Give Me Life

Part 37

*7 days later*

I'd hardly left the hospital In the past week, terrified that something bad would happen if i did. There was some awkwardness at first between Amelia's dad and myself, however, being thrown into this high pressure situation almost helped our relationship blossom. He could see that i did truly care about Amelia and loved her with all my heart.

Today was the day they were going to start bringing my girl out of the coma, the scans had shown it was now safe to do that as the swelling had gone down

'Dont crowd her...she's going to be a little groggy' the doctor informed me ' let's just give her some space'

'Hey...it's so good to see you' I let out a sigh of relief as she opened her eyes

'Amelia...it's ok...your in the hospital...you were in a car accident, your okay, you hit your head so we just kept you asleep for a little while'

'Hello darling...' Her dad smiled

'Dad..' She stuttered

'Dont worry your ok' he said kissing her forehead

'How you feeling?' I stuttered, seeing her like this was killing me

'My head hurts...'

'Yeah well that's perfectly normal, I'll get you something for that' the doctor said turning on her feet to walk away

'was anyone else hurt doctor?' She asked looking in my direction

'Umm...' I stuttered, a horrible gut feeling 'hey...you...you know who I am right?' I laughed

'Yeah...your my doctor....' She replied, the look on her face so vacant, like she wasn't there

'I...uh...um..." I stuttered walking round the bed to sit in the chair next to her 'I'm your boyfriend...' I swallowed hard 'please' I said reaching out to touch her arm, but she just pulled away

'Doctor what's going on?' Her dad asked panicking

'I'm just going to....uh....' I said, tears threatening to choke, quickly exiting the room

'Mr Merrygold... !'

'You said things were very good....' I paced

'A brain injury isn't like a broken bone or a laceration, brains are much less predictable...sometimes due to the way the tissue swellings press against the skull, it can have some impairment..'

'SOME IMPAIRMENT...SHE DOESNT REMEMBER ME!' I snapped

' even though she's awake, the swelling can cause some confusion, memory loss. Mood swings...but..that's normal' she said, I couldn't take it anymore, pacing down the corridor I needed some air. How the hell could she not remember me? Something was seriously wrong...
