Okay, I know I said I would update again after the last chapter. But this chapter is extremely long. And you learn so much. So please don't be upset.
I was really confused on how exactly Andrew knew where I lived. Also about why his family was being so strange around me, and why his mom was crying.
But I wasn't going to stress about it now. I had to go with my brother to my doctors appointment. I hate doctors appointments. Like, I know that the average person doesn't like them too much either. But I hated them with all I had. It was just a constant reminder of what had happened. I don't want to remember what happened.
I honestly just want it all to be over already.
I walked in the house to Charlie and told him I was there. He walked down the stairs and got into his car with no words, and I did the same.
This is how it went once a month. He took me to the hospital to see Dr. Sofia. And nether of us would talk because my condition would remain the same. No changes. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. But it wasn't good either.
When we got to the hospital parking lot we still had not spoken. We walked in this way and I went to sit down in one of the waiting room chairs while Charlie checked me in.
We waited there for about 6 minutes before Dr. Sofia came out to get us. The appointments were always scheduled on the same day, same time. So she made shire to have a cleared schedule just in case.
"Hey, Char" she said.
"Hey Sofi" I replied as we walked to her office. We have gotten pretty close recently due to the accident, and since I had to see her a lot after those first few weeks.
"So..." She said as we walked through the door and I sat on the examination table.
"Anything change." She said.
"Nope"
"No new memories. Nothing different?"
"I don't think so..."
About half a year ago me and our parents got into a car accident. My parents were in the front seats when we crashed into a semi. All I remember is being carried out of the car and seeing groceries all over the street.
I can't remember anything that happened before that. I can't remember my parents. I can't remember my friends, if I even had any. And I feel bad cause I can't remember my brother, but I am great full that he has been here to help me try to remember some things.
School was awful for a while. I had to have tutor sessions with my teacher to relearn all the things from the last few years. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be though. Since I had no friends I had tons of time to study. Now after six months I am all caught up and am taking regular classes. If I put more effort I could probably be in AP classes. But I don't want to do that because I have too much going on as it is.
"Maybe it is just something familiar?"
"Actually.... I went over to this new friends house earlier..."
"And did you know this friend before?"
"I don't thinks so. He didn't say anything. And he just moved to our school."
"What is his name?"
"Andrew" when I said this, my brothers head shot up. And Sofi notices also.
"Do you know him" Sofi asks Charlie.
"Um ya, but it is probably a different Andrew. You said this one just moved here. So it couldn't be him."
"Okay then. Anything else Char?"
"His family looks familiar too. And when I met his parents his mom started to cry."
"Hmmm."
"It was weird"
"Okay, she could have been crying for another reason. And maybe it was something in the house that signaled a feeling like it was familiar."
"Okay. But it was just so strange."
"Maybe go back and try and see what triggered the memory. If that would be okay with Andrew of course."
"Okay. I'll talk to him about it. It will just be hard, cause that means I will have to tell him what happened. I'm already a freak at school. I don't need the only person besides Riley who has tried to be my friend to think I am a freak as well."
"If he is a friend he will understand. And this is really important. This could be the start to you being able to remember some things. Even small things will help so much."
"Okay. I'll talk to him about it soon."
"Okay. Anything else?"
"Well my fish Philip is talking to me"
"Oh sure," she knows I'm joking "and I suppose this is a ghost fish too"
"Yup"
"Kay, so that is gonna be all for this session. I know it may not feel like it now, but we are making great progress. You are doing great."
"Okay, thank you Sofi."
"Okay, see you next month. And if you need me sooner you know my number. Just text or call me as needed."
"Okay, Bye" and with that she left.
I followed my brother out of the hospital and into the car then we started to drive off. Why couldn't I remember. Why did I remember a piece of freaking furniture or something that is so materialistic but I can't remember my dam parents. I mean, what the hell is wrong with me that I remember furniture rather than them. I miss them, or the thought of them. I miss remembering. I miss the memories that I don't know of, of the things that happened that I may never know.
We stopped at the house and my brother turned off the car and unbuckled his seatbelt to face me.
"What is wrong?" He asked me.
"I... Can't remember...." I couldn't finish that sentence cause my then I bursted into tears. My brother knew exactly why I was sad. And deep down I think it is because he is upset too. That I vaguely remember something, but my parents or him are not. And the memories of them are still no where to be found.
He got out of the car when he saw me crying. He went to my side of the car and opened the door. I couldn't help but sob at this point, as he picked me up and carried me into the house. He walked in, me still in his arms and went to sit on the living room couch and sat down. He just held me there, in his arms, slowly rocking us back and forth.
"It will be okay," he whispered "even if you don't remember. We will be okay."
I slowly started to calm down and now was just hiccuping from all the crying. I eventually nodded off and fell asleep in the arms of the only person I had left.
