Edmund's Pov
I wake up and my head is pounding. The light is pouring into my room and I pull the covers over my head and I let out a sigh as I remember about Adriana.

I hear my door open and I peek my eyes over the blanket and see Susan walk in with a tray of food. "How you feeling?" She asks setting the tray down on the bed. I take a deep breath and shrug my shoulders, "I've been better" I say.

"You know, we were really worried about you" she says and I raise an eyebrow, "what are you talking about?" I ask.

"You were drunk. You left the hospital and disappeared" she says. I try to remember last night but I don't remember anything, I remember leaving the hospital, but nothing after that.

At least that explains my terrible headache and stomach ache. "I'm sorry it's just-", "it's alright" Susan cuts me off.

"You're safe and that's all that matters" she says and I smile. I then stand up and head to my dresser to get dressed. I don't really care that I'm not at my best, I want to go see Adriana. "What are you doing?" Susan asks.

"Getting ready" I say picking out a top, "to go where?" She asks.

"Adriana" I say and she takes a deep breath, "Ed I'm not so sure you should-", "no I'm going" I say and nothing can change my mind.

"At least eat something before you go" she says and I grab an apple and head out the door.

I walk into the hospital and I go to Adriana's room. I take a deep breath and knock on the door. "Come in" I hear Adriana's soft voice say and I open the door. "Hello" I say.

"Hi" she smiles and it makes me smile. To see her smile just makes things better. "H- how are you?" I ask sitting down.

"Other than not being able to remember anything and having tons of stitches, great!" She smiles and I let out a muffled laugh.

"So, what's your name?" She asks, "my name's Edmund" I smile.

"Adriana, but I think you already knew that" she laughs and we shake hands, just like how we met for the first time in Narnia. I don't know if she remembers that, but I certainly do. I could never forget the first time we met.

"Well. The doctor said that I could maybe remember things if I go back to important places in my life and the camp sounds pretty important. So maybe we can go to the camp and I might remember" she says and I take a deep breath.

How do I say this, I still don't think I should say anything about Narnia, at least not yet.

"How about we go to your apartment first" I suggest and she nods, "first thing when I get out of here" she says and I nod in agreement.

"It's not bad here. You get free food whenever" I say and she rolls her eyes. "It basically hell. With fluorescent lighting" she says and I let out a laugh.

"Okay so what do you remember?" I ask, "anything?" She asks and I nod.

"Anything. Anything you remember" I say and she bites her left cheek, like she always has when she concentrates. It makes me happy some things like that haven't changed about her.

"Ummm. I remember my mum, my dad, and my brother" she says. She's never mentioned a brother before. Out of all the years, never once did it come up.
