AN: School is starting soon, so I'll try to update as many stories as I can before my work load gets to be to much. Reviews make me happy =)
Vanessa peered into Dan's room and saw him flipping through magazines. He tore through the pages franticly. She thought about how she would enter. She didn't want to startle him, but wanted to surprise him. She just smiled before finally knocking.
"Hey there stranger." Vanessa jumped on the bed.
"Oh, hey there V."
"Anything new?"
"Well, I remember my start of junior year, or what I think is my junior year. Bits and pieces of Serena."
"Nothing major?"
"I wish. Just a gold dress she wore and me spinning her. The pictures help but I can't remember conversations. I'm seeing the doctor today, with Serena."
"That's a step, isn't it."
"Yea, I just feel so bad. Like I'm pushing her away. But I don't mean to."
"She just feels, afraid you know. Like if this tears you guys up. But you won't let that happen right?"
"No. I mean she's everything to me. Even if I can't remember it."
"I wish there was more guys like you out there. Even with the amnesia."
They both laughed and hugged each other. Vanessa said with him till Serena arrived.
Finally, after an hour of waiting Serena finally came. She called for Dan to meet her downstairs. Once he came down they were on their way to the hospital.
Serena sat in the waiting room for what felt like 6 hours. She felt the same way she felt when Dan was in the accident. Not knowing anything, and being so scared. She saw this couple that was pregnant waiting along with her. She suddenly smiled thinking that one day her and Dan could have that. When he remembered of course. If he remembers.
"Are you Dan's family?" A doctor tapped Serena on the shoulder.
"Well, kinda. We were dating, well we still are, I guess."
"I really should only tell this to family."
"I'm the only one here."
"Fine. The swelling is causing more pressure than we had anticipated. This may last longer than we intended."
Serena's heart sank into the floor. Bad news after bad news kept happening to her. Dan walked out of the examining room. She kept losing Dan piece by piece and her heart ached.
"What did he say?" Dan got Serena out of her trance/
"That we need to keep working."
"Was this honesty thing always hard with us?" Dan replied as her put on his coat.
"What do you mean?" Serena said in confused manner.
"He told me the truth, why couldn't you."
"To protect you. Now lets go out. I need to get your memory back or atleast some of it."
"It will happen Serena don't worry."
Serena and Dan took a walk in the park and Serena told Dan every aspect of their realtionship. From Blair, to their parents to Gorgina. She didn't leave a thing out. She want to lay everything on the line in hopes that somehow something would trigger it or make him remember her.
"So there it all is, in a nutshell."
"Wow."
"It's a lot to take in."
"It's just…"
"You hate me?"
"No, but why do we go through all of that when you could of told me the truth."
"Well, you weren't Mr. Honesty either."
"I get that but, why did we do that to each other, if we love each other."
Serena couldn't explain it. How do you explain hurting someone you cared about over and over. How do you even begin to explain your reasoning, even to a person who can't remember. She sighed and scratched her head.
"We've taken this walk before haven't we."
"Yea, on our first unoffical date."
"My dad's concert. You lied to your mom to get out of something. Then I said you were hot."
"You remember?"
"Yea. The the party where we saved Jenny. Then that cab ride."
"You mean the one with the wave."
"I was such a dork."
"A cute dork."
"Then I taught you how to play pool on our real date. After that kiss, things get hazy."
Serena grinned. She suddenly knew for a way to spark Dan's memory. She would recreate the pool date and see if it cause a reaction. Maybe allowing other events to suddenly flood Dan's brain. She grabbed his head and they both ran.
"I still don't get this game."
"I have to teach you again? The guy with amnesiaeven remembers how to play."
Dan postioned himself behind Serena. He wrapped his arm around her and pressed up againgst her. He slowly let his arm guide Serena's. She tossed her hair behind her and let Dan closer. She moved the stick and the ball went in the hole.
"Yay, I got it."
Serena jumped and hugged Dan. As she pulled her arm away Dan kissed her. She dropped the pool stick to the floor and grabbed his neck.
"Whoa."
"That good huh?"
"I can handle kissing and making out, but I don't wanna lead you on."
"Did you think I was just going to have you on the pool table. I'm much more classy."
"So you don't mind waiting on the sex?"
"Whatever you're comfortable with. You know you actually want to have sex with me before I was ready."
"I remember you suggesting a broom closet."
"I said I was classy, but I think on my toes to. Serena gave him a quick peck as her held the door open for her.
