Hey guys, I just thought up this story out of no where so I thought I would put it to use. Just some information before you read so this is important.
LILLY AND KATE ARE NOT SISTERS. Just so it's out there and I hope you enjoy.
Humphrey's pov:
I woke up to see I was in a hospital, I squinted my eyes to see the figures past the bright light. I didn't know them, but they apparently knew me. They were all talking, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. My hearing sounded like my ears were clogged with water and my eyesight was blurry. The figures stopped talking and looked towards me. They started asking questions that I didn't know the answers to, like "what is your name?" and "do you know where you are?", I just weakly said "I don't know". They moved out of the way for another figure to come up to me. He was obviously the doctor, my thought was justified as he near in to my face. He was an older man with glasses and a white lab coat on, his eyes were a dull blue, but they still breathed life. He just asked me the same questions and I just gave the same answers. He backed away and slowly shook his head, then he turned to the group of people in the room. They waited anxiously for some good news, but it wasn't the good news they wanted. The doctor motioned for the group to follow him outside of the room. I saw the last one close the door behind them, so I just laid there, alone and confused. I started to survey my surrounds, but it was just an old hospital room with nothing special. So then I surveyed myself and realized that I had an IV in my left arm and a bandage wrapped around my head. I wasn't in much pain, so I decided to get up. I pulled the IV out and slowly stood up. My ankles and knees began to buckle, so I used the hospital bed for balance. I slowly made my way to the door and reached for the doorknob, but I didn't open the door. I used the doorknob to help balance me and I pressed my ear against the door. I could hear the doctor talking, he was telling them about someone losing their memory. "Maybe that's me?" I thought to myself. It would explain why I didn't know the answers to the questions. I heard soft crying from behind the door, it sounded like a female crying. All of a sudden the door opened and I went falling on the floor.
"Oh my god, Humphrey what are you doing out of bed?" A girl asked. She had blonde hair that looked like silk and her eyes were like two pools of gold. She and some others helped me up and laid me back in bed. The doctor walked in and was inserting a new IV needle.
"Now boy, you have to stay in bed." He said while trying to find my vein. "Squeeze your fist." I did as he asked and the IV went in. He taped the needle down so it wouldn't slide out. The girl sat by the bed after the doctor had finished. She was joined by a few other girls as they looked at me with worry in their eyes. I didn't know what to do so I just stared back. The girl with blonde hair spoke up.
"Do you know who I am?" She asked while leaning in towards me. I shook my head and she had a saddened look on her face. "Well I'm Kate." She said waiting to see if I would react. The name sounded familiar, but that's all I felt from her name. "This is Lilly." She said while pointing at a girl with white hair and purple eyes. Lilly walked up to me and took my hand, I pulled my hand back. She seemed hurt by my action, but I didn't know them. They could be the reason I was in the hospital in the first place.
"Your name is Humphrey Chazer." She said, but that name meant nothing to me either. I just lay there looking at them like they were crazy. Lilly let out a sigh and sat back down by Kate.
"Humphrey, please remember." Kate demanded, but as much as I wanted to do as she said I couldn't. I tried to dig deep in my mind, but there was nothing.
"I can't." I finally muttered. The girls were quiet for a while until Kate broke the silence.
"Ok everyone, we should let him get some sleep." She stood up and looked at me. I saw she had tears in her eyes, but she didn't cry. "I'll be here tomorrow to pick you up if the doctor gives the all clear." She said as she walked out the room. There I was again, alone and still confused. At least I had a name now, Humphrey Chazer. If I did lose my memory and ended up in the hospital, where were my parents. "Do I have parents?" I thought to myself. "If I was injured then I believe my parents would have been here." I was stuck on this thought for a while, but it was soon interrupted by a nurse who removed my bandages. She was a young woman, but her eyes were tired. "I guess that's what comes with a hospital job." I thought to myself. I had an urge to ask her how old I was.
"Ummm...miss, how old am I?" I asked not knowing if she even knew.
"You are twenty two." she said while unwinding my bandages. The bandages were a little bloody, but they looked old. She walked out of the room taking my bandages with her. I decided to sleep on what I have learned today, besides what else could I do. I feel asleep fairly quick because my eyelids were heavy and I was worn out from the day. I slept until I was awoken by the doctor.
"You can go home now." He said with a smile across his face. I just looked at him with a confused look.
"Home?" Just then Kate walked in. She turned the corner pretty fast as if she was a child ready for Christmas morning.
"Come on Humphrey, let's get you home." She said smiling. The doctor helped me up out of bed and into Kate's car.
"Ok boy, stay out of trouble. He said smiling. I just nodded and he walked off. Kate hopped in the driver's seat and started the car. She looked over at me and smiled.
"Don't look at me like I'm crazy, I'll explain as much as I can when we get home." She drove off onto the road and I just stared out of the window. She was trying to start many small conversations, but I wasn't having any of it. I only wanted to know about my life and what happened. She stopped trying because it was useless, so she turned on the radio. It was some chick song, so I didn't listen to it. My eyes were focusing on the many houses passing by. We soon pulled into a driveway. "This is it." She said while putting the car in park.
"Your home?" I asked her while looking at the house. The house was two story and looked like a family home. It was old and needed a new lick of paint, but it was gorgeous.
"No not mine, yours." She said getting out of her car and coming over to help me out. I opened the car door and stood up, but I couldn't walk without support. The doctor said it was from not using my legs while I was out cold. I must have been out for a long time for my legs to get this weak. She threw my arm around her and closed the door behind me. We slowly made our way to the house door. She unlocked the door and opened it. We walked in and she sat me down on the couch and ran back to shut the door. I looked around a bit while she was in the other room. It was a nice house, it had a fireplace with old knick knacks on the shelf above it, there was a flat screen tv above the fireplace, and a long couch that was in the shape of a L. There were some pictures on the walls, I couldn't see them real well, but they looked like family photos. Kate walked back in and laid her keys on the kitchen table. She sat next to me and just looked at me. "Now Humphrey, I want you to listen." She said facing me. "You were in a car accident a few months ago and you have been in a coma until yesterday."
"A few months?" I asked looking at her with disbelief.
"Yes, your head took a beating and that's why you don't remember anything." I just sat there and tried to make sense of the whole situation. I mean how can someone just lose a whole life's memories? She moved closer to me and said, "I know it's hard to grasp, but you may never regain your lost memories." She said with tears in her eyes. She turned her face so I wouldn't see her tears, but I saw them and didn't know why she was crying.
"Why are you crying?" I asked. She just wiped the tears away.
"It's nothing Humphrey." She said while managing a smile. "Lilly is coming over too, so I'm going to make dinner." I perked up a little when she said dinner. She laughed, but I was hungry. I haven't eaten for who knows how long. "I'm making your favorite, spaghetti." She said walking into the kitchen. I didn't know my favorite was spaghetti, but she did. She knew a lot about me and seemed to care for me. I waited for a while before I could smell the spaghetti. It smelled amazing and my mouth began to water. My delicious thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. I turned around to see a white haired girl with those unforgettable purple eyes.
"Hi Humphrey." She said happily.
"Hi." I said awkwardly. She dropped a bag on the table and walked into the kitchen. I had been sitting down for a while and I felt stiff. I stood up and walked slowly while holding on to anything to balance me. When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I looked up to see how far the top was. Getting up the stairs was the easy part because there was a railing to help me up. I was at the top looking in both directions of the hallways. I went right and found a bathroom, it was a nice bathroom. All white with a walk in shower. I turned to the mirror and froze, I was looking at someone I didn't know. It was me, but I have never seen me before. I had a scar on my forehead, probably from the accident, and a light beard going on. My eyes were blue and my hair was gray. "I thought that nurse said I was twenty two." I thought. I had old looking hair, but my face and body were young. I heard Kate and Lilly calling my name, but I was too busy studying myself.
"Humphrey, where are you?" Kate called out. I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, but I still didn't budge. "Humphrey, dinner is done." Kate said peeking in.
"Ok." I had to drag myself from the mirror. Kate helped me down the stairs and into the kitchen. She sat me down at the table, Lilly was already there. Kate sat down and told us to eat. It was delicious and now I know why it was my favorite.
"Is it good?" Kate asked.
"Very much so." I said happy to have food in my belly.
"Well I'm glad you like it." She smiled. We ate the rest of our dinner in silence, because I don't think we were going to get much more conversation out of each other anyway. We all finished and Lilly took all of the plates and started cleaning them in the sink.
"I'm going to take a shower." I said standing up. I walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the bathroom. I cut on the shower and shut the door. I undressed and hopped in, the water was nice and warm. Steam rose into the air like a dense fog. I heard someone open the bathroom door and I woke up from my daydream.
"You ok in there Humphrey?" Kate asked.
"Uhh...yea, I'm fine." I said nervously. I knew she was inside the bathroom because I could hear her messing around in the bathroom storage closet.
"Need help in there?" She teased.
"No, I think I can handle it from here." I said washing off.
"Ok ask if you need help." With that I heard the door shut. All I could hear was the running water. I washed off and got out, the steam was still dense and it was hard to see. I dried off and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked off down the hallway searching for my room to get some clothes on. I looked into a room and Kate was in there brushing her hair. She was in her pink bra and underwear. She looked over at me and I turned my head to keep me from looking at her. "Humphrey!" She yelled.
"I'm sorry, I was just trying to find my room." I cried out, hoping that she didn't slap me. She just sighed.
"Come on." She led me to a room. "Here's your room." She said still in her bra and underwear. I just looked at her and she was looking back. We stared into each other's eyes until Lilly walked in. I looked over at her and she was in her black bra and underwear.
"Come on Kate I need your help." Lilly said walking back down the hall. Kate followed her out, but turned around to see me staring at her butt. She snapped her fingers and that jolted me out of my trance. She just pointed at me and walked out, I didn't know what that meant, but it couldn't be good. I looked around my room and it was definitely a man's room. There was a flat screen tv and a Xbox one under it. There were pictures of me, Lilly, and Kate at some water park. In the back corner there was a work station with some mechanisms on it. I picked out some black basketball shorts and a white t-shirt. After I put them on I walked over to the work station and examined the strange machines. There were gears and tools scattered across the metal work station. I was picking up each of the pieces until Kate walked in.
"You were working on that before the accident." She said scaring me. I dropped a gear down on the ground and turned quickly to look at her. She had put on some short workout shorts and a white tank top. "Sorry I didn't mean to sneak up on you." She said walking up to me.
"Working on what exactly?" I asked her, picking up the gear I dropped.
"I wish I knew, you always were up here working on different little gadgets." Kate looked sad after finishing what she said. She turned to walk out of the room, but I grabbed her hand.
"Who are you Kate?" I asked her. She looked as if she knew the answer, but didn't want me to know.
"I'm your..." she said, but didn't finish.
"My what?" I realized I was still holding her hand, so I let go.
"I'm your...good friend." She said the last part quickly and with that she darted out of the room. I sat down on my bed and began to think. "Good friend, I don't think good friends walk around in their underwear." I thought. I stood up and went looking for Kate and Lilly, I found them in the living room. They were talking about something, but stopped as I slowly made my way into the room. Kate had tears in her eyes, but quickly wiped them away. I sat down at the other end of the couch and looked at the tv. I had the feeling that they were staring at me, but I brushed it off. There was some movie on dealing with a girl trying to find her mother, I didn't pay much attention to it. I feel asleep quickly on the couch, the couch was quite comfy. I remember waking up to see Kate and Lilly in my face. They were helping me up to my bed, when I got in my room I just fell on the bed going back to sleep. I assumed they went to sleep as well, but I didn't know what time it was.
