Little things in life // Why Don't We

Chapter 7: Amnesia

Kara's P.O.V

I wake up to find Daniel sitting beside my bed again and smile politely, he's very nice "you know you don't have to stay here all the time, your a great friend, I'm glad I have you" I say taking his hand.

He looks at me with tears in his eyes and lays his forehead on our hands and cries "I wish you could remember, if you did, it wouldn't be so painful, the way you look at him" he says crying.

I raise an eyebrow, why does he keep saying that? Like I'm hurting him or something "Daniel, are you okay? What's wrong? I know I have amnesia but can't you tell me?" I ask patting his head gently.

He looks up at me, tears falling down his face and smiles sadly, as if I could fix it "what's the point? The doctor says you should remember in a week or two, this will kill me though" he says.

"Just tell me, it may kill me if I have a nagging sense that I did something wrong."

"Your really wanna know?."

Before he can tell me what he's upset about Jack walks through the door with coffee and I smile. I damn the consequences and jump out of bed letting go of Daniel and hopping over to Jack happily.

He puts the coffee down on one of the beds near mine and I wrap my arms around his neck, he smiles. I smile back and kiss his cheek, he starts to pull away when I kiss him on the lips, he pulls away.

I look at him quizzical and he grabs the coffee and took it to Daniel, he thanked Jack "so what were you going to tell me? Something I don't remember apparently" I say smiling at Jack.

He grips his own cup of coffee and nods, taking a small sip of his own drink "are you sure you want to tell her now? It's probably better to wait until she remembers" Jack says quietly.

Daniel looks at him annoyed and Jack looks away from him watching the window intensely "Jacks right, we should wait a few weeks, it will just complicate things" he says waving me off.

"Things already are complicated Daniel, my whole life is complicated, tell me!"

"You and Daniel were having a little thing and you nearly got killed, happy?" Jack yells.

I sit on the bed shocked, it must not have meant much if I don't remember it right? "How long? I mean, why would I like Jack if I was dating you? This doesn't make sense" I say annoyed.

Daniel reaches for me but I pull away, he looks hurt again and sits back down "we weren't dating, we kissed a few times but I was falling for you, stupid right?" He says looking down at his hands.

"That's why your here everyday, why every time I wake up, I see you."

"Yep, because that's me being creepy and trying not to make you notice."m

I smile and think about all the times I've woken up over the last few days and how he's always there. I look at Jack and I can't help but feel guilty, we had a thing and I never had anything with Jack, he must be going through hell.

I stand up and walk over to Daniel, I hug him tightly and he seems shocked until he hugs back. Just as I hug him I start remembering our first kiss, he had layers with me when I was scared, he had cared for me when no one else had.

I start to cry when Corbyn and Jonah walking in with bags of chocolates and stop dead "does she remember? Please tell me she does because it's so awkward lately like for real" Corbyn says laughing

I smile and let go of Daniel, I look up at him and I can't believe I didn't see it before "the first time we kissed, was after I blacked out in the pool and I woke up next to you" I say quietly.

Daniel seems to glow when I say that and he hugs me tighter than ever and I laugh, then the doctor walks in the room talking to Zach. He has a worried look on his face when he sees me and I smile and Daniel kisses my head causing me to blush.

The doctor sits me down and asks the others to leave and I just think it's a normal checkup "this may be hard to hear, but with your disease, it may have effected your amnesia" he says.

I raise an eyebrow worried, am I sick again? Will I be the one to die this time? What's wrong? "What do you mean? Have you told the boys this? Do they know?" I ask, I hope it isn't bad.

"Zachary knows, I'm sure he won't tell the others but it's very important you know."

I nod along as he tells me what's wrong and suddenly I can't breathe, why was this happening to me? I'm practically in a ball of tears when the boys come back, Zach ushers over to me and lays next to me.

It's reassuring to know I have a friend like him, he lets me lay my head on his arm and I fall asleep listening to the boys humming. When I wake they're not there but I can hear them talking out in the hall.

"What do you mean? That stuff only happens in movies."

"It's true! I swear! And it doesn't help either of you might I add."

Jack walks into the room and I start to cry. This always happens to me.
