Chapter six

At the hospital – 9:15 Am

Naomi

I started to hear something. It felt like waking up slowly from a long deep sleep. I heard my mum's voice and tilted my head towards the sound. I opened my eyes slowly because my eyes were not accustomed to the light.

"Mum...?" I asked quietly.

"I'm here love." Mum answered as she kissed my hand.

Then I saw someone else beside mum, a short girl with red hair. She was beautiful. She reminded me of someone, but I could not remember who...

"Naomi..." She said my name... 'Does she know who I am?' Her voice was husky and rough, it was absolutely beautiful. The sound of her voice gave me a strange feeling inside. It tingled inside my body. There was something more I felt at the sound of her voice... But what was it?

"Who is she?" I asked my mum, hoping she would have a good answer.

But after my question both the red-haired girl and my mum looked confused at me, as if I had said something wrong...

"You don't remember me?" The redhead asked.

I shook my head and saw her eyes going watery. 'Am I supposed to?' The red haired girl looked at me with hurt and confusion in her eyes.

"I'm Emily…" Then she just turned around and walked out of the room.

The nurse that stood beside the bed looked shocked at my mum.

"Oh my God… I think she has lost her memory…!" The nurse said and ran out of the room.

I looked around and felt strange. 'Had I lost my memory?' No… I felt totally normal. I remembered my mum so I couldn't have lost my memory. I heard a snore from the corner of the room and looked up. A strange man sat in a chair sleeping.

"Mum who is he?" I asked my mum, whom looked at me even more confused than before.

"That's Kieran. He is my… new boyfriend…" She smiled unconvincing.

"He lives with us as well?" I asked. It would not be the first time mum allowed someone else to live in our house. As I could recall we had at least five people staying at our house at the moment.

"No hun… I threw the rest of them out. It's just him right now…"

My mum's answer surprised me. 'She had finally emptied our house…?'


At the hospital

Emily

'She can´t remember me...' The reality sank in with such force that it gave me a headache. What was I supposed to do if she had forgotten me? A nurse came walking towards me across the hallway. She stopped in front of me.

"We are going to run some tests on her to see how much she has forgotten. I'll tell you when we are done." She smiled at me and walked into the room Naomi was in followed by another nurse and a doctor.

I didn't want to see Naomi at the moment. So I sank down on a hard sofa in the hallway. I put my feet up on the sofa and wrapped my arms around my knees.

Twenty minutes later the nurse that had talked to me earlier came out. She had worried eyes and something told me that I wasn't going to get any good news.

"She has forgotten some things here and there... All of her memories from her childhood are left and most of her memories from elementary school are left. But the last three years seems to be very diffuse." The nurse sighed deeply and gave me a comforting pat on my shoulder as she walked away.

It reminded me of when Effy lost her memories to John Foster. But this time Naomi wasn't left whit love. She had forgotten me completely… I think I sat there the whole morning because Gina came out and sat down beside me.

"Hey are you still here? … They said that her memory can come back, if we just let her know everything slowly. And by telling her about life she can probably recall everything." Gina smiled at me and gave me a hug.

I didn't feel like smiling so I just hugged her back.

"Want some lunch?" Gina looked at me.

I just shook my head. I didn't feel like eating at that time. All I wanted to do was to tell Naomi everything about us. But I knew that I couldn't risk the fact that she wouldn't believe me. If she didn't believe me I could have ruined us by telling her.

"You won't tell her about us? She won't believe it…" I looked at Gina. The last thing I wanted is for her to think that WE were something that had never existed.

"No I promise hun. But you should get to know her... You know from the start" She gave me a faint smile and walked away towards the hospital café.

I knew she was right. I knew I needed to get to know her all over again. If I did she would hopefully remember the rest by herself… I didn't know if it would work. But at least I now had a plan.

But I wanted some time to think so I went back to the caravan. As I got back I met my dad. He had a big smile on his face and came straight up and gave me a hug.

"We have bought a new house!" He let me go and when he saw my face his smile disappeared.

"What is it love?" He asked confused.

I hugged him again and started to cry. I felt so hopeless about everything, Naomi and I had worked things out. Now that was useless because she couldn't even remember me. 'Life is so fucking unfair!'

"Naomi… she can't remember me…" I cried out as I hugged him harder.

I saw from the corner of my eye how Katie stood in the doorway with mum looking over Katie's shoulder at me and dad.


At the hospital – 5 Pm

Naomi

I had fallen asleep after the doctor's examination of me. He and mum had asked me questions and as I answered the doctor scribbled down something on a piece of paper. I didn't know what that was good for. They had asked me questions about my relationships and school stuff mostly. I didn't feel like arguing because I realized that every time I got upset or tried to think too hard my head started to hurt like hell.

I looked around and realized that the hospital hall was empty. The doctor had told me that I was there because of a concussion and that I had lost a lot of my memory. Mum had told me about my last years at the Roundview College. As she had told me about it I remembered some names and I felt some feelings. But it all felt so unnatural, as if I felt something someone else had experienced. I wanted my memories back. I just didn't how to do it.

I wanted to stretch my legs so I got up from the bed and walked towards the hallway. As I opened the door I almost walked into someone. I looked at a tall brown haired girl with fishnet stockings and a gray tunic. 'I remember her… I think I do…'

"Ef…f….y?" I asked, not knowing if I was right.

"Hi Naomi. How are you?" She looked through mascara heavy eyelashes at me.

"I'm fine. I just don't really remember you…" But I felt something. It felt like if she knew something about me that no one else knew…

She laughed and looked at me.

"So you have lost your memory?"

"I guess so…"

"Well I know all about it." She walked pass me and sat down on the bedside. Then she gestured for me to come and sit next to her.

So I did. I sat down by her side and looked at her. It felt quite awkward because she felt like a stranger to me. But she acted as if she had known me a long time, which she probably had. I probably knew her as well but I couldn't shake off the feeling that she knew something about me no one else knew, and I probably didn't know it either. That scared me a lot.

"Do you know who I am?" Effy asked after a moment o silence.

"No, nor´t really." I answered trying to think hard. But my head stopped me after just a few seconds of effort.

"I'm Effy. I went to the same Collage as you, Roundview College. I fucked Cook even though I loved Freddie. My best friend is Pandora or Panda as everyone calls her. We went to the same pajamas party and last time you saw me was probably at the police station after Freddie's death…"She paused and looked at me.

I tried to take it all in. Some pictures appeared in my head of her in a hallway, probably at the collage. The name Cook made me smile and the name Freddie gave me an uneasy feeling… I knew he was dead. I remembered that John Foster killed him. But Cook didn't fit into my memories. All my memories involved the red haired girl from this morning whom was called Emily, I didn't know why but they did. And when Effy told me about a pajamas party my body exploded with feelings and then I couldn't remember anything more, my head went blank.

"Too much?" She asked because I had become silent.

"No, I think I know you." But it still felt as if I remembered someone else's experiences. But maybe that was the way the past was going to feel when I remembered it…
