He Can't Remember

chapter 13

Over the next few days, we all went to the hospital to try to get Liam to come to his senses. He was really trying to remember, but everyday when we had to leave, we left with little progress.

Today, the boys had to do a signing, against their wishes. Louis and Niall didn't want to do it without Liam and decided to protest by sitting on the ground.  Paul had to pick them up and push them out the door to the van that waited. I was going to stay behind not wanting to be attacked by the hate that still lingered. When Paul was able to shut the door and lock it,  Niall rolled down the window and called me to the door.

" Kat. Will you go down and see if you can help Liam?" He said his blue eyes becoming close to puppy dog formation.

"But Liam isn't going to remember anything with me. I wasn't there when you first met. I wasn't there when you recorded the songs. I wasn't there till after the crash, which he won't remember seeing my face cause I didn't see his." I say

Niall spoke" Yes, but you have things that maybe can be used to help. We can't help today and need you to try. Please?"  His eyes formed the big eyes that no one in the band could seem to say no to. And neither could I.

"Alright. I'll try but I don't think it'll do much good." I say giving in.

"Thank you." Niall said happily.

"Welcome. I'll see you guys later. " I smile.

" Didn't we tell you? We'll be gone for a few days. We're going to different cities in England. " Niall said his face falling.

" Well than, I'll see you in a few days. But please tell me what's going on. And that everyone doesn't hate me."

"They don't all hate you. They-"

"Katalina, we have to be going. Say goodbye. You guys can text later, We're going to be late. Sorry." Paul said hurriedly.

"Sorry Paul. Bye. I'll see you in a few days." I wave backing away from the van. The boys wave and Paul drives them out of view. Sighing I go back inside and grab my keys and a few magazines and copy's of the albums. I hurry downstairs again, getting into my car and driving to the hospital.

I wave to the nurses as I head up to Liam's room.  I reach upstairs and begin walking to the room, when Reggie- one of the nurses that staffed this floor- stopped me.

"I going to guess your here to see Liam." He said lifting his eyebrows.

" Well, it's not the bunny man, I've been coming into see for the past few weeks." I say back.

Reggie ignored that" Well, he's downstairs eating lunch. He said he was tired of being cooped up in the room."

" Alright, thanks for telling me." I say, turning around and heading back downstairs.

The cafeteria here was a blasting color white that still blinds me. I stand on my tip toes looking for Liam. I see him sitting in the back corner of the room next to one of the few windows they had here.  He sat looking out the window munching on a sandwich. I walk over and plop myself in the seat next to him.

" Hey." I say

He looks away from the window. A smile is placed on his lips." Hi. What are you doing here? Where are the others?"

" They had to do something and were really sad that you couldn't come with them or come see you. So I thought I would stop by and say hi."

"That's all? No, trying to get my memory back today?"

"Well. Niall thought it would be a better idea to try with someone you didn't know from before the crash. "

Liam's smile fell into a frown and he turned back to looking out the window." I don't see the point of trying this anymore. I can't seem to remember anything. None of the lyrics, none of the beats. No names, places or things seem to pop back into my head on who i am or who I know. What I do is not coming back. I mean you say that I'm a singer in a band called One Direction that formed on a British television show called X-factor. But, I don't remember any of it."

" Because if you don't remember, all your friends and family can't get you out of their heads. Your way to well know to be forgotten. Your known by people that you don't even now their name." I say." Have we watched the videos of your performances on the X-factor?"

"Yes we have, and all the video diaries. It's no use. I'm sorry."

"Liam. We're not giving up in this. It's to big a deal. Come on, let's go up stairs and try something. Something has to work sooner or later."

Liam sighs and looks back at me " Why do you do this?"

"Do what?"

"Help me. Try to help me get my memory back? You don't really know me. I don't really know you. Why?"

" Because.. Because" I thought why I helped. Was it because I was nice. I was trying to make people happy? " Because I can't stand seeing people sad. " I went with." When I walked into your room, the first time I saw you not at the crash and I finally got to see you. I felt like something was wrong. And than when Niall and Harry, Louis and Zayn came in the room, seeing their devastated faces I had to try. It broke my heart." I recall Niall crying when he saw Liam and Harry's rage that lingered when I told him I hit him.

Liam looked into my eyes. Their brown color was watery  from a tear that started to form" You really care about them. About me." He sighed." Let's give it another go. " He stood up and held his hand out for me and I grab it graciously.
