Colby pov:

It was exactly one week after Jas got in the accident. That night I had to phone my family and let them know that I wouldn't be down for a long long time.
I have visited every day, tbh I've just stayed there the whole time but Alyx still doesn't fully know who I am. I think it's because she's stuck in the hospital in unfamiliar surroundings. The doctor told me that hopefully she would regain her memory within 1-2 months, pretty lucky considering a lot of people never regain that memory. But there still is a small chance she may not regain it.
I brought her in her favourite chocolates to see if they would regain any memory but Elton laughed and told me it had to be more of an emotional connection than chocolate. So I've decided to wait until she is aloud home to introduce her to things to try and see if she recognised things.
Sam filmed a video explaining everything that had happened and why I wouldn't be on my channel uploading that week. I couldn't film because I was in the hospital all the time and I didn't even want to. I couldn't even face to film the video explaining stuff, that's why Sam filmed it and uploaded it to my channel for me. The guys have been a lot of help. I've been no use at all, I've basically just sat in the hospital and when I wasn't there I was at home crying hoping we could return to how we once were.

Today is the day she gets home.

I had to call Alyx's family and explain what had happened, it was pretty heartbreaking. They told me that they think it was best for her if she stayed with me after she got out of the hospital because this was her new home and she liked LA better. They were going to come down and visit once she started to regain some of her memory to see if she remembered her family.

The week that I had spent in the hospital I had spent it sitting explaining to Alyx who I was, what I did (youtube), who she was, what she did, where we lived, how we met, where she was from, who we lived with, her family and our memories.

"Home sweet home" I said walking Alyx into the big house. I think she was a little overwhelmed.

"You remember who this is right?" I said pointing to all of the guys standing greeting us. The guys had come in and visited her in the hospital so I had already explained to her and told her their names.

"Yeah. Sam?..Devyn?..Elton?..Aaron?..Corey?" She said slowly pointing to all of the guys, it took her a while but she managed.

"Yeah good job. What about her?" I said pointing to Kat, her best friend in the world, she forgot to say Kats name.

"I..i don't know what's her name." She said. Kats face turned pale as she ran away upstairs with Sam following behind her.

"I'm sorry, what, what did I do?" She asked. I felt so bad.

"Remember, that's Kat, I've told you the story about you and Kat remember?" I told her.

"Aw dammit, yeah I remember the story you told me." She said as I told her we were going up to my room. I think she was a little overwhelmed with all of the people, the big house and Eltons pink dog.

"So this is where you live?" She asked sitting on our bed.

"No, this is where we live" I corrected her.

"I'm sorry" She said, she keeps on forgetting and it breaks my heart but I'm trying to hard.

She looked as gorgeous as ever even if she was in a cast looking tired. I just missed being able to kiss her and hold her hand and sleep next to her. It's been a week since I've even laughed, I miss her so bad.

"I remember this!" She said making me turn around to her, to see her sitting smelling my oversized tshirt which she wore to bed every night.

"Yeah it's my tshirt. Well, it's yours. It was mine but you sleep with it on every night because you liked how it smelt like me." I explained to her.

"Yeah i remember how it was yours and how much I loved it" she told me, I was so happy she finally remembered something. I went over and gave her a hug, she hugged back this time.

"Do you recognise these people?" I said holding a picture of her family up.

"No who are they" She said, my face fell along with any hope I had.

"Thats your mom, dad, sister and brother back in Scotland that I told you about" I explained.

"Aw yeah I remember you telling me that story" she said. That's all I seemed to hear from her now.

We all sat down the stairs playing video games. Except from Alyx. She sat up the stairs because she didn't want to come down. I don't blame her to be honest, i wouldn't want to sit in a room full of people i didn't know anymore that claimed i had a life with them as they tried to get me to remember them by forcing their memories at me.
It was weird sitting down the stairs with everyone without her. It felt like it did before Alyx came into my life, I hated it. It felt like she wasn't there and she had never appeared and like nothing had changed since days before i met her. The thoughts alone of living a life without Alyx and without her fully knowing how our life was made me want to be sick. Well it didn't make me want to be sick. It made me.
I ran up from the bean bag that I was siting on, throwing my remote to the floor and running in front of everyone as I went to the bathroom. I threw up and then sat and sobbed on the floor.

"Colby please open the door" I heard Sam say.

I didn't reply and hoped he would go away.

"Im going to kick this fucking door down if you don't open it, i need to know that your are okay" He said seconds later.

Again I didn't say anything but I sat and continued to silently sob. Seconds later I heard kicking at the door and the door started to shake, I leant up my arm and unlocked the door for Sam because I could really do without the door coming off the wall at this moment in time.

Sam fell to the floor with me, hugging me.

"It's going to be alright man" He said as he patted his hand on my back.

"It's not" I sobbed into his shoulder. Why was this happening to me.

---------------

I walked into my room hours later to see Alyx lying down on my bed asleep. She had on the tshirt. The only thing she remembered. I didn't know if she would want me to sleep with her and I didn't want to wake her to ask her. I had a sofa in my bedroom at the bottom of my bed, so I took of my shirt and put on my sweats, going to sleep on my sofa.
