One past. Two futures.

Chapter One

03:00 am.

Another dream that means absolutely nothing. Why does this happen to me, it's as if being in this hospital makes it any less agonizing. I wish I knew what happened. I wish someone would explain to me. But I'm here with no idea what happened and no memory beyond my years of youth. The entire span of the past two years has completely evaporated. I'm alone in a dark hospital room at 3 am hallucinating and hungry - what a life.

I decide to close my eyes and go back to sleep and wait for the same nurse to come and lull me into my sanity again.

"Is she awake?"

"I dunno man can we shake her?"

"No don't touch her the nurse said she'd freak out"

"Well let's get chips then I'm hungry"

"Shut up Ashton she just had an accident, is on her death bed, and you wanna get chips?!"

"Oh come on Michael please I'll go alone you don't have to come with me just stay here and guard the sleeping beauty"

"Ashton you're a dumbass"

"Yeah, well that never stopped you"

"Fuck off"

"Love you too"

I slowly open my eyes and try to look around. Same room. Same bed. Same hospital. But better air, a lighter mood, a lovelier smell, and a happier atmosphere. But my head still hurts like fuck. I try to move my hand to touch it but I can't so I just groan in hope that a nurse is around.

"Ally? are you up?" I hear one of the two boys speak and I look to my left.

*flashback*

Bright lights and a beeping sound

"ALLY NO"

And we fall

*end of flashback*

"Are you okay?" I hear him again but I can't reply.

I try to move but my head is too heavy and I just close my eyes and let myself go cold again.

"When is she meant to wake up again?"

"I don't know but doctor Wilson should be here in a minute"

"Nurse" I mumble weakly.

"She's awake" A boy with bright blue hair says.

"Excuse me" the nurse moves around the boy and walks over to me.

"Hello ally how are you feeling?" She asks.

"I have to pee?" I mumble. She chuckles and unhooks my IV lines.

"Alright come with me" she says and grabs my arms slowly as if I'm going to break. "AH!" I wince when she touches my ribs.

"It's okay I'm sorry" she says.

"It's fine" I nod in pain. She walks me to a wheelchair at the end of the bed but my legs fail me and I topple over her and we both fall. The blue haired boy rushes over to us and lifts me off the nurse and sits me in the wheelchair.

"Thanks" I say.

"Yeah you're welcome" he says and holds a stare with me for ten seconds. I clear my throat and he looks away.

"Oh she's up" A tall curly haired boy with a bandana on his forehead and a tank top showing his very strong arms and black skinny ripped jeans walks in with a smile on his face. "Yeah she just woke up" The blue haired boy says.

"Sorry if I sound rude but who are you?" I ask and they both look to each other with knitted eyebrows and confused expressions. "Ally what are you talking about it's me" The blue haired boy says.

"Sorry I don't know who you are?"

"Ally stop joking it's me mi-" He doesn't get to finish the sentence before a man in a white coat and black glasses who I'm guessing is doctor Wilson interrupts him. "Hello I'm doctor Wilson can we have a word please?" He drags the blue haired boy and the other one out.

Michael's POV

"What do you mean she doesn't remember anything?" I say.

"I'm sorry but she had a temporary state of amnesia and you can't tell her anything about it or she'll collapse. Her brain won't be able to handle the trauma" The doctor says.

"But she can't just not know us like that there must he something left of us in her?" Ashton says.

"Yes of course and that's why I said temporary, she'll be able to remember you but it might take a few weeks, maybe even a couple of months" he says.

"I'm sorry this is too much for me" I say and turn to walk away but the man grabs my arm. "Listen kid, You can't tell her anything about it and you can't treat her like she's familiar and you can't show her old pictures before a week from now you have to keep it a secret or she will collapse."

Ally's POV

I feel something wet under my cheek and I lift myself up slowly. I look down and I see blood, right out of the white bandage wrapped around my head. I try to talk but it's much too painful. I drag myself across the tiny bed and press the blue button to call the nurse but that's the last thing I do before the cold hard floor smacks my face and my vision goes blank.
