8:30 am Friday May 26th


It was finally time for Lisa to get her next memory. She was so excited she could barely keep still. She was finally going to get some more information about her life.

"Faster than a speeding bullet. Bouncier than a rubber ball. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you. Lisa Heffenbacher!" Hector announced as he was leaning against the door post smiling at her.

She giggled at him and shook her head at him. "Hey!" she said still laughing. "You would be too if you were about to get possible most of your memory back."

"True," he said. "You sure you're going to be okay?"

She stepped closer to him. "Hector, I'll be fine. I have you and I know," she said inching closer and closer, "for a fact, that you will always be right next to me," she told him as she put a hand on his shoulder. If she took one more step she would've been kissing him. "Now outta my way. It's time to get some memories back." She walked past him; grabbing the crook of his arm on her way. Hector was pulled along by a speeding Lisa all the way to his car.


9:30 am Friday May 26th


Hector pulled up to The Electric Diner. Lisa quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and was rushing towards the door. He rushed after her excitedly. She was reaching for the door when the pain hit her in a dull wave. She was thankful that it was less but it still hurt. It was like waves were crashing over through her head. Hector put a hand on her shoulder. It hurt him to have to watch her go through this. Considering how much pain everyone had gone through, it was a miracle they hadn't fallen apart.

Lisa's mind began constructing things of her past. The two kids were now 12. They were playing with their word balls. Throwing them at each other; playing tag. Hector created a giant word ball and threw it at her. The last thing she heard was a smack and him yelling her name before she hit the ground.

Hector was watching her when all of a sudden she flew back into the street. A car honked. It was headed straight for her. She could do nothing but lay there. Hector ran and picked her up and ran her out of the street. Just as he was about to make it, the car hit his leg causing him to fall and trip. Lisa went tumbling across the pavement. "Lisa!"

She was the last thing he saw before he blacked out.

Lisa looked at the twelve year old boy staring down at her. "Lisa," he said as he hugged her. She realized that she was lying down on one of the booths. "I'm okay," she told him.

"Well apparently not. You passed out for almost an hour," he told her. "Lisa please don't do that again."

"I'll try," she told him.

"Thank you," he said.

Images flash through her mind until she sees a school. Her high school to be more exact. Hector is by her side. "You ready?" he asked.

Her mind cleared and then she was back in the real world. When she woke up she was lying on a different sidewalk. 'What where's Hector?' she wondered. That's when she saw him. Laying on the ground in front of her his hands looked as if they had been reaching out to her. She scooted over to him. "Hector?" She shook him a bit. She took out his phone and called an ambulance.


4:00 pm Friday May 26th

Hector woke up in the hospital bed. The grogginess in his head was beginning to disappear. He looked to his right and saw Lisa asleep. Her head was on the gerdi and she was holding his hand. He rubbed her knuckles with his thumb tenderly. She began to slowly lift her head to look at him. "Hey," he said softly.

"Hector," her voice was as soft as his. She threw her arms around him and held him close. Now she knew how he had felt all those times. "Thank goodness you're alright."

"I'm okay," he reassured her. "How are you?"

"Better now that you're awake," she answered.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I was hoping you could fill me in," she responded. "All I remember is waking up on the wrong side of the street with you unconscious and calling the ambulance."

"Uhm, well, I remember that you closed your eyes and clutched your head. You were fine until all of a sudden you flew back into the street. A car was coming and you weren't moving. I grabbed you and ran out of the way. Unfortunately it hit my leg and I fell to the ground. I dropped you by accident, sorry about that, and then I blacked out."

"I'm just sorry I put you in that position again," she told him.

"Hey, it's okay," he said.

"No it's not okay," she responded as she got up. "Hector I can't keep putting you in this position. It's not fair to you and it's not right. I can't keep doing this."

"Lisa it's not your fault," he reminded.

"Yes it is. If this is the cost I don't want to keep doing this," she pointed out. "I'm done."

"Lisa," he tried again.

"I'm done and there is nothing more to say about it. I might not remember everything but I remember enough. The new ones I have made are just as good. I'm done trying to remember," she stated.


Dun Dun Dun. Ah! This is heavy even for me. Please tell me what you thought. :)
