Three days later
Molly sat on the edge of the hospital's green leather reclining chair. On the other side of side of the room was Mrs. García reading a text off of her blackberry. Right now Molly was getting impatient, she needed to know when her memory will be back because she was tired of being confused and scared all the damn time. Molly gave the doctor five minutes to walk in the room. Five minutes later there was still nothing.
"Ugh! What is taking him so long?" Molly exclaimed. ía looked up at her daughter in surprise. "Did he forget we're in here!"
"Cálmate" Mrs. García said sharply. She always raised Molly to be poised and proper, but unfortunately Molly had a neurotic side she got from her father. Molly sighed and wrapped her arms around her chest. The doctor better hurry up or else. Luckily for Molly, the doctor showed up after two minutes. Finally.
"Hello ladies, how are we doing today?" the doctor asked not bothering to look from his clipboard to make eye contact. "What a douche." Molly thought angrily.
"Miss García have you had any flashbacks lately?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," Molly said "That's a good thing…right?"
"Yes, Miss García, it is. How many flashbacks have you had?"
"Five,"
"Just five?" the doctor asked. Molly frowned. What did he mean just five? Was she supposed to have more flashbacks?
"What do you mean just five?" ía asked. "Her memory is coming back isn't it?"
"Yes, but Molly got hit 4 weeks ago; most people get the minimum of 20 flashbacks during that time. Are you sure she's been doing things that she usually did before the accident?"
"Of course." ía said.
"Well then, I must tell you that her memory is coming back very slowly." The doctor informed. Molly frowned.
"So you mean to tell me my memory isn't going to come back soon?" she asked incredulously.
"That is exactly what I'm saying, but I must ask ía to leave the room." The doctor said. ía looked at the doctor then Molly and reluctantly left the room.
"Miss García can you tell me what type of flashbacks you've been having?" the doctor asked. Molly thought.
1. The time when I met my bestfriend, Kacey in second grade
2. The day my father died, I was eight
3. The time I met my ex bestfriend Grace
4. My first day of kindergarten
5. Falling down the stairs when I was 13
The doctor wrote all of these things down on his clipboard. "Do you remember anything about the night of the accident?" Molly shook her head
"No," she said sadly. 'But when I find out who did this to me I'm gonna make their life hell' Molly thought. The doctor wrote some more things on the clipboard.
"Okay then Molly, we're done with the questions, but now we're going to take an e-ray of your brain to see the brain activity up there." He said.
"Dude, I can't believe broke up with Stevie." Nelson said setting up his keyboard. Kevin scoffed.
"Please I can't believe you broke up with Stevie and you're still alive." The drummer said. Zander looked up from the song book he was writing in.
"Look guys can we stop talking about my break up with Stevie? I mean it's not like she and I aren't still friends." He said. Kevin and Nelson couldn't even believe the two were still friends, but they still decided to change the subject. Suddenly Kacey walked inside the band room.
"Are you guys talking about Zander and Stevie's break up?" she asked the 3 boys. Zander let out an exasperated sigh.
"We were, but we decided to change the subject." He said in an annoyed tone.
"I still think it's sad that you guys broke up; you were so cute together." Kacey said.
"Oh well," Nelson said "He's a free man now, and tonight we guys are going to spot out hot chicks, right Kev?"
"Hell yeah!" he exclaimed. Kacey gave him a glare and made sure no one saw. Kevin just shrugged his shoulders.
"Actually guys, Kevin is going to help me baby-sit my sister tonight." Kacey lied. Nelson sighed.
"Oh bummer, well I guess it's just me and Z-man tonight."
"Actually Nelson, I think I'm going to take a break from dating." Zander said. Nelson sighed.
"Fine," he said "I'm hungry does anyone have any cookies?"
"No, but our muy caliente abettor is bringing us some food from Burger King." Kevin said. Kacey sent another glare at he secret boyfriend and Zander tensed when he heard Molly was getting their food again.
"Guys, I'm telling Molly the truth, and none of you are going to stop me." He said sternly. Kacey dropped her microphone and Kevin and Nelson looked at him like he was crazy.
"HELL NO!" Kacey exclaimed "You cannot tell Molly the truth."
"Watch me; as soon as she walks through that door I'm telling her the truth." Zander said. He was determined, he was the leader of this band and he should have never let them talk him into doing something this terrible.
"Zander, I can't let you do this." Kacey said just as determined as Zander.
"I'm telling her." Zander said flatly.
"If you do it then you're betraying the group." Kacey protested. Zander looked at Kacey unbelievably, was she really this desperate to get back at Molly. The door to the band room opened. Kacey and Zander expected to see Molly, but it was just Stevie. Kacey sighed in relief.
"What's going on?" Stevie asked. Her eyes were red and puffy, so it was obvious she'd been crying. Zander felt a pang of guilt, but he ignored it. Kacey looked at Zander then at Stevie.
"He's going to tell Molly the truth." She said angrily. Stevie glared at him.
"Seriously, Zander, I thought we talked about this." The brunette said. Zander glared back at Stevie.
"Well I thought you were being cruel and unfair."
"SHE WAS CRUEL AND UNFAIR FIRST!" Stevie bellowed. Kacey put a hand on Stevie's shoulder to calm her down.
"I'm telling her." Zander said crossing his arms stubbornly. Kacey thought fast. She couldn't let Zander ruin their plan, so she went out on a limb and said
"If you tell then her I'm quitting the bad and so is Kevin." She said flatly.
"Say what, now?" Kevin said as he over heard this. Zander gaped at Kacey. Was this girl serious? Molly deserved to know the truth, but he couldn't loose Kacey and Kevin, so he sighed in defeat and said
"Fine, we'll keep up this charade, but it's gonna bite us in the ass one day; I feel it" Kacey and Stevie just rolled their eyes.
"Hi guys," Molly greeted as she walked inside the band room with a big Burger King bag in her hands. Zander couldn't help, but smile at how pretty she looks. It seems that every time he sees her, she get's prettier. Molly put the bag on the table and Kevin dashed towards the food with Nelson right behind him. Kacey rolled her eyes and sat down next to the two hungry boys.
"How are you Molly?" Zander asked. Molly grinned at him and said
"I'm fine, thanks."
"Thanks for getting our food my Mexicali angel." Kevin said. Kacey elbowed him in the ribs. Molly laughed "I don't mind guys."
"So Molly, I didn't see you in first and second period; what happened?" Nelson asked. Molly tensed as if he struck a nerve, then suddenly her grin turned into a frown.
"I went to the doctors and they said my memory won't be coming back soon." Molly said choking back tears, but no matter how hard she tried to hold back her tears a few managed to escape. Kacey and Stevie smiled to each other; seeing this new side if Molly was very fascinating. Kevin and Nelson just sat their uncomfortably not knowing what to do at the moment. Zander put a comforting hand on shoulder.
"Excuse me," Molly said before rushing out of the band room.
"Molly, wait!" Zander said having the sudden impulse to run after her. Stevie couldn't help but feel a bit jealous by this action.
Molly quickly walked down the empty halls of Bruster High. Some teachers were still in their class room grading papers and/or watching after the people who had detention. Molly walked faster, and took out her phone to call a cab, but she then heard Zander calling out her name. Molly turned around to see the raven haired boy running towards her. When he reached her, he embraced her into a tight hug. She began to cry into his neck.
"Hey, what's the matter?" he asked stroking her wavy black hair. Molly pulled away from him and sniffled.
"I'm never going to get my memory back, my life will always be full of confusion and it will never be normal ever again." She cried. Zander lifted her chin up to have her look at him. He gently wiped away her tears.
"Don't say that Molly, you'll get your memory back. It may take weeks, maybe months, but I know you'll get better." Zander said. Molly decided not to protest, maybe Zander was right. Zander pulled her into another hug, enjoying the feel of her tight body against his. Deep down, he still felt like scum. He didn't deserve to be hugging this girl right now. If she knew that he was taking advantage of her like this, she'd push him off of her and slap him right across the face. Yet still he felt as if he wanted her there in his arms forever.
"Hey Molly," he said. She answered him with a 'hmm'. He wasn't sure if he should do this, but if not now then when? He wanted to do this; Molly looked so beautiful right now and her body was warm against his. Zander ignored all of the voices in his head telling him not to do this and began to lean down. Her lips were right there and if he leaned in some more he would be able to taste herpiña colada lip gloss.
"Zander, wait." Molly said backing away from him. 'DAMN' Zander thought.
"What's the matter?" he asked. Molly sighed and began to play with her hands.
"I can't do this," She said looking up at him "You just broke up with Stevie."
"So," Zander said. Molly looked at him disbelievingly. As much as she wanted to kiss him, she couldn't. She knew the kiss wasn't because he liked her; it was because he wanted to get over Stevie. They had just broken up a few days ago and now he was trying to kiss her.
"Try to look me in the eye and tell me that you're over Stevie." Molly demanded. Zander looked in her innocent brown eyes, but he had to look away. He wasn't over Stevie, but he liked Molly.
"Exactly," Molly said flatly.
"Molly, I may not be over Stevie, but I like you." Zander said. A blush appeared on Molly's face, but then she quickly hid it.
"I like you too, but I think it's better if you waited a little while to get your head straight."
Zander wanted to say 'I'm fine', but he couldn't. He had to admit that Molly was right, and he had to get over Stevie before he got himself sucked into any other relationship.
That night Molly said goodnight to her Mom before getting ready for bed. As she brushed her teeth, she saw a picture of her and Grace on her bathroom mirror.
Molly was standing talking to Gravity 5, they were all glaring at her. "Is this even part of the school?" she asked the band. Stevie stood up in an intimidating fashion.
"Keep talking and your teeth won't a part of your face." the brunette said. Zander put a hand on her shoulder and pushed her down.
"Down girl," he said. Molly ignored Stevie's comment. She turned around to look at the PERF table
"HI GRACE," she hollered
"HI MOLLY," Grace hollered back "WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE? IS THAT EVEN SCHOOL PROPERTY?"
"APPEARATLY,"
Molly shook her head furiously. She was probably just imagining things. Kacey told her they left 'The Perfs' together. Molly rinsed her mouth out, and walked out of her bathroom and sat on the edge of her bed. She saw a big green photo album and picked it up. Her mom must have left it there. The album was filled with all types of pictures of her family, 'The Perfs', and her baby pictures. Molly decided to put the photo album down ad got to sleep. As she fell deeper and deeper into her slumber, images started coming to her like crazy. The images didn't stop they kept coming and coming and coming. Images of everything she's ever known or seen or thought about. They kept coming, and suddenly she woke up in the middle of the night panting. She remembered everything. Everything.
AN: Yup, Molly's got her memory back. Toon in next time to see what happens next. BTW, I appreciate all the nice reviews I've been getting.
