His Girl

chapter 55

James.
"I'm sorry I don't know you"
It was if those words were on repeat in my head. She didnt remember me. Maybe it's the shock of waking up, maybe she will remember, maybe it's best she doesnt remember.
"Harper I'm Dr Peterson but you can call me brian" the doctor says, making himself known to my sweetheart.  "Is he ok" she asks looking at me with concern. "Hes just upset that you dont remember" the Doctor informs her and she looks at me like she was trying to figure me out. "What do you remember " the doctor asks slowly and carefully. "I..I remember nothing" she said and broke down in tears. It hurt me seeing her like this, but I started to think positively,  she can get to know me again and she has only just met max so that will be easy to get to know him again too, not that she really knows him and with her memory loss she wont remember the shitty things that had happened especially with her parents. "Hey it's ok, I'll help you recall the important things" I tell her and hold my hand out to her. She hesitantly takes it and gives me a small smile. "A..are we f...friends" she asks and I take a small breath. What do I tell her?  I finally decide on what to tell her, it would be best if she didnt know just yet. "We are good friends" I tell her and she nods. I couldnt help but think to the first time she nodded, the only time. How I behaved like a dick, how I would happily have her never remember it. "You look a little familiar" she says still looking at me. "I'm glad I do" I say feeling happy at this little piece of information. "We will have to run some tests to determine what type of amnesia she is suffering fron" the dr says interrupting our moment. "It seems long term to me" I tell him and he replies "yes, but in rare occasions the sufferers brain restarts after a period of time and all they did the other day will be forgotten. This will be on repeat each day" that killed me to even think about. I can't let that happen no matter what. "I can get started now if you want" the dr asks "yeah" I reply sadly.

Whilst the doctor did the tests i stepped out to call max. Hopefully if I give him a warning of what to expect he can prepare himself. He picked up on the second ring. "Yes, I'm coming, I was driving and I saw this little shop and saw in the window it sold stuffed animals so I bought a giant teddy bear for when she wakes up" max said and I couldnt help but chuckle. "well I'm sure she will love it" I reply, now it was the hard part. "Hey why you calling anyway, you usually just sit there, is everything ok, oh god m something is wrong" he began to panic. "She is awake" I tell him not wanting to tell him the next bit. "Then why you calling me, you should be spending time with her. I've just entered the hospital I'll be quick. Thank God." The rush and excitement in his voice was obvious and it killed me to say the next thing
"she has amnesia"
