MAD

"Why am I here?" I mumble to myself, looking around the hospital bedroom and then at the nurse. She was cute, or maybe I just have a thing for nurse outfits...or both.

"Alexander, do you know where you are?" She asked, looking down at the clipboard.

"Well seeing as you're a nurse, I'm guessing a hospital? Don't know why though." I scratched the back of my head nervously. "Do you?"

"You were found unconscious in a car that was upside down." The nurse looked at a piece of paper and them back at me "so what do you remember, about yourself or the accident?"

"My name is Alexander Thompson, I'm seventeen and an orphan from... from... somewhere. I have no recollection of a car crash, I didn't even realise I could drive."

My head hurts, I can't wrap it around this, I really don't remember anything. I stood up and walked over to the bathroom before looking at myself in the mirror, I don't even recognise my own reflection. Who am I...?

"I'm Alexander Thompson..." I mumble to myself, looking my reflection dead in the eye "I am Alex, I'm seventeen and I've forgotten pretty much everything about my life. Fucking brilliant." I chuckle to myself before walking back over to my bed and sitting down.

Apparently I had no belongings with me in the car, either, only my rucksack with my phone and keys. At least I'm not homeless, right?

I wasn't allowed home for a couple of days whilst the doctors assessed me, but now I'm finally at my flat and I've been reintroduced to my flat mate, Dave. He seems pretty normal, I think I only just moved in with him before the accident because he didn't seem to know me very well either.

Dave is about my height, has dark brown hair and brown eyes and he's got quite a strong accent from Yorkshire, he says he's only just moved away from his parents seeing as he's just turned eighteen.

We both go to the same school but he's in the year above me, he said he'll look out for me whilst I'm catching up in school and will give me a ride there and back, which is really nice of him seeing as I don't remember him at all.

He told me he has a girlfriend, Lola, who comes around a lot which I'm guessing was him telling me to keep earphones on me at all times. I was also told that I'm starting school again next week and to only go when I think I'm ready, they don't want me forcing myself to do anything yet.

I honestly just want to get back to a normal life, apparently I should remember everything in about two weeks, I've been reading things online, not that the Internet is reliable. I would wait until my memory is back before going to school but I've got no idea when that will be and I'd rather not just sit around at home all day.

Maybe if I try and live normally things will come back to me, do my every day routine and then everything will be natural for me, right?
