New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 40,

Monday, a day later;

I slowly opened my eyes and got blinded by the big light above me, causing me to groan and shift in the bed. I heard mumbles from someone, like they were fast asleep. I slowly fluttered my eyes open and watched how Matt and Nash came into vision as they were passed out on the chairs. I smiled and sat myself up properly, watching Matt slowly start to stir awake. 

As he woke up, he yawned and stretched his arms out causing my to yawn. We both giggled and yawned again, causing us to grin. I still can't get over the fact that they are here, which is totally strange for me. But what happened to me? 

"Morning beautiful," Matt slowly widened his eyes so he could see. "Morning," I softly smiled. 

"Need anything?" He asked. "I am a bit thirsty," I cracked a smile as I didn't want to be a pain. 

"I'll get you some water," Matt kissed the top of my head and stood up; soon walking out. 

I smiled to myself and slowly rolled my head over to look at Nash, who was peacefully laying there minding his own business. I tried to think what happened yesterday, but it feels like a big blank of paper slotted into my mind and cut my memory out. 

I sighed and tapped my fingers along the back of my hand and watched Nash slowly stir awake, causing a smile to grow upon my lips. He stretched his arms out and yawned, causing me to yawn once again. The both of us started to laugh, causing me to feel a bit better. 

"Where's Matt?" He said after laughing. "Gone to get me some water," I softly spoke. 

"How did you sleep?" He asked as I shrugged. "I don't know. I kept waking up with this nightmare, but it was white. It scared me. But I kept on thinking about how I ended up in here," I said.

"So you don't remember why you are in here exactly?" Nash asked as he didn't know how to respond. "Mhm. Do you?" I slowly raised an eyebrow. 

"Yes. But they said it's better off for you to remember on your own. But when you remember a specific thing, please don't get mad," He said as his eyes lost connection with mine. "What do you mean? What has happened?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I'm back," Matt came into the room and caught Nash's and I's attention. "Thank you," Nash threw his arms up in the air and sighed of relief. 

"Nash-," I said before I got cut off. "Here you go little one," Matt smiled as he handed me the water bottle. 

"Thank you," I grabbed the water bottle off of him and slightly looked at Nash; knowing I wouldn't get an answer. 

I sighed and looked down, going to open it up. I placed my somehow trembling fingers upon the cap and went to twist it, but I would budge. I twisted harder as my fingers slipped, the cap not moving or opening. I groaned and then had a sudden mind blank, my mind screaming at me that I forgot how to open up a cap. 

"H-how do I open this?" I started banging the bottle onto the side of the bed as I wanted it open. "You were just doing it before?" Nash said as I looked up at him. 

"Huh?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "You twist the cap," Nash pointed to the cap.

I went to twist it, but I started flicking the cap as twisting didn't do anything. 

"What are you doing? You know how to open a water bottle," Nash chuckled as I was stupid. 

I gulped and looked back down at the water bottle, freaking out because I didn't have a clue. 

"Dude, you remember when the doctor said that Maddie will forget how to do things? Well we need to help her," Matt said as I slowly looked back up to him. "Oh shit, Sorry Mads," Nash took the water bottle off of me and tried to give me an apologetic look.
