"Who are you?"

My breath hitched. My hands trembled. My eyes stinged and my nose twitched. I felt my chest not being able to move fluently as I turned around, my hair on my neck standing. 

I chuckled and laughed. "Ace, now is not the time to be joking." 

He blinked at me then glanced around. "Where am I? Why am I in a hospital?"

He is just kidding. God I hate him and his childish ways sometimes. "You got shot and your in the hospital. Now stop playing, it isn't funny."

"Shot? Why did I get shot? Where's Jason! Who the fuck are you?" He snapped harshly.

My lip quivered as I watched him. He showed no hints of jokes, of kidding. I wanted him to reach out and hug me and say, 'Baby I am just kidding.'

"I asked you a question. Who. The. Fuck. Are. YOU!"

Tears rolled down my cheeks and Ace eye's flickered to them. He scoffed. "Why the fuck are you crying? God get the fuck out of here!"

i swallowed and pulled out my phone. I dialed Jason number and he picked up.

"Hello? Dawn what's up. Is he ok?"

I sniffed, Ace watching me with his cold eyes. "J-Jason..."

"Dawn what's wrong?"

"He lost his memory of me."

Ace POV:

My head was pounding and to top it off I felt numb. I peeled my eyes open to see a Red hair girl with Freckles crying. 


"Ace wake up please." She sniffed. "I'm struggling here without you! You told me if I die your going to snatch my soul and kill me yourself and I would do the same if you die on me. Please wake up. I am sorry. I am s-so sorry. I-"

I moved my arms, she was laying on and she gasped. She raised her head and looked at me her eyes glistening and green. Her lips stretched out into a smiled as she raised up to kiss me. I was shocked as she kissed me over and over and I felt something in the pit of my stomach surfaced slowly.

"Ace? Baby Are you ok?" She asked sniffing. She left my side and starting searching for something.

"Who are you?" I asked, my throat slightly dry. I watched as she stiffened. She didn't say anything for a while making me suspicious. She turned around and chuckled. She laughed and my heart skipped a beat. Am I sick?

"Ace, Now is not the time to be joking."

Joking? I don't joke.

I looked around and recognized my surrounds at a hospital. "Where am I? Why am I in a Hospital?" 

Her rosy red lips quivered and her red hair was in a braid. Her cheeks was covered in freckles and she was absolutely stunning. Something about her was familiar yet I couldn't put my mind on where I saw her before. My head starting hurting and I clenched my teeth.

My head snapped back to face the girl as she spoke. "You got shot and your in the hospital. Now stop playing, its not funny."

I was starting to get agitated. "Shot? Why did I get shot? Where's Jason! Who the fuck are you?"

She flinched and i felt no remorse. Her lips trembled and i had this urge to pull her and hug her but I ignored it.

I rolled my eyes when she didn't answer. My head was pounding and i needed some painkillers. 

"I asked you a question. Who. The. Fuck. Are. YOU!" i snapped feeling my body shake with rage. When i ask a question i need a answer!

When i saw her crying i scoffed. She is weak and i hate weak people. Especially weak girls.

"Why the fuck are you crying? God get the fuck out of here!"

She didn't move and sniffed, reaching behind her. I froze thinking she was about to pull out a gun on me, but was confused when she pulled out a phone instead. She starting doing something and i heard a ringing.

I could hear someone on the other side of the line. But i couldn't make out what that person was saying.

"J-jason..."

She's calling jason? How the fuck does she know him? My eyes flickered to her hands and i saw a ring. What the fuck happened to zara?!

"He lost memory of me." She whispered. Do i know Her? 

She nodded and soon hung up. She looked back at me and was about to say something when a doctor walked in.

"Mrs. Elvanel, how are you are you-"

He turned to me, but my eyes stayed locked on the girl. Mrs. Elvanel? Is she married to my father? ugh.

"Oh Ace your awake!" His cheery voice was bothering me. "Let's check up on you yeah?"

"Whatever." I grumbled. He pressed his fingers on my wrist and i flinched. He looked at me but then checked Machines and did some note taking.

"Do you know why your here?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Any headaches? Memory of why your here?"

"Of course i have fucking headaches. what the fuck happened to  me?"

"Sir calm down, you got shot in the head. You've been in a coma for 4 and a half months now. I will get you some pain killers but can i ask you a question?"

'"You just did." I snapped. The doctor rolled his eyes but quickly turned to the girl.

"Does he?"

She shook her head, not looking at me. Her hands flew to her stomach then she ripped them off. "I think i'm going to be sick." She whispered. She flew out the room and left me in there wondering what the fuck is going on.'

Memory. Something valuable yet timed in this world. People say pictures last  longer but do they really? They could get ripped, burned, lost. Memories could get lost as well. You can't keep nothing forever.

Jason walked in, Jazmine, And Zara trailing behind him. The girl, who i have not learned the name of yet, stood up and hugged Zara and Jazmine. Who the fuck is she?

"Ace! Your looking....Good." I rolled my eyes at jason, my head pounding.

"How did i get here?" I asked.

They glanced at one another then at the girl. "I asked a question."

"Ace-"

"Answer me!"

Jason sighed and Zara touched his shoulders. "Ace, i'm pregnant." She whispered, smiling at me. I glanced at her stomach and indeed saw a bump. "What happened to Sincere?"

"What i can't have another baby without something happening to Sincere?" She asked, her head tilted and her brow raised. Jazmine chuckled and i glanced at her. Her skin looks pale and she looks thin.

"What happened to you?"

"Ace. what's the last thing you remember?" Jazmine asked. Her hands was interlocked with Zara's.

I shrugged and thought about it. "That fat pig owned us money. I remember going to his house and he said he'll have it within a month. After a month we decided to go to his Diner, but we never did."

"Shit." Jason mumbled. 

I glared at him. "What? What happened?"

"That was 2 months before we went to the dinner." Jazmine whispered. She glanced at the red head who face was rosy, her eyes puffy and swollen and her lips red from chewing. Her hands kept twisting that god damn ring and every time i looked at her she made my head pound!

"You don't remember anything? Anything after that?" Jazmine pleaded. I shook my head getting extremely annoyed by there behavior. 

"Will someone just tell me what the fuck is going on?!"
