I opened my eyes and a tear slipped from the corner of my eye. I don't know why I'm crying, I don't know why I'm so hurt, I don't know what happened, I just don't know.

I look around and see the family and Katelyn sitting and standing around the room. I see some flowers and balloons that people left. I can feel that I have bruises all over my body along with small cuts from the broken glass. What really caught my eye were the bandages on my wrists.

Brandon takes my hand and looks at me worried, "Callie, baby, how are you feeling?"

"What happened?" I ignored his question, because I won't know how I'm feeling until I know what happened.

"You were in a car crash," Steph says, I knew that already.

"And you cut your wrists," Lena adds. I did? When?

"I... I don't... Remember...?" I managed to get out.

Brandon squeezes my hand tighter, "What's the last thing you remember before the crash?"

"Nothing... I remember nothing!" I start crying, they try calming me down but it doesn't work, "all I remember is I was crying and then I woke up in a hospital. I don't remember anything!"

Steph places her hand gently on my shoulder, "Callie, sweetheart, it's okay. Just be calm. Relax. I'm going to get your doctor, he's real nice. Just stay calm okay? Everything will be alright. I'll be right back with the doctor."

Steph leaves and Katelyn takes her place next to me. She looks from my face to my bandaged wrists and starts to silently cry.

"Please don't cry. Katelyn, don't cry," my own voice cracks but I don't want anyone hurting because of me.

"I love you, Callie...." she starts, "you're my best friend. I almost lost you."

I'm about to reply when Steph and my doctor walks in.

"Hi Callie," the doctor says with a smile, "I'm Dr. Sykes. How are you feeling?"

"Hurts," that was all I could get out.

"How is it, on a scale of 1-10?"

"Um, 8?"

He nods, "Okay, how much do you remember Callie?"

I try to think of more, but it's all blank, "Not much."

"Your family told me you went to see your friend. Wyatt. Does that help at all?"

It did help. Suddenly my memories came flooding back and they're drowning me. Oh, Wyatt. I remember everything. Everything, and I only forgot because I didn't want to remember.

Cliffhanger! Oops, sorry! Being honest, I have no idea where the whole Wyatt thing came from. He just hasn't been mentioned in this story in a while and, why not? And yes I did name the doctor after Oli Sykes! Haha my obsession over bands has become unhealthy! Well hope your day went well! I'll update soon! Love you all:)
