A Forgotten Past

Chapter 1: where am I?

ZAYN's POV

As I walk through the darkened gray halls. I can feel the stares and whispers from everyone. It's been a year since it happened. It's all my fault that the love of my life is in the hospital. I still haven't forgave myself. And I hope that when she wakes up that she'll forgive me. I don't even know why I asked her to come out and see me that night. It was so selfish of me to even ask her to come out.

But since her parents hate me it's even harder for me to see her besides school. I had to have everyone lie about it . They always ask me what happened but all I tell them is that it's none of their god damn business. I already feel like shit about it, I don't need anybody else to make me feel more like shit. I just want my baby back in my arms. I desperately want that feeling of her warmth. I want to hold her close to me and never let go. I just need her back.

I walk to my locker to grab my books for my next class as I start to here my phone ringing. I look at the caller ID and I see that it's Bria.

"Hello?" I say

"ZAYN!! COME QUICK NOW! Lexi sh-she's awake!"

"What?! No yo-your serious?

"Yes I'm serious! Now get your ass down here now. Her parents aren't here and it's perfect for you to come."

"Okay I'll be there as quick as I can."

"Hurry you don't have much time, Zayn their about to call her parents." Bria hangs up and I put up all of my shit back into my locker and grab my car keys.
I run out to the front of the school and I quickly go to my car and start the engine. I couldn't be anymore happy. I'm getting my baby back!

20 min earlier

Bria and Sandra have both been waiting for Lexi to wake up. They haven't gone to school for a long time. But it's fine they just have their boyfriends, Harry and Michael, bring them their class work and they give it to them to turn in.

They both don't want to leave Lexi's side because you never know when she would wake up. As they're both sitting looking around the dull gray room from the corner of both of our eyes they saw Lexis fingers move.

Bria and Sandra gasp. They inch closer to her bed to get a better look at her. Her eyes start to flicker before they snap open. She shoots up in her bed wincing and she starts to open her eyes.

"Lexi, you're awake!" Bria said almost in tears.

"W-what happened?" Lexi whisper. Her head was pounding, and her body was weak and hurting.

"I'm gonna go call Zayn really quick and tell him to come." Bria said running out the room.

"I'm... You," Sandra paused, "You were sneaking out to see Zayn. He picked you up from your house, as you were driving... A drunk driver hit you guys. Zayn was fine, but..." She tried not to cry, "You flew out the car. You were in a coma for a year

"W-who's Zayn?" Lexi asked.

That's when Sandra's heart dropped. She doesn't remember the love of her life.

Sandra laughed, hoping she was joking, "Lexi, don't play with me."

Lexi didn't say anything, she looked a bit confused. That's when it hit Sandra. Lexi really had forgotten everything about the man that she had once loved in the past she forgot every detail about his chiseled face, to the piercing hazel eyes that always took her breath away, the many tattoos that she would trace the outline with her fingers when she got bored.

All if the sudden Bria walks in all excited and almost on the brink of tears. Sandra grabbed her arm and pulled her outside.

"What the hell?" Bria said.

"She doesn't remember Zayn." Sandra shouted.

"Sandra, this isn't funny. Our best friend just woken up after a year in a coma-" Sandra quickly cut her off.

"I'm not joking around! She can't remember Zayn!" Sandra said.

"What?!" Bria said.

"Like she doesn't know him!" Sandra said.

"What?! No she has to remember him. Zayn's going to be completely heartbroken when he comes.

Bria and Sandra both look at each other only hoping that Lexi's memory will come back in time.

ZAYN's POV

As soon as I got to the hospital I quickly parked my car and practically ran inside to the elevator.

Once I reached the elevator I pushed the number 5 and waited as the elevator stated to go slowly up.
I was never really fond of hospitals because every time the smell just got to me I never could take how unbearably quiet it was or the fucking stupid music that would always play in the elevator like why did you have to play happy music when something tragic could ever happen to anyone at any time.

I came out of my thoughts when I heard the bell ding and when the doors slowly opened. The closer I got to the room the more nervous I got. My hands were shaking, my palms were sweating, my heart was beating ten times faster than it usually was whenever I was around her.

I got to the door and slowly opened it reveling Lexi Bria and Sandra.
I couldn't believe that she was actually awake. Even though she was in the hospital she still looked beautiful.

I took a deep breath and said "hey love. I've missed you."

But what she said next just broke my heart into a million pieces.

"Who are you?" Is what she said that hurt me.
