A World Alone

Ch.5

Starting to Remember



I opened my eyes slowly preparing for the ray of sunlight that was splayed across my face. 'What? Where....' My thoughts stopped as it all came back to me waking up here having it all explained. I was in the Jamaican Mental Institution and most of what I remembered of my life had been a dream. I had somehow gotten lost in another world where my past was all different. I looked around the room really taking it in for the first time. The room seemed more familiar somehow I was probably getting my memories back like my doctor had said.

I stood up slowly sliding off the stiff spring mattress as I walked over to the small window. Staring outside was a world of sunshine, bright sands, and a beautiful ocean. Waves crashed onto shore in washes of white and the water sparkled a dazzling shade of turquoise. I watched for several more minutes before the sound of the door opening turned me back towards my room.

"Good Morning." He said cheerily as he gestured for me to have a seat, "I would like to ask you a few questions if that's alright. I know you probably don't remember much but I want to you know what is fact and what's fiction of your life so you can get your bearings."

"Ok," I said quietly as I sat down on the edge of the bad. He pulled up a chair from a small rolling table that I did not remember being there the night before.

"Alright then. Well lets start with what do you remember that perhaps doesn't seem to fit or seems out of place in your time line of events."

"I remember a couple things that happened with my parents when I was older after they died and.....and I remember Kenji in a classroom which I had never seen him in before."

"That's very good. You're getting back your memories quite quickly. You've made a lot of progress in only one night. Just don't push yourself trying to remember. Your memories will return eventually of there own accord." He said before he rifled through the large stack of papers on his lap pulling several to the top of the pile. He looked across several of the pages making affirming noises and nodding to himself before turning back to me and looking me over. Just before he could speak though the door burst open and running through it was my sister. She raced over to me her face a streak of tears as she pulled me into a tight embrace which I gladly returned. We clung to each other like our lives depended on it for what seemed like hours before she finally reluctantly released me kissing me all over my face and giving me one final squeeze as she sat on the bed beside me.

"I've missed you so much. I thought...thought that I might never see you again." She gasped out between sobs. I hugged her again and she cried into my shoulder as the doctor finally coughed rather loudly to get our attention.

"I'm glad you got here so soon Ms. Ezekial. Melony is already recovering remarkably well and her memories are already returning." He said with a sympathetic smile.

"Oh I was so happy that I'd get to see you again. I got the quickest flight out of there. I'm so glad your okay." She said her sobs finally quieting down though she was still crying, "I love you so much and I don't what happened but promise you'll never do that again. I thought it was normal you knew they were daydreams but then you started talking about things that hadn't happened and forgetting things that had.... Then you were completely gone from the world. You'd sit there for hours just staring at the ceiling or a wall..."She said trailing off at a look from the doctor.

"You'll most likely remember all the things she's talking about within the next couple weeks. So don't worry if you don't quite understand everything yet. Now what I really wanted to discuss was when you would go home. At this point you will remain here though you will be moved to some roomier quarters. Once you remember what is real and what is not I will be able to let you go even if all your memories have not returned yet. Until then your sister may stay here with you or somewhere locally." He finished up as she nodded enthusiastically.

"I would like to stay here with my sister. That way I can explain things when she remembers and tell her what never happened. Maybe I can get to know you too. It's been so long since it happened." She said a distant look in her eyes as if she was remembering before she snapped back to reality.

"Well that's settled then. We already have your new room prepared if you would like to go there now and then we can set up your sister as well. I am having someone move in an extra bed as we speak." He said. We rose walking out of the awful white room with it's horrible white walls and hard spring mattress with leather restraints. I turned looking back at it once more before the door closed with an audible snap. We walked down the hall into my new room when I remembered when my world had fallen apart.



Author's Note: Dun Dun Duuuuhh! *Thunder cracks in background* Hey I can finally say that laziness isn't stopping me from writing more. It's Zell595's fault. He hasn't e-mailed me back with what will happen for our characters to meet. I can't write anymore without it becoming pointless blabber. So in order to keep the story from going down the tube completely I am simply forced to await his e-mail. So Zell e-mail me damn it! I finally get the urge to write and there's no where for it to go. See we are doing a lovely crossover with our original characters. Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much for reading and if you review you can suggest things that can happen next. Also read Zell595's bloody roar fanfiction so you can know what's going on when we actually cross over. So PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE REVIEW!!! It would make me sooooooooooo happy and if anyone has read both and has any idea how we should meet you can let me know in your REVIEW. Please R&R. THANKIES!!! ^_^
