I wake up to nothing but white, that's all I see and all I can think. That is until the questions begin to bubble. Where am I? What am I doing here? Who am I with? Why does my head hurt? What's this slight sting in the arch of my left elbow?
Who am I?
Rachel, my name is Rachel. and I'm in a hospital. Why? And why can't I remember? I just groan out of frustration and pain. Suddenly something moves. I slowly sit up and look to see a young man with pale blonde hair and ice blue eyes sitting in a chair next to me. Staring at me.
"Hello." I mutter. He grins and stands up to walk over to me. He takes my hand. I know that touch and I know those eyes. I know him. He opens his mouth to speeak but the door flies open.
"Shes up!" I blonde curly haired girl with shape grey eyes and a lab coat comes in. I know her to. She smiles broadly at me. She glances over to the guy. "Thanks for telling me icy." His grin drops and he scowls at her, but the light in his eyes don't fade when he returns his gaze to me.
"I just woke up." I tell her. The girl nods, jotting something down on the chart she's holding. "So are you like my doctor or something?" the girl freezes and the light in the guys eyes vanishes as he tenses. Just then a man in a white coat like the girls and hands her a file, she looks through in urgently before looking over to the guy at my side with sad eyes and nods to the door.
"Can we step outside, I need to talk to up for a minute." She voice is soft and slow like she were talking to an injured child. He looks back at me for a moment with a look full of thought but no light before nodding and walking away. I still can't recall his name and its killing me, just like the need to know what was in that file that's so important. And who is that girl and why did they both tense when I asked if she was my doctor. I knew her, she could be my doctor, I can know my doctor can't I?
They both stepped outside and I strained be here them but nothing came out of the white noises coming from everything around them. All I could do was watch them through the glass window. She was telling him something. He looked at her like she just telling him his mom died or something until He he seemed to snap at her and began to get angry, gesturing to my through the window without looking at me. They must be talking about me.
Finally they come back into the room. The guy is still fuming as refuses to look at me and slumps in the chair he was in before, glaring into the distance.
"Rachel, I'm just going to lay the facts out for you. You were in a car crash, we put you in a coma to allow your body to heal its self without interruption. You have made a full recovery... except for your memory." The girl tells me. The guy snorts from were he stills.
"Yeah, that sounds like a full recovery." My mind snaps at the sound of his voice, I know him. I know him, he's important to me.
"I know you, I remember you" I telling him. He snorts again and rolls his eyes before looking at me with bored eyes.
"What's my name than?" He asks. I'm confused, before he talked to the girl outside he seemed happy that I was awake.
"Octavian." I answer before I even realize that I know the answer. Light flickers in his eyes for a moment before he shakes his head and the light is crushed.
"how'd we meet? What's my status in your life? What's my favorite colour?" He asks. My mind races only to find no answers. I take a deep breathe as I look away fron him, looking at the foot of my bed trying as hard as I can to remember. "See? You don't remember me." He scowls at the wall. I glance at him again pleadingly hoping studying his features can help me remember. As I look at his features I get a fuzzy feeling inside ans blurs of memories to blurred to know what's going on but I know from the feeling I get that most of them are good. My brain strives to remember what made me feel so good. but nothing happens. I almost cry.
Instead I bury head into my fore arms and bend over into my lap and grunt."What's wrong with me?" I grunt out at them. I look up at The girl, my eyes starting to mist. "Why can't I remember?"
"Like I said, your memory is the only thing that came out unclear. You were in a car crash and we put you a coma for just ocver a month. Your long tem memory is fried but You should regain it over time. Know can you tell my your name?" The girl asked.
"Rachel Dare." I answer. She nods with a smile.
"Good. Can you remember who I am?" She asks. I study her up and down for a good minute and a half before it clicks.
"You're Annabeth, you're my best friend." I tell her with a smile. She smiles widely.
"Yes! See! Your already remembering."
"And your a doctor?" I guess.
"Close, I'm I cyclogest. They brought be in when they saw that your brain may not have made a full recovery as fast as the rest of your body." I nod.
She than pulls out a flash card with cubes on it. "I know this is childish but can you tell me how many cubes are on this card?"She asks. Suddenly Octavian stands up.
"Look, I really don't have the paisans to teach her how to cont to four all over again so I'm going to go home well you teach her shit like that." He says before walking to the door. Before he leaves I speak up.
"One, two, three, four. Looks like I don't need your help." I call after him. He yanks open the door and storms out, slamming the door behind him. I wince. I look to Annabeth. One of his questions still linger in my mind.
"What is his status in my life?"I ask. Annabeth gives me a sad look, like she's sorry I don't know.
"He's your boyfriend."
