I Don't See The Progress Being Made

Chapter 14

Demi's POV

   That night...

       My visit with Simon and Delilah went pretty overall. There were a few awkward moments here, but not as much as I thought there would be. We talked about everything under the sun, ate amazing food, and looked at pictures. By looking at pictures, I mean Simon brought tons of photo albums to try to jog by memory. Unfortunately, very little came back to me. Simon tried to hide his disappointment but it was plastered all over his face.

        It sucks not being able to remember some of the biggest events of my life. I mean I remember my breakthrough in show business, my Disney days, and a couple of the tours (excluding the one I did with Nick). I'm trying my best here. My doctor says that I'm making progress, the thing is I just don't see it.  I keep telling myself not to breakdown when Delilah says how much she loves me or when Simon talks about our marriage with so much joy. Sometimes, I feel like I don't deserve this seemingly wonderful family. A damaged person doesn't deserve the love that they are giving me. I don't want to give them constant pain day in and day out. If things don't change soon, I'm going to tell Simon these exact words, in which he'll find a way to condense it so Delilah can understand too. 

Simon's POV

     I tuck Delilah into bed. As I go to shut her lights off, she beckons for me to come back. "What is it sweetie?" She smiles coyly at me. "It was nice seeing mommy, even if she doesn't know me." I try to hide my shock. "How do you know that?" "I may be four, but I'm pretty smart. I hope she does remember." I kiss her forehead. "I hope so. Now please to go to bed." I shut her lights off and tell her good night." I then head to bed myself due to the exhaustion of a long day. I hit the bed and fall asleep nearly instantaneously. 

Hoped that you guys liked this chapter! I just wanted to let you guys know I'm going to be busy the next couple of days so there won't be another update until at least Saturday. Tomorrow is my spring concert and Friday is prom. :) -Mary
