She opened the door and walked in to the room. She had kept up with his career and she was proud that he'd made all his dreams come true. Part of her would always be that 19 year old girl who adored him. But as the years went on, she'd silently resigned herself to the fact that she hadn't been what he wanted at all.

She walked over to the bed and grabbed his hand, a spark running through her just like it always had. She closed her eyes and bit her lip.

"Hey. I know you probably weren't expecting to see me. But Lindsay called Aubrie and said she needed us to come. You can't leave her Mike. She needs you."

Lindsay headed to the cafeteria and saw John, Randy and Aubrie sitting at a table. "Tess is sitting with Mike." She said as she sat down.

"Lindsay, your brother is a coma and you're still playing matchmaker?" Aubrie laughed.

"I can't help it. I like Maryse, I do but she isn't for my brother. Tess is always been his soul mate." Lindsay replied as she took John's hand. "I just feel that Tess can help him wake up."

"I hope so, baby." John said kissing her. They had been dating for the last three years when they met at a photo shoot. He hadn't known she was Mike's sister until their first date.

"So, Randy, you know Aubrie here is single." Lindsay said before taking a fry off of John's plate. "And Aubrie, Randy is single too."

"Stop matchmaking." Aubrie laughed although she had to admit the thought of her and Randy was appealing.

"Can't help it. I want everyone to be as happy as I am." She said smiling sadly.

"Who isn't happy?" Aubrie asked.

"Mike."

Tess sat there holding Mike's hand silently. He hadn't made any movement to wake up and she was beginning to worry that he wouldn't. She sat on the side of the bed and sighed.

"I should have known you'd be as stubborn about this as you were everything else. Getting you to agree to anything is like pulling teeth." She said laughing.

"Not true. I was pretty well set on being in love with you from the start." She lifted her head and looked at him. He was awake and he smiled at her.

"You're awake! How...are you feeling?"

"I've felt better. Felt worse too though." She nodded.

"Let me call the doctor and Lindsay. She has been so worried."

"She worries too much." He replied.

She smiled and headed out to get the doctor. Once he was examning Mike, She called Lindsay from her cell phone.

"Tess, is something wrong?" Lindsay asked when she picked up.

"No, Mike's awake."

"What?" Lindsay said with a smile.

"He's awake."

"I'm on my way." Lindsay hung up the phone. "Mike's awake." She told the group.

They headed upstairs as the doctor was examning him.

"Okay, everything seems normal." The doctor said to him. "Do you remember what happened?"

"Yeah." Mike answered then thought. "No, I don't remember."

"Do you know what year it is?"

"2001."

"Mike, what is the last thing you remember?"

"Talking to Tess about leaving for training."

"Alright. You just rest now okay? I'm going to talk to your sister and your friends." Mike nodded. The doctor stepped out in the hallway and sighed.

"How is he?"

"He seems to have selective amnesia. He doesn't remember anything about the last eleven years."

"What do you mean?"

"I asked him what year it was and he told me 2001."

"So he's lost 11 years of his life?"

"I'm afraid so. This happens sometimes with traumatic brain injuries. His memory could return. Then again, it may never return."

"So what do you suggest we do?"

"He needs to be in an environment that he's comfortable with. He needs to be around things and people he knows."

"So you're suggesting I take him home?"

"Yes. He needs time off and he needs to heal in his own time."

"Okay." Lindsay walked back into the room with Tess, Aubrie, Randy, and John.

"Hey sis." Mike said to her. "I know Aubrie and Tess. But who are they?"

"Oh, this is John, my boyfriend. And this is Randy. He's a friend." Lindsay said to him.

"Okay. When did you break up with Austin?"

"A while ago." She said uncomfortably. She hated lying to her brother. They never lied to each other. "So, the doctor said I could take you home."

"Great, I want to get home."

"I will have to make the plane reservations."

"Plane."

"Yeah, we are in LA."

"Why?"

"For training." John said. "You asked the girls to meet you here. Randy and I are training with you." Randy looked over at John and nodded.

"Yeah and you'd been going on and on about them."

"So we're friends?" Mike asked.

"Yeah. We're friends."

"Then how long have you been dating my sister?"

Lindsay looked at John. "Not long. We met while you were training."

"Oh okay." Mike smiled before turning to Tess. He was just about to say something when the door opened.

"Mike, you're awake." Maryse said walking in and going to hug him.

"How did she get in here?" Lindsay whispered to John.

"I don't know." He said back.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Mike asked her.

"Maryse, can I speak with you?" Lindsay asked pulling her into the hallway.

Maryse huffed and crossed her arms. "What?"

"He doesn't remember anything about the last 11 years. Selective amnesia. We're taking him home. To Ohio. If you love him, you'll let him be and let his mind have time to recover."

"He doesn't remember me?"

"No."

"That's bullshit. You're lying."

"I'm not lying. He doesn't remember you. He thinks it's 2001. And he didn't know you then. He thinks he just met John and Randy for Christ's sake. Stay away from him and I will text you every day and keep you updated."

"Fine." Maryse knew she was fighting a losing battle with Lindsay. She wouldn't let her see him again. "I'll go but I expect to be updated."

"I will update you." Lindsay watched as Maryse left. She breathed a sigh of relief that Maryse was gone. She headed back into the room. "So, once the doctor releases you, we can head home."

"Who was that blond?" Mike asked. "No one in here could tell me."

Lindsay looked around at the group. "She's a model that was in a photo shoot I was doing out here."

"You're an assistant right?"

"I was but I do some freelancing." She smiled. It was hard to lie to her brother.

"Well Mr. Mizanin, I think we can discharge you in a few days."

"Great." Mike smiled. "So why can't I remember some things?"

"Selective amnesia. I think it will come back to you. I told your sister and your friends that you just needed some time and to be home."

"Thanks." He turned to his sister. "So, is everyone coming back to Ohio?"

"John and Randy have to work it out with their boss so for now, it's just you and us girls." She laughed. "Mom and dad are excited we're coming home."

"I'm excited to see them too. It will be good to be home for a while." He said looking at Tess. She smiled at him. "So where am I going to stay? I gave up my apartment when I left."

"You hit your head pretty hard didn't you? Tess kept the apartment. You can stay with her."

"Great." He smiled. "So, I'm training with these guys?" He said pointing to John and Randy.

"Yeah, you all are training." Lindsay replied. She wondered how long they could pretend. She didn't want anything to hurt Mike but surely he would noticed the date and how much older they looked now. He might have amnesia but he wasn't stupid.
