"Simon!" Alvin yelled moving towards his brother. "Brittany! Call for help!" the red clad chipmunk called to his shoulder.
"I-I'm on it" Brittany said in a panicky way as she pulled her pink phone from her purse.
Jeanette rushed to her counterpart's side calling out his name "Simon!"
"Simon!" Alvin yelled again as he arrived.
"Don't touch him Alvin! He might have some fractured bones!" Jeanette warned.
Alvin stepped back a little then knelt beside his younger brother "What should we do?" he asked panicky.
"I-I don't know, let's just wait for help…" Jeanette tears began rolling down her cheeks. Simon reclines unconsciously at the road, his eyeglasses are already broken in half, and different bruises and cuts with bloods are can be seen at the top of his fur. After a moment, Theodore, Eleanor and Brittany came rushing down to the scene.
"I already called an ambulance" Brittany said kneeling beside Alvin. "I told you that crossing thing is not a good idea!" she yelled to her counterpart.
"Hey! Don't blame me! It's not my fault that crazy car suddenly appeared from nowhere!" Alvin yelled back.
"Stop fighting! You two are not helping!" Eleanor yelled at her older sister and Alvin.
"Simon! Simon!" the purple clad chipette yelled again, her tears are over flowing in her cheeks.
A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the scene and brought Simon to the nearest hospital. Once they arrived, Simon is quickly brought to the emergency room, a doctor and several nurses came to aid the blue clad chipmunk. "Call a veterinarian, and prepare everything for a surgery" the doctor commanded, the nurses nodded in response. After a few minutes, the veterinarian arrived and had a short conversation with the doctor before going to the operating room.
Jeanette weep quietly at one of the chairs at the hallway, her sisters tried their best to comfort her. "Jean, everything will gonna be fine" Eleanor said.
"Ellie's right, so stop crying now Jean" Brittany stroked her younger sister's back.
"It's all my fault, if I didn't rush down to the road and get that ticket, all of this wouldn't happen" the purple clad chipette said between sobs, her face shows regret.
"Jean, don't blame yourself for what happened to Simon" Brittany said.
"Simon's dream is right, something bad will happen to me today…" Jeanette said and buried her face to her paws "He sacrificed himself just to save me. I should be the one inside that operating room, not him!"
After a minute, Dave came rushing down towards the five "What happened?" he asked.
"Simon got caught in an accident" Brittany said.
"A-Accident? How?" Dave exclaimed.
Alvin, Theodore, Brittany and Eleanor looked at each other, having a mental conversation. "Well…" Brittany started but was cut off by her weeping sister "I'm sorry Dave! It's my entire fault…"
"Would someone explain to me what happened?" Dave asked in a baffled expression.
"It goes like this…" Brittany started telling Dave about what happened earlier that day, "…and that's what really happened" the pink clad chipette ended after a minute of explaining.
Dave sighed after hearing Brittany's tale, he turned to Jeanette and knelt down "It's not your fault Jeanette, it's nobody's fault" He sighed again then stood "I guess all we can do now is to wait".
Alvin kept on pacing back and forth in the hallway making Brittany annoyed "Would you stop that Alvin? You're making me dizzy".
Alvin just ignored his counterpart and continued his restless movement. It's been three hours since the doctor entered the operating room. After a few more minutes, the red light wore off, and the doctor emerged from the door. Dave immediately got up to confront the doctor.
"Are you Mr. Seville?" the doctor asked, still wearing his surgical mask.
"Yes I am" Dave replied.
"I want to have a word with you for a minute" the doctor said as he escorted Dave at the end of the hallway.
"How is Simon?" Dave asked worried.
"I should say that the surgery is a success" the doctor said, taking off his mask and gloves.
"Thanked God" Dave lifted his head high up, taking a quick glance at the ceiling.
"We managed to fix him up, but we still need to run some test for him" the doctor explained "however, there's a little problem" he added.
Dave's eyes grew wider by the time he heard the word 'problem' "Wh-What's the problem?" he stammered.
"Well, due to the strong impact from the car accident, it damages a portion of his brain, thus resulting into a temporary amnesia" the doctor explained "but don't worry, his memory loss is only minimal and not that serious"
"What do you mean?" Dave said.
"Well, it means that he can still remember some from his past, and others are still a blur, and in rare cases, he'll completely forgot about someone or something from his past"
"You mean there's a chance he wouldn't remember any of us?" Dave asked.
"Sorry but I can't answer that question, all we can do now is wait for the him to wake up to see the results" the doctor apologized "but, I have an advice just in case, bring some of his personal belongings or talk to him regularly about his past, that'll help him to remember" the doctor looked at his clock "I need to go now, there's still other patients that I need to attend to"
"Oh ok, thank you very much and I'll remember your advice" Dave said shaking the doctor's left hand.
Dave goes back where the five are waiting "Dave, what did the doctor said? Please tell me that it's not that serious" Alvin said hopping into one of the chairs.
"Well, the doctor said that Simon is fine for now, but he also said that Simon will be having a temporary amnesia" Dave said to the red clad chipmunk.
"Amnesia? Does that mean he will not remember any of us?" Alvin asked.
"We'll see after he wakes up" Dave said as he escorted the five into Simon's ward.
When they arrived, they all looked down on Simon's unconscious body, different tubes are connected to his arm and an oxygen mask rested in his face. Jeanette sat beside her counterpart at the top of his hospital bed; her paws are locked into his.
"Dave, I'm starting to get hungry" Theodore grumbled rubbing his tummy.
"Ok, we'll get some food, would someone want to come with us?" he asked.
"I'll stay here, in case he wakes up" Jeanette said in a low tone. Dave nodded and left with Alvin, Brittany, Theodore and Eleanor.
Jeanette sighed, grasping her counterpart's paw. "I'm sorry Simon, I didn't want this happen" her eyes started to well up "If you can hear me, please wake up" she said but got no response from the blue clad chipmunk.
Suddenly, she felt a weak squeeze in her paws. She looked over Simon; his eyes flickered as it adjusted to the scenery around him "Hmmm…" the blue clad chipmunk groaned.
Jeanette's eyes grew wider, and then quickly grabbed her purple phone to call her sister "Hello? Britt? Simon is already awake" she said.
"We're on our way" the other line said before hanging up. She put her phone down and quickly run towards the hospital phone, she dialed the nurse station "hello? Nurse? The patient is already awake, please call the doctor"
"Yes ma'am" the nurse said before hanging up. A minute later, Dave and the five together with the doctor came inside the ward. The doctor quickly checked the blue clad chipmunk.
The doctor turned to Dave "His vital signs are now normal, it's a miracle he's recovering fast from his physical injuries" he said.
"That's a relief, how about his amnesia?" Dave asked.
"Don't worry about it, he'll recover from it too soon enough. I need to go" the doctor said.
"Thank you very much" Dave said shaking the doctor's hand and escorting him to the door.
Back at the bed, Simon is now starting to wake again "Ughh" the blue clad chipmunk groaned.
