Forget Me Not ( Danisnotonfire )

Chapter 14

I got out of bed and tried to run after them , evidently my legs weren't used to the sudden exercise so I came crashing down , I hit the side of my bed and cried out in pain , attracting every doctor , nurse or receptionist in sight .  They all fussed around me and put me back in the bed and hurried off again , great back to square 1. 

I could hear the man shouting from down the corridor , he sounded so sad . I felt really awful , I don't know why but I did .

The nurse came back after a little bit and sat beside me , folding her legs , sighing whilst saying my name .

" That man , he was .."

" Is." I heard the man interrupt from behind the curtain , I tried to angle my head to see him , but it hurt my neck so I gave up .

" Is, your boyfriend , he was with you in the crash , you've been going out for a little while ..." She continued on but I'd stopped listening .

I have a boyfriend?

I mean I know I have a bad memory but not bad enough I'd forget my boyfriend

Shit I actually have a boyfriend !?

Yay me .

Wait

" How come I don't know ..don't remember .. " I interrupted the nurse , she shut her mouth quickly and went to get the notes at the end of my bed.

" When you came into hospital you had a clot on your brain and a severely deep cut to the back of your head. We put you into a controlled coma when you came in - "

" Yes. Fine . That doesn't tell me why I've forgotten about someone supposedly important to me ? "  Impatiently I interrupted .

She sighed  and pushed some of her hair behind her ear.

" We think the clot caused you some minor amnesia , the last year of your life has been lost , and it may be regained again , it may not... you can't remember him because you met less than a year ago. " The nurse confirmed .

I heard a quiet wimpering from behind the curtain ..Shit Jesus on hell..

"That can't be right.. I feel fine , my normal self! " My breathing was quickening , becoming more sharp , The man ran in and sat beside me bed , grabbed my hand and told me to breathe in and out with him , some part of me Instantly trusted him so I obeyed.

My breathing slowed , though my heartbeat quickened . I stared at him for a few seconds , he was pretty hot, they sure he's my boyfriend ?

Not the time Teddi.

I awkwardly coughed and the guy moved quickly sitting down on a nearby chair .

"Thats it , you'll feel like your old self , its just like the past year hasn't happened . Normally after around 6-8 weeks you start remembering if you're going to .  What we recommend is that you try and live the life before the accident , do What you used to do -"

" I don't remember  , how am I suppose to settle back in to a life I haven't lived yet?" I snapped angrily .

" I'll show you ..?"

I turned my head and saw ..Jesus I need to learn his name , smile weakly up at me " I mean I was with you practically 24/7 " He suggested .

I nodded and turned to the nurse who shrugged " It's up to you , I'll leave you two alone , when you're done , come at get me and I'll do some final checks."

The nurse left , leaving an awkward silence between us.

" So you're my boyfriend ..?" I registered not making eye contact .

" Yeah .. god I really want to , " He looked up hopeful but shook whatever it was away

"You really have no idea who I am do you?"

I shook my head , god he looked so..disappointed.

" Sorry.." I muttered looking down at the bed.

" No , its not your fault , don't think its your fault Ted , its not . It was that selfish fucking Taxi driver's fault , it should be him here not you , not my - " He broke off , crying into his hands .

I felt awful for him , here's me not remembering a thing and he's , he looks like he's lost the world ..

" Wait , What happened with The Taxi Driver ?!" I asked urgently , suddenly alarmed by the fact he hadn't got a good review then .

" He had a few broken bones and a court sentence " He said sarcastically.

" He was on his phone , the whole time , texting , hardly ever looking up , he turned the corner without looking and all he ended up with is 3 broken bones !? He should be the one here, his life ruined , or worse! " He sadly cried .

" My life isn't ruined .."  I murmerred. He looked up at me his eyes red.

" Mine is ". 

He looked down at he knees and rested his forerhead inbetween his thumb and index finger .

" Dan ."  He stood his hand out for me to shake it , I took it slowly "Teddi " , Shit he knows my name already, " I mean ..uh .. hi " I covered making him shake his head and breathe out in humour .

" A massive knock to the head , but you're still as awkward as before ." He laughed.  I chuckled lightly before turning towards him and crossing my legs .

" So you're my boyfriend , my actual boyfriend."  I stated . " You."

" Don't sound too disappointed , its Whats beneath that counts . " He nodded .

The cover aint bad.

" No No I didn't mean it like that ! I meant like ..like ..woah..wait a second how can I believe I'm going out with you? I need some proof or something you could just be a weirdo " I asked , intrigued .

" Theodora Minnie Copper -" He started .

" OK ! That's enough !" I shushed him quickly.

" I knew it would be , why do you hate your name , its really nice , really pretty. " He smiled , I shook my head and raised one eyebrow.

"My name is Theorodora , that alone sounds like a snobbie blonde chick name , which is really not me , and Minnie Cooper that's just self explanatory." I said scratching the back of my head , going over my scar making me wince , I pulled my finger back quickly before placing it gently over the delicate area.

" When you went through the windscreen that was " Dan clarified .

" What was it a Windscreen made of jesus..." I felt the width of the cut , god ..

" So um .. you're Dan , my boyfriend .. Shit you were in the cab right!? Were you ok?!" I asked panicked.

" Yeah I was absolutely fine .. and I wasn't even wearing a seatbelt in the first place , it should be me there , not you." He said looking up at my bed sighing .

I smiled awkwardly at him , I didn't want him to be where I am because I hardly know him , I know he knows me and I guess I must've really liked him at somepoint..just eugh I dunno.

" So when we leave hospital , do you want to go back to your place or mine..?" Dan shuffled his feet and cracked his knuckles.

" Um.. where would I be most before the ..uh accident.." I wanted him to say my place, I knew that if it was his place that I'd have to go there a lot and all I  wanted was to sleep , on my own in a place I'm familiar with .

" Ugh, more recently my place , its a dorm at our uni . But mainly your place ."

" Ok ",

I was glad it was home , I wanted to go back home , Just away from everything .

" I'll drive you back later " Dan suggested , looking around the curtain , presumably for the nurse .

" Ok. " Is all I could manage , I want to wake up and this be all a dream , but that doesn't happen , not to people like me .
