Unexpected

21: Come with Me

"Come to Massachusetts with me," he said cupping my face.

"I really want to say yes-"

"But," he cut in rolling his eyes.

"But I have no ID on me, no clothes, and none of my medication," I said with sorry eyes. Chris pouted and hugged me as if I just told him that a litter of puppies just lost their mom. I pulled us apart and cupped his face. "But, I can always come tomorrow?" I asked smiling eagerly. Chris immediately smiled and hugged me and started spinning us, which caused some people to come by us and ask for photos. After the small group thanked us individually, I began walking Chris all the way to TSA  before we had to say goodbye.

"Promise me you'll come...I'll pay for your ticket!" he whispered making me giggle.

"Even if I say no I bet once I turn around you would've already booked it, but I promise. These past three weeks have been a nightmare!" I said into his chest. He tightened our hug. After a minute I glanced up at the big digital clock that brightly showed that it was 7:15 making me gasp. "You're gonna be late!" I said breaking us apart.

"I'll rebook it," he whined.

"Babe! You said that Shanna was going to wait for you until you got there! With Dodger!" 

"I love that you got your memory back but come on!" he laughed. "But fiiiiiine, I'll go," he pouted.

"I'll be there before you know it!" I said looking into his eyes.

"I'll know exactly when you land because I just booked your flight for tomorrow," he gave me a cheeky grin.

"Told you!" I poked his chest. He just brought me close to his chest giving me one last hug. When we parted he gave me the most passionate kiss we've ever had. 

"I've been wanting to kiss you since you woke up," he said putting his forehead on mine.

"I love you,"

"I love you," I gave him another quick peck before watching him quickly go through security. We both waved and turned around.

I tried walking fast fearing that some people might have called the paparazzi...and sure enough, when I walked through the sliding doors they were all there.

"Melissa! Can you confirm that it was you who was in that car accident!?"

"Melissa! Over here! Why haven't you been seen with Chris for almost a month!?"

"Melissa! Melissa!" 

I had enough.

"OK! I was the person who was involved in that freakish car accident on April 23 and that's the reason why I wasn't able to be with Chris for three weeks-" they erupted with more questions. 

"Have they found out who the driver was!" one reporter asked. I sighed heavily, hating that the answer was no.

"Sadly, no. It was a hit and run. I was not thrown out of the car but I was left upside down. I only remember waking up on a gurney and a paramedic asking me if I could state my name. Thankfully they found my ID and called my family. I was left in a coma for about a week and when I woke up I didn't remember anything from the past month, which meant I didn't recognize Chris when I woke up-"

"When did you start remembering!? Because according to what you're saying you should've remembered today!"

"You're right. Today's the day I remembered and thankfully I did because I wouldn't have been able to say goodbye to my boyfriend just now," I smiled. "Alright, I gotta get going folks, or else I'll make my friend get a ticket!" I laughed pushing my way past them.
