Subduction

Chapter 8

(Luke's P.O.V)

"Amnesia?! How can she get amnesia?!" My voice destroyed the silence in the plain hospital room.

This could not be happening. The love of my life is laying there in a damn hospital bed and now the doctors have informed me the she doesn't remember me. Amnesia. I wish it never existed. Then maybe this heartbreak of mine will be erased.

"She injured her head pretty badly in the accident. She's lucky she's even alive" The doctor said.

I shot him a frustrated look to try and tell him via my facial expressions that he needed to help me.

"How can I make her remember?" I spoke quietly as I looked down on the sleeping beauty that was lightly snoring in the bed. I couldn't help but smile but the happy grin quickly faded away as I realized that she won't remember me when she woke up. My eyes would meet hers but hers won't meet mine.

"Well.." The doctor started and grabbed the nearest chair to sit down indicating that this might take a while.

"..You can try to go through some old pictures of when you were together.."

Anger boulder inside me at his incorrect choice of words.

"We're still together" I cut him off, speaking each word clearly.

The doctor raised one eyebrow.

"She doesn't remember you"

His words stabbed me as if he pierced a dagger into my already fragile heart.

I decided to let it go and to continue the previous topic.

"Anything else I could try?"

"Something like taking her to the places you went together might be helpful as well"

I nodded understanding as I ran my tongue on my dried up lips.

"When will she be able to go home?"

"When she's fully recovered. I'd say approximately 1-2 weeks. Maybe only one and a half". The doctor assured me.

I nodded and thanked him.

Guess there's not really anything else to do than wait patiently.

You know that fraise that says: 'Time heals all wounds'?

I'm betting all of the hope that I have left that it will heal.

Before I exited the room I gave Aurora a gently kiss on her forehead and lightly whispered in her ear, begging for her to come back to me when she woke up again. That the only thing she would have on her mind would be me.

I dragged my feet along the cold floor as I left the hospital.

I threw the car keys on the kitchen desk and immediately walked over to the fridge to grab a beer. I know that alcohol won't fix my problems but it sure as hell would ease some of the pain.

I opened the bottle and wasted no time on taking a huge sip and walked upstairs to mine and Auroras once shared bedroom.

I could already feel the alcohol run through my veins and my head was spinning around like crazy.

I stumbled across the room and after some failed attempts I finally caught hold on a picture of me and Aurora.

This picture was taken on our anniversary. I'm holding her in my arms bridal style and I'm smiling down at her. She is laughing while throwing her head back.

Tears came to my eyes as I pressed the picture close my chest. I started whimpering and crying hysterically. The last thing I remember was me angrily throwing the empty beer bottle against the wall, shattering into smaller pieces, before I blacked out.
