I Am Forgotten

I Am Forgotten 

Chapter 11

Simon's POV

  Demi just got out of surgery and she's in recovery. Nick and I were allowed to come in as  soon as she got settled. I'm just thankful that the doctor kept his word about Demi being alive because she is indeed alive, despite not being awake yet. Nick has been good about getting me anything that I need such as food and water as well as checking up on how Joe's handling Delilah. 

  "Hey Simon. I have to use the bathroom, but I will be right back. I nod and let him do so. Right when he gets up, an arm grabs him. The funny thing is it's not my arm nor Demi's doctor. I look up and my eyes bug out of my head when I see that it's Demi's. I put a hand over my mouth. Oh my god, Demi's awake. That's amazing. Despite my joy, the fear quickly sets in. She's probably not going to remember me. Her eyes flutter open delicately and she takes in her surroundings. She smiles at Nick. "Nick, it's been forever. I've missed you so much. We haven't hung out since we wrapped filming on Camp Rock 2." Nick becomes taken a back, but tries to hide it. "Demi, Camp Rock 2 wrapped several years ago." She raises her eyebrows in confusion. 

    "No that can't be. It's 2012." I step forward. "No Demi, it's 2016 now." Fear arises in her posture and facial expression. "I'm sorry, but who are you?" The lump that was building in my throat takes full effect and I back out of the room. I bump into Demi's doctor in the hall. He asks me if she's awake yet and I nod. When he goes into her room, I slide down outside of the door and sit on the ground with my head in my hands. Nick comes running out after me. He sits beside me.

     Hatred swells within me. "I hope you're happy Nick. She has managed to forget the last six years of her life, including our marriage and Delilah. How am I going to tell our daughter that her mommy has no memory of her? She's four years old. I can't parent her alone. She needs her mother. I guess the good thing is she remembers you right. Now you can mess with her head and make her believe anything that you want her to." 

      "Simon, I'm going to let that go for now, but Demi doesn't remember the tour we performed on together or anything else that her and I did together in the last six years. She thinks that we just finished Camp Rock 2. Obviously things have changed significantly since then. We just have to be gentle with her and not overwhelm her with a million questions. I know it's tempting, but please don't. I'll talk to her alone and try to get some answers." 

      I roll my eyes and wipe tears out of my plane of vision. "Oh Nick, it makes me feel so much better having you in a hospital room with my wife who you are madly in love with. For all I know, she could develop feelings for you. If that happens, you will have won. Not only will you have destroyed my family, but you will have destroyed my purpose of living." I pick myself up and walk down the hall to the bathroom to clean myself up a bit. That's about the only thing I can manage to do right now.
