I Can't Do This Without You (Sam Drake x Reader)

I Tried To Save You

After you took several tests relating to your mental state and the pain you feel, the nurse came back into your room. As she returned to your room, she called in Mr. Drake. He followed in right after, seeming to be filled with anticipation.

"Well, Y/N, I have filed your results," she said, sitting down on the foot of your mattress. She looked at her clipboard for reassurance, as if she did not want to tell you the truth. Thoughts crossed over her mind if she should hold back and wait until tomorrow as it may be overwhelming, but the sooner the better.

"You know-- Mr. Drake, would you come outside with me? I'd like to discuss a few things with you," she said, rushing out of the room in a hurry. Mr. Drake looked at you, and sighed as if he were disappointed. They closed the door behind them, leaving you in the room alone to your thoughts.

After several minutes, you heard one of the voices leave. The other voice creaked into muffled cries, huffing in and out at an unsteady pace. You listened to these noises for over half an hour, until they were finally calmed. Your door then opened slowly, showing Mr. Drake bit by bit.

He then walked to the chair beside your bed, and sat down with a sigh. His nose was slightly red and had puffy, irritated lips. His eyes looked strained, and you couldn't help yourself. "Hey, are you alright? Have you been crying?"

As you said that, tears built up in his eyes but he pushed them away with the back of his hand. "I'm fine, its just Louise said something to me, thats all." You pieced together that Louise was the nurse, or maybe someone he was close to.

You smiles sincerely, pulling his hand into yours. "Well don't cry, I'm sure it will be fine. What happened?"

"She said something happened to y-- my girlfriend."

"Well you don't need to be here with me then. Thank you for taking care of me though, Mr. Drake; but I think you should go to your girlfriend then."

"Mr. Drake--", he said to himself, choking on the words. With his own free hand that you weren't holding, he put over his mouth, caressing his jaw. "I'm Sam, Sam Drake. You gotta remember me, right?" His mouth began to twitch from a weak smile to frown, unsure of which to do. You shook your head, "you're my nurse, as far as I know? I'm sorry, I can't pin point you to--"

"Y/N I am your fiancée. We have been together for four years! Y/N please," his eyes began to weld up with tears once again. This time, he let them run down his red cheeks, "you have to remember me. I helped saved your live five years ago, and then I purposed to you one year ago-- I just--"

"Y/N, you gotta remember me!"

His hand was shaking in yours, and his rushed the other hand to keep it steady. You sat still, unsure of what to do. You only could shake your head in confusion, "I don't know you, I think you might be confusing me for someone else." You wanted to leave the bed, but you're bones were far too weak. As you struggled to get out of the bed, Sam plunged you back into the bed with his hands.

"Y/N please! You were stabbed with a rock and I tried to save you and--"

You began to squirm in the bed sheets, trying to scream. "Get away from me! Don't touch me!", luckily for you all this talking today warmed up your vocals pretty well. Suddenly, Louise rushed into the room to find you squirming in your bed.

She rushed to your side and gently took Sam's hands off of yours, "Mr. Drake, we have talked about this. She will not remember you, and you cannot change that. She was too traumatized and it caused her to lose memories due to that. Her brain malfunctioned and you should not hold that against her. Please sit outside in the hall until you gather yourself."

You let your hand fall limp out of his, and his left the room with no rush. As Sam stood under the door frame he quietly murmured, "I'm sorry, Y/N."
