Amnesia

Chapter 1

Tuesday January 1st 2014

I could hear the shuffle of shoes against the floor and the low rumble of voices was filling over the beeping of machines. The bright light of the room made me wince a I fluttered open my eyes.

"Oh my darling you're awake' the small female came dashing towards me, she looked familiar, but somehow I just couldn't place her.

"W-who are you ?" I stuttered, my mouth dry. I watched as the small ladies face fell, I could see the moisture filling her eyes and I knew my question had upset her somehow.

"I'm your mum" she choked out, her voice shaky as the tears dripped down her face.

"Oh" I could feel myself beginning to well up as well, I was unable to recognise my own mother.

"I'll just go and find the doctor" my mother spoke as she stood, leaving the room.

I sat myself up a little, despite the pain in my head and scanned the room taking in my surroundings, it was light outside suggesting it was still daytime. I had no clue of the time or the date though.

My eyes settled on a teenage boy asleep in the corner of the room, he had dark hair with a blue strip on his fringe, he was pale-ish and was in a pair of black skinny jeans that looked borderline uncomfortable. He was snoring lightly and cuddling a jacket which I assumed to be his. But once again I was unable to place to the boy, I had no idea who he was and my fear of my lack of memory was started to engulf my being.

I heard the door open and my mum came in with a tall brunette in tow, I'm guessing she's the doctor my mum left to find.

"Good afternoon Georgia, I'm Dr. Jensen, how are you feeling?" She had a soft voice and she flashed me a pearly white smile at the end of her introduction.

"Uhm, I have a headache but I'm fine, W-what happened to me ?" I asked in return, my voice wobbling slightly.

" unfortunately we don't know what happened, but we do know that you suffered quite a knock to the head, which has caused some temporary amnesia. Obviously we are unable to tell how much memory you have lost, or when it's going to return" She explained and I just nodded, the word amnesia was echoing in my head.

"How long was out for ?" I asked, so many questions were forming in my head and it was making my headache worse.

" only for a few hours, it was what we call a stress induced coma, the events that took place before and during the incident have put your body under a lot of stress. This type of thing is normal following high levels of stress and fairly severe head injury. Normally memory returns within a few months and everything will go back to normal, only in a few cases does it longer to return." She explained but I switched off half way through, it was too information for me to process.

"What's the date?" I asked, before letting out a loud yawn.

"January 1st 2014, New Year's Day. I'll let you sleep now." The doctor replied with smile before leaving the room.

I shuffled myself lower down the bed and pulled the blanket up, I yawned one last time before closing my eyes and letting the darkness swallow me up once more.

I awoke some hours later, and I saw the boy who was asleep in the corner earlier, sitting beside the bed.

"Hi" he greeted me with a toothy smile, he had dark circles under his bloodshot eyes and he clearly hadn't slept properly in the last 48 hours.

"Uh, hi" I replied running my hand through my hair, surprisingly not too greasy considering it hadn't been washed in a couple of days.

"How are you feeling ?" He asked as he enclosed my hand in his.

"Okay, considering" I replied giving a weak smile, I still had no clue as to who he is.

"Yeah, you gave me a real fright, your mum rang me she was an absolute state, I nearly crashed my car getting here." He continued and I was beginning to conclude that he was somewhat important to me.

"I don't know if anyone's told you but I uh, have amnesia, and I'm sorry but I don't remember who you are" I muttered and I could see the sadness fill his eyes.

"I'm your boyfriend" he answered and I just nodded, trying to remember something, anything about him, anything about us.

"How long ?" I asked, hoping it would help somehow

"A year today" he mumbled and I swallowed, if I couldn't remember who he was it meant I'd lost almost a years worth of memory. I hadn't realised I was crying until he gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.

"I - I don't remember" I replied between sobs and he nodded, taking in my statement.

"It's okay baby, you'll get there" he reassured, as my sobs subsided.

"So what's your name ?" I asked, my voice still shaky from my tears.

"Michael, Michael clifford" he replied with a smile, his hand still holding mine.
