Too Painful to Remember
Jeff was taken aback by that question. "Is this a joke?"
"Amy? Who is this?" Matt asked puzzled by Jeff's question.
"Matt you really don't know him?"
"Never seen him before. What's going on?" Matt said his eyes growing wide.
"Matt this is your brother Jeff."
"Brother?" Matt's brow wrinkled as if he was trying to remember and shook his head. "I don't remember a brother."
Jeff was floored. How could Matt not remember him?
Matt hit the nurse call button. Tia came into the room. "What can I do for you Matt?"
"I want to see Dr. Lewis."
"I'll go page him." She said hurrying out of the room.
The room was silent while they waited for the doctor to arrive, which he did ten minutes later. "Okay what can I do for you Matt? Oh hello Jeff and Amy." He said when he saw who was also in the room.
"I don't remember him."
"Him? Him who?" He asked not sure and then realization dawned on him. "You mean Jeff?" Matt nodded. "Oh dear. Hmm but you remember everyone else. Who was the ref that night?" He asked Amy and Jeff.
"Nick Patrick." Jeff answered.
"Who?" Matt asked immediately.
"As I suspected. Matt's blocking out everything from that match including you Jeff." Dr. Lewis said. "It's not rare for a person to block out something painful like that. We hadn't even thought of asking him since he remembered everything else. Jeff and Amy can you please leave the room while I ask Matt some questions. It'll only take a few minutes."
When they left the room Jeff started crying. "This is my punishment. Him not remembering me is my punishment for making him do the spot."
Amy looked at him. "I didn't think he didn't know you Jeff. He remembered we are engaged. Jeff it was as if you were erased out of his mind."
"I bet that makes you happy." Jeff said. He was still effected by Matt's announcement he didn't care what he said to her right now. "That he doesn't remember me."
"Jeff that's ridiculous. You know that..."
"Excuse me." Dr. Lewis said. "If you could keep it down for a few minutes I'd like to tell you what's going on." They quieted down. "As I said he has partial amnesia where he's blocking everyone who was in the match most likely because of the painful fall. Jeff just act normal around him. Act as if he remembers you but do help fill in any blanks he has. I'm going to keep him for a couple more days for observation. He won't be able to return to the ring for a couple months. I know you are busy wrestling Jeff but I think it would help him recover if you were around him as much as possible. Now if you'll excuse me I have a few patients to look at."
