1 Watch Out Meatball Head

Chapter four



*****************************Mina****************************

1.1 We, Lita, Amy, Ray and me, were standing at Serena's door step, we had knocked on the door and were waiting for someone to answer it. Her mother had called telling us not to come by the hospital but to come by their house instead, she also explained Serena's 'condition'. we were nervous and were going through last minute details.

"Remember girls, she doesn't remember anything at all. Her mum said she has a case of amnesia." Amy said.

I burst out laughing, I couldn't help it . . . "remember girls she doesn't remember anything". . . . . the other's looked at me as though I was crazy.

"I cant help it, it's the situation ! I'm nervous . . !" I protested.

Before any of them could reply, the door opened. Her mother was standing by the door, he face was happier than it had looked in days.

"hi Mrs., Tsukino" we chorused.

"well hello girls, come on in" she said her smile growing wider.

Before we could step in or even answer her, we were interrupted by a cry, in fact a very familiar cry. . . . . Serena ? . . . . we had heard her bump into things fall, slip many times, and I would recognize that cry anywhere. Her cry was soon followed by a thump and a bump. Obviously, Mrs. Tsukino knew it was Serena because she gave a similar cry and rushed up the stairs leaving us standing at the door way, our mouths hanging open.

"My baby ! my baby !" she yelled as she stampeded up the stairs.

I was the first one to recover from the shock.

"come on guys snap out of it !" I called to them as I rushed up the stairs at the exact speed Serena's mother had. I was followed by equally fast girls.

We arrived at the top of the stairs to find Mrs. Tsukino frozen in the spot at Serena's doorway. We quickly moved towards her to find her staring at a body, a very familiar looking blond haired girl lying in a puddle of red . . . .blood ?. . . . . Serena. . . .

at the park . . . . .

I was standing near an empty bench looking at the still lake, which turned orange as the sun began to set. I didn't know why I was here, but it was so calm every thing was still . . . . almost as though it was unreal. Since the accident, I couldn't remember anything, and Andrew had taken me around, I hadn't paid much attention then but what had caught my attention was this park he had taken me to. Since he had bought me here, I've been coming every day. I didn't know anything about myself, what Andrew had been able to tell me was what you'd tell a friend. "You're an everyday hunk, but you pick books over girls ! BUT there was one girl you paid attention to, Serena . . ." he also filled me in with the details of the faithful day I had lost my memory. Serena Tsukino, I had saved the girls life apparently. The girl I paid attention to. Some how there was something wrong – I didn't know who Serena was, or anything about her for that matter. But I felt like something was missing, something about her . . . Andrew hadn't been very helpful when I'd asked him about her. "she's in the hospital, in coma. I went to visit her yesterday but no improvement." He had replied all misty eyed. He always avoided the subject and looked pained when I talked about her. But I had always refused to go, when ever he invited me to go with him to the hospital. The same strings of thoughts went through my mind, when I thought of her. 'I saved her life, but it looks like she's going to die anyway.' Not very pleasant thoughts. I also was surprised when I found out that I could remember things like TV programs, but didn't anybody from anywhere. (A.n. I don't know if there is such a thing as that kind of amnesia but I need it for my story, so pretend that there is.) it didn't help that I was an orphan. A few days ago I had also seen her photo along side of mine in a newspaper. A smiling girl with lively blue eyes, a bright smile that said 'I'm happy and there's nothing you can do to change it' and her long blond hair tied up in meatballs on each side of her head. As I had looked at the picture I had had a flash back, the kind that the doctor said I would start getting, when my memory would start to return. I had seen my self near the girl and heard myself say 'hey meatball head, failed any tests lately ?' I stared at her pained expression that was quickly covered by anger. Then the flash back ended as quickly as it had begun. But the girls pained expression stayed in my mind, and appeared in my sleepless nights since then. I also asked Andrew about the girls relationship towards me, he had avoided my eyes and told me that we were just friends, I didn't ask anymore questions but I knew there was something he wasn't telling me. According to Andrew no one had seen what had happened, except an old lady, and the actual truck driver, I had read many newspapers trying to get information about myself, and the accident, but I couldn't help but feel blamed for her state. ' I should have been careful' I kept saying to myself, but nothing changed. Then of course, there was those girls . . . there names were something along the lines of Emy, Raya, Mini, and Loti (Amy, Ray, Mina, Lita) they had caught me, at the arcade and started talking about what was supposed to be events of my life. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice the figure darting towards me in a hurry nor did I know how to react when I felt a hand firmly being placed on my shoulder. I swung in instinct to catch the person off guard, intending to hit him in the face. It was too late to stop my swinging fist from hitting him In the jaw, when I recognized who it was, but I managed to slow the amount force I put into it. But it still knocked him out, as soon as my fist made contact with his jaw.
