Forgotten Love (short story) [Needs Editing]

Who are you?

Lio

All I can do is stare blankly out the window while impatiently waiting for Mimi's parents to arrive. My stomach is in knots and I feel like I can't breathe. I look up and pray that Mimi gets through this. Like a small boy I huddle myself into a ball, sobbing uncontrollably.

Her parents rush to the nurse's station demanding to see their daughter. The nurse in the most gentle and compassionate voice tells them they have to wait until the doctor comes out and apologizes for the circumstances. Her mom is screaming, "My baby! My baby! I need to see her! Let me see her!!" Her husband tries to comfort her but you can see the fear in his eyes, it's tearing him into pieces.

The doctor comes out and asks to see Mimi's parents. They quickly run asking the doctor about their daughter. The doctor smiles and assures them that she is stable and resting. "The patient suffered some trauma on the back of  the head so she might wake up confused. Please allow her to rest but feel free to visit her she is being transferred to a room now." He said before excusing himself.

I can't explain how happy I am right now that Mimi is stable. I mean I know she will have to recover and that it's not going to be easy but at least she's alive. Right?

We are directed to her room and told to be very quiet. When I see her laying there sleeping I suddenly feel sad again. Why out of so many people why her? I go to the side of the bed, I grab her hand and softly caress it with  my thumb. I can't stop staring at her and thinking why couldn't I have been there to avoid this all? Why didn't I protect her?

While I'm silently hating myself I see my pocket light up. I reach into it and realize the lock key chain is lighting up, stupid thing must be broken. I had put my keys on it since what the short little guy said had made me curious, but seeing it light up now shows how foolish he is.

While I'm rambling in my head I see Mimi open her eyes. She pulls her hand away and looks at me weird. First I think maybe she's mad at me but then she asks. "Who are you? Why are you touching me? Are you some kind of pervert?" She starts screaming for help I tried to calm her but she screams louder. Her parents and the nurse come running in.

Mirani

"Mom! Mom!" I scream. "Somebody help me please somebody anybody!" I plead desperately. I'm terrified who is he and why was he holding my hand? I'm shaking, my nerves are out of control. Why am I here what's going on?

I see my mom and dad run towards me with a nurse beside them. They are trying to calm me but I can't calm down. "Mom? Dad? Who is he?" I ask  pointing at the guy who is now standing at the far end of the room with a sad and concerned look on his face.

"Mirani are you telling me you don't remember who he is?" My mom asks. What does she mean by remember? I've never seen him before in my life why would I remember him? I look at her and shake my head no. "Don't worry miss you're probably a little confused it's normal. Sometimes when you receive a hit in the head like you did it will take time to regain complete memory especially if you were terrified, a part of your brain is blocking certain memories that have caused you pain emotionally." Says the nurse.

The guy walks towards the bed yet still keeping his distance. I can see the worry in his eyes and the tears streaming down his face. "I'm Lio your best friend," he says slowly. "I hope that you can get some rest and when you are feeling better we can talk. Sorry for scaring you, I'll get going now," he leaves the room. I don't say anything because I'm really confused and my head hurts so bad.

My parents convince me to lay back down and rest. They assure me that everything is going to be okay but how can they be sure? I don't even know how I ended up in the hospital in the first place.
