Breathe Again

I Don't Know What's Going On.

I wake up in a room and it's bright as fuck. I see a couple men and Derek. I try to talk but something is obstructing my ability to. I start banging my hand on some type of pole. I look around some more once my eyes adjust to the brightness and I realize I'm in a hospital. I bang on the bed railing to get someone's attention. Finally Derek comes over to me along with another guy, I assume is the Dr.

"Maggie? Nurse! Hey don't try to talk, you have a tube down your throat." A nurse comes rushing in . I man in a white coat comes in and shines a light in my eyes. "Hi, Maggie. You want that tube out huh?" He asks and I nod frantically. They nurse comes back in and lays a blue mesh like pad across my chest and begins taking out the tube. I immediately feel like throwing up as she pulls it out. I cough and it hurts due to my mouth being so dry. 

I start to speak but my voice is so raspy. Derek hands me a cup filled with ice chips. I eat a few and clear my throat once more. "What happened?" I ask my voice still a little raspy. "We were on our way to the airport and we got t-boned. You've been in a coma for a little over three weeks." A fucking coma? I look around. "Oh my god, Derek. What about Bailey? Who's with Bailey? Your mom or mine?" I frantically ask. Derek and the two men in the room all look at each other.

One comes towards me and grabs my hand. He has kind eyes and is very handsome. "Maggie, I'm sorry." He says. "For what? I don't know you. Derek were we heading to our honeymoon?" Derek's eye's go wide and he rubs his face. "No, I was taking you to the airport to go see your fiancé." My what? I'm already married.

"But you're my husband." He shakes his head and the other man comes into view, Simon. "I'll go get the Dr." He says leaving the room. "Do you know who that was?" The blue eyed man asks. "Yeah, that's Simon. He's a good friend." Simon and the Dr come back in. "So you don't remember much huh? What year is it?" He asks. "Look, I just got married to him a few days ago." I point to Derek and the Dr looks at him. "No, Maggie. That was fifteen years ago, We're divorced. For over a year now. You're engaged to Chris." He says pointing to the blue eyed man. Well I have good taste

I shake my head. "Wait, why are we divorced? What did I do? Where's Bailey? and my mom?" I ask. The man, Chris, looks at Derek. With a sigh Derek explains, "I cheated and third times a charm. You didn't do anything except maybe give me too many chances. Bailey is in California for college, she will be here tomorrow though. You mom died in a car crash years ago, I'm sorry." I don't know when I began to cry but I'm a mess right now.

Chris comes towards me, "Leave me alone! I don't know you! I don't fucking know you!" I shout and he jumps away from leaving the room. "Maggie, you were going to see him and tell him you wanted to marry him. Before all this you two had a fight. He thinks this is all his fault." Derek explains. "Well I'm sorry but I don't know what's going on. Last thing I remember was we had just got married and we were headed to out honeymoon." I shout slightly. "Well ironically enough we got into an accident on our way to our honeymoon as well. Only difference is I lost my memory momentarily. Maggie a lot has happened since that day. We have fifteen year old twins, Alaina and Elijah." 

This is all way too much. I'm sure this Chris guy is alright and all but I'm married to Derek. I don't have fucking twins. Chris walk s back in the room, "I'm gonna head back to Boston. This is what she wanted Derek, You. Keep me updated, I guess." I look around as it now feels awkward in here and I notice my hand. "Hey wait," I say and Chris turns around a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.  I slide off the ring, "This must belong to you then." I say holding it out to him. He hangs his head and saunters over to me. He slowly takes it.

"Come on, Maggie. Your memory will come back and you will remember how much you love him." Derek says. Why is he pushing me onto this guy? I'm in love with him, there is no once else for me but him. "Memory or no memory Derek, I love you not him." Derek says and looks at Chris. "Bro, I'm sorry. Her memory will come back. She'll remember you. It took me a bit. Stick with her man." Chris shakes his head and leaves. Well if he is who Derek says he is, he obviously doesn't love me very much.
