head is in the clouds. What do I do?

We make our way to the speech therapy place and I instantly grow nervous.
"Kyle I really don't want to pressure you, and I'm really sorry about this, but I have to take Abby to meet with her mother. Is it alright if I leave you here?" I gulp, but nod.
"I'm really sorry son." I love the way he says son. He means it. I give him a tight lipped smile and nod.
Then I realize I'll have no ride back. Shit.

I pull out my phone as I wait. Who has a car? I text Keith, then realize he has a class right now.
I text Taylor, feeling kind of bad that I did. Maybe I could hang out with the girls again though, I really liked them.
He replies almost instantly saying he can drive me, I send him the address.
"Kyle Richards?" The voice calls. I walk up and she gives me the room number.
I head in and see a woman with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and creases along her mouth and eyes.
"Ah yes hi Kyle. I know sign language so don't hold back talking to me alright?" I nod.

"How long has it been since you last spoke?" I think back to the accident and shiver. It's not a memory I like repeating and I still get nervous being in cars.
Not too long, I think it's around 6 months? She nods.
"Alright, that'll make my job a lot easier then." She smiles. I offer her a smile back.

"For starters, trying just mouthing the words so that your muscles can get used to speaking again. I'll book you an appointment for the same time next week and we can try speaking yea?" I nod.
"Alright well that's everything. Do try mouthing the words though. Watch how other people speak if you forget how a word would be said." I nod and she shakes my hand. I stand up and when I walk back into the waiting room I see Taylor sitting there on his phone. I walk over and tap his shoulder.
