Reconnecting With My Dad John

memories gone

I slowly opened my eyes and the brightness of the lights stung my eyes making them water. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and began to look around. I was in some room which was completely white.

"Is this heaven?"

I heard a lady's laugh and I turned to see a woman in some sort of uniform.

"No sweetie I'd be pretty disappointed if this was heaven"

"Yeah I suppose"

" You're in hospital sweet one"

" Why? What's wrong with me?".

" You were shot."

" I was shot?."

" Don't you remember?".

" No."

" What's the last thing you remember."

I thought but I couldn't remember anything at all"

" I don't remember."

"What's your name sweetie?."

"I don't know?."

I started to cry feeling distressed that I can't remember anything.

" What's wrong with me?."

" Don't worry. You have been threw something tramatic and sometimes that can affect your memory but don't worry it will most likely return once you begin to heal."

The lady left the room and I was so confused. What happened to me? Who am I? And where am I?."

"How is she ruby?" One of the other nurses asked.

" She has woken up."

"That's fantastic news ruby. I'm sure you are relived you have hardly left her side since she was brought in."

"She doesn't remember anything. We still don't know her name or anything."

A visitor was walking past the desk where the 2 nurses were talking and stopped to speak to the ladies.

" Im sorry for disturbing yous and I know I'm being nosey but what has happened to John Lennons daughter?. I seen her threw the window while I was passing as my daughter Avril is in the next room."

" Excuse me John Lennons daughter?."

"Yes the girl in room 10"

"That's the girl we were just talking about the one who lost her memory." Ruby said to the other lady.

" Ma'am are you sure that's her?."

"Oh I'm 100% sure. My daughter Avril is a huge John Lennon fan and she showed me her picture that was in one of the newspapers. It is her for sure."

"Would you happen to know her name or age?"

"I'm sorry I really don't know

"Thank you ma'am you have been such a great help."

" You're welcome."

The lady walked away and the relief ruby felt was immense.

" Now we know who she is it's time to try and track down her dad"

" He lives in the Dakota buildings that's all I know."

"That's great I can just ring reception and hope they connect me to them."

Ruby walked towards the phone and searched threw the phone book that was beside it and found the number for the Dakota and she rang it and was quickly connected to reception.

"Hello I'm from the hospital and we have John Lennons daughter here. Would you be able to connect me to his apartment."

"I'm sorry but we can't just connect anybody to his apartment. You could be anyone."

"I'm not anyone I am from the hospital. His daughter was brought in yesterday and we need to talk to him. You either let me speak to him now or there will be police involved."

"I'll put you threw to him now."

John's pov.

I haven't slept or ate and I am not coping at all. I'm anxiously awaiting cyns arrival and I'm dreading it. I don't have any answers.

The phone ringing snapped John outta his thoughts and he answered the phone.

"Ello."

"Hello is this John Lennon?."

" If your a fan please now isn't the time."

" I'm ruby I'm a nurse from the Roosevelt hospital. We believe that we have your daughter here."

" Tilly is there?."

" We aren't certain it was another patient that recognised her that's how we knew who she was?"

" I'll be there really soon. Please just keep her safe."

" We will Mr Lennon."

John hung up the phone and felt for the first time in days he could breath.

" Yoko they have found her."

Yoko walked into the living room and smiled.

"Really where is she?."

" She is at the Roosevelt hospital."

" That's brilliant news John."

" Come on let's go and see her."

" I'm not coming John."

John looked at her confused

" What do you mean your not coming. Didn't you hear me Tilly's been found."

"I heard you."

"Then why aren't you coming?."

"I don't feel well John I'm carrying your child you know"

" Well I think Tilly is feeling worse than you. But forget about it I'll go alone."

John stormed outta the apartment in a rage but he wasn't going to let Yoko spoil this moment. He was just happy to be going to see his daughter again.
