The Bad Boy Next Door

27: Remember

   She was crying. I sat up and grabbed the sides of her face wiping off the tears. She was holding her head in her hands and gripping her head. I grabbed her hands and tried to take them off her head as gently as possible.

   "It hurts so bad. I-It hurts so bad." She cried. She was saying her head hurt.

   "I know babe, I know. it's gonna be okay." I said softly. I put my thumbs on her temples and began to rub in small circles. Her crying slowly stopped and she looked at me with a sad look.

   "W-where did you l-learn this?" She asked me shakily as I continued to massage her head.

   "My mom taught me when I was a kid. Says it helps with migraines." I said.

   "She taught you before she died?" She asked with a confused look on her face.

   I stopped rubbing her head and she winced. "H-How'd you know that?" I asked.

   "Y-you told me. A-at least I thought you did." she responded holding her head.

   "Yea, I did tell you. But I only told you not too long ago. You remembered something? You remembered something!" I yelled. She winced in pain and I covered my mouth trying to quiet myself. I smiled wide and kissed her forcefully.

   My hand slid to the back of her neck as I continued to kiss her. I began to push her back some until her back hit the small hospital bed. I bit her lip a bit and she parted her lips. I slipped my tounge in her mouth and continued to kiss her. She moaned lightly then let out a loud cry pulling away from me.

   "What happened? What's wrong?" I asked quickly.

   "I can't take it." She cried curling in a ball, holding her head. I went back to rubbing her temples and she cried softly.

   "You remembered something. Do you think that the reason your head hurts so much is because your brain is remembering. You remembered when I told you about my mom so what did you remember this time?" I asked excitedly.

   She blushed perfusely and I smiled. "Uh, I-It was. T-that night. U-uh." She stuttered.

   "You remembered that steamy night we had. The one where I had you all over the place. Huh, someone was have dirty thoughts?" I asked.

   "U-uh, I, I'm sorry?" She said more like a question.

   I kissed her forhead, then her nose, then her lips again. "Don't apologise. That night was memorable for the both of us. And now that you remember the moment is memorable again." I said. She looked at me then at my lips and she moved forward onto my lap kissing me.

   "Woah, you're in the hospital. After you get out we can continue this. But right now you need sleep." I said softly kissing her lips again.

   "Okay." She responded laying down. I layed down next to her and ran my fingers through her hair until she fell asleep.

   I woke up to someone shaking me softly. I pealed my eyes open and Clarity was sitting next to me with a smile on her face. I raised an eyebrow.

   "What?" I asked.

   "The doctor came in this morning and pit some stuff in the bag thingy attached to the needle in my arm. He didn't wake you because I told him not to because you looked so peaceful. I told him I remembered. He put stuff in there because I was crying again and my head felt like an exploding balloon." She giggled at that statement. "And now I feel all bubbly and my head doesn't hurt anymore." She said giggling again.

   "He gave you pain meds?" I asked.

   "I guess, but I remembered something new." She said.

   "And what's that?" I asked.

   She pulled up the nightgown she had to wear and showed me the tattoo on her side, then the one on her chest. "Parker did these. He was mean bit now he's nice and I wanna see him. Ya know before I met Parker I had always wanted a brother, then when I met him I hated him for what he was doing. But now I don't and I wanna see him. Can you bring him here?" She asked pushing her bottem lip out to pout.

   I kissed her lip and she giggled. "I'll call him." She clapped and wrapped her arms around my neck and jumped on my lap. I hugged her back and smiled.

   "Can you call him now?" She asked quietly.

   "I can but you have to get off so I can get my phone." I replied and she slowly crawled out of my lap and I stood up stretching. I grabbed my phone and told her I'd be right back.

   "Hey." Parker said when he picked up the phone.

   "Hey." I replied.

   "Did something happen? Is she okay?" He asked a bit rushed.

   "Yea, something happened, but it was good. She's remembering, and early this morning she remembered you. She wants you to come here. Like, now." I said.

   "You're kidding." He said.

   "Nope, dead serious. She wants you here." I replied.

   "I'll be there in twenty minutes." He said back.

   "Alright. But she's been getting headach's, that's what's making her remember. So try not to say anything that would trigger it when you're here." I said.

   "Alright, tell her I'll be there soon." He said hanging up.

   I walked back in the room with a smile on my face. "He's on the way." I said. She clapped and giggled. "God, you're so meesed up on pain meds." She laughed and I sat next to her on the bed and she played with my fingers until a doctor came in to check on her.

[}<>{]

   By the time Parker got here the meds had worn off. I had reminded Parker not to bring up anything that she hadn't already remembered and he said he wouldn't. I stepped out of the room to give them some space to talk.

   Softer about an hour I heard her yell out in pain. I burst through the door and she was gripping her head and sobbing and yelling. Parker was trying to sooth her but it wasn't working.

   "Get off her." I yelled and ran to her placing my thumbs on her temples rubbing slightly like I had the night before but it wasn't working. She started screaming more and more until she just stopped. She looked at me then her eyes rolled back and she went limp in my arms.

   "Clair, Clarity. Babe wake up. What the hell did you say to her?" I yelled at Parker.

   "I-It wasn't me. I swear. I was just talking to her about everything that happened after she woke up from the coma. I didn't mention anything about before." She said quickly.

   "I find that hard to believe." I stood up and punched him in the nose. But my dumb self punched him with my bad hand making me cringe in pain. He held his nose and I held my hand. I walked out of the room to get a nurse and when I came back Clarity was shaking. She was having a seizure.

   Parker and I were forced out of the room as they held her down and shot something into her arm until she stopped shaking.

   "You did this." I said turning to Parker and shoving him against the wall. I punched him in the jaw and she shoved me off him punching me back in the eye. This continued until two security guards pulled us off each other and nurses cleaned us up.

   Parker left and I sat on the ground outside Clair's room waiting for her to wake up.
