That can't be true!
Confused, the friends stood in Logan and Camille's apartment and looked at the two.
"So, why did you call us?," Lucy asked.
"We have news," Logan said.
"Now don't tell us that you are engaged. Because that would be too much. After all, you only lived together for a month," Kendall said. Camille smiled. "No, that would be a bit too fast. It's all about something else."
"What?," Carlos asked impatiently. Camille looked at Logan and he nodded to her smiling. She took a deep breath and then said, "I am pregnant."
At first there was silence. Apparently, the others hadn't yet fully understood it. But slowly, movement came into the matter. While James and Carlos suddenly began to cheer and clap, Kendall, Jo, Alexa and Lucy embraced the young parents. Everyone was excited. They distributed drinks, talked and laughed. Logan and Camille sat close together and smiled at each other as they talked to the others.
After about two hours Logan heard his cell phone vibrate. He pulled it out and looked at the display. He knew the number. It was his therapist, Dr. Carter. Logan apologized briefly and disappeared into the hallway. Then he went on, "Hello?"
"Yes, good day, Logan. I hope I don't disturb you."
"No everything is fine. What's the matter?" Logan heard Dr. Carter sigh softly. "Well, I have news for you."
"What news?," Logan asked. He didn't like the tone in the therapist's voice.
"It's Jay Martens."
"What about him?," Logan asked aggressively. For a moment, silence was at the other end, then Dr. Carter said, "He was released from the psychiatry. He is free again."
There was nothing to feel from the good mood any more. Instead, they sat or stood and looked at Dr. Carter, who was sitting in the middle. Finally Logan said with a quiet voice, "Dr. Carter, please, explain how that can be. That is impossible."
"It was said that he would be there for an indefinite time. But indefinite time certainly doesn't mean a year, does it?," added Kendall. Dr. Carter nodded. "I know. But in this case the matter is somewhat different. I start with the beginning. So: A week ago there was a dispute between Jay and two other patients. The cause or the reason I don't know. In any case, the doctors intervened and prevented a fight. Two days later the two patients harass again to Jay. This time, however, there was no doctor nearby. The two took advantage of this and began a fight. They pushed him to a staircase. Jay tried to fight back, losing the balance. He fell down the stairs and became unconscious. When he woke up in a hospital, the doctors examined him and asked what had happened. Shortly after that, I received a call." Dr. Carter looked straight into Logan's eyes. "Jay Martens has lost all his memory. He can't remember anything. Except his name and his family."
The silence was almost intolerable. Finally, Jo said, "But that's normal. Many people lose their memory after certain falls. But it all comes back."
Dr. Carter nodded to her. "You're right in the normal case. But the doctors have investigated everything. Even some specialists have been commissioned. But the diagnosis is clear: Jay will never regain his memory again. For this reason, he was dismissed. He can't remember anything. He is, so to speak, a different person."
"I just can't believe it," Camille replied calmly. Dr. Carter nodded again. "That is why I come to the second point. It would be better if you would see it for yourself. If you agree, I would meet with you and Logan tomorrow. And Jay will be there too. Then you can..."
"No!"
Dr. Carter looked at Logan. The others did the same. Logan looked angry. He stood up. "You can forget it! I will never have this guy again in my life! After all that he did. No, without me."
"But Logan, if..."
"No, I don't want to hear your explanations! The topic is finished! Goodbye." Logan turned and disappeared into the bedroom. Dr. Carter looked thoughtfully at the young man. It didn't matter to him that Logan had shouted at him. He was already used to by patients. He'd guessed it was a risk to tell Logan about it. The boy hadn't worked through everything that had happened in the last year and a half. He didn't want to see Jay, Carter could understand it. But nevertheless it would be the best. He looked at Camille. She looked worried toward the bedroom. Although Jay had done much more to her than Logan, she was perfectly quiet, while Logan was angry. But it wasn't only about anger, but also about fear. Logan was afraid of the meeting. Sighing, Dr. Carter stood up. "I think I'll go."
"I'll take you to the door." Camille also stood up and accompanied the therapist. At the door he said, "I know it's not very pleasant, but I had to tell you about it."
"It's OK."
"I know you have a strong personality, Miss Roberts. Logan told me a lot. What do you think of my proposal?"
"I'm afraid, but I think you're right."
"Will you talk to Logan?"
Camille nodded. "I'll try it. But I can't promise anything."
Dr. Carter pulled out a card and handed it to Camille. "If you talked to Logan and you made a decision together, call me."
"I will."
"Oh, so when I called, it sounded as if something was celebrated here. I'm right?"
Camille smiled. "Yes, I'm pregnant. We celebrated that."
Dr. Carter looked slightly shocked at her. "Oh, if I had known that, I would have waited until tomorrow. I'm sorry I bothered you."
Camille shook her head. "You don't have to apologize. And thank you for coming by."
Dr. Carter nodded to her. "No problem." He shook her hand. "I wish you a nice day. And, of course, congratulation to the pregnancy."
"Thanks. I will contact you."
