(Joanne's Pov)

We were all seated on the dining table with tension thick in the air.
I was glaring at doctor Richard when Drake cleared his throat.

"Are you sure An...Joanne you want to know the truth?" Drake ask with worry.

I glared at Drake and he put his hands up in surrender instantly shutting his mouth

I scoffed "Talk old man"

"Joanne...as you know you have a weak heart due to the accident...umm well that wasn't true, you were born with a weak heart and your father hired me to become your personal doctor" the old man said.

"I know you don't remember any of your memories but...I treated you like my own daughter" he smiled.

"And still is" I chuckle.

"Melanie raised you and Drake together when your parents went to business trips, you grew close with Drake and he treated you like his small sister" doctor Richard said.

"But when you turn twelve your parents fired Marcus and warn him to stay away from you if not your father will hurt me and Drake" Melanie said with a sad face.

What? Daddy can't do that. He is a good man. He helps people atleast that's what mum told me.

"I know you don't believe that your father would do something like that but Joanne I was there when your mother was telling you about your childhood before the accident and she was feeding you with lies" doctor Richard said.

"No your lying....all of you're lying, my mother wouldn't lie to me" I whispered.

Doctor Richard sigh and gave me a folder.
" Look into this and if you want to ask something come meet me back at the hospital because I'm running late" he stood up and grabbed his bag before walking out the front door with Mrs Richard following behind.

Drake and I sat in silence but he spoke up...

"You know I could just tell you your whole childhood because we grew up together and...." he rubbed his neck.
Something I notice he does when he's nervous.

"And?"I pressed.

"And you were my girlfriend for the past years before the accident and we were deeply in love with each other" he said quickly.

I widened my eyes and choke on my saliva.

"What?!" I yelled.

"And I am still in love with you even though you don't remember me" he said with a sad look.

What the fu....

"When you were in the hospital after the accident I stayed up the whole night waiting for you to wake up, but it took you more than a week cause you were in a coma...I was sulking in my room one-day when I got a call from father telling me that you woke up" he said.

"He told me that it wasn't a good idea if I came to see you because something was wrong" he whispered.

"But me being me rushed to the hospital with a smile on my face hopeful to see you...to hug and kiss you again but I regretted going because my father told me that the severe concussion led for you to have
Amnesia "he scoffed.

I'm not believing what I'm hearing right now. Like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! Hot stuff was my boyfriend and he still loves me?

"Why are you grinning....your creeping me out" Drake said smiling.
