Polaroid Memory

Chapter 2

Gabbi's POV

I feel so empty as soon as I flutter my eyes open. I was welcomed by this white room with a beautiful flowers on the side of my bed.

"Gabriella, thank God you are awake!" Wait, what? What are they talking about. Who is Gabriella? Who is she?

"Cameron! Gabbi, she's awake." A girl with chestnut colored hair woke the boy up who is sleeping on the couch. What is this a hospital? So I have two names, Gabbi and Gabriella?

"Gabbi, I'm sorry." That guy name Cameron said.

"Woah, slow down. Who are you guys? Am I in a hospital? What happened to me? Who am I?" I asked them and Cameron looked like his world fell apart.

Strangers, all I see are stranger infront of me. Who are they? They all went dead silence. As soon as the doctor came in they dicuss a lot of things which from what i heard is that, I almost fell for a deep coma and I was a sleep for like three days already.

The doctor said, I could get out of the hospital by tomorrow if my findings are okay. I could go home which they said it could help gain my memory back. It would take two months to gain it back. But two months? It's so long, where would I begin it all? After all those conversation of the doctor and the woman who said she was my mom, the doctor advised me not to stress out figuring my memory and I will have to encounter headaches due to the accident that happened.

Cameron's POV

As soon as I heard her what she just asked. My world fell, my heart sank and I feel like drowning in this pain. She forgot about me, about us. It's my fault, I was the one who was driving carelessly. I remembered us telling to have the best summer before we get to college and also how those nice conversation turned into yelling. I didn't mean to hurt her.

After the accident they bought us to the hospital, I had some minor cuts and bruises but the one who had the most injures is Gabbi, I didn't want that to happened. She almost fell to a coma and now her memory was lost.

Memories, the only thing that holds her memories was the pictures. And that is the reason why I bought the box where she puts in her so called "polaroid memory" she said it'll be helpful one day. Maybe this is what she's talking about. In this hour it's only me and Gabbi, her mom decided to go home and took

some rest she's been eye-ing Gabbi since she..I
got her here.

Gabbi is looking at me, wanting me to say something yet same goes as she wanted me to keep my mouth shut.

"Familiar of this one?" I held out the box and she tilt her head and answered,

"No," why did I even asked her that? Ofcourse she doesn't remember.

"Tell me about myself?" She lightens the mood up.

"Your name is Gabriella Jameson, you're 18. You were born September 18 and you are an incoming freshmen in college. You love to do speed painting, calligraphy, writing novels and mostly to swim. You are a varsity swimmer by the way. Lastly, I'm your bestfriend Cameron." After what I told her that. Her gaze turned into the her polariod memory box.

"You asked me a while ago if I remember that that box m-mine?" She stuttered, I nod and she smiled.

"You see, this is your Polariod Memory box." I told her.

"Really? I have those polariod thingy?"

"It's your hobby, to take photographs of the special events that happened it your life and you label them too." I explained, her eyes lights up. She seemed to be happy when she heard about box.

"Can I see them?" I nod at her and I handed over the box.

"Choose any photographs and then I'll explain what happened that day."

As she quietly scanned each of the photographs, she ended up with PM (polariod memory) number 1.

"I want to start off with number 1." She sighed. This so hard for her not remembering anything and trusting her memories with somehow a stranger for her, like me.

The photograph was just the two of us in our last prom together. It was the also the day where I started to admire her more,

Polaroid memory #1, *Prom Night*

Our prom night was delayed so it took place 2 weeks before our final exams. She wore this beautiful white cocktail dress and she looks stunning, as ever.

"Stop, drooling." Gabbi teased me as tap my shoulders.

"I'm not," i defended myself with a laugh.

"Yes you are, Cameron." She chuckled.

She continued to tease me about staring at her. I can't help it. Even though she just did a little make up, her beauty is effortless.

"Cam, look at Serene over there. She looks amazing." Serene, she is my ex-girlfriend. I broke up with her because she is so girly she can't go with with my jam. Gabbi likes her so much for me, I mean she great and all but I don't just love her anymore.

As the night goes by, we danced at this slow romantic music not until Jace came. He is Gabbi's, let's say somewhat a fling at the moment. Gabbi, doesn't like serious relationships she doesn't want to get attached and be hurt.

"May I?" Jace asked for her hand, i want to answer no but who am I to say no? So I nod.

"I'm sorry Jace, my feet hurts already and I want go home." Go home? What is she talking about? I looked at her confusinly and she send me that "play-along" look.

"I understand," Jace said and bid her goodbye. As he head to get some punch. Gabbi held and we ran.

"Where are we going?"

"At the field, and besides I don't want you to be alone while I dance with Jace." She smiled and we drove to our spot, the field.

"That's it?" Gabbi asked after I finished the PM one.

"Yes,"

"Wow, we are really that close? For me to ditch uh, J-jace?" She chuckled, I nod.

"So tell me about you?"

"Me? Well, I'm just Cameron I mean my full name is Cameron Alexander Dallas. I live infront of your house and as I said I'm your bestfriend we specifically grew up together. I love to swim and to skate. And I'm also a varsity swim at our school. "

"Uh, you do ice skating?" She asked I amusingly.

"No," i laughed. "I mean skateboarding."

"What is our favorite thing to do?"

"Ice skating, hanging out at your room, we like to swim and talking while looking the stars at the field near the city's end." I explained.

"Oh," she blushed. "That sounds amazing."

The time goes by it seems like she is starting to be comfortable with me she keeps on asking me tons of questions about her life and mine also about some of our friends if she have any aside from me. She was amused to know such little things about her. I can really that she is so eager to remember everything.
