Asher's POV

There was a tight feeling on my right arm like something was strapped there. It smelled like, that weird hospital smell. I opened my eyes and turned to my left to see this woman, about middle aged, with her head on the bed crying.

Asher: 'Um who are you, and why are you crying'

????: Oh my god! I thought.. No I um... Are you ok? I'm so sorry honey. This is all my fault. I should have been more careful. Don't worry Peyton is in the room next door, I just checked on her she's awake and she's fine.

Asher: Who's Peyton? And why are you sorry? And why am I in the hospital?

So many questions were running through my mind. To many to say out loud. Who was this woman and why does she seem to care about me. And who's Peyton?

Mrs Lee: Honey it's me Mrs Lee. Mom? Peyton's Mom too?

Asher: That's impossible, my mom left forever ago and she did not look like you.

Mrs Lee: I think you may have amnesia. *She Sighed* I'll explain everything later but right now...

Mrs Lee was cut off by someone barging in through the door.

???: Ash!! Oh my god, are you ok? I was so worried.

She said while holding a crutch in one hand to support her other leg. I didn't reply. I was really confused, who is this person?

Mrs Lee: Um Pey, something's happened to Asher. The car accident effected him more than any of us. He has Amnesia.

The room was then dead silent. It was quiet for so long it began feeling awkward. Then She finally spoke.

Peyton: What?

She said in the quietest voice, she looked almost broken.

Peyton: Are you telling me that my one and only best friend doesn't know who I am? This can't be happening.

She dropped her crutch and sat at the end of my bed.

Asher: Look I'm really sorry. But I have no idea who you people are, so can you please leave.

Peyton began crying. She didn't even look at him. She got up and exited the room slowly.

Mrs Lee: Ok, so I'm gonna go and I hope you get better soon honey, your dad will come and check on you when he's done at work. Bye

After work? Why can't he come now? It's seems like Mrs Lee cares more about me than my own Dad. 

What am I supposed to do now if I can't remember anything about my life?

Mrs Lee's POV

It's almost 10:00 and Peyton still isn't home. I'm worried sick. She's been acting up and rebelling since the car crash. This is all my fault. Since Asher isn't there anymore she feels alone and I guess she's very hurt. The person she trusted most in the world isn't there for her anymore.

Then I heard the front door open, I quickly stopped biting my nails from anxiousness and got up.

Peyton: *Laughing* Thanks for the ride home Andrew, I'll see you at school tomorrow.

She closes the door and walks inside the house coming face to face with me.

Mrs Lee: PEYTON! Where have you been young lady? Do you have any idea what time it is and how worried sick I was?

Peyton: Mom chill I was just out with my friends. 

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I knew exactly why she was being this way.

Mrs Lee: Ok, starting tomorrow we are gonna give Asher rides to school again and you will become friends with him again or no more hanging out with 'Andrew' and no more parties. You come home straight after school and do your school work that's it. Understand?

Peyton: But mom?  You can't be serious. Please don't do this to me. Besides I don't think Asher even wants to see me. 

Mrs Lee: We have to be there for him Pey, he needs his best friend and his mom right now.

I gave her a hug and hoped that she would listen and reconnect with Ash. Those two need each other to survive. 

Mrs Lee: Oh and if you're hungry there's some takeaway on the counter. Night Honey.

Peyton: Night Mom.
