I wake up in corbyns arms. I look at the time. It's 4:00 in the morning. I can't sleep because I keep thinking about Daniel. Will he ever get his memory back? What if he forgets about me forever? I carefully slip out of corbyns arms so he doesn't wake up. He moves a little. I pause to see if I woke him up. He's sound asleep. I don't want to wake him up because he hasn't slept in a long time. Neither of us in the house have. I quietly walk out of the room. I use the bathroom first. When I'm done, I look at myself in the mirror. My hair is a mess. I straitened it out with my fingers. I have dark circles under my eyes. Great. I turn off the light and walk out I the bathroom. As I'm about to go back to bed, I pass Daniel room. I really wanna see him. I look in his room. He's still asleep. He looks so peaceful. I quietly walk in. I carefully sit on his bed so I don't wake him up. I stroke his hair as he stays asleep. I smile.
After I stroke his hair a few more times, he starts to move and he starts breathing heavy like he's being chased or he's scared. I think he's having a bad dream. I see a tear fall down his face. "No! No!" He cried. He is having a bad dream. "Daniel." I said touching his arm. He continues to cry. "Daniel." I said shaking him. He opens his eyes. He looks at me and sits up. He engulfed me in a hug. He cries. I rub his back. "Your okay. Your okay." I said sympathetically. He won't let go of me. He's shaking. "Were you having a bad dream?" I asked. I feel him nod. He lets go of me and I look him in the eyes. I wipe his tears. "It's okay. I'm here." I said. He's still shaking. He's not crying anymore. Uhhh I feel so bad for him. I put my hand on his shoulder and push him a little intending for him to lay down. "Get some sleep, okay?" I said. He lays down and nods. I stand up about to walk out when I feel him grab my hand. "Can you stay with me." He said in a quiet, soft voice. I turn around as he releases my hand. "Sure." I said. I get into bed with him. I move the blanket so it's covering Daniel more than me. I just want him to be warm. I lay on my side propping my head up against my hand. Daniel looks up at me. He's still shaking. I wonder what he was dreaming about that he's so scared of. I rub his head. He closes his eyes. His skin is so soft and smooth. Almost like a babies. I hear him breathing. I smile. He opens his eyes. "Riley." He said. "Yeah?" I asked. It's kinda weird hearing him talk. Well, not weird just...I haven't heard him talk since that night, besides him yelling at everyone to get away from him. "I remember." He said. WHAT?! "You remember me?" I asked trying to stay calm and not seem too excited. "No." He said. Darn it!! "I remember my mom and dad hugging me before I went onstage. I remember grabbing a microphone and walking out onstage. And I remember all these girls screaming for me. That was probably the best moment of my life." Daniel said. I smile. "So you remember your mom and dad?" I asked. He nods. "And you remember being a singer?" I asked. He nods. "What about the boys? Do you remember them?" I asked. Daniel shakes his head. "I was onstage by myself in a tv show called..." He said trying to think of it. "American idol." I said. "Yeah. That." He said. I sigh. "Is that what you were dreaming of?" I asked. "I was dreaming of getting into a car accident. You were there. You were in the accident too. And we were both in the hospital together." Daniel said. OH MY GOD!! "Daniel! That wasn't a dream! That's how we met!" I said happily. "Really?" He asked. I nod. "You don't remover ME thorough?" I asked. He shakes his head. I wish he remembered me. "Why Don't you get some sleep?" I said rubbing his head again. He closes his eyes. I bet he'll temper me tomorrow. I have something planned.
As soon as Daniel falls asleep, I lay down next to him. Our faces are so close that I feel his breath on my face. I close my eyes. It's kinda soothing. I fall asleep right away.
