We immediately rushed to the hospital. Thank God my step-father was there so he drove us there. Martha, Hero and Mercy came along for support. Everybody was very upset because they all liked and got along really well with Alex.
But I was the most upset one.
I couldn't stop shaking the whole drive there. Hero held secretly my hand tracing small circles in my palm with his thumb trying to calm me down.
When we reached the hospital, I let the adults do all the talking so we could learn more information about everything.
Hero rubbed my arms up and down as I tried to control my breathing.
"Everything is going to be okay. Don't worry about anything" he kissed my forehead and I nodded trying to convince myself he was right.
Mercy let out a breath crossing her arms.
"What's taking them so long?" she asked. Just then our parents came back with a doctor.
"Family for Alexander Easton?" The doctor said.
We all looked at each other. Alex didn't have any family. He lived at an orphanage.
"Kind of" Martha said.
"Well good news! He's going to be okay" he finally blurted out and I felt like I could finally breath. We all broke into grins.
"He has just some bruises and he's going to be wearing a colar for a little. But other than that he is completely fine. And now for the bad news..." he trailed.
"Bad news? You said he's fine!" I exclaimed and Martha gave me side hug telling to shush.
"He seems to be having memory loss. He doesn't seem to remember anything that had happened the past hours nor anything about himself and his past. He did hit his head but no damage seems to be permanent. He was lucky."
"Me- memory loss?" I stuttered.
We all looked at each other with worried expressions.
The doctor looked at his papers. "Is there someone in his life named Jo?"
I slowly raised my hand.
"You seem to be the only thing he remembers. He keeps calling for you since he woke up. You should go see him. Um... should I write you're his girlfriend?" He asked.
I was about to deny but then I remembered the whole family was around. I wanted to smack myself for letting the lie I had told them about Alex and I dating spread out. It wasn't the time to explain though, so I just nodded my head.
"Uhh yeah"
Hero stiffened beside me. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it silently telling him it wasn't true.
The doctor led us to Alex's room. They let me go in first.
When I entered the room, I saw him sitting on his bed a healing colar on his neck and he was looking blankly at the wall. A nurse was next to him doing something to the machine next to him I didn't understand. He seemed so confused when he saw me coming in.
I went closer to him and kneeled besides him.
"Alex?" I said.
"Who are you?"
I wanted to cry. This was all my fault. I should have handled the situation differently. And now he tried to kill himself because of me.
"Jo" I whispered.
He smiled.
"Jo. I know that name" he adorably said.
I quickly nodded my head.
