Recollection

My Savior

After I told the doctor what I saw in my dream...

"She may be able to remember things if she sees things that are memorable to her. So, as of now, she may be released but, she must stay here for a bit. I might need to check up on her" -Doc

"Yes doc." -Mom

Mom left me and the doc was checking up on me.

I saw a guy at a corner. He sports a silver messy hair underneath his black hoodie. He was also wearing black skinny jeans. He looks tall, taller than me. I felt a chill in my spine. I wonder who he is. He looked... somewhat familiar. My inner voice is shouting, "I've seen him before." But, I can't quite remember.

Right, amnesia.

He was looking down at the floor with sad eyes. He looked at me suddenly. He must have sensed that I was somehow staring at him. I haven't looked away from him. He smiled at me and waved like a kid, and I smiled.

A nurse came near to the doctor. And saw me staring at the guy.

"Hi miss. Are you looking at that guy?" -Nurse

I was surprised by the nurse. I just nodded at her and she smiled. She leaned close to me. She whispered.

"He was the one who brought you here that night." -Nurse

My eyes widened. H-Him? Who is he in my life?

When I was about to turn to the nurse who whispered at me. She was already gone.

"Okay Miss Preston. You may leave the hospital. Your mom should be outside, waiting for you." -Doctor

"O-okay. Thank you." -Me

While I was about to leave the hospital, I felt a hand tap my shoulder. I turned around just to see the silver-haired guy that was at the corner, is now right in front of me. My heart began to race and I felt my cheeks burning up.

He must have saw the faint tint of the color red present on my cheeks. I quickly looked away as I heard him chuckle.I decided that I should leave, but then I remembered what the nurse said.

"I... I want to say thank you." -Me

I looked down at the floor.

"What are you thank you for?" -???

His voice somehow sounds happy, yet incomplete. He lifts his gaze and stares into me. Almost burning a hole in my face--if that was possible.

I gained the strength to actually look at him.

"For saving me" -Me

My heart was beating so fast, it could be as fast as running 1st place on a marathon. It was also beating so loud and I silently hope that only I can hear it. His lips started to form a smile. His eyes filled with happiness. His dimples showing...

Wait. Why am I noticing all of this all of a sudden?

I felt my cheeks turn more red as roses. I suddenly felt a cold hand pressed against my forehead.

"Are you sick? You're steaming hot. Like really..." -???

"U-Uhmn... I-I'm fine..." -Me

I felt like I've seen those concerned eyes before. I just can't put my finger to it.

And why am I even blushing? What the heck. I have a boyfriend.

On the other hand, maybe he knows me before... Maybe I can ask his name.

"Can I ask you a question?" -Me

"You already did, silly. But, sure. Go ahead." -???

He gives me this reassuring smile. All bright with dimples. Enough of that. The moment of truth, Gia.

"What's your name?" -Me

Before he answers my question, he cups my cheek and leans in closer to my ear. And again, I felt a familiar chill travel down my spine.

"Max." -Max

He pulled away and smiled at me innocently. He waved goodbye and left me standing there, frozen. I have felt... I have felt this before. I can't remember when.

My mind is a mess, and my heart is still racing. Cheeks still flushed as I stared at the empty space where he stood not a minute before. My feet still rooted to the floor until my mom snapped me out of the trance when she called my name. Thrice.

"Coming mom!" -Me

I snapped from my thoughts, and went to the car with mom. It was a silent drive on the way home.

~~~

Time check: 11:10PM

I still can't fall asleep. My thoughts are drowning me. Who was he in my life? Why did I felt that chill on my spine? What's his real name? Why do I care so much about him?Why do I want to uncover the mystery he's surrounded by?

I tossed and turned on my bed. I really can't sleep.

Max.

I keep on repeating his name in my mind.

Max. Max. Max.

Who were you in my life?

I tried hard to remember, even just the bit of it. I really can't seem to remember anything. The way he smiled at me and the way his eyes showed concern... The way he cupped my cheeks with his cold hands earlier, his warm breath by my ears. And how could I not forget that damn chill I felt when he whispered his name.

"Max"

I grabbed a pillow and placed it on my face. I sighed in defeat. I really can't remember him but, I yearn to see him again. I want to know. I need answers to these stupid questions flooding in my mind.

As an hour passed, I felt the urge to sleep. So I closed my eyes, calmed my thoughts, and went to sleep.

~~~

The sound of the knocking coming from my door woke me up. I groaned as the knocks on the door continues.

"Gia! Wakey wakey!" -Mom

I heard my mom call out to me. I sleepily got off my bed, and opened the door.

"Yes mom?" -Me

I said as I rubbed my eyes from my sleepiness. I badly needed more rest.

"C'mon dear, breakfast's ready." -Mom

My mom suddenly grabs my hand and pulls me outside my room. She then pushes me behind my back, my eyes widen in shock as I was surprised by her actions. She pushed me until we reached the Dining Room.

I saw Dad, drinking his coffee, and he's... dressed up as if he's ready to go somewhere.

I didn't know he was going anywhere today...

I looked at mom,
"Where is Dad going?" -Me

I blurted out all of a sudden. My sleepiness suddenly vanishing into the thin air.

I stared at my father who stopped sipping his hot coffee. He looked at me with sad eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere Gia, your mom is." -Dad

My eyes widened.

Mom?

MOM?

I looked at Mom, ready to go. I didn't even noticed earlier that she too, was dressed up.Her luggage by at the door. I stared at her with the saddest eyes.

"But... Why?" -Me

I felt like tearing up. My eyes started to fill with sad tears. My mom looked at me with a worried expression.

"I... need to go... I need to work, Gia. I need to work abroad." -Mom

She walked towards me and placed a kiss on the top of my head as she hugged me tight.

"Mom... I'm gonna miss you." -Me
