Night Changes

Chapter 7

Johns point of view

Everyone was devastated when the doctor confirmed that angie did have memory loss. After we got home mom asked Emma and Isaac to help her with dinner. I decided to follow dad up the stairs to Angie's room.
"John open the door will you?" Dad asked, "sure dad" I steeped in front of him to open Angie's door. I walked in first, with dad and Angie behind me. He sat her down and she started looking around her room taking everything in.

"Alright sweetie we'll leave you to rest, if you need anything don't be afraid to yell for one of us" dad said to her. She looked at him and nodded her head. I was leaning against the door frame looking at her with sad eyes.
"Why do you keep on looking at me like that?" She asked me.

"I'm sorry if I'm creeping you out, it's just that I can't believe this happened to you. I mean you must remember me bud," i said as I walked over to her and kneeled in front of her and grabbed her hands.
"Come on Angie I know you do remember me" I kept on talking about all these memories of us.

"STOP!!" she screamed and put her hands in her face, "stop stop stop, please stop" she was now crying.

"Please just get out, please" I don't know what I did to make her cry.

"I'm sorry I'll leave you to rest." I said to her as tears fell from my eyes.
I walked out and shut the door behind me. I slid down the door, pulled my knees up to my chest and started crying. I kind of blame Matt for this. If he hadn't been such a dick that day, she would have stayed at his house and come home unharmed the next day. After ten minutes of what seemed of crying I stood up wiped my eyes and walked downstairs.

Mom, Emma, and Isaac were in the kitchen while dad was watching a soccer game in the living room. I decided to get a glass of water, mom looked up from the stove and noticed I was crying.
"What happened John?" She asked worryingly.
"Nothing, everything is fine." I said to her.
"We heard yelling," dad said as he came into the kitchen. I looked at him then at mom and Isaac and Emma. "Jesus, fine she yelled at me! Happy?!"
I said as I threw the glass of water to the floor, I was so stressed over this I didn't know how to handle it.

"What happened sweetie?" Mom said as she came up to hug me. Just by remembering the past events made my eyes watery.
"She-she yelled at me to stop talking be-because I was telli-telling her about the fun times we all had together."
I said to her as I hugged her tightly.

"She just has to get use to us, it's to much for her to take in right now Hun. Give her some time then we can show her pictures and videos"
She said to me as she kissed my head. "Yeah man or when she's ready," Isaac said to me as he walked up to hug me.

"There's one thing I'd like to tell you guys." I said to them as I wiped my teary eyes.
"You know how Angie doesn't remember anything? Well there's one thing- well actually five things- well people she remembers." I said looking at my family.
"Who?" Dad asked.

"One Direction" I said with a straight face. Dad started laughing at what I had just said. Emma, Isaac and me stared at him with a serious face while mom looked between us three and dad.

"I'm not playing dad, ask Em and Isaac. They were there when Emma's phone went of and her phone started playing Live While we're Young and Angie sang a verse."
I said to him almost out of breath. "Yeah dad we were amazed when she started singing it" Isaac then said.

"Ok that's enough for today lets just get the table ready and eat. Isaac go check and see if Your sister is hungry."
Mom said as she cleaned her hands in her apron and got the cups and plates out. I went after Isaac to go check on Angie. As I came up to her room he was closing the door.

"What she say?" I asked as I put my hands in my pocket.
"She's asleep." He said as he nodded his head towards her room. He was about to head downstairs when I got a hold of his arm.

"I need to talk to you." I said.
"What's up bro?" He asked.
"I noticed that when I mentioned the thing that happened back at the hospital with the song, mom had a sad look on her face." I said.
"Yeah well it's kind of hard for all of us for her to just remember them." He said looking down at the floor.

"Yeah I know, but listen we have to get rid of anything and everything that Angie has in her room of them. And we have to make sure she doesn't go into Emma's room." I said to him.

"What? Why?" He asked confused.
"Because, if she remembers their songs she's just going to be talking about them and that's going to make mom even more sad. I get that it's going to be hard knowing that almost every single person in this house listens to them, but we have to do this." I said to him. He had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Ok fine" he sighed, "but how do you know that she actually remembers them?"
"I don't know ill ask her tomorrow just to make sure. And you my friend will be up here getting everything she has of them. Got it?" I said pointing at him.

"Aye aye captain" he said and saluted me.
"Boys dinners ready." Mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
