{Michael}

I stayed in the hospital all night because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep. Her family and left late last night but I stood with her every second that they would allow me to.

I sit by her bed and watch her. She just looks so peaceful. I check the time and see its 7:42am. I turn to look at her and her eyes open. My heart skips two beats.
"Alanis?" I say in a rather excited voice.
"What?" She sounds confused.
"Oh my shit Alanis!" I hug her, being careful not to hurt her. "I'll be right back I swear. I'm just going to go tell the nurse that you're awake."

I half jog out to find someone, I turn and lightly bump into a middle-aged woman. "Ma'am, Alanis Cariet is awake! She woke up!"
"Okay let me inform the doctors."

I walk back smiling very widely as I make it to her room I realize there is already a doctor in there. He checks a few things with her and walks out of the room after having a small conversation with her.

"So what's going to happen doc?"
"Things are looking very promising. When talking to her, be patient since we aren't sure if she has any major brain damage, but I'd say if everything goes well with these next few tests she'll be taking, she should be out with 3-4 days."
"Thank you so much!"

I walk into the room to see her leaned up, with this blank expression on her face.

"Hey Alanis how are you feeling?"
"I'm sorry, who are you?"

My heart sinks.

{Alanis}

My head hurts. I look around and see many cords and tubes connected to me. I feel like I'm having an experiment done to me. I stare straight to see a tall, handsome boy standing in the door. He walks towards me.

"Hey Alanis, how're you feeling?" The tall boy says.
"I'm sorry, who are you?"
"What? You don't remember me?"
"I don't know."

I'm so confused. Who is he and why should I know him? Why am I even in here?

"Can you try to remember? Remember everything you can to this point. Please Alanis?" He sounds desperate.

Think.

"Um—I know my name is Alanis Cariet. I know I live in Irvine California. I'm a senior in high school. My best friend is Marina—"

He cuts me off "Try and remember me. I'm your boyfriend. We met last school year by me sending a stupid note to you. We met at the park." A tear slowly rolls down his gorgeous cheek bone. "After you meeting my stupid band and coming over a few times, we got together. June 27 we got together. We went through some times but we said I love you July 19. Alanis, please remember."

This guy is my boyfriend? Try and remember.

I stare into his eyes and my stomach flutters. I remember. I smile widely, then start to cry.

"Michael! Oh my gosh Michael! Yes I remember!" By this point we're both crying as we're hugging.

I lean back down and wince at the pain. I feel so sore.

"Babe, do you remember what happened?" He asks.
"uh I remember—I saw this guy. These two guys actually, I didn't see their faces clearly but they looked in their twenties, and they were making some drug deal or something. I saw them and he pulled out a gun." I shutter thinking about all of it again. "I ran. I ran as fast as I could and I—I don't remember anything after that."
"They had a gun?! Who the fuck had the nerve to pull a gun on my girl!?"

He jumps up but I grab his hand.

"I don't think they hurt me. I just don't know how or why I'm here."
"They said you were hit by a car."
"That's dope!" we both laugh.
"The doctor said if everything goes well you'll be out in a few days. So I'll be praying for you."
"Thank you."

He stand up and I grab his hand, my arm twitches from the pain in my wrist. "Please don't leave me."
"I would never babe." He kisses my hand and grabs his phone. "I'm gonna call your dad and let him know you're awake."
"Okay."

I just smile and shut my eyes. I feel exhausted.
