Chapter 25 – Amnesia
Zoe's POV
We went to the hospital everyday to visit Robbie but he had still not woken up, we were all falling apart in our own way, Dyns looked ill, Tom had work piling up, I was in shock and Barry had not uttered a word since.
We were back at the hospital like usual and like every other day over the two weeks Robbie had not stirred, the doctors still did not know if he would ever wake up or whether or not he will be in this vegetable state forever.
We were all sitting round his bed like we always did when all of a sudden his eyes flicked open.
We were all crying and smiling that he had woke up but it wasn't to last
'Where am I?'
'Hospital, you fell out a window'
He was giving me a funny look that looked as if he was confused
'Who are you people?'
He looked scared and confused as if he had never seen us before in his life, and he hadn't as the doctor said he had amnesia.
'He will recover right?'
'He should eventually as it is very rarely long term'
He was allowed home as he was no longer at risk but he couldn't remember anything and it was making us all more and more upset.
'Let's play footie Robbie'
Barry kicked the ball to him he looked down at it not knowing what the game even was
'You don't remember Robbie; you were the school's star player'
'How can I be star player of something I have never done?'
He didn't remember anything, not Dynasty, Barry, Tom, me or his parents he couldn't even remember himself.
Barry was sat on the sofa next to him holding a picture of him as Kacey
'Do you remember who this is?'
He shook his head and sat there looking anxious it would be two more weeks before he fully came back to us
I was at home with him, Tom wouldn't let him stay home by himself at the moment as it is dangerous I put on SpongeBob, which we used to love watching together when the 'Gary Come Home' song came on and like he always did Robbie stood up and started singing along.
'More than a pet you're my best friend too cool to forget, come back cause we are family and forgive me for making you want to roam'
He was jumping around and singing loudly like he always did as if he had never being ill.
'Robbie?'
He turned around smiling that smile that I fell in love with
'Come on Zoe, sing with me'
He grabbed my hands and I started singing too'
I wanted to see how much he could remember
'This is way fun Kacey'
'Oi it's Robbie now'
'How many siblings do you have and what are their names?'
'Barry Barry, 18 and annoying, Dynasty Barry, 17 and a Barbie doll' he was giving me a odd looking and then said 'why are you asking me these questions?'
I smiled at him and grabbed him in a hug, our Robbie was back.
