Please... Don't forget me

Chapter 1: Please... Don't forget me

It was a cold Saturday night. Michael and I were on our way home after having a night out eating pizza and going to an arcade. Michael was driving and I was sitting in the passenger seat. I couldn't help but admire how beautiful he looked listening to his favorite songs with a small smile plastered on his face. As we pulled up to a stop sign, ours being the only car there, he turned up the volume as our favorite Ed Sheeran songs came on. All of the stars blasted from the radio. I laughed as Michael began singing the song rather badly, screaming each lyric. "So open your eyes and see!" He yelled the lyrics just as he pressed on the gas peddle to start us moving again. "The way our horizons meet And all of the lights will lead Into the night with me"he yelled out even louder making me erupt into laughter. "And I know these scars will bleed But both of our hearts believe" he started screaming again closing his eyes, pressing the gas peddle a little harder.

My laughter died down a bit and I opened my eyes and looked at him and he looked back at me just as my eyes widened. I watched as a pair of headlights sped towards up no sign of slowing down or going to try and turn. "Michael!" I screamed but it was to late. The car rammed into Michaels side. I watched as his face turned Into full on panic. Everything went into slow motion. The car flipped in the air. I felt myself being thrashed around. I saw Michaels head smash into the side of the window. Red slowly started to take over his blond hair. I think he was knocked out after that because his limbs showed no sign of moving to try and brace himself.

My right arm slammed into the door and I felt a snap. I felt my own head slam into the side of the car making all the sounds muffle and my vision to become blurry, black slowly starting to take over my vision. I was no longer being thrashed around. The car was flipped over and we were upside down. I unbuckled my belt trying to get out of when was left of the car. I tried kicking the door out but had no strength. I looked at Michael hanging there unconscious no movement. Cuts all over his face and blood soaked hair. Eventually the blackness took over my vision and I passed out.

I heard this annoying beeping sound. Why is there an annoying beeping sound. I opened my eyes and a bright light blurred my vision as my eyes tried to adjust to the lighting. I heard muffled voices but couldn't make out who they belonged to. My vision finally adjusted and I looked around the room to see white walls and all sorts of machines set up next to me. Where am I? Last time I checked I was in the road in a car crash was that all just a dream?

"Hello?! Is anyone where?" I yelled out softly, my voice harsh and weak. A lady came into the room, she had short jet black hair and wore a white coat. "Andrea," she said but I interrupted. "Andie, just Andie." I said "Alright. Andie, you're at St. Memorial hospital. There was a car accident." She said slowly. "Wait so it wasn't a dream! I was in a car crash! Oh my god Michael! Where's my boyfriend! Where is he! Michael!" I yelled trying to get up but the doctor told me to stay laying down. "Michael is fine. He's in a room not far from your. He's stable but hasn't woken yet, he might not wake up for a few days considering how hard he hit his head but he's doing fine." The doctor said and I nodded. "Can't I see him?" I ask. "No. Not right now. We are keeping him under close watch so no visitors at the moment. But we do have some people here to see you. I'll send them in." She smiled and I smiled back and started to relax just the slightest.

I watched as the door opened and 3 figures walked in. "Andie oh my god your okay!" My Bestfriend Katie said smiling. "Yeah I just have a splitting head ache." I said finally realizing the stabbing pain in my head. "I'll go get your nurse." Luke said before kissing Katie on the cheek. "Glad to see your okay." He smiled before leaving. I watched him leave before hearing someone sniffle I assumed it was Katie. "Kate I'm fine. Just a few scratches and a broken arm but I'm fine." I said laughing. "Yeah I know but we could've lost you and Michael both." She said "but I'm okay." I said "and so is he." I smiled and opened up my good arm for her to come hug me. "Andie you idiot." I heard Ashton's voice. "Hey is that any way to talk to an injured friend." I smile and he laughed. "This is what you get when you drive home at 4 am. You should've known been more careful." He said. "I know I wasn't thinking." I said in a small voice. "But you live and you learn." I say. I talked with them all a little longer till my nurse came in with some pain meds and shuffled everyone out so I could sleep.

It's been about 3 days since the accident and Michael hasn't woken up once. I was released from the hospital not long after I woke up. I still didn't go home though. I just stayed outside of Michaels room the whole time. Along with Ashton. Luke went to go take Katie home so she could sleep and go to school. Luke stayed because she asked him to stay, she was still shaken up about the whole accident, so we didn't have those two blondes here. Calum decided to stay in the room with Michael incase he woke up.

It was day 4 when Calum came running out of the room. "He's awake." Calum said and Ashton ran into the room immediately and I got up just as fast only to be stopped but Calum. "Andie I need to talk to before you go inside." Calum said holding out his hand to stop me. "Can't it wait?" I ask and he shook his head "No it's about Michael. He uh. He woke up and he doesn't remember the accident." Calum said without looking me in the eyes "okay? That's good he doesn't remember getting hurt. He doesn't have to remember all the pain." I said. "No it's not because he doesn't remember anything past a certain time." Calum said slowly. "What time?" I ask and I could see Calum becoming hesitant "Calum what time?" I say harsher. "His last memory was a few months before we met you." Calum says quietly. "No. That's, that's not possible! There's no way. You're lying!" I say and I rush past Calum into the room. I walked in and they all looked at me.

"Do-Do you know who I am?" I ask. "Yeah I do." He said. "You're a patient here and you're a fan of our band right?" He asks. "I- I'm sorry?" I ask tears welling up in my eyes. "Wait you're not a fan?" He asked "No... I-Im not. You know what forget it. I need to. I need to go." I said rushing out of the room and running out side. I collapsed infront of the hospital in tears and panic. He doesn't remember me. The- the love of my life doesn't know who I am. I began to sob uncontrollably as I felt arms wrap around me. "Andie. It'll be okay. The doctors said he could remember in time." Calum whispered to me as I cried into his shirt.

Michael, Please... Don't forget me.
