AN-So once again, Julie and Charlie have invaded the mind with a brand new idea that I hope you all like.
If anyone has ever read Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin, this fic is based loosely off it. If you haven't then I totally recommend it because it's an incredible book!
There's a very bad pain in my head, like someone has whacked me over and over with a baseball bat. The lights are bright...too bright, making my eyes ache. I hear voices, muffled not familiar, not making sense.
What's happening? Something bad must have happened, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I had something planned today...didn't I?
''Ok Julie, it's time to go to sleep now.''
That voice was unfamiliar too...
The entire Ducks hockey teamed were all in the hospital waiting room. Connie was sitting in a chair, a nervous wreak snapping at anyone who dared to look at her. Guy was sitting next to her, an arm wrapped around her, trying to calm her.
Dean and Fulton looked defeated sitting in chairs, that frankly, were a little too small for them. Normally joking around, they sat quietly, dejectedly.
Charlie was pacing up and down in front of the desk, while the nurses gave him looks of annoyance. Finally, Adam gets up and walks over.
''Come sit down, Charlie.'' he says.
''I can't, they have to talk to me.'' Charlie says, giving the front desk a look.
Adam grabs him arm and carefully guides him over next to Connie.
''Dude, you have got to calm down. You're not family, they won't tell you anything.'' says Adam.
Charlie sits down next to Connie with a sigh. She reaches over and grabs his hand, squeezing it gently.
''I know.'' she says softly.
But she's wrong, she really doesn't know how much Julie means to him.
Russ walks over and smiles at the captain.
''Chill Conway, you know the saying, 'No news is good news.''' he says.
''I just wish they'd tell us something, anything. I just want to know she's alive.'' he says, loudly, giving the front desk another pointed look.
''I can't deal with this, it's so unreal.'' Connie murmurs, taking her hand away from Charlie.
''God Connie, none of us can deal right now! Julie got hurt, we're all worried about her!'' Charlie snapped.
Connie's eyes tear up and Guy glares at Charlie, while wrapping an arm around her. Charlie just sighs and stands up, walking away.
At that moment, Coach Bombay runs through the door, looking around wildly. He spots Charlie and rushes over.
''Charlie, what's wrong. Ted just said come to the hospital.''
''It's Julie, she got hit by a puck during the game. Knocked her out.'' Charlie mutters.
Bombay sighs, running a hand through his hair. ''Have you hears anything?''
''No, we're not family, so they're not telling us anything.'' replies Charlie.
''Her parents are in Maine. Did anyone call them?'' Bombay demands.
''Yea, they were taking the next flight out.''
''I'm gonna go talk to Ted. Are you ok Charlie?''
''I'm fine Coach.'' Charlie says.
Bombay pats his shoulder and walks off. Charlie sighs, and once again, walks over to the front desk.
''Look, I know that I'm not family, but please, just-''
''Young man, I've been telling you since you got here that there's nothing I can tell you about your friend. Yet, here you are, demanding and begging.'' the nurse shook her head.
''I'm sorry.'' says Charlie. ''But that's my friend in there, and her family is nowhere near here, so excuse me for trying to find something out!''
''Come with me.'' the nurse demands quietly.
Charlie sighs but walks with her down the hallway. He's certain she's bringing him to some security office. It's a surprise when they stop outside a room.
''You have an hour, and after that, no more complaining.'' the nurse says.
Charlie grins brightly and thanks her. He enters the room quietly and sees Julie lying on the bed. She's resting comfortably. He sighs and sits down in the chair next to the bed.
''Come on Jules, wake up.'' he says softly.
I wake up in a hospital room. Blinking, I look around and see someone sitting in a chair. His head is in his hands.
''Hello?'' I ask.
He looks up, and I can finally see his face. He doesn't look familiar, but there's something telling me I should know him.
''Welcome back, sleepy head.'' he says, with a grin.
I must admit, whoever he is, he's very cute. He has clear blue eyes, and brown curly hair. Plus that grin makes my heart flutter. I wish I knew who he was.
''Jules?'' his grin is gone now. ''Are you ok?''
I bite my lip. ''I don't want to be rude.''
''What's wrong?'' he asks.
I pause for a second, trying to figure out the best way to say this, without hurting his feelings, I mean, he really looks worried about me.
''Julie?'' he asks, when I don't answer.
He's really impatient. I figure nice and slow isn't the way to approach this, so I just blurt it out.
''Who are you?''
AN-Oh, the drama! Oh, the shock! Oh, the surprise. Oh, hit the review button!
I know this is like, really short but it's only the prequel, I hope you enjoyed it!
