Hospital Visits and Reunions
Alicia, Amy, Katie, Jon, and Pyro all piled into Amy's Hyundai Santa Fe and quickly took off to Central General Hospital.
"Please be alright, mother." Amy muttered when they had pulled into the hospital parking lot.
The five raced to the front desk and asked the receptionist for a room number.
"I'm sorry. She won't have a room until she comes out of surgery. Please sign this visitor's list a take a seat in the waiting area. The five quickly jotted down their names and found some empty seats in a quiet corner of the room.
" Amy, thank goodness you got here in time. I just heard Mom's almost finished and they'll have to wait a couple of hours to see if the operation was enough. This is all my fault. She called needing a ride, but I had to stay in the office."
" It not your fault, Mary. The only thing to do now is wait." Amy said as she gave her older sister her seat and took another seat.
"Who is this young man?" Mary asked after a few moments.
"My name is John Allerdyce. It's nice to meet you." The Aussie replied in his Australian accent and held out his hand, which Mary shook.
"So are ya Alicia and Katie's man?" the woman asked with an eyebrow raised in amusement.
"Ummm." Was the pyromaniac's replied and he slowly began to blush.
"He and I have gone a 'date' if that's what you mean." Alicia said, who was also starting to blush red.
"That serious, huh?" Mary said smiling. 'Shyness is always how it starts.'
"Mary, leave them alone. They only went to a movie, and that was with Remy and Katie." Amy chimed in. After realizing her last sentence she paled. "OOPS! Sorry, Katie. Was I not supposed to say that?"
"It's fahne(fine), Mom. Remy and ah have been on a couple of dates ourselves. We went to a nice dance club a week ago. He's so nice to me; it's hard to believe we got attached so fast. We've only, official known each other one month, next week." Katie replied with a dreamy look in her eyes that was beginning to creep her younger sister out.
"Sis, your going to drowned in your own drool if you don't SNAP OUT OF IT!" Alicia all so subtly pointed out.
The six were interrupted in their conversation by a female voice over the intercom. "Will, Alicia, Katie, Mary, Amy Griffin, and John Allerdyce please come to the reception area please?" Mary and her sister shared a brief nervous look before rising from their seats.
"We just got your mother set up in a recovery room. You will be able to see her when the anesthesia wears off, I'd say twenty minutes. We have good signs she be as good as new with time. I'll come back for you when she wakes up." The nurse said in a kind voice.
The six were about to walk back to their seats when the nurse stopped John.
"Your last name is Allerdyce?"
"Yes. Why?"
"We have four people with that same last name in our rehabilitation building. They've been there for a year. They all have amnesia. We've tried to help them get their memories back, but nothing seems to help and no one has ever come looking for them. Allerdyce is an extremely unique name. Are they your family?"
"It can't be, my family died in a fire. In Sydney, Australia, I might add. I came here to try and forget what happened. What are there names?"
"They are Marlene, William, Mark, and Rebecca. Sound familiar?"
"I can't believe it. Can I see them?"
"Yes. Follow me. It's a good thing these buildings are connected. We can just take the elevator.
"Hey, John, where are you going?" Alicia came running up when she saw the pair leaving for the elevators.
"I'm going to visit some people I know." John replied.
"I'll go with you. Grandma probably won't be awake before we get back." Alicia said as the three got on an elevator.
"Suit yourself." Pyro said, then he got to thinking about what happened the day life, as he'd known it was shattered… or so he thought.
