Who Are You Now? (Sequel to Infte)(Kellin Quinn) [Complete]

Part 1

Part One.

Jess' POV

"Which one of you is Jess?" the nurse asked. I would have thought it would have been obvious, I'm the only girl here! I stood up and walked over to her where she gave me a sad smile. "I'm sorry, but I have some terrible news". Oh no, Kellin? "I'm sorry. Mr Quinn didn't make it..." those words pierced through my skin in one motion; he's gone? "This must be a mistake" I replied sadly, tears beginning to flow like rivers from my eyes. "I'm so sorry for your loss. But he left this for you" she said handing me a piece of paper with Kellin's scruffy handwriting on. I carefully tore open the envelope and read the letter;

'Jess,

Before anything else I need you to know I love you. This isn't your fault, please don't blame yourself. Live on... for me? Please tell everyone that I'm sorry and I love them all. You have always and will always hold a place in my heart. I will always be watching you, I love you so much.

With love

Kellin.'

I held my hand over my mouth as more tears fell from my eyes, however impossible that seemed. "I'm sorry" she said once more. A stretcher passed me, an arm hanging off the side of it, whereas a plain white sheet was covering the rest of the lifeless body. I recognised the tattoos instantly. "Kellin..." I muttered softly, more tears escaping my eyes. I ran back to the waiting room, passing straight through and towards the front entrance, ignoring the cries and shouts following me. I walked straight into the road and before I knew it...

"Jess!"

Austin's POV

"Jess!" I called, shaking her to wake up. She sat up and tears immediately fell from her eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked; that was a stupid question. "Has there... been any news?" she asked between sobs. I shook my head and pulled her into a hug; I feel sorry for her, she's not to blame but she keeps mumbling how its all her fault. She shouldn't have to feel that way. "Don't worry, he'll be fine Jess" I said, holding her to try and stop her tears and violent shaking. "Do you want some air?" I asked and she shook her head. "I just want Kellin to be alright" she sighed. "We all do Jess" I replied, lightly rocking her back and forth. "Vic, watch Jess a minute" I said, standing up and pulling Alan with me.

I stepped outside with Alan hot on my heels. "Austin. Want to tell me what's up?" he asked, slightly out of breath. "I feel bad for Jess, it was killing me seeing her like that" I said in a rushed breath. "I know man, but can you blame her? She got kidnapped, and now her boyfriend is in a hospital bed and she can't see him. Wouldn't you be the same?" he said, and I knew he was right. "I guess. I just don't like seeing people in that kind of state" I sighed. "I know, but once Kellin is alright, which he will be, everyone can go back to being happy" he said with a sad smile. I nodded and gave him a thankful smile before following him back inside.

Two weeks later...

(Sorry, wanted to bring Kellin back:c)

Jess' POV

I've been sat here for the past two weeks. I've refused to go home, I've refused to eat, I've refused to do anything until I know that Kellin is alright. The rest of the Sleeping with Sirens guys were constantly in here too. The only difference is they were still talking and eating and occasionally laughing; at least they still can. I held Kellin's hand, hoping something would happen, but nothing ever did. The only reminder that he's still with us is the constant beeping from the life support machine beside the bed. "Jess?" one of the guys asked. I hadn't noticed that they were asking me something. "You didn't hear what we said did you?" Gabe asked, his voice full of sympathy. "No, sorry" I replied, flashing them a quick sad smile. "Why don't you go home for a bit? It's been weeks since you've moved, and you haven't eaten in a while. Kellin would want us to keep you healthy, so why don't you go and get some rest?" Jesse suggested, kneeling down beside me with his hand on my shoulder. "I don't want to leave Kellin. It's my fault he's here and I need him to know I'm sorry" I almost cried. "First of all, it's not your fault, this could have happened anyway. And also, you need to stay healthy Jess, otherwise he'll get upset over that" Justin smiled sympathetically as he walked over to me and placed a hand on my other shoulder. "I..." I was about to tell them all the reasons why I couldn't go home when I felt movement in my hand. "Kellin?" I questioned, looking round to see his eyes still closed, but I definitely felt movement. "What is it?" Jack asked, standing up from where he was sat. "His hand moved" I smiled. "Is he waking up?" Jesse asked a little too excitedly. His hand moved again and this time he stirred, moaning slightly as he tried to stretch. "Kellin!" we all called with huge smiles covering our faces. He opened his eyes and cautiously looked round at us, looking extremely puzzled and confused, until his eyes landed on Jesse.

Kellin's POV

I started to feel myself waking up from this sleep that feels like its gone on forever. I went to stretch my legs, but pain overwhelmed them, causing myself to groan. I opened my eyes to be met with the smiling and happy faces of strangers; who are these people? I studied each face individually, until I landed on one face I could never forget; Jesse Lawson. "Jesse?" I questioned, hoping he could give me some answers. "Kellin! It's good that you're with us again man" he smiled. I looked down at my hand that was encased by a girl, a very ill and sad looking girl. I slowly pulled my hand out of her grasp and watched as her sad smile disappeared into pain and sorrow. "Jesse, who are all these people?" I questioned, wondering if they were his friends. "You seriously don't remember?" he asked, confusion lacing his every word. I shook my head with an awkward expression, before panic took over the faces of the four men and the girl. "Shit, the doctor said this might happen. Well uh, these are your band mates, Justin, Jack, Gabe, and your girlfriend, Jess" he replied, pointing at each person individually. Did he say band mates? Im in a band? I know these people? "Do you seriously not recognise a single person" he asked with doubt and sympathy, to which I just shook my head again. The girl started crying, and the one called Gabe picked her up off the seat and took her over to the corner of the room, where they had a conversation that I couldn't hear. Jesse sat beside me and rested his hand on my shoulder. "Do you remember why you're in here?" he asked with hope. "I remember a guy, but apart from that its all a blur" I sighed. At that moment, the people who I'm assuming are the doctors rushed in and asked everyone to leave, which they protested to but obeyed. "Hello Kellin. Im Doctor Tyler and I'll be helping you recover. Can you remember why you're in here?" the tall man dressed in white asked. "Not really" I replied blankly. "Did you know who those people were?" he continued, checking my vital signs. "Only one of them, although he says I know the others" I replied. "Do you remember your past?" he asked, his look turning to one of seriousness. I thought for a moment, and nothing before that scene with that boy could come to mind. I sighed and shook my head, looking down at my lap whilst doing so. "Okay Mr Quinn, what I think has happened is that you're suffering from amnesia. The severity of this can't really be established, but we'll be sure to help you recover the life you had" he smiled sadly as he walked out of the room. I have amnesia? This can't be happening.

Jesse came back in not long after the doctors left because to be honest, I don't want to be alone. I've been told I have amnesia and the only person I can remember is Jesse, yet for some reason not my supposed band mates, or even girlfriend! "Listen Kellin, I don't know how but we will get your memory back. I've been told its possible, and the guys and Jess are extremely upset, so I'm going to help you" he smiled from the seat next to me. I looked out the window behind him that was in my room and I could see the people from earlier sat outside talking, apart from the girl, Jess, who was staring at me with sorrow filling her eyes. I had to look away, to know that I could be the source of that sorrow was killing me, I may not know her anymore, but she still meant something. "So, lets try and think back to the incident, tell me what you remember..."

I stopped as I saw the body of the girl on the floor. "That girl, she's lying on the floor" I said with my eyes closed tight as I tried to remember the incident. "Good Kellin, what happened next?" Jesse asked supportively. The guy was sitting down, holding a baseball bat in his hands as he snarled stuff that was pissing me off. "That guy, he had a baseball bat" I struggled. "Good" Jesse said hopefully. The girl screamed and pushed him away because he hit my knees, and he said something before he hit me. "I got hit whilst the girl tried to help me" I sighed. "That's good Kellin, it'll do for now. I'm proud of you, this can't be easy" he smiled sadly, pulling me into a friendly hug. "You have no idea. I don't remember anyone or anything, apart from you. That frustrates me so much" I sighed, embracing him in the hug, not wanting to let go until my life was back. But what if this could be better than my life before? How am I to know?
