Chapter 11: Recovery

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Recovery

"Dear Diary,

   So apparently in the life I no longer remember I did entries like this one. So I am starting a new Diary, the older ones seems to foreign to write in. Here I am, out of the hospital, the first memories of my new life I suppose. Although I have heard it is possible to retrieve my memories, god I hope that is true."

   Chandler stood by Veronica's Side as she helped her out of the bed, funny how people with amnesia can forget thins like their name and their parents but, remember things like the word amnesia itself, and even remember things like standing and walking. You would think someone who forgets every moment of their life to forget things like that. 

   Veronica is wobbly at first from being bed ridden for so long, almost a whole month to be exact, but after helping her up and regain her strength, shes walking like didn't forget a single thing of her life. Heather wishes the memory of her and Veronica's first time and their glow would come back to her just as easily, but that would take more time than this. It would take at least half a year to regain most of her missing memories with intensive therapy. And while the chance is small, there is that sliver of chance she wont even remember it at all. The memory of that warm purple light that filled the school bathroom. Thoughts drifting off Heather wondered if other people had experienced their glow in that very bathroom. No that's definitely a stupid thought. The worst. The thought was then pushed back behind with all the other stupid thoughts she had over the course of the day. 

   "You alright?" she asked as she lifted Veronica up again. 

   "Yeah, I think I got it, just- just weak from being in the bed for so long" 

   Heather nodded, letting go and standing by only if she needed the help. Veronica slowly made her way up, standing up straight as she attempted to walk forward. Smiling, Veronica had successfully placed her foot in-front of her, pushing forward before moving the other. "I'm doing it!" she let out that dorky laugh she always made, especially in times of finding her own dorky jokes funny. "I'm walking again!"

   Smiling Chandler took Veronica's hand in hers, "I told you you could do it."

   She smiled back, "I know." That smile had taken her breath away for so long.

      The next day Chandler and Duke came for a visit, Chandler had two books in her hand. One of the books was new, the other looked worn, used, like someone had used it for a while. "What are those?" she asked, genuinely curious. 

   Heather smiled softly before handing the journals over to her. 

   Duke was the first to speak up, "the older one was your old Diary, from before you lost your memory, the newer looking one is from us, we wrote a few notes in there for you, but we thought it might help. Maybe, maybe you could write down any thoughts you might have." There was a glint of sorrow in dukes eyes, her usual medium green eyes looked dark as she masked it with a smile. 

   Veronica looked at the older journal, setting down the new one.

  Maybe if I read through some of these... maybe this really will help with my memory...

  Flipping though the rough pages she landed on a more recent entry. It was a bout a few weeks old at least.
