Remember

5. Knowing myself

Here I am - Camp rock

************************************

-Joey's POV

I opened my eyes to stare at the same ceiling as before. I don't know what medicine was given to me but it helped me to sleep well and get away from those weird people who were calling themselves my parents. Well, perhaps they are telling the truth but.. I don't remember anything! In fact since I woke up I've been wondering who am I.

As my mind was flooded with various questions, the doctor and the two strangers who earlier claimed to be my parents walked into the room.

"If you are feeling alright dear, we have something to tell you." the doctor said kindly.

"Yeah.. please go ahead." I reply nervously.

"So.. first of all I'm Dr. Shane and you are here because you had an accident. As you might have already noticed, you have lost your memory," he explains slowly. I just nod my head unable to voice out my jumbled thoughts. "We are hopeful that you will recover but it might take some time. Do you understand?" he asks unsurely.

"Yes.. yes I do."

"Well, your name is Joey Mcwell and you are 17 years old. You are a student at Cliffton High Academy where you had to repeat a year. That's why you are the oldest in your form." It was weird to hear my own introduction from a doctor.

"Why did I had to repeat?" I asked curiously.

"You got into a fight with the administration of the school regarding a certain party that you badly wanted to throw in the campus." One of the two strangers explained briefly.

"Ohh.." I gulp. Was I a rebel? "A-and you are?" I asked the man although I already guessed the answer.

"These are your parents, Rose and Ken Mcwell," the doctor replied when he saw thier pained expressions. I looked in their eyes for the first time today and they give me a small smile.

"We will try our best to help you to recover son. And please always keep in mind that we love you a lot and we don't want to lose you," they said. I couldn't help but smile at their kind words.

"You also have a small sister of 14 years old. Her name is Katie," the doctor added.

"Where is she?" I asked suddenly eager to meet her.

"She is at home dear. She was also insisting on meeting you but as you are being discharged today, we thought that you could meet her over there," Rose, I mean Mom, explained.

"Okay.. so let's complete the formalities for your discharge," the doctor concluded and left with Ken, alias Dad.

***

Mom and Dad directed me towards a black, sleek BMW car and I sat onto the backseat. Throughout the drive, they kept telling me about their jobs, career, my lifestyle and many more things about myself.

After some minutes, the car pulled through a big double metallic gate and a majestic mansion came in view. The alley that lead to it was covered in gravestone and on both sides there were tall and elegant trees. In front of the house was a small roundabout which consisted of a small fountain in the middle. I can't tear my eyes from the castle like mansion which from onwards would be my home.

As soon as I passed the front door, a little blonde girl came running down the stairs. Perhaps it's Katie.. She was really pretty with a cute round face and doll like eyes which were shining excitedly at the sight of me. Her straight short blonde hair flew adoringly around her face as she ran towards me.

She caught me completely off guard by running into my arms and hugging me tightly. I must say that for a 14 year old kid she seemed quite mature. She was shorter than me by about 5-10 inches. Automatically, my arms wrapped around her slim and small figure. I think that I already like her...
