Last Night

Recovery?

(Three weeks later)

LANI'S POV

I'm at Brad's house, well, technically The Vamps house. I can't believe I'm here!! But Brad insisted I come home with him, because he keeps saying we're together.

I sit on the couch and Brad sits at the table. He looks so sad, but I can't exactly understand why.

"Brad, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?? I almost lost you. And I feel like I have now, because you don't remember us. What we have. You still think you're just a fan." He breaks down again. I don't know what to do, so I just leave the room. He seems so miserable about our supposed 'relationship', but I honestly don't know what he's talking about. 

I go into James' room. He's sitting on his bed. 

"Hey Lans."

"Hey." 

We sit in silence for a few minutes which seems like an eternity, when James makes a face that displays frustration and upset.

"Lani you're breaking my heart."

"w-.....how?"

He tries to hold back tears as he speaks.

"Because you were my best friend. I always talked to you about stuff, and I knew I could trust you. But that's gone, maybe forever. It's like the real you is gone. Like you speak another language or something. I miss you." 

He seems so vulnerable and upset, so I go over and pull him into a hug. He hugs me tighter, as if desperate to get me back. I look into his beautiful glistening eyes filled with tears and say 

"It's gonna be ok. Maybe one day I'll remember."

"I really hope so. But I don't know. I just don't think it can happen." I reassuringly squeeze his hand and leave the room.

(A few days later)

I sit at the table at the house. Brad walks over with his phone. 

"Hey Lani, look at this."

 I think he's trying to trigger my memory, he's been doing all sorts of things to see what will happen. Apparently the doctors said I could get some memories back from certain triggers.
He shows me a photo with him in it, and.....me. Wait, what? where was that? I bought that outfit months ago but I've never worn it......how is it in the picture?

"When was this?" He sighs in disappointment and takes the phone away.

 
"Forget it. This is never gonna work," he mumbles to himself angrily.

I sit at the table alone for a while, as Brad has left the room. My phone starts ringing and I see the caller ID is my mum. The whole family knows about the accident and mum was going to come over, but it was too much money and Brad promised to take care of me.

"Mum! Hi."

"Oh honey. It's so good to hear your voice. How are you?"

"I'm ok. I'm still trying to work on the memory thing but nothing has worked yet......Brad is really trying."

I can hear her trying to hold back from crying.

"Well I'm so glad that he is helping you, that means the world to us. I can't thank him enough, he has saved you." 

"I know mum. He's so kind to me, I just wish I could remember because he's so upset about it. So are the other boys."

"Of course, you've lost some of the best memories with them! they would be destroyed! Anyway honey I'm not trying to get angry, I have good news. Brad was so kind and he has offered to pay for our flight over. We are coming to visit in two weeks!!" I gasp in shock.

"WHAAAAT?? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Oh my God mum that's amazing!!!! I can't wait, I miss you so much!!!"

"I miss you too, sweetie. Now I have to go because I'm at work right now but I just wanted to all and tell you, I didn't want to be too last-minute."

"Of course! Ok, I love you mum, bye."

"I love you too. Bye."

My mum is coming to England!! This is amazing.
