Finn's POV

"Who...are...you."

My heart stopped. What is wrong with my Jackie!? I ran out of the hospital room with tears running down my face. Jaeden tried to stop me but I shrugged him off. I ran into the bathroom and locked myself in a stall. I was sobbing uncontrollably now.

"Finn? I know you're in here." It was Jaeden. "Do you want to talk?"

I unlocked the stall door and kicked the door open. Jaeden ran into the stall and hugged me assuring me that Jack would get better. That it will get better. We stayed in the embrace for a couple minutes and it felt so good to fall into his arms knowing that he does truly care for me.

Jack's POV

I was lying in a bed in this strange room. Everything hurt. This cute boy was standing in the midst of this group of kids my age. He said hi to me but I just couldn't wrap my head around how I knew him. He looked just vaguely familiar.

"Who...are...you," I said enunciating each word, generally curious. As soon as I said these words the cute boy ran out of the room crying. That was weird, I thought to myself.

"Finn," another boy said. He had slick-backed brown hair. Finn; the name sounded familiar. But from where? The boy ran out after his friend and the rest of the group just stared in shock.

"Do you know who we are Jack?" the girl with the red hair asked. I just shook my head sadly.

"I mean, you all look familiar but I don't know from where." I started to tear up a little. This was all too much. That is when a nurse walked in.

"Oh, you're awa..." she started before being interrupted by the girl.

"Why doesn't he remember?" She had genuine concern in her voice.

"He was hit pretty hard. It might take a little while for his memory to return completely but he should be back to normal soon." They all sighed in relief.

Two women then ran into the room frantically. One of the immediately ran over and hugged me. She had long pretty brown hair. I could tell she was crying.

"Jack, you're awake!" she exclaimed.

"Uhh, yeah." I didn't remember who she was. Fuck.

"Where's Finn?" the other woman asked.

"He ran off when Jack didn't remember anything. Jaeden went after him," the chubby boy of the group said. The woman, probably Finn's mom, seemed distraught.

"Wait. Do you know who I am honey?" the woman hovering over my bed asked. I simply shook my head.

"I'm your mom. And Finn; he's you're, umm, boyfriend I guess." I was in shock. The cute boy with the amazing name was my boyfriend. I feel terrible that I don't completely remember. I hope he's alright.

I hugged my mom and started crying. She let me and we stayed like that for awhile.

Finn's POV

"Finn, it's going to be alright," Jaeden said to me once my sobbing started to subside.

"I hope so." We both got up as I wiped away my tears. "Let's go back to see Jackie. I'm fine now." He agreed and we left the bathroom.

When we got back to Jack's hospital room my mom immediately hugged me.

"Uhh, hi mom," I said as she caught me off guard.

"Are you okay, honey?"

"Well, I have been better." I tried to fake a smile.

I looked over at Jackie and he was talking to his mom. How could he not remember me? He was probably asking a bunch of questions. Mrs. Grazer stood up from Jack's side and motioned me to go talk to him. I decided to do just that.

"Jack, you really don't remember me?" I said with a sad look on my face.

"Not really, but my mom said that we are boyfriends," he said to me and I was speechless.

"Yeah, kinda. I love you Jack." He just looked at me blankly. I just sat there staring into his eyes. After awhile everyone else left, even his mom. She said she was going to go home and to call if we needed anything. Jack still had to stay in the hospital for a little longer.

One hour later

Jack was asleep; hopefully not permanently. I held his hand and stared at his beautiful face noticing his steady breathing. I loved him so much and I couldn't lose him. Not now; not ever. I wonder if he would ever truly go back to being his old self. I was so tired myself at this point that I fell asleep in the chair next to his bed, my fingers interlaced with his.

Jack's POV

Jack's Dream

"I think I'm in love with you, Finnie."

"Sorry, I just had to tell you how I feel. I know you probably don't fee-"

I was cut off by his lips on mine. My stomach was in literal knots; I never wanted this moment to end.

"Finally!" a boy screamed standing in the doorway smirking. For the first time, I realized that Finn and I were in Halloween costumes in a strange room that seems vaguely familiar.

I woke up from my slumber covered in sweat. My dream was so real. It felt more like a memory than a dream. I looked over and Finn was asleep in the chair next to me. I nudged him and he stirred around before opening his eyes to look at me.

"Jackie.." he started but I pulled him forward into a passionate kiss. He let me and I slowly slid my tongue into his mouth. We kissed for a few minutes before I finally pulled away reluctantly staring at the beautiful boy in front of me.

"Finnie, I think I remember."
