Amnesia

The doctors walks into the waiting room once again, "He's awake.." He trails off.

"And?" Cleo says.

"Follow me." Is all the doctor says before waving his hand and having the five of them follow him to Ashton's room. He opens the doors for the five teens and when they walk through the door Ashton's eyes light up.

"Hey guys!" He smiles.

*Ashton's POV*

My body was in pain and my head ached, but the sight of my friends entering the room made it all better. Although there was two girls I didn't quite recognize.

"Ashton." The brunette smiles rushing to my bedside pulling me into a hug, I groan in pain making her pull away with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."

"It's fine." I smile politely, "Um sorry for being so straight forward, but who are you?"

The look of pain and confusion that takes over the girls face absolutely kills me and suddenly I wish I knew her name for her sake. "A-Ashton. It's me, Jenna."

I shake my head slowly, "I'm sorry.."

"Ashton, do you remember them?" The doctor asks me while Jenna steps back from me.

I look at my four band mates and nod, "Yeah, they're my band mates, Luke, Calum and Mikey."

"And her?" The doctor questions pointing to the blonde.

"No.. Should I?" I ask.

"Ashton.. It's me, Cleo." The blonde tries wearing the same look that Jenna had.

"Okay, wait, what's going on? Why don't I remember them, but they remember me?" I ask feeling frustrated with myself.

"Ashton, what is the last thing you remember?" Luke asks.

"Um, It's New Year's Eve isn't it?" As the words leave my mouth a frown takes over everyone's face.

"What year do you think it is?" Calum's asks.

"2014?" I say not really sure anymore of anything.

"Oh god." The blonde girl gasps.

"Ashton, it's march of 2015." The doctor tells me, but it can't be true.

I remember the boys and I getting ready for a party that we were supposed to go to.

"This is Cleo and Jenna, you met Cleo last year on New Years and you met Jenna about a month ago." Luke explains.

"W-what? How? Why don't I remember?" I begin asking frantically, anxiety was beginning to build up in my chest. How could I forget the past year of my life!?

"There was an accident-" The brunette, Jenna I think, starts, but she is cut off by the blonde, Cleo right?

"We were out on a date and you didn't look both ways before crossing the street.." I put two and two together. God, I should really start looking both ways.

I'm about to speak when The guys and Jenna start whispering before saying, "Cleo, hallway. Now."

"I'll be right back." She smiles before following Jenna and the guys out to the hall.

"What the fuck?" Jenna curses the moment they close the door to Ashton's room.

"What?" Cleo questions, pretending she doesn't know why they're mad, but it's obvious because she lied. It was dumb and risky, but she wanted Ashton back and this was her chance.

"You and Ashton were not on a date, Ashton hates you." Jenna snaps, glaring at the girl.

"Ashton doesn't remember he hates me, Ashton doesn't remember our break up. Come on guys." She says looking to the three boys. "You know how happy Ashton was with me-"

"And how miserable he was when you left." Jenna cuts in.

"But he doesn't remember that. We can get back together and be happy again!" Cleo cheers thinking her idea was a great one.

"I don't know, Cleo." Luke says, "What about the fans?"

"We'll make up an excuse. Just give me a chance to win him back, please, you want the old Ashton back right?" She questions knowing that the three of them would do anything to see Ashton happy again.

"Yeah but-"

"This will work I swear!"Cleo smiles before running back into the room.

"Guys, what the hell?" Jenna protests.

"Jenna-" Luke warns,

"You're falling for that bullshit? She's just gonna hurt him again." Jenna tries to reason with them hoping they see the flaws in this whole situation.

"Jenna, you didn't know Ashton when he was with Cleo. He was the happiest he's ever been, and if we can get that back for him then why not?" Michael explains.

"Ashton was fine with just the four of us, he was forgetting Cleo." Part of Jenna knows she's lying to herself, but she just doesn't want Cleo back in Ashton's life and she doesn't know why.

Maybe for the sake of her best friend, maybe because Jenna gets a bad feeling about Cleo's intentions or maybe.. She's afraid if Cleo is back, Ashton won't need Jenna anymore.

"Jenna, just give it a chance.." Luke pleas. With that Michael and Luke walk back into the room leaving a quiet Calum and an upset Jenna.

"You're awfully quiet." Jenna mutters to Calum.

"I don't agree with this either.."

"Why not? Don't you want happy Ashton back?" Jenna rolls her eyes walking down the hall not wanting to be in the same room as Cleo anymore.

Calum follows, "Sure he was happy with Cleo, but he was genuine with you. I think he was infatuated with Cleo's looks, but you guys had a real friendship before you-" Calum stops himself before finishing was he was going to say.

"Before i what?" Jenna prompts.

"Nothing." Calum shakes his head rushing down the hall, "Calum." Jenna warns following him now.

"Tell me."

"No." Calum refuses.

"Calum tell me damnit before I slap you up the head with my skateboard." Jenna threatens.

"Fine!" He takes a breath. "Before you gained feelings for him."

"What?" Jenna laughs. "Gained feelings? Me? For Ashton?" Jenna begins laughing hysterically before she actually thinks about it.

The thought of Cleo and Ashton made her skin crawl. And she never cried over losing a friend until Ashton turned on her. She never trusted someone so easily and of course anyone could see Ashton was attractive.

"See." Calum smiles.

"What the hell!? When did this happen?!" Jenna freaks out.

Suddenly her chest felt tight restricting her from breathing, she couldn't have feelings for Ashton. Not only would that ruin their friendship, but it'll ruin her to see Ashton and Cleo together. Besides Ashton would never feel the same.

"Hey, Jen, chill out. It's perfectly normal, everyone falls for their best friend at one point or another." Calum's words didn't calm her.

Nothing could, grabbing her skateboard she tells Calum, "I gotta go, tell Ashton I'll visit him later. Actually no, he probably won't care. Just, tell the guys to keep me updated." She rushes running out of the hospital before Calum could reply.
