A/N: I do own any characters from Glee or the show Glee. I also do not own any songs by Jesse McCartney. I do own however the character Jamie and Jane.
Chapter 10: Life as she knows it
All of a sudden, Jane knocked her purse onto the floor. When she came back up from picking it up, she saw Jamie's eyes open, and looking around the room with a panicked look on her face. Jane's eyes widened. "Jamie?" Jamie turned to Jane and just stared at her. Jane kept hitting the nurse/doctor button rapidly. "Jamie, I'm so happy you're awake! I've really missed you! Oh Dani's going to be thrilled!" Jane said happily. A nurse and doctor ran into the room. "What's going on?" The doctor asked. "Jamie just woke up!" Jane exclaimed to the doctor. "Alright, I'm going to ask you to leave for a moment. I'll come out to you with the details." The doctor told Jane. Jane nodded and walked out of Jamie's room. The first thing Jane needed to do was call Dani. She felt guilty calling Dani on her honeymoon with Santana, but what other choice did she have? Jane dialed Dani's number on her cell phone.
"Hello? Jane what's going on? Is something wrong with Jamie?" Dani asked.
"Hey Dani, everything is actually amazingly good! Jamie just woke up from her coma!"
"Oh my God! How is she? Is she asking for me? Oh my God I'm the most terrible sister in the world! I'm not there when she woke up! I need to come back now—"
"Dani! Calm down! Jamie hasn't said one word to me. The doctor is examining her now. When he gives me the details, I'll call you back, okay? Relax, things can only get better from here, right?"
Dani sighed. "You're right. Call me as soon as you get the news."
"Okay! I will."

Jane waited for about 15 minutes before the doctor came out. "You were in there for a long time. Is everything alright?" Jane asked nervously. "I wish I could say they were. Jamie is suffering from memory loss. She didn't know her birthday, didn't know why she was here or what was going on, she didn't even know Jamie was her name. Now, the only option we have is just giving her memories to hopefully retrigger everything in her mind. Pictures, or stories will really help tremendously. I know this is really hard to comprehend, but if you or Dani have any questions, don't hesitate to call me." The doctor told Jane. Jane nodded at him and he walked away. Jane sighed and called Dani back.
"Hey, what's going on with Jamie?" Dani asked excitedly.
"Dani, there's no easy way to say this, but –"
"But what? Is Jamie alright?"
"I was going to tell you that she has memory loss. We have to refill her mind with everything: Who we are, memories, stories, pictures, everything. I'm just as shocked."
There was no response on the answer on the end.
"Dani? You there?"
"I don't know what you said to Dani, Jane but she's really upset! What did you tell her?" Santana asked.
"I just told her the truth: Jamie has memory loss. We have to refill her memory with everything. I'm going back in her room. Just let this sink in and call me when you're coming back." Jane said, hanging up the phone.
Jane walked back in Jamie's room and sat in the chair next to her bed. "Hey Jamie." Jamie turned to Jane with an emotionless look. "Do you know who I am?" Jamie shook her head no. "My name is Jane. I'm your best friend. We met in middle school, in 8th grade." Jane smiled at Jamie. "W—Why are you here?" Jamie asked. "I'm here for you. Did the doctor tell you why you're here?" Jane asked. "Yeah, he said that I had gotten shot twice." Jamie told her. "That's right. You had surgery and the damage was pretty bad, so they put you in a medically induced coma to help heal you more quickly." Jane told her. "Where's my family?" Jamie asked. "Well, your only sister is on her honeymoon with her wife, and your parents… Well Jamie, your parents are the ones who shot you. So they are in jail now, and can't hurt you anymore." Jamie nodded sadly. "When is my sister coming back?" "Soon, I promise."
Jamie looked around the room for a while. "What else can you tell me?" Jamie asked. "Well, what do you want to know?" Jane replied. "Well… How old am I?" Jamie asked. "You're 18 years old, but turning 19 soon." Jane said with a smile. "Okay… Are you the same age?" "Yes I am." "What things do I like?" "Well, the thing you love to do most is sing and dance." "Can you show me?" Jamie asked. Jane blushed. "Well, I'm not as good as you are, but I'll try. This is your favorite song." Jane was going to sing Can't let you go by Jesse McCartney.
Yeah... Oh, I just can't let you go Whoa, I just can't let you go Oh, I just can't let you go So many times I've tried
My heart was jumpin' for her
My head was spinnin' circles
My tongue was tied
I tried, but couldn't find the words
She had them eyes of fire
The ones you can't put out
She saw a sucker for lovin'
And turned my world around
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, I just can't let you go
One look in my condition
I see you in my dreams
And every night I fight
To keep my sanity
She's like a roller coaster
And I'm afraid of heights
But still there's nothing to stop me
From getting off this ride
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, I just can't let you go
To get her out of my life
But she knows I'm addicted
To the taste of her lips
My strength is drifting away
My body's aching with pain
I can't hold on
I can't hold on any longer
Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, I just can't let you go
Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, I just can't let you go
Jamie looked at Jane with wide eyes. "That… Was… Awesome!" Jamie said. "Really? You liked it, huh?" Jane asked. "Yeah! I can't believe I did that kind of stuff!" Jane laughed. "Well that's the kind of person you are, Jamie." Jane said sitting on the edge of Jamie's bed. "You're smart, funny, awesome, pretty…" Jane said, getting closer and closer to Jamie's face. She was about to kiss her, when Jamie moved away. "Jane? What were you doing?" Jamie asked with concern. "I'm sorry. I just… I forgot to mention, that I'm your best friend, but I'm also your… girlfriend." Jane spat out. "My girlfriend? I'm dating a girl? Isn't that illegal or something?" Jamie asked. "No, no! It's not illegal at all. It's perfectly normal, but since you're still recovering your memories, I won't do that stuff. I'll just be your best friend. Does that make you more comfortable?" Jane asked. Jamie nodded at her. "Okay. I just want you to know, that I'm here for you okay?" "Okay Jane, thanks." Jamie said with a smile. Jane smiled at Jamie and watched her fall asleep. Jane left Jamie's room quietly and went to her hotel room.
A few days later Dani and Santana came home from their honeymoon. They decided to all go together to see Jamie in the hospital. Jane walked in first with Dani and Santana behind her. "Hey Jamie!" Jane said. "Hey Jane! Where were you the last couple of days? I thought you didn't want to be friends anymore." Jamie told her. "No! That's not it at all! I had school, so I had to go to some classes to pass, but I brought a surprise with me today!" Jane moved over to reveal Santana and Dani. Dani ran up to Jamie and hugged her. "I've missed you so much Jamie." Dani told her. Jamie pulled away from Dani quickly. "Who are you and why are you hugging me?" "I'm so sorry! I totally forgot! I'm your sister, Dani. I was the one on the honeymoon. This is my wife, Santana." Dani said, showing her Santana. "Hey there, Squirt. How you holding up?" Santana asked. "I'm fine, but why did you call me Squirt?" Jane asked. "That's the nickname I gave you when we first met." Santana told her. Jamie nodded.
"So Dani, what memories or stories do you have of us? A few days ago, Jane showed me what kind of singing and dancing I like to do." Jane asked. "Oh did she? Well did Jane tell you why you are in New York?" Dani asked. Jamie shook her head no. "Well, you're in New York because our parents, kicked you out because you kissed a girl. They are not nice people, Jamie. That's why they are put away in jail. So you with Santana and I in our apartment." Dani told her. "Cool! Were our parents mean to you to, Dani?" "Yes they were, but you and I are own family now. That's all that matters." Dani said with a smile. Santana walked over to Jane while Dani and Jamie were getting reunited. "So, did you tell her you guys were dating?" Santana asked. "I almost kissed her, and she flinched away from me. So I had to tell her, and she did not seem at all interested. So I told her for I would just stay her friend for now. You have no idea how much this hurts, Santana." Jane told her. Feeling guilty, Santana hugged Jane. "It's okay, everything will work out." "Thanks. I got to go to class, so I'll catch up with you guys later." Jane waved good-bye to Jamie and left the hospital. Later that night, Dani thought she would make a collage of pictures to show Jamie the next day. She took a cab to Jane's hotel room, and when she was about to knock on the door, she heard something weird. She peeked through the curtains and saw Jane kissing another girl. "Oh my God! Jane is having an affair!"
Well, that's the end of chapter 10! What will Dani do with the news of Jane's affair? Will Jamie ever remember her old life again? Read on to find out more! Please review!
