Chapter 2:

I woke up in the hospital. I heard little beeps. I didn't remember much, but I remembered some, and I knew something was wrong. I forgot certain parts of my life I shouldn't have. I knew I was Lexi Aceti. My brother was named Jerome. And I lived in Canada, I also knew I was 19. And I had a faint memory of a boy. But just his face, nothing else. I knew how to eat, walk, talk, and I remembered what I learned in school. Like math and stuff, which was weird.But I didn't know then that I had damaged the memory part of my brain, not the learning part. I called for a nurse and begged her for some water, but she said she needed to get the doctor.

He walked in and asked how I was feeling.

"I'm good, considering I forgot some stuff. Actually a lot. But it's weird how I remember certain things too." I told him.

"Your brother wants to see you." He said.

"Jerome?" I asked.

"Yes" he said, writing it on his clipboard. "You know it's very rare how you remember big parts of your life, school, family, friends?"

"Yes. I remember certain things about friends." I said nervously. "Can I see Jerome and whoever else is here please?"

"Not everyone.Just family." He said.

"Doctor with all due respect it might trigger some memories." The nurse said from the bathroom.

"Okay. 1 at a time though." He said.

"Thank you." I whispered.

Then in walked my brother.

"Lexi?" He asked. "Do you remember me?"

His voice was unsteady, he was on the verge of tears.

"Hey Jerome." I croaked.

"Lexi." He collapsed on top of me and hugged me.

"I only remember certain things about you Jerome. " I felt like crying.

"It's okay Lexi, one day you'll remember everything, and we'll be okay, you, me, and our family and friends."

"I want to see Mi-I don't remember his name." Tears started forming in my eyes. " I just know we were close. Jerome I'm scared." I said.

"You want to see Mitch?" He asked.

"I think. If I see him I will know if it is him."

"I'll send him in."

I waited as Jerome went to get him.

When he walked in, I knew it was Mitch, but that's it. I knew we were friends too. But I had no idea how we met, what we treated each other like, or anything. It was completely ludicrous.

"Lexi?" He asked.

"Mitch?" I smiled.

"Oh god, Lexi I, am so sorry about what happened. I really didn't want it to turn out like this. It's all my fault, and your subscribers!"

"Mitch I'm a youtuber?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'll post and update video for you, and I guess you weren't hurt that bad. Or does almost every word bring a memory in?"

"I think. It's hard to get memories about people in though. Like I know I know you, but I don't know how."

"Lexi...." He was tearing up. "This isn't gonna be like that movie where you relive everyday as the same day over and over is it?"

"I don't think so... Mitch if it isn't too hard, what was your relation to me?"

"You and me and Jerome are best friends. Or were. Depending on if you still want to be the three amigos." He smiled tightly.

"That's why I knew you. I remember nothing about you except how you look." I told him.

"Lex I have to go... But try to remember? We weren't just friends." He told me.

He walked out and I was sitting there, wondering what me and Mitch were before the accident.

A little while later the doctor came in. I was too deep in thought before I realized he was giving me a shot. I felt the little pinch and clenched my teeth.

"All done. Your meds are in. Your brother left to go get some clothes. But the other boy hasn't left. If you want him to come in just call for a nurse and they'll let him in."

"Okay." I said.

"And tomorrow is when your physical therapy starts. It's necessary because of the accident." The doctor walked towards the door. "I'll be here at 10 with some nurses and we will head down."

I nodded and took a sip of my water. I decided to take a nap.

I dreamed of a world where I knew everyone. Me and Mitch were together, Jerome was dating a girl. And I played some game on YouTube. When I woke I was alone. I was really tired, but also really angry, because I didn't know anything, because in my dream, Mitch was what he was supposed to be. Only I didnt know it then,
