First off, I'm surprised that no one has made this type of AU yet. But, if you have, please tell me so if I should discontinue this, or if it's just horrific, please, PLEASE tell me.
Anyway, this is my first story, just to let you all know. Well, first NickxEllis story. :D
The beginning is VERY slow, I do warn you. But, that's what makes the whole plot, right? Also, some EllisxPaul. As for those of you who do not know who Paul is, shame on you. Haha.
Just kidding, but Paul is Keith's brother. Says Ellis in one of the Passing stories. I really didn't want him to be with Paul, because I cannot really picture such a minor minor character, but hopefully, my description will help me form a Paul. Haha.
Coach and Rochelle, I have not left out completely. I really tried to put them in sooner, but they wouldn't work out in any way. They're being very difficult, especially Rochelle. Sorry, not to fond of her. She's a klepto in my book. Stealin' my adrenaline and heath-kits and kills. DAMN, you suck, Rochelle. Lucky you're even in here.
Rofl, no. That's really how I feel. (: Coach is cool. I like Coach, but he was being difficult too. ANYWAY, before I make a novel before the story, I think I should give you a few warnings..
Summary: The hospital is Keith and Ellis' second home. One things leads to another and gives everyone problems. Including a very different Nick.
LAME SUMMARY, YES, THANKS FOR POINTING OUT. Haha. No, it's lame. I couldn't think of much more at 1 am. Waaaaaaaay past my bed time that night. Harharhar.
Words: 847. Short, for now.
Warnings: Nothing too bad. M for future chapters.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. At all. Maybe the idea, but that was from Nick. So.. Maybe not. Not too sure about the legal purposes there so.. I. Own. Nothing.

What happened? Where was he? Who was standing over him in this bland, white room?
"Ellis?" One of the two wondered. The man only stared, wide eyed, gaping.
"My baby," the woman cried out, quickly running out of the room. Again, just a blink.
"Ellis? Man, what did you an' Keith get into?" The first asked, trying to make him talk.
"Who- who are you?" he heard himself ask, feeling fatigue quickly washing over him. The man standing to his left opened and closed his mouth a couple times, looking like a fish gaping for water.
"Dave. I- I'm Dave," he told the man. He looked as if trying his best to remember the round face and the deep, hazel eyes. This so-called 'Dave' seemed somehow shady to Ellis. All he wanted was to be alone and relax. Ellis' forehead scrunched in thought, every question possible going through his head.
"Who?" he asked again, his brain failing to recognize the face. Dave's face fell with extreme hurt. He denied the doctor's words: Ellis could survive anything. Even amnesia. But Dave put a smile on, for Ellis' sake.
"Nothin'. But you really hurtchur head when you fell of the Screamin' Oak. Man, you an' Keith always do somethin' stupid," Dave said, filling Ellis in on what had happened to him. Ellis could only nod with his mouth slightly open, face directed in Dave's direction, but eyes seeming to fall to the right.
"An' who is 'Keith?'" Ellis asked once before Dave finally lost it. He tried to let out a laugh, but failed, knowing he'd lost his best friend completely.
"Knock knock," a voice called, then quickly entered a serious doctor. He was looking at the examination chart on his clipboard as he swiftly strolled through the room, planting his feet to the floor, standing at the foot of the bed. "Ellis Sorenson with a concussion to the head. Well, Ellis," the doctor began, now laying the papers back down on the clipboard and looked into Ellis' wondering eyes. "I know this is a stupid question, but how do you feel?" he asked, taking his glasses off and coming over to the opposite side of the patient than where Dave was standing. He set his clipboard down on the side table, as well as his glasses.
"Tired. Thirsty as hell, but mostly tired," Ellis said lightly, voice still hoarse from being unused for a long period of time. "How long was I out, doc?" he asked, head swirling to the side to get a better look.
"Eight months," he said as if nothing. Ellis' gasped, his eyes widening once more again. "Lift your arm please." Ellis did so, still not believing what he had just heard. The doctor laid his arm back down as he took out a mini light, opening Ellis' left eye first, the his right, checking the dilation. "Good. Can you tell me what year it is, Ellis?"
Ellis only started at him, not really knowing what to say. He couldn't remember. Hell, I'll jus' guess. "2008?"
"Okay," the doctor said while picking up his clipboard and writing something down as he descended on his chair. "And what is the last thing you remember?" he asked, then looked up into the patient's eyes.
"Uh," Ellis started, turning to Dave who only put his hands up and backed away while shaking his head. He hadn't known either?
Ellis looked back at his doctor, looking into his emotionless, deep green eyes through his glasses. When had he put them back on?
"Ellis?" the doctor asked, snapping him out of his trance. Ellis cocked his head and thought hard once more.
"I-" he began, then looked away at his jittery hands. His head was beginning to hurt and his eyes were becoming painful every time he moved them. His hand came up to his eye and pressed rough against it, trying to rub the pain away. "I don'know," he drawled heavily, then turned to the doctor once more and relaxed his body.
"Okay. That should be all. If you need anything, just call one of the nurses. Glad to see you awake." He began to get up from his spot when Ellis' hand touched the doctor's clothed arm. "Yes?" he asked.
"Could I git somethin' fer my head, ya think, Doctor..?" he began, lingering off so the doctor can fill him in on who he is.
"Nick. Just call me Nick," he informed lowly. "And yes, I will tell one of the nurses to get you something," he said as he made his way out from the room.
"You don' have a last name? Ev'rybody has a last name," Ellis told him, being as talkative as ever. Nick stopped.
"Sure, I have one. Just don't use it," he informed once more. Ellis only nodded, collecting every word that he produced from his mouth. He began to walk once more out of the room throwing an, "I'll tell someone about that headache."
To which Ellis' replied, "Thanks, Dr. Nick!"
Nick could only shake his head while exiting the room.
That was Chapter One. Please tell me if I should continue, if I had made any mistakes because I don't have a beta. Rofl.
Tell me what you think! :D
