Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 13 - Progress

After hours and hours of talking with Jack, checkups with nurses and doctors, and visits with family and friends, I was exhausted. It's now 9pm. Apparently Jack hadn't slept at all for quite a while.

"You really didn't have to stay up. You could've gone home and went to sleep." I told him.

"If you wanted me to stay up for two more days, I would."

My phone began to ring. The caller ID said Cam.

"Hello?"

"Hey Paige! What's up?" This sounded like Cameron Dallas..

"Hi.. Is this, um, Cameron... Dallas?"

He laughed. "Yes? Is this Paige.. Holland?"

Oh my god. "Um, I wish I could talk to you all normal, but.." Jack took the phone.

"Hey Cam. She uh, she got into an accident at the airport, she has amnesia."

He went on talking to Cameron about what happened.

"Here." He handed me the phone.

"Hi.." I said.

"Hey, I really hope you get better soon. If you don't, I'm coming down to visit, okay? I'm sorry that this happened."

"I'm sorry too. This sucks. I'd be happy to see you soon, though."

"I'll call you later, okay?" He seemed sad.

"Okay, see ya."

"Bye."

I sighed and rubbed my eyes. Jack came over to me.

"It's okay, babe."

I closed my eyes for a second. I feel terrible.

My phone was ringing, once again. This time it said Barbara. What the hell? Her contact ID was a picture of us. Me and Barbara Palvin. Oh my god.

"Um.." I widened my eyes at my phone.

"Here." Jack took my phone. "Just turn it off for the day."

I nodded. "Good idea."

My mom and dad walked in.

"Hey kiddos!" My mom said. She had a plate of cinnamon rolls and turkey sandwiches. My dad had balloons, a teddy bear, and a box of something.

"Oh guys, you didn't have to do this." I laughed. They both set the stuff down on the table.

"Yes we did! And that stuff is for you too, Jack."

He smiled. "Thank you."

They both sat down.

"So what's been happening? Do you remember anything?"

I shook my head. Nothing.

"That's okay.. That's okay."

I sighed. I felt terrible, like I have the entire day.

"Here," my dad got up and handed me the box. I looked inside.

There were a ton of pictures of me and Jack, me on the runway, paparazzi pictures, me with fans... It was all too much.

"I can't look at these. It just makes me upset that I don't remember." I began to cry.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention." My dad said.

"Oh, I know. Thanks anyways." I wiped my eyes.

I talked to my parents for a couple hours while Jack went home and took a shower and got his things. Apparently he wanted to stay the night with me here.

It was now 11pm, and I sat in the hospital bed by myself. It was dark and quiet, and I was half asleep. I slowly closed my eyes. 

I woke up about 5 minutes later and looked over to see Jack on the couch.

"Here." He got up and handed me a toothbrush and some toothpaste that I asked for.

"Thank you." I laughed and stood up to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I was done, he took them back and put them in a little bag.

I got back into the bed.

"I'm so tired.." I said.

"Me too." He rubbed his eyes.

"Come lay with me." I scooted over and posted the bed. He grinned.

He stood up and brought a big red Nebraska blanket with him and layed down next to me.

I stared at him, ignoring the butterflies in my stomach.

I took in his scent. He smelt like gum and sweet cinnamon bears. I think there was a hint of cologne. It reminded me of when... OH MY GOD.

"JACK!" I sat up. I think I startled him.

"What?!?" He sat up.

"You took me to iFly! I remember!"

"Paige!" He hugged me tight.

"You woke me up at 5! You didn't tell me that we were going to ifly.. My jumpsuit got stuck.. I remember Dave! You took me to Pam's pastries.. I literately remember that entire day!"

He hugged me again.

Jack's POV:

I was ecstatic. If she remembers this, it'll probably be a matter of time before she remembers everything. I couldn't be happier.
