"Oh my gosh he's waking up... I... I NEED A DOCTOR... I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW," The woman shouts for a doctor down the hall.
"What's the matter miss," a doctor says as he walks in the door of the hospital room.
"I... I think he's waking up... My son is waking up," the woman gets so happy she almost cry's.
"Ok... ok you'll need to wait until he is conscious for responsive actions... I'll be back 15 to cheek up, just keep talking to him, ok," the doctor walks out the door and leaves Salem and his mum in the room
"It's ok hon. I'm here no one will ever hurt you again I promise." She says holding his hand.

Fifteen minutes goes by and Salem has only just started mumbling. The doctor walks in with coffee in one Hand and some patient notes in the other.
"Now," he says "what's your name son?" He asks already knowing Salem's name.
"I-I... I," Salem stutters. "F-f... fucking stop." His body hovers up as he pushes the doctor to the window, his legs travel from the bed to the floor. "Y... You shouldn't be Matthews." Salem laughs at his own words or even the look on the doctors face.
"Salem I just need to know your name." The doctor stays calm as his body raises from the window seal.
"I don't know who I am Matthews, you made me forget." Salem walks to the doctor. "I don't know who I am, you made me forget," he repeats.
"Hon... calm down no one is going to hurt you here." His mum walks up behind him and grabs Salems arm.
"Don't touch me you freak." Salem rips his hand out of his mums grip. Still laughing.
"Buddy all we need to know is your name then we all will leave you alone," the doctor says surrendering with his hands in the air.
"I don't know who I am." Salem slips down the wall and curls up into a ball. "Who am I, who am I, who am I," he repeats getting faster and louder each time he said it. "Who am I, Who am I."
