  Look, he's awake!

(What?! I was asleep? Again?)

  Hey... How do you feel?

Me :
   Ashley?

Ashley :
   Yes, it's me.

Me :
   Where are we?

Ashley :
   We are at the hospital. I know you hate being here, but we had no choice... Luckily, Aiden knows some people here so they can stay quiet about you "trip" here. You should thank me!

Me :
   Hum, if I listened to you each time you told me to thank you, I would end up by thinking you are my lucky star. But actually you're nothing. What a pity.

I see Ashley's face is distorted, she's starting to open her mouth, to yell at me, again... But it was just a joke, do it has always been like that? Even Aiden thinks it's funny, as soon as we catch ourselves's eye, we can't help bursting into laughter!

Aiden :
   That's a good one haha, well done!

Ashley :
   NO, NO, NO, IT'S NOT FUNNY AT ALL!

Me :
   Seriously? Just for a joke? You're always on the defensive, that hacks me off. For real. I'd rather being with Aiden instead of you, even though I don't know him... He is not annoying like you are.

I didn't want to offend her but she's irritating and I hate that kind of people...

Ashley :
   Well... Anyway! We were too long, you lost a lot of blood... Do you realize that you could be dead now?!

Me :
   Whose fault is it?

Aiden :
   It's nobody's fault! We had no choice but to bring you there, it was getting too serious.

Me :
   Doesn't matter, now that I am here... What's next?

Aiden :
   Ahem... Actually you need to stay here for three weeks.

(Eh? No, lol. Never!)

Ashley :
   And don't try to escape, don't make your injuries more serious.

Me :
   I lost my memory... I've been kidnapped, I don't even know how and why, I escaped but I've been shot, and now I'm here... I feel like I am living a Bonnie and Clyde life... As though I hadn't got anything else to do! Besides I don't even have a Bonnie!

She laughs.

Ashley :
   First of all, be glad you're alive now! Secondly, at the beginning you were alone... Now I'm with you, Aiden is with us, so we'll help you to remember everything you forgot. Thirdly who said you don't have a Bonnie? Maybe you have your own Bonnie and she's waiting for you to notice her, but you don't. Because you're blind or you noticed her but you don't want to expose her, or else finally you're just dumb...
