Haha! I said this chapter would come out soon! You thought I was lying, didn't you? Oh well. I have to be a couch potato for a few days, at least until my mouth heals. It's not that bad really, except that the stitches are pushing into my cheek! It doesn't hurt, it just feels funny and it's bugging me! Oh well, I'll stop complaining and get on with the chapter.

Bit stormed into his room and closed the door. It wasn't even that late yet, only around 9 o'clock or so, but he was tired. None of them usually fell asleep until about midnight or so. Bit flopped down on his bed.

"No one knows how I feel and I'm sick of it! I'm sick and tired of all of them!" he yelled to himself. Not long after, he drifted into a quiet, and somewhat peaceful sleep.

The young, blond haired boy sat on the same white hospital bed that he had been on before. He just sat there, the bandage still wrapped around his head. The door to the room opened and a nurse walked in. She had dark brown hair and eyes to match. She smiled to him, but he made no gesture towards her.

"How are you feeling today? Can you remember anything?" she asked kindly. Bit just looked to her, his eyes emotionless.

"I've told you all I know," he said. "Can you tell me though, will my wounds heal?" He motioned to the scar on his shoulder. The nurse shook her head sadly.

"I'm sorry. Some of these wounds will never heal, like the one on your shoulder and the one down your back. They'll leave scars. I truly am sorry." Bit looked down again.

"It's alright. How...how long can I stay here?" he asked. She smiled softly.

"You can stay here as long as you want. Your mother worked here, so it's free. You're welcome to stay here forever even. We'll take good care of you and maybe you'll even get your memory back," she said.

"Okay," he said, not once smiling through the whole conversation. There were get-well cards all around his room and there were all sorts of gifts from friends and neighbors. The white room seemed normal to him now, no longer unfamiliar and strange. He was used to seeing the doctors around. They'd come in and talk with him and many people would always come to see him. He had been there for nearly two weeks now. They fed him well and did their best to be like parents to him. He had a big family now. The nurse finished cleaning everything up and walked out, leaving the door open. Bit just sat on his bed. He was wearing blue jeans and a black, short-sleeved shirt. The day went on as usual. People would walk by the door constantly. Most were either employees or people coming to visit family members in the hospital. Bit often wished that more people would come to visit him, but he realized that when they did, he usually didn't remember them anyway. It made him sad to think about it. He then looked to the door and saw a man walk by. He looked around 28 or so, with brown hair and sort of grayish blue eyes. By his side walked a young boy with the same brown hair and blue eyes. He looked about 10 or so. After they walked by, Bit just looked downward at the sheets on his bed. He felt lonely. He wasn't very social at the moment, but was wishing he had somebody to talk to right now. Anybody would do, he just didn't want to be alone.

"Hello," said a voice. Bit looked to the side of his bed. There was a young girl standing there. She looked the same age as he was, maybe a little younger, but he wasn't quite sure. She had fiery red hair and soft lavender eyes. She smiled to him. In her arms, she held a bouquet of red and white roses. "Hi," she said again.

"Hello," said Bit, not knowing who she was. He was a little nervous. He didn't recognize her from anywhere and he was sure he had never seen her here before either.

"The door was open, so I came to say hi," she said, still smiling. "You seemed lonely, so I thought I should come and visit you." She was such an innocent girl. Bit looked to the roses.

"What are those for?" he asked, trying to make conversation. The girl looked to the roses then back at Bit and smiled.

"They're for my mommy," she answered.

"Mommy?" questioned Bit.

"Yeah. See, she's really sick, so me, my brother and my daddy decided to come and visit her. I brought these flowers to make her feel better so that she can come home soon."

"Oh..." said Bit.

"What about your mommy and daddy? Why aren't they here with you?" asked the girl.

"I don't have a mom or dad," said Bit.

"I'm sorry." The girl took out one of the red roses from the bouquet and held it up to Bit. "Here," she said. Bit studied the flower.

"For me?" he asked, a little surprised.

"Yeah. Flowers always make me feel better. It's a present," she said. Bit took the flower and then looked down to the girl. He gave a faint smile, the first time he smiled since he arrived there.

"Thank you," he said.

"You're welcome. My name is Leena," she said. "What's yours?"

"I'm Bit," he replied.

"It was nice to meet you," said Leena as she walked to the door. "Bye."

"Bye," said Bit. She walked out the door and down the hall. Bit looked down at the flower and smiled again. Such a small gesture made him feel so much better. He laid down on his bed and fell asleep.

It had been five more days that he had spent in the hospital. He spent a lot of time wandering the halls, since he didn't like staying in bed all day. Everyone knew him there, so he was never alone, in fact, he felt more comfortable there than anywhere else. These people were like family to him and he even began to be more social as well. Leena had come to visit him whenever she and her family were visiting her mother. Bit had asked the brown haired nurse once what was wrong with Leena's mother. All the nurse would say was that she was very sick and had been in the hospital for a long time. One day, when he was walking back to his room, he noticed a sound coming from a room nearby. It was the sound of someone crying. Bit walked by and looked inside, only to see Leena resting her head on an empty bed. She was standing, but her head was cradled in her arms on the bed. Bit walked into the room.

"Leena?" he questioned. She didn't say anything; all she did was cry. "Leena? What's wrong?" He got her attention and she looked up at him, her face stained with tears. Her eyes were red from all the crying.

"My...my mommy...she's..." but before she could finish she broke down into tears. Bit could only watch as his friend suffered. He just stood there, completely helpless.

"I'm sorry," he said. She was the only one in the room. "Where's your dad and your brother?"

"They...they're in the lounge, waiting for me," she said through her sobs. "I...I don't wanna leave...I...I miss...my..." She then began to cry harder and Bit did the only thing he could do. He hugged her. He let her cry into him.

"It's alright Leena. Just cry. I know what it must feel like. In a way, you're lucky though. You will always remember your mom and you still have a dad and brother. The only family I have left are the people who work here. I don't even remember my real parents," said Bit. "Just cry. I'm your friend. I'll help you." Leena's sobs eventually settled down and her crying was reduced to just small and quiet sniffles. Bit let go of her and gave a faint smile. "Feel any better?" he asked.

"Yeah. A little. Thank you Bit," she said. She gave him a weak smile and he could tell she was still hurting. Bit then remembered something.

"Wait right here, alright?" he told her.

"Okay," she said, a little confused. Bit ran to his room and grabbed a small, heart shaped locket off of his shelf. He ran back to the room where Leena was. He held out his hand.

"Here," said Bit. Leena opened her hand and Bit dropped the heart shaped locket into her hand. Leena just stared at it for a while. It was a beautiful, golden locket with a rose design engraved on it. She looked to him, here eyes wide.

"For me?" she asked.

"Yeah. I thought that you could maybe put a picture of your mom and you in it. I don't really need a locket. I have too many presents the way it is," said Bit.

"Thank you," said Leena.

"Leena!" called her father.

"Coming!" she said back. "Goodbye Bit. I hope I get to see you again. Maybe we can play together sometime," she said.

"That sounds like fun. Bye," he said, as he waved to her.

"Bye." She waved and walked out the door to find her father.

Bit quickly sat up in his bed. He looked over to his clock. It read 11 o'clock. Bit quickly got up to see who was still awake. He walked out of his room and down the hall. He stopped when he reached Leena's room. The light was still on. He gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" she asked. Bit was glad she was still awake. He opened the door gently and looked in. Leena was lying on her bed, reading a book. She looked up at him when the door opened. "Hi Bit," she said softly. Bit opened the door and walked in.

"Hi," he said quietly. "I came to say I'm sorry." She sat up on her bed and he sat next to her. He took a minute to glance around the room. His eyes landed on a golden necklace that was sitting on her dresser.

"It's fine, really. Did you wanna talk about something?" she asked. He just got up and went over to her dresser. "Bit?" she questioned. He picked up the necklace and examined it. It was a heart shaped locket with a rose engraved on the front. He opened the locket and smiled. Inside was a picture of Leena's mother and a picture of Leena when she was little as well. Bit looked to her and smiled.

"This is your mother, right?" he asked.

"Yeah," said Leena. "She died when I was..."

"Eight," said Bit. Leena looked to him, a little confused.

"That's right," she said. "It's strange though. I guess after my mother's funeral, I sort of forgot everything before that day. The shock was too much I guess. I mean, I remember stuff, but it doesn't seem that important." Leena smiled when she looked at the locket. "That was a present," she said. Bit held the locket and sat down next to her. "When I was at the hospital the day my mom died, I was really shaken up. I had been visiting her every day that week, and then...one day...she just..." Leena paused for a while before continuing. "I was given that locket the day she died. It was a present from a friend. He was the sweetest boy. He was so nice to me. He told me..." but Bit cut her off.

"That you could put a picture of your mom and you in it," said Bit. Leena looked to him with a confused look on her face. It had been 10 years since that day her mom died and Leena couldn't remember much about what exactly had happened.

"That's...that's right," she said. Bit just held the locket in his hand, staring at the pictures inside. He looked to Leena, his face displayed no clear emotions. The same way he was when he was little and in the hospital. "The boy who gave that to me...he lived in the hospital. He said..."

"That they were the only family he had left," finished Bit. Leena was surprised. She looked to Bit's face. He seemed distant. Leena recognized that look. The same look as the little boy when she first met him. Leena was shocked. 'Why didn't I see it before?' she thought to herself.

"Bit...?" she said. Bit looked to her, that same look on his face. It almost pained her to see him like this. She quickly hugged him, which surprised Bit.

"Leena?" he asked.

"Bit. It was you. You were the little boy in the hospital. The one who gave me the locket the day my mother died," said Leena. Bit hugged her back. "Thank you Bit."

"You're...you're welcome," said Bit.

"I knew you seemed familiar when I met you two years ago," she said. "But it took me this long to figure it out."

"Sorry that I didn't remember you," said Bit. "I don't remember much of anything, but that's okay, because it's all coming back now. I don't know why, but I think I'm slowly remembering things."

"Well, that's good," said Leena. Bit smiled to her and then stood up, walking towards the door. "Good night Bit," said Leena.

"Good night Leena," said Bit. He walked out the door and back down the hall to his room. It was late and he was ready to go to sleep.
