Forty Two

Ashton

"Wow, so much love thank you but uh who are you all?"

I saw Jake's smile fall as did everyone else's including mine. Does Calum really not know who we are?

"B-babe i-it's me Jake you're fiance." Jake stuttered

Calum looked him with a very confused facial expression.

"But you're a guy?"

Oh shit.

"Y-yeah and we're engaged."

Calum shook his head.

"No, I'm not gay." Calum stated

Jake looked like he had his heart ripped out, he quietly left the room. I decided to leave Calum too figure out who everyone was while I followed Jake. I found him in the smokers area, sitting with a cigarette in his hand.

"You okay mate?" I asked even though I knew he wasnt

"He doesn't know who I am. Do you know how much that hurts." He cried

"I understand h-"

"No you dont, you weren't engaged to him, you didnt fall in love with him."

Jake was really upset and it clearly showed. But I did understand how he felt, Calum is one of my best friends and he doesn't know who I am. So many years of friendship forgotten, so yeah I'm hurting too, same as Luke, Michael and Calums family. Jake isn't the only one who's hurting because of this. I left Jake to himself and walked back into Calums room where everyone was as well as a doctor.

"So how soon will he get his memory back." I heard his sister ask

"I cant give you a definite answer, it may take a month or longer." The doctor replied as she left the room

Joy, Calums mum, was crying but she was trying to keep it together for Calum.

"So let me get this straight. I was in a car accident that gave me amnesia. I'm in a band called 5 seconds of summer and I'm supposedly gay?" Calum spoke

We all nodded as did Calum. He was trying to process what he was being told.

5 days later

With Calum finally being released from hospital, Jake has been stressed out to the max, since Calum cant remember any of his past with him. And because of that the wedding has been canceled. I'm worried about Jake, hes not doing well and by that I mean hes drinking alot. I know hes hurting but he cant keep doing this. Its not helping Calum at all. Which Calum is slowly getting his memory back, he remembers everyone else just not Jake. He says Jake looks familiar but he just cant remember, Calum finally realized he was gay when he started flirting with me, that was a funny day and it only happened two days ago. I kindly told him I wasnt gay and I had a girlfriend and three kids. Who are back in Australia and I miss them so much. But anyways Michael, Luke and I have been trying to help Calum remember his time with Jake, it's a slow process but its something.

"And this is when you first met Lily." Michael said as he showed Calum a picture of Jake,Him and their dog

Calum looked at the picture carefully and smiled.

"We look happy" he said

"Well yeah you two are like a thing." Luke spoke

Just as Calum was about to say something Jake stumble in, he looked at us, didn't say a word, just smiled but not a happy smile, it was more like a 'I dont give a fuck' kind of smile. Calum looked at him, his eyes searching for some kind of clue to who he was. His eyes trailed back to the picture he was holding, then back up at Jake. Calum then stood up and walked over to Jake who now looked confused.

Jake

I froze when Calum walked up to me. I was a little dizzy probably from all the alcohol I had just drank. I had no idea what he was doing and neither did the other as they looked equally confused. Calum looked into my eyes, and I looked into his. I will admit I got lost in his chocolate brown eyes. I didn't know what was happening but I guess i was about to find out. Calums hand caressed my cheek, my heart raced and I thought it was take off right out of my chest. He leaned in and placed his lips on mine. It took me a second to react but I found myself kissing back. After what seemed like forever he pulled away smiling. I stood there dumbfounded. He kissed me.

"Hey babe." He said cooly

My eyes widen. Did he just call me babe? Am I dreaming?

"W-what d-did y-you say?" I stuttered

"I said hey babe." He repeated

"Do you remember me?"

Calum just nodded and I couldn't help the grin appearing on my face. I hugged Calum so tight. He remembers me. I honestly cant be happier. I heard Cheers from the boys. They were happy Calum remembered me. I was more than happy. I have my baby back.
