Chapter Two~

Austin laid in his hospital bed talking and giggling with a nurse when Dez came in the next day.

"Hey buddy!" he smiled, "I brought you pancakes."

Austin sat up straight and accepted them happily.

"I don't think Austin's suppose to have any outside food." the nurse said.

"PLeeeeeeeeeease?" Austin looked at her with puppy-eyes.

"Fine but don't let anyone else see." the nurse told him sternly and left.

"What's up Dez?" Austin asked once his best friend sat down in the visitor's chair.

"...You really don't remember Ally Dawson?" Dez asked sadly.

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Austin threw his hands up in the air in frustration without knocking over his pancakes.

"Uh maybe because before you hit your head, you two used to be really good friends." Dez gestured randomly with his hands.

"Then why don't I remember her?" Austin matched his gesture.

"I don't know!" Dez grabbed his head like he was going crazy, "The only theory is that you're Austin Moon from an alternate reality when Ally Dawson never existed and the real Austin Moon is in your place right now!"

"Oooor..." Trish appeared in the door, "Austin hit his head way too hard and got selective amnesia."

"What now?" Dez looked confused.

"Selective amnesia." Trish tossed a file at them, "ALLY did a report on it once. You know, ALLY! The girl who wrote your first song. And the one after that. And the one after that. And the one after-"

"I get it Trish." Austin said, "Ally was important."

He skimmed through the report quickly but lost interest.

"But if Ally was so important than why don't I remember her?" he asked, "Maybe she's just not as important as you guys say she is."

Dez slapped him dramatically then shook him violently.

"ALLY DAWSON WAS ONE OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS!" he yelled in the patient's face, "HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER?"

"Dez!" Ally appeared and grabbed the red-head off of Austin, "What is going here?"

"Oh look it's ALLY!" Trish emphasized the girl's name, "ALLY DAWSON! Your songwriter!"

"He still doesn't remember?" Ally frowned.

"Look I'm sure that you and I were really great friends before I hit my head, but I can't remember you now." Austin told her, "So maybe you just weren't that important to me."

Everyone was shocked that he could say that so openly. Ally held back her tears as she ran out of the room. Trish ran after her. Dez sat back down and stared at Austin oddly.

"What are you doing?" Austin looked at him uncomfortably.

"Trying to figure out why you can't remember the girl you like." Dez said mostly to himself.

"Wait!" Austin exclaimed, "I like the untight, rule enforcer from Sonic Boom?"

"Yeah." Dez said in a thoughtful tone, "You were going to tell her that night too."

"Really?" Austin smiled, "She is kind of cute."

"No that's not why you like her." Dez replied, "Well, not the ONLY reason."

"Can we talk about something else please?" Austin laid his pillow back onto the pillow.

"Sure." Dez replied. They remained silent for a while.

"Hey, Dez." Austin broke it, "There's something that keeps appearing in my head."

"What is it?" Dez looked up hopefully.

"A giant, neon yellow 'A'." Austin said, "Does that mean anything?"

"." Dez thought, "Nope. Sounds familiar though."

"Maybe it's something that me and Ally used to see all the time." Austin sat up.

"Nooooope. That's not it." Dez replied. Austin fell back into his pillow in defeat. Suddenly he picked up the pancakes Dez brought him and flung them at the wall in frustration.

"WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why can't he remember?" Ally angrily moved boxes in her dad's shop, "I practically made his career!"

"Ally, I know you're mad but it's really not his fault." Trish tried to comfort her.

"Yeah but did you hear what he said?" Ally looked disappointed, "'Just not that important' were his exact words."

"Maybe it'll just take some time to remember you." Trish replied.

"Yeah but..." Ally trailed off, not wanting to complete her thought.

"But what?" Trish pressed.

"But what if he's right?" Ally finished, "What if I really wasn't as important to him as I thought I was?"
