Chapter Two: Memory loss

Spencer, Carlys older brother hadn't left her bedside since he had gotten to the General Hospital. After he had given Sam and Freddie, who were really concerned about Carly's bad condition he immediately got back to the room of his sister, held her tiny hand and said: "hey kiddo if you can hear me please just wake up, cause I need you and Freddie and Sam also need you. I mean who is going to stop me from doing anything stupid if aren't there anymore?"

Then he softly stroke his sister's hand and didn't want to let go of it at the moment. A few hours later Spencer fell asleep still sitting in the chair by Carly's bedside and was finally woken as by a nurse at it was already dark outside. Spencer was a little bit shocked as he looked at his watch on his right arm, so he hurried to his car that was still standing in the parking lot of the General Hospital in Seattle and then drove home in a very sad mood. Finally the next day had arrived and Sam, Freddie and Spencer weren't really in the mood to get out of their beds. While Sam and Freddie were forced by their moms to go to school, Spencer stayed in bed, because no one was there to get him out of it by force. Freddie and Sam didn't really pay attention the whole day at school, because the only thing on their minds was the deep concern for their best friend and Freddie was very much concerned about Carly, the girl he loved since 6th grade and still was in love with.

A couple of weeks went by and Carlys condition was sadly still the same, the doctors in the General Hospital didn't really knew why Carly still hadn't wake up from her deep coma that had to be induced because of the much blood that she had lost as a result of her severe internal injuries.

After school was finally over Freddie and Sam went to the General Hospital, to see if Carly's condition had improved after their last visit. Meanwhile Spencer was back from home at the hospital and again sat by his sister's bedside, he had only managed to sleep a few minutes in front of the tv after eating something in the kitchen. He yawned a little as a doctor entered the room and said: "Are you a relative of Miss Shay?" At first Spencer didn't realized that somebody was talking to him, but after he had finally gained back his composure he said: "Yes I'm Spencer Shay, her older brother Doctor."

"I need to talk to you about Carly's condition."

"Ok go ahead Doc." Spencer said cautiously and then was prepared to hear the worst from the doctor concerning the health of his little sister. After the doc had finished talking he left Spencer alone again, who was very shocked by what he just had heard and just couldn't believe that the doctors didn't knew when Carly was going to regain the memory she had lost because of the accident. He was so sad about the whole situation that even tear ran down his cheek, but as he heard steps coming closer to him he quickly wiped the single tear away.

Shortly after that Sam and Freddie entered the room also very sad looks on their faces, even if they hadn't heard the worst news about Carly's health condition yet. Finally Freddie spoke: "How's Carly?"

"Her condition hasn't sadly hasn't changed, and the worst is…" Spencer couldn't finish the sentence because another ran down his cheek and he started to cry, even as hard as he tried to get himself together again. Sam immediately went to Spencer, hugged him tight and was crying himself out on Sam's shoulder. While watching this whole scene, Freddie thought * Is Carly doing so badly?* after a couple of minutes Spencer had finally composed himself again and said: "The Doctors don't know when she will wake up and regain the memory she has lost because of the bad injuries. " Sam and Freddie didn't know what to say because of this bad news about their good friend; Freddie was hit hard by this because he feared that Carly would never be the same girl again.

Freddie, Sam and Spencer sat silent in the room for a couple of hours, all of them didn't know what to make of the whole situation and it depressed the three very much.

After a while Freddie said: "Sorry Guys I have to go now, I'm meeting with Chloe at the Groovy Smoothie and she really doesn't like it me being late."

"Ok cu later Freddo." Spencer then said who had calmed himself down again meanwhile. Sam and Freddie continued to stay in the hospital for a couple of hours, but even as they stayed quite a while Carly didn't woke up as they had hoped. A whole week had went by when Carly finally woke up out of her coma, at the time the hospital called the Shays residence Spencer was working on a new sculpture so he at first didn't react to the ringing noise in the living room.

But then he finally ran to the phone and picked it up in time: "Hey this Spencer Shay who is there?"

"Mister Shay here is Doctor Andrews; I would like to tell you very good news about your sister Carly."

Spencer was really excited to hear some good news about the health condition of his little sister so he then said totally excited: "What's the good news doc?"

"Carly has woken up out of the coma, but the bad news is..." But before the doc could finish his sentence Spencer loudly interjected: "That's so great! I'll be right on way to visit my little sister and her two best friends Freddie and Sam are going to come along." After Spencer had finished the doc said: "It would be good for the beginning if only one of you would come to visit her today, so she has the chance to get used to three of you.
