Ally's POV

I cried as the doctors looked at me. They had sad faces and i looked at Lauren's heart monitor to see it in a flat line. I cried and barged into the room and hugged her by the waist.

"LAUREN!! Lauren wake up!! No you can't be dead please Lauren!! I need you!!" I cried but then still got no response. I hugged her tighter and looked at the doctors.

"Please do something. Please." I pleaded.

"We are so sorry Ally, but she's dead. We are so sorry." Dr. Simpson said and i just looked at him. I looked at Lauren's face and examined it. Please open those beautiful eyes of yours baby.

"Lauren, don't die on me please. I need you." I said and lay my head on her chest. The doctors tried to pull me off and i let them because they're gonna pull out the cables that are attached to Lauren but then heartbeat started to show on the heart monitor.

Lauren instantly sat up, inhaling a big amount of air as if she seriously needed it which she really do. She inhaled and exhaled deeply and i can't help myself but hug her. I hugged her by the waist and just cried.

"Lauren, you're alive baby. You're alive." I said and smiled at her. She just looked at me with confusion written on her face. She pushed me not too hard and looked at the doctors.

"Why am i here? Where are my parents?! Who are you?" She said and faced me. I gasped and quickly put my hand over my mouth to hold in my sobs.

"L-Lauren what d-do you m-mean? It's m-me A-Ally." I said and tried to reach her hand but she pulled it away quickly.

"I don't know you. Who are you? Bring me my parents. I need my mo- Ouch! My head, it hurts" She said and held her head.

"Ally, please step outside for awhile. We will try to ask Lauren a few questions. Just stay outside first and call her parents." Dr. Simpson said and i nodded. I stepped outside and slid through the wall down to the floor.

I quickly pulled my phone out and dialled Clara's number. She picked up in just 3 rings.

"Hello Ally? We're on our way already. Do you need something?" She asked and i just cried.

"P-Please come i-immediately. Lauren w-wants to see y-you." I said and tried to hold back my sobs.

"She's awake?!? Omygod thank God. But sunshine, why are you crying?" Clara said and it brought me to the edge. I cried again and Clara just comforted me through the phone.

"She d-doesn't r-remember me." I said and i heard Clara gasped.

"We'll be there in 10 Ally. Please don't think much about it first okay?" Clara said and i hung up. Seconds later and i heard the elevator dinged and there came out Dinah, Normani and Camila. I stood and ran into them and hugged Dinah.

"She doesn't remember m-me." I said and Dinah pulled away. Normani and Camila was as shocked as Dinah and we walked towards the ICU. We stood outside looking through the glass window and we saw Lauren pointed towards me. Dr. Simpson looked at me too and looked at Lauren after. He nodded his head and said something then stood up from the chair. Lauren just laid there nodding from what Dr. Simpson was saying and then he walked outside the room.

"So? How was she?" Dinah asked and held my hand.

"As far as i know, Lauren is currently suffering from Selective Amnesia. I tried to ask her things that she remembers and she told me everything. She knows her name and her parents. I told her to look outside to the 4 of you and asked if she remembers you all and she said that she sees and kind of remembers some of you Dinah, Normani and Camila but the memories are blurred then she said that she can't really remember you Ally." Dr. Simpson said and looked at me.

I just looked at him with tears streaming down my face. Normani pulled me close to her and just hugged me and moments later, the girls hugged me too. Clara and Mike walked towards us and asked Dr. Simpson what's happening and he explained again.

"I think she can't remember Ally because there are a lot of moments that she spent with Ally and mostly, selective amnesia only forgets those memories that she treasures the most and those person that they really love. I'm sorry Ally." Dr. Simpson said..

"But she'll eventually remember everything if you help her. She just needs some time and don't pressure her because it will cause her head to hurt." He said again then smiled.

Why did you forget me Lauren? Why me? Should i be flattered because you forgetting about me means that you loved me that much? But no Lauren, i am so hurt. I need you and now that you are here, you don't even remember me.

"We'll move her to the recovery room tonight so that you all can visit her at the same time. I'll see you later." Dr. Simpson smiled at us and walked away.

"You wanna talk to her, Ally?" Clara said and i shook my head. I can't deal with this right now. My heart is so broken i just want to lay in my bed and cry and sleep all day.

"I-I'm going h-home." I said and started walking towards the elevator.

"Smallz, wait. I'll tag along and i'll drive you there." Dinah said catching up to me.

"Okay Dinah. Thank you." I said and we entered the elevator. When it reached the ground floor we quickly walked to the parking lot and got in on Dinah's car. She pulled out of the hospital's parking lot and started driving towards my house.

"I am so sorry Ally." Dinah said.

"I can't say that it's okay Dinah. I-I mean, it hurts me so much but then i understand. Well, t-trying to understand." I said and just started playing with my fingers and cried again.

"Smallz, please don't stress yourself out okay? Help Lauren to remember everything. We will help her remember everything. She loves you, Ally. She just needs some time, just like what Dr. Simpson said." Dinah said and i looked at her. I nodded my head and he pulled off in front of my house.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay? But for today, just go and rest first. You've already done everything for the past 6 months that she was asleep.

I nodded and exited the car. I pulled out my keys from my pocket and opened my front door. I walked upstairs to my room and collapsed on my bed.

I looked to my right and saw the picture frame that has the picture of me and Lauren on the beach. I picked it up and hugged it tight.

"Lauren, please. I know you'll remember me. I'll help you. Because i love you. I love you. I love you." I said then quickly fall into a deep slumber.
