Raegan raced to pick up the phone, cradling it in his hand as the doctor started to speak.
Doctor: Hello, I'm looking for a Raegan Beast?
Rae: Speaking
Doctor: Your boyfriend, Justin, has just woken up. He may need some support as his family called saying their flight has been pushed back due to poor weather conditions.
Rae: O-Ok I will be right over.
Raegan looked as his mother as he got off the phone. She was already grabbing him a sweatshirt and throwing the uneaten McDonald's at his with his keys.
Raegan's Mom: You had better hurry but remember do not stay out too late and do not, I repeat, do not talk that poor boys ear off.
Raegan smiled and sprinted out the door to his car. As he drove across the busy highway, it began to rain. He turned on his windshield wipers and continued on his way until he pulled in the door. As he got out, he put the sweatshirt over his head and ran inside. Raegan immediately turned towards the ER wing of the hospital where he ran into Justin's doctor. The doctor ushered him through the doors and down the twists and turns of the hallway. When they reached Justin's room, they stopped.
Doctor: Remember, he may not know who you are. Just don't push him or you could cause a relapse.
Raegan nodded and prepared himself before pushing the door open slowly. Justin sat up in his bed and stared as Raegan came through the door and gave a small wave when he put his sweatshirt down. Raegan looked at his boyfriend. He noticed Justin had recovered really quickly, only hooked up to a breathing machine and an IV. He only had a large bandage on his side and a cast on his left leg. But his eyes were what bothered Raegan. They didn't have any recognition. Justin didn't know who this stranger who walked into his room was so he waved. The stranger sighed and grabbed the chair from the corner, pulling it up beside him. This boy was hot, like really hot, and he spoke softly like silk.
Raegan: Hey Justin, do you-- do you remember me?
Justin shook his head and didn't speak. He didn't realize that he could so he stayed silent, unwilling to talk. Instead he smiled and talked in his head as to what he would say if he could. The other boy had a few tears that went down his face so Justin used his thumb to wipe them away. For some odd reason, it seemed like the right thing to do. The other boy laughed before speaking again.
Raegan: Do you remember who you are?
Justin.......










Shook his head and Raegan groaned under his breath.
Raegan: Do you want me to show you?
Justin nodded and the other boy grabbed his phone and clicked it, turning it on to a picture of a certain boy and him. Justin looked at the boy in the picture, he was kissing the boy in his room but he didn't recognize either of them. The stranger pointed at the boy kissing him.
Raegan: Do you know who he is?
Justin shook his head.
Raegan: That's you.
