Jacob's POV
I was so scared. How could she not remember? It's crazy. She looked so confused, just sitting there dazed and staring off into space.
"Abi."
"Yes?"
"Abi"
All I wanted to do was sit here and say her name. I wanted to hold her and tell her how much I loved her. I wish I could go back in time so none of this would have ever happened.
"I love you."
"I love you too?"
Why did that sound like a question? She doesn't remember.
I'm so stupid. This was all my fault. You bastard. How could you do this?
The doctor came in and asked how she was doing. I couldn't work up the courage to say anything. He pulled me outside to share some more information.
"Mr. Jacob, I'm afraid she is going to stay here for another week or two. Are you sure she doesn't have anybody else?"
"Yeah I'm sure. Her parents are dead and she has been in and out of the system. I'm the closest person she has."
"Well we she remembers who you are and we can try to perform a surgery to save more memory. The only problem with the surgery is it could be the exact opposite."
"Can I have some time to think about this?"
"Of course."
When I returned to the room Abi was asleep again. I sat there and looked at her, watching her chest rise and lower with every single breath she took. After a while I couldn't bear to look anymore. I turned and faced the window as tears started to stream down my face. It was my fault and I knew it.
