Being Married to Sal

Cello

(This chapter is going to be confusing. I'm flat out saying that from now on, I'm going to have amnesia. Why? You'll find out.)

Sal looked in the direction I was standing and I heard him whispered, "Do that again." I put my hand back on his and this time he didn't flinch. I saw him smile, "I know you're here. You know we need you." "I know," I said not knowing if he could hear. He must've heard something from me because he grinned. "Come home to us." 'Who's us?' I thought. Wait I'm losing my memory. No. I can't forget Sal.

I then closed my eyes and felt my actual self-wake up. I looked up and stared at a 21-year-old, I think. He had blonde hair, which did not suit him. His eyes were a bright green and he needed to shave. "Haley? Are you okay?" "Who are you?" I asked. "Oh no, not this again." "What again? Who the hell are you?" "I'm," he thought and then said, "Ja'crispy." "Ja'crispy? What kind of name is that?" "A stage name."

A stage name? What the hell? Why the fuck would he need a stage name? It's not like he goes on stage. What even is a stage? "Why the fuck would you need a fucking stage name? It's not like you go on stage if that's even a fucking thing." "I do go on stage, well I used to, and a stage is something you stand on." "What the hell do you mean by used to?" "I don't go on stage anymore. I stopped filming Impractical Jokers." "Impractical Jokers?" "Oh my god, this is gonna take forever."

"What the fuck will?" I demanded. He sighed, "Just wait, I'll be right back." He then walked out a swinging thing. (Yes, that's called a door. Don't be a stupid bitch. Also don't be a basic bitch.) I could hear muffled voices and then someone else walked in, wearing a white coat. She walked over to me with a sharp thingy and I looked at her. If she's putting that in me, she's fucking nuts. She took my arm and I quickly yanked back. "Haley, give her your arm!" Ja'crispy snapped.

I looked at him and when I didn't move he took my arm and held it so the female could stick that thing in me. I looked away and yelped when it went through my arm. (I'm not afraid of needles, but since I have amnesia in here it makes sense to be afraid of things.) "You're fine. It's not gonna kill you." "Take her ring off," the woman said. Ja'crispy took my left hand and there was what I assumed a ring that he took off. "What did you tell her?" "Just my stage name." "So she doesn't know about them and him?" "No, and I don't plan on telling her about him."

"Him?" I questioned. "Nobody," he snapped. I shrunk away from him and pulled my hand away from him. "Maybe you should go sit. She's afraid of you," the girl said. He sighed and walked out. "You're okay. He just overreacts a lot." "Who's them and him?" "Them is your children. Him is actually 2 guys that I will not speak of for your sake." I was so confused I couldn't even think of things to say.

"I'm gonna tell you things if you ask me. I just can't answer some things." "Okay, so what's his real name?" "Who? Ja'crispy?" I nodded and she sighed in relief...I think. "His name is Sal." "What's he like?" "He's sweet, loving, and cares so much about his family." "Then why did he snap at me?" "Because he doesn't want anything screwed up and he doesn't want bad things in your head. That needle I put in your arm is supposed to help bring certain things back."

"Why does he care about me?" "Because you're his family." "What?" "He's married to you. Of course, he's gonna care about you. You met in 2012 in Pennsylvania, where you used to live, and had a daughter, with twins on the way." "But I'm only what? 20?" "Yeah, you're 20. You'll be 21 in September." "How old is he?" "21." So I was right. "He really does love you. He's just stressed. So much has happened and today marks the 7 years since you 2 met."

I stayed silent and she unhooked me from the wire thingy. "You're clothes are in the bathroom." I nodded and got out of the hard thing I was laying on. I walked into the bathroom and changed. I was more comfortable and relaxed. I then walked out and the doctor was waiting for me. She handed me a device and said, "I'm signing you out. You can go home." I smiled and followed her. I then saw Sal sitting down and he glanced at me.

"Hey Ashley, can you take this to Mike?" She asked handing Ashley a paper. "Yeah, what's wrong?" "She just has amnesia and we successfully took out the brain tumor causing the cancer." "Do you think she'll live longer then what we said last time?" "She'll definitely live to be around 60 or so." "I had cancer?" I asked. "Yeah. You're okay now though." I smiled lightly. "Okay, so I need you to take these twice a day," she told me holding out a container. "What is it?" "It's supposed to help you regain your memory." "Oh, okay. Thank you. I appreciate this." The girl smiled and nodded. "You're free to go now."

I turned around and saw Sal with 2 girls. "Haley, this is Kerri," he said pointing to the one with a nose ring, "and this is Shauna," he pointed to the other one. I smiled and then took Sal's hand. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Is it wrong to hold my husband's hand?" "She told you didn't she?" "She told me you're real name, about us, and the kids." He sighed and smiled. I walked out and stopped. I heard Sal laugh and pull me to a black thing.

"What's this?" "It's a car. It takes us places." "Time travel?" "No," he smiled. I shook my head and got in. I was silent the whole way. I looked at my device thing and pressed a button. The screen then lights up. "Is this us?" I asked showing Sal the screen. He glanced over and nodded, "Yeah, back in 2012. You were 14 and I think I was 16."

I looked at how young I was and frowned. It's like I know this, but not every detail. "Didn't you give me something there?" "Yeah, my number." I knew he gave me something. He then stopped the car and I got out. He led me into a place and I looked around. "We live here. It's called a house or home." I nodded glancing up the stairs. I walked up to them and saw a door that looked like it's been closed for awhile. I opened the door and there on the floor sat a cello in its case. I slowly walked in and took it out of the case. It's felt so familiar to touch one. I don't know why I remember what it was called. I knew it had to be out of tune, so I tuned it and grabbed the bow. I knew the whole song of Viva La Vida, so I played that.

That's when so many things hit me. Lindsay, Sarah, everything. I've always had the love for the cello. I then remembered Joe and Shane, and I almost dropped the instrument thinking about them. Everything hit me hard, but one thing hit me in particular. I laid the cello down and ran down the stairs. I needed to see my orchestra teacher back in Pennsylvania.

Sal stepped in the way and I almost ran into him. "Where are you going?" I needed to lie. "To Murr's house." "Okay." He then let me go and I texted Murr telling him that if Sal asks, I'm there. He said fine and I sighed. I ran to the airport and bought a ticket to Pennsylvania.
