I wake up with a shock. There's no one in the room. I try to sit up straight but the weight on my shoulders pull my back down.

I try to swallow but my throat hurts. I need some water.

I look to my left to see a jug and plastic cup.

I try to reach for the glass but end up dropping a box.

I try to pick it up but I can't. My stomach hurts.

The door is pushed open, to reveal the same woman. My mum.

I try to sit back but I end up wincing in pain.

She rushes towards me and helps me sit back.

'Hey darling' she smiles but it was fake 'you feeling better than before?'

'Yeah, I think so' I say quietly.

She looks down towards the box I dropped. The contents have scattered across the glass floor.

'Im sorry...I just needed some water, my throats dry' I rush my words.

'No dear it's fine' she says calmly, I thought she would get angry 'you should have just called me to give you some water'

She bends down to pick the box up.

'Sorry' I say.

She looks at me, silence fills the room.

A few seconds later...

'Honey do you know who I am?' She asks with pleading eyes.

I look into her eyes deeply and answer 'now I do'

She sighs in relief and reaches towards me for a hug.

We both just sit there crying. Her shirt soaking with my tears. Her tears soaking the bed sheets.

'Mum please don't cry' I say. I cough slightly.

'Im sorry' she tries to smile 'let me quickly get you some water' she reaches out for the jug, pouring some water into the paper cup. Instead of handing me the glass she feeds me the water. Pouring into my mouth slowly.

The cold water hits my throat soothing it instantly.

'When will I be able to go home?' I ask her.

'In a few days hopefully' she says.

The nurse walks in with a pen and clipboard.

'I need to check your blood pressure and heartbeat if that's okay with you dear?'

I nod for a answer, which she checks my heartbeat, the cold metal tickles my stomach making me giggle. The nurse smiles at my reaction. 'That always happens' she says with a grin.

She then checks my pulse and blood pressure.

'Everythings good' she tells me and my mum 'she'll remember things slowly, also the boy who was in the accident with you is awake and he's asking for you'

I look at her confused.

'What boy?' I ask.

The nurse starts talking again 'Harry, Mr Harry Styles' she reads from her clipboard 'he claims to be your boyfriend'

I have a boyfriend? Is he cute? Wait what...

'Mum I have a boyfriend?' I ask.

'Yes, it's been about two weeks, you didn't tell me but your friends have told me a few things here and there' she smiles sadly.

'Oh umm I don't know, I don't think I want to see anyone else yet, I hope you understand' I tell the nurse.

'Its fine, just get some rest' she smiles.

She leaves the room.

'Mum, I'm a bit hungry' I yawn.

'Okay, I'll get you something to eat. You've been out for days' she also leaves the room leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Is my boyfriend cute? Nerdy? What did the nurse say his name was...Larry? No, wait...Harry!

All of a sudden the door slams open making me jump, revealing a dark figure.

He rushes towards me.

'Megan!! Are you okay?' He asks.

He has a cut near his eyebrow and lip. There is also a big purple bruise on his cheek.

I stare at him confused.

He waits for an answer but instead he walks closer to me. He throws his arms forward trying to give him a hug. But I scream. I scream as loud as I can. I don't know who he is.

My mum barges into my room. She stares at the guy who was standing near me.

'Niall wait' she says.

'Niall? Who's Niall?' I ask scared.

He looks at me confused.

'Megan it's me your brother! Niall!' He shouts.

I try to remember but just like last time my head starts to sting.

'Niall, she's lost her memory because of the accident' she tries to tell him.

He looks at me with sorrow then looks away.

He pushes past her and out into the hospital corridors.

'Darling it's okay' she says soothingly.

She hugs me tight and kisses my forehead.

'You should get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up' she tells me.

I nod in response and close my eyes.

Sleep takes over my paralysed body...
