LOVE OR?

Chapter 7

We placed all the boxes in the apartment and started deciding where to for lunch, "the pizza place 4 blocks away from here." I said as I took my car keys. "Last one to reach there, will pay the bill."

As they listened, they too quickly took their respective keys, sat in their cars but i was the first one to start my car and be in first place.

They both ignited their car engines and brought it out of the parking onto the main street as I stared at them while driving in my rear view mirror.

Everything goes blank, as I hear something screeching on the road, my head's shaking. I look at my hands and there is blood all over them, my air bag inflated.

Everything is upside down, people approaching me as I look through the window.

Everything is getting black.

"ARE YOU..... OOOOKKKKAAAAYYY!!"

A man speaks, "where am i?" as the man points some light in my eyes.

"CAN YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME!" he speaks.

Everything is black again.

I open my eyes as I am being pushed by some 5-6 people in blue.

"C3-c4 spine injury, multiple bruises, multiple fractures." I heard it as I try to move my hands almost uttering "where am.....i...??"

Everything is black again.

I wake up with my head hurting like hell, not able to move at all, I opened my eyes to see some people in front of me but cant make out the proper figures.

"Do you know where you are?" A voice speak to me and I go black again.

Opening and closing of eyes happens again. I see my mother, father, Stacey and Kyle and a strange man looking at me during those episodes.

Finally I wake up, trying to move my fingers with the most strength I can use. I want to swallow but something is choking me. There are so many tubes around me and a monitor beeping.

"Sssshhhh.... it is okay, you were in an accident." A comforting voice, my mother.

"Mom, what happened to me?" I asked as tears dropped down my eyes.

She trying to control herself puts a hand over my head and holds my hand. The warmth I got from her was so relieving, but everything else just hurts.

"I don't want to sleep, please talk to me." As I said these words, everything just went black.

I wake up again and this time it did not hurt much. Opening my eyes to see my family, friends and a stranger once again. Ignoring it, I look at my mom, who hold my hand in happiness.

"What happened?" I asked mom in a confused state. "You were in a accident two weeks ago, you have been going in and out for the time being." My mom said clenching my hand more tightly.

"Now I am going to miss school, prom is soon coming." I told her in a sad stage.

"Prom??" My mother asked in a confused stage.

The doctor enters, a handsome man almost taking my breath away.

"Hello! Miss kyra, how are you doing today?" The handsome doctor asked me.

As i was about to say the words, "I am...."

"She is talking about prom and she is 26 years old." My mother spoke instantly in a worried tone.

"Okay! Can you tell what date and year it is today?" The doctor said while writing something.

"It is 2009, 24th." I said in a confused state, not understanding what was happening. He points some light in my eyes asks me to do some things and then he said, "she is suffering from amnesia, she does not remember anything from that day onwards, did she suffer from any accident that day?" The doc asked my mother. "No! Not at all." My mother replied with tears in her eyes.

"Do not stress her and make everything comfortable for her as much as possible, the memory may come back in suitable situations." The doc said, and my mom almost in tears hold me tightly, my father controlling himself put a hand on my mom's shoulder trying to comfort her.

LATER THAT DAY

Stacey and Kyle came in, seeing Kyle made my heart jump, a comfort seeing him and a stranger beside them. "Hey you guys, you guys look old!" I said as I looked at them but Kyle, he looked more handsome as he comes towards me to give me a single beautiful lily, he knew how much I loved lilies.  Stacey jumped right in for the hug.

"ooowwww!" I said while hugging her back. "Sorry!" Stacey said while trying to clear a tear from the corner of the eye.

"This is Ben." Stacey told me while pointing at him.

"Are you her boyfriend?" I asked him in a teasing tone. Almost losing his control, he steps out from the room.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked looking at them.

"He is not my boyfriend but a fiancée, your fiancée. You got engaged 3 weeks ago." Stacey said. Shocked i feel with my head hurting, images running in my mind, Ben, ring, the night...

"My head hurts, go away, why are you saying this stuff? Huh? I am in high school with prom coming up in few weeks and I love Kyle, not that guy!" As I said those words, I put a hand on my mouth.

Seeing Kyle in that stage, I didn't know what to say. "I am sorry, Kyle."  I said and Kyle steps out of the room too, Stacey follows him outside.

"Are you okay? Love!" My mother asked who witnessed everything.

"Why is all this happening to me?" I asked her while I cried my heart out on her shoulder. She comforted me and told me everything that doctor said and everything about me Ben, Stacey and Kyle.

In a shock I was. I could not understand anything, with my head banging like hell i decided to sleep again.
