Losing Your Memory
Chapter 2
Damon looked upon Elena's face wondering what the hell was happening to his wife as he called the doctor into the room. The doctor gestured for him to step outside as he spared one last look at Elena before he exited the room wondering what the hell was going on. What had happened to his wife? And would it ever be right again?
"Would you care to explain to me what the hell is happening with my wife?"
The doctor hesitated for a brief second before answering Damon's question.
"I'm sorry to tell you this Mr. Salvatore, but your wife suffered severe memory loss from the accident."
"What does that mean? Are you trying to tell me that my wife can't remember who I am? That she doesn't comprehend who she is?"
The doctor nodded as Damon sucked in a breath.
"Will she get better? How serious is this?"
"That's all up to her. I'm sorry if the answer is vague, but it's the best one we have for cases like this."
"Elena isn't one of your stupid petty cases. She's possibly one of the best people i've ever met. The woman I married and you're standing here and telling me that somehow and in someway she doesn't remember that girl that she once was? How does a brain do that? How does it make you forget who you are within the span of an instant?"
"It just does Damon and unfortunately there's nothing we could do about it except wait. We're gonna keep her here overnight for observation and set her up with a specialist that will go to your house a few times a week to help her cope, but that's the best we could do. I'm sorry, but we're discharging her in the morning."
"So what you're saying is that I'm basically alone is this?"
"You're never alone Damon. Just remember that."
Damon sighed as the doctor left making him wonder what was going to happen next.
