Together or Apart

Chapter 19 - Don't You Remember

C H A P T E R N I N E T E E N : DON'T YOU REMEMBER

Scarlett's POV

My eye lids opened as I saw myself surrounded by my mom, Nathan, Lucy, Jenn, Greg, Holden, and Jack. I tried to think of why I saw my mom and all the people from New York. Maybe they had come down to see me try to walk for the first time. I saw a new doctor, Doctor David, come in to talk to me.

"She had a concussion last night, we stitched her up this morning, she may not be able to remember a lot of things about last night."

I was so confused who was this "Doctor David", and where was Dr. Lorenzo. Maybe David was just a nurse or specialist even, and what did he mean by everything he had said.

As he said that I tried to remember what exactly happened. And why did he say concussion? Had I already walked for the first time and split my head once I let go of the handles? Doctor David left the room leaving the people who cared for me around me. My mom looked like she had cried all night. And why did Jack drive an hour over here to see me, he didn't want to see me before - why now? And what really got me was why my mom even drove or flew from NY to MA. It's not the best drive but people could handle.

"Baby, do you remember what happened last night?" asked my mom as she held my sweaty hand. Her hands were shaking and her voice was as well. She trembled.

"Anything at all?" asked Greg who looked anxious and worried. All I remembered involved me and Greg. I remember that we kissed. That I kissed him first, and then I saw him running out of the room like he was frightened by the kiss.

"Didn't we kiss or something?" I asked, the people in the room sort of lost sight of what I said and looked instantly looked at Jack to see his reaction and what he was going to say, but he didn't say anything he just left the room with everyone else but Greg and Holden. That was weird.

"You really don't remember what happened?"

I nodded my head. I just remembered kissing Greg and asking him to come to the wedding with me again. With that being said, I wondered where they were.

"Oh my gosh, we're late to Suzanne's wedding." I said, removing the blankets off of me. But as I sat up, I read Winchester Hospital. I looked around at Greg and Holden who looked at me looking at them.

"We attended her wedding, yesterday." Greg said.

I shook my head trying to remember what happened and what triggered my "concussion". And if I did have a concussion why was I in the hospital, shouldn't I have been congratulating Suzanne and Brent.

"We were at the wedding and they got married, and then we went to the party where you said an amazing speech and toasted to Bruzanne. We were just about to go back to your mom's house when you fell backwards." Holden explained.

And right then, the images flashed back into my mind. I saw myself being pulled by the wrists over to the corner by Jack. He must have tried to talk to me but it looked like I had rejected him or something. Then I saw myself being clapped by the thousands of people sitting in the room as I had just toasted to the newly weds, and then I felt myself being pulled to the ground my feet shaking in front of me because I hadn't been rolling in my wheelchair, my flashback finally stops to where I was now. I finally understood what had happened.

Greg and Holden looked to me as they saw me looking to "outer space". I looked to Greg and Holden and began crying. Crying because I had just confessed to Jack that I had kissed Greg, crying because Doctor Lorenzo won't trust me again to stay in a wheelchair when I needed to, crying because all the attention was on me when it was supposed to be on the newly weds.

"Is everything okay?" asked Greg. I shook my head as Dr. David came in the room, Greg and Holden leaving me with him to talk about my concerns.

"You're head is all stitched up, you're just going to need to keep some ice on it. And also, stay in your wheelchair for 2 more months, and then you can visit me again and see how you've improved."

I wanted to ask how much longer I would have to stay at the hospital, but he left even before I could speak a word. I knew I would have to be flown back to Massachusetts today, but I may have to stay at the hospital in New York for a while. Plus I had just fallen on my head, not my legs again but I knew to respect the doctor and listen to him, otherwise I would probably be dead.
