Forgotten Love

Perfect Plan

Harry's POV

Ring ring ring. I hear the sound of the phone ringing as I call my best mate for what seems like the hundredth time.

"Hey Haz" Louis lets out with a sigh.

"Lou! Finally you answered!" I let out a sigh of relief.

"Sorry I was sleeping.." I can tell he's stressed by the tone of his voice. His best friend is in a coma, how else is he supposed to feel?

We've all been stressed out, me Zayn Liam and Niall. We all care about her and everyone's been so worried about her but Louis seems to be taking it the worst. Which is odd seeing how she is my girlfriend. He hasn't left that hospital one time since the accident. I know, I know, I should be the one by her side 24/7. I should be the one sleeping in an uncomfortable chair by her bed. But I can't stand it. Seeing her laying there unconscious from an accident that I caused. Well, I didn't cause it. That drunken asshole that ran a red light did. But I can't help feeling responsible and guilty.

There's a long moment of silence before Louis speaks up, distracting me from my depressing thoughts.

"She woke up today Harry" he says rather sadly.

"What?!" I let out excitedly. "That's great Lou! Why isn't that the first thing you told me?!" I swear he can probably feel my smiling through the phone. Wait, why isn't he happier about this?

"Well, there's sort of a problem.." he pauses and takes a deep breath.

Oh god.. What if she's paralyzed?! What if the accident broke her spine or something and now she'll never walk again? All because of me.. What if-

"She doesn't remember anything from the past two years" Louis says, his voice cracking at the end.

"What?" I breathe out, not being able to process a full sentence.

My body feels numb and my mind goes blank as I sit heavily on the couch. I hear sobs through the phone as Louis cries. I run my hand through my hair. My chest feels heavy and it's getting a bit hard to breathe. I take deep breaths, trying to coax the oxygen back into my brain. After a while, the sobs stop and my breathing returns to normal as we both calm down.

"What are we going to do Harry? What if she never remembers any of us?" Louis finally speaks up, pain and exasperation lacing his now slightly raspy voice.

"She will Lou" I say trying to comfort him even though I don't know if I believe it myself.

I hear a guy speaking in the background.

"I have to go Harry" Louis says "I'll update you when I can."

"Yeah, okay, bye" I say before hanging up.

I toss my phone onto the table and run my fingers through my hair with a sigh. I lay my head back on the couch cushion behind me as I try to process the news. What is Louis is right? What if she never remembers any of us? That would be.. brilliant. My subconscious surprises me and I almost slap myself for thinking this is a good thing. That is, until an idea pops into my head.
