   Stampy's POV

   Nothing even happened to me.  I was completely fine. Apparently the impact was mostly on Sqaishey's side.  She was unconscious in another room while I paced around the waiting room.  A doctor came in.  "I need to see Joseph Garrett, please."  I walked into a lobby area with many doors around it.  One was Sqaishey's room.  I pictured her unconscious in a bed, having sweet dreams instead of the nightmare that my life is becoming.  "You're here for Bethany Bates, correct?"  I nodded.  He jotted something on a clipboard.  "Is she going to be okay?"  I couldn't help but ask.  The doctor replied, "The accident caused some scratches on her face and arm. Those will heal over time.  She did break a leg, so she'll be wearing a cast for a while. Other than that.....Oh."  The doctor looked sympathetically at me.  "What is it?"  He replied sadly, "It looks like Bethany has temporary amnesia."  I was shocked. "The head injury lead to memory loss. It could last anywhere from two days to six weeks." 

   I felt tears welling up in my eyes.  After all of this time, all of our happy times since she got here.  It would all be gone.  She wouldn't remember me or herself or anyone.  A nurse waled up to the doctor and me.  "Bethany is awake if you would like to see her, Mr. Garrett."  She looked sad for me. That was never a good sign.  I followed her into Sqaishey's room.  I saw her in her bed. She was pale and looked nothing like herself.  It was like looking at a stranger.  "Are you here to give me more medication?" she said, looking directly at me.  "Sqaishey, do you remember anything?"  The nurse gave me a strange look, as if I'd said something wrong.  "Who's Sqaishey?  I thought my name was Beth."  I couldn't hold it in any longer.  Tears streamed down my face.  "No, it's not....Well it is, but..."  I trailed off
