Remembering Our Dance |Shelax|

Chapter 16

Shelby

After a few minutes of waiting, I saw his car pull up to the driveway.

I sat up and quickly walked up to it.

I opened the car door to the passenger's side and Max drove off.

"How are you?" I asked Max.

"I should be asking you that question! You had amnesia!"

"Yeah, but I remember now. I'm honestly fine."

"Alright. What does it feel like? To not remember anything?"

I hesitated before responding. "It's weird. It's like knowing that you know something, and it's vital to remember, but you can't just stop and think. You have to keep going. And you have no time to think, so if you mess up, you have no way of redeeming yourself. I know it's not my fault, but I'm mad at myself for not only forgetting what it was that bound us, but also forgetting that we had a bond to begin with."

"Shelby, you know it's not your fault."

"Yes it is! I crashed the car, which caused Liz to potentially lose her baby and-"

"Liz lost her baby!?"

"She could've. It's too early to decipher." I looked down.

"Oh. So that's why she's been acting that way."

"Like I said, it's all my fault."

"No it's not. The drunk guy crashed into you."

"That's what happened?" I asked.

Before I could hear his answer, I tried to remember what happened.

I remember randomly seeing a car turn out from the corner and then screams.

"So that's what happened." I muttered.

"Yeah." Max answered.

We turned to our street and pulled into the driveway.

"I'll set up the movie and you get food?" Max asked me.

"Sure."

I got out of the car and so did Max.

Max walked downstairs while I looked through the cabinets for popcorn. 

I shoved a bag in the microwave and walked upstairs.

I was wearing Liz's clothes because she brought me clothes to the hospital and I forgot to give them back.

I changed out of my clothes and put on comfy appropriate pajamas. 

Keeping my bra on of course. 

After I changed, I heard the microwave go off so I walked downstairs to the kitchen.

I dumped the popcorn in a bowl then looked through the cabinet for some other food.

I saw some M&M's and some twizzlers.

Urg. They probably have been doing their grocery shopping themselves and bought nothing healthy.

But that's okay now because I have a human growing inside of me-

I have a human growing inside of me.

I snapped out of it, and grabbed the candy and walked downstairs.
