Deuce

My eyes open and I quickly flinch at the blinding light I saw. 

"Doctor! He's awake." A nurse called, then an older man rushes in, looking relieved.
"Do you need me to check his vitals, doc?" She said moving over to my bed.

"Yes, its important to check them when the patient wakes up." I realize the nurse was a medical student.

"Vitals are normal, pulse is 100." The nurse said, adjusting the machines I was connected too.

"Now, Mr. Erlichman, do you know what happened to you?" The doctor asks me.
"Ummm. I can't remember." I racked by brain trying to remember.
"Mhmm, just as I thought would happen. Short term amnesia." he nods, taking a seat on the chair beside my bed.
"When will I get my memory back?" I asked, looking at him.

"We don't know. But we need somebody to contact about your condition. Do you have any family?"
"I can't remember. I only can picture a guy but I don't know his name." I sighed in frustration.

"What does he look like?" The medical student encourages me.  
"Dark brown, almost black, hair and hazel eyes." I described him to her.
"We will look for him." she says.
"Thank you ma'am." I sighed, hoping they'd find him quickly.

"Do you remember your band?" The nurse asks and I nod sadly.
"Hollywood Undead." I say, the nurses nods in agreement.
"Well, it's good that you remember some things, that should improve eventually."

I nod, "May I have some water?"
"Of course." She stood up and brought me back water.

I gulp it down thirstily, "Thank you." I tell her.
"You're welcome, besides your band and the black haired boy, do you remember anyone or anything else? Not just the day of the accident but in general?" She questioned.

"I have a sister, I think." I answer, unsure.
"Okay, can you describe her at all?"
"Blonde, I think."

"Does she know the other boy?  Could he be her boyfriend?" She pressed.

"No." I hissed, giving her a deadly glare.
She smiled. "You seem defensive. Are you remembering something else?"

"My sister isn't into men, I just don't remember the boy's name." I answer, confused.
"You remember your sister's sexuality, that's really good. You're remembering more." The nurse smiled at me, writing something down.

"I remember that I was kicked out of my band!" I exclaim, then frown at the memory.
"Do you remember when and what member kicked you out?" The nurse said still writing.
"George, and I don't know when." I reply quietly.
"Can you remember anything about George? Appearance, age, when you met?" She questioned me.
"We met in third grade, Jorel introduced us."
"Can you describe Jorel?"
"Short brown hair, dark brown eyes, stretched ears."
"Do you remember the names of everyone in your band?" She asked me, writing down the information about Jorel.

"Matty, Dylan, George, Jorel, and Jordon." I recite, excited that I was remembering.

"Can you remember their numbers? We could contact them and bring them here." The nurse asked me, grabbing some more paper. I frown and shake my head. The nurse sighed sadly. "That's alright, you might remember soon."

"Do you remember where you're from?" She asked, trying to boost my memory.
"I live in L.A."
"Well you're in San Jose Hospital right now, that's about 4.5 hours away." The nurse told me.

"May I have some food?" I ask, my stomach growls afterwards.

"Of course, I will be right back." She left the room to go to the cafeteria.

I sigh, hating that I was in this situation. My thoughts were broken apart by the sound of the nurse knocking on the door.

"I'm back, I got you some pizza and a coke. Hope you like it." She smiled handing me the food. I pick up the pizza, eyeing it carefully before savagely biting into it hungrily.
"Thank you." I say through my mouthful of pizza

"You're welcome Mr. Erlichman, I have to tend to more patients but I'll be back in an hour to check your vitals again." She stood up, grabbed her clipboard, and walked out.

I finish my food and the coke then put the tray on the bedside table. I laid down, deciding to take a nap. I drifted off and began to dream of the beautiful hazel eyed boy.
