Second chapter. I know this story sucks but hey. This chapter is quite a bit longer then the first, I hope thats a good thing. Anywho read & review (yes my spelling and grammar are probably really bad.)
Maddie and I arrived in Texas a few hours later. She was upset and wanted to know what was wrong with her dad but I didn't really know what to tell her since I didn't know what was wrong with Deacon either.
When we got to the hospital Maddie took off running not knowing where to go. I yelled at her to stop and she did. I asked the person at the front desk where Deacon was and as soon as Maddie heard she was running again.
"Maddie" I yelled as soon as I saw her.
"What mom?" She didn't syop so i sped up to catch her.
"I just think it would be better if we both walk in together."
"Mom," Maddie said suddenly stopping. I could see tears in her eyes and remembered that this was why I didn'ttell her and Deacon that she is his daughter.
"What sweet girl?"
"I'm scared mom, what if he isn't okay? We don't even know whats wrong with him."
"It'll be okay sweetie trust me, but if you want I could go in first and talk to him and then come out to get you."
"It's okay but I'm still scared.
"I know babe, to be honest I anm too."
"Come on, I want to see dad."
After a few minutes of walking we came to a stop outside his room.
"You ready?" I asked
"Yeah." Maddie responded as I opened the door and we walked in my arm wrapped around her sholders. My grip tightened slightly when I saw the broken looking man laying on the bed in front of us, yet he always looks broken in hospitals. His eyes were closed and he didn't nitice as we walked in.
Maddie stopped at the door as I walked on in and besied Deacon's bed. I gently placed my hand on his sholder and his eyes slowly opened, he looked up at me, confusion and hurt in his eyes.
"Baby," He said, "I love you." I looked over at Maddie seeing the same look of confusion in her eyes that's in Deacon's, and I figured a similar one was in mine.
"Deacon." I said smiling at him. "Babe, give me a second and I'll be right back." I walked out of the room with Maddie and went over to the nurses desk.
"Excuse me but can you tell me what happened to Deacon Claybourne and if he'll be okay?"
"Yeah, he has amnesia, he was apparently attacked out side a stadum. Luckly he doesn't have many injuries, but he seems to have forgotten everything that has happened in the last 15 to 20 years." The nurse said.
"Okay thanks." How should I do this? He would have forgotten about Maddie, his last trip or two to rehab, the wreck, Luke and them fighting, the second and possiblely the first proposal, and everyting else. Should I tell him about Maddie? And about me lying to him all those years? I know Maddie wants to see him, but if he don't remember who she is what will happen?
"What's wrong with dad?" Maddie asked.
"Maddie sweet heart, your dad has amnesia and might not know who you are."
"Wh-what?"
"I'm sorry."
"What do I do mom?"
"Why don't you set out here for a while and I'll go in and see how much he remembers? Will that be okay?"
"Okay." Maddie said, walking over to the waiting room setting down and pulling out her phone.
"You could see if your other dad wants to bring Daphne here to stay with you. It might be good to have someone else here.
"Okay." I said kissing her on the top of the head before turning to walk out to go to Deacon's room.
"Hey, babe?" I asked quitely seeing his eyes were closed again.
"Wh-oh hey Ray where did you go I missed you."
"Hey Deac, can I ask you something?"
"Sure baby. Is something wrong?"
"Babe what is the last thing you remember?" Judging by the look on his face I might have asked the wrong question.
"Some guys walking up to me one wrapping his arm around mt throat, and one punching me in the face, which explanes the cut, and then everything going black." He said. I walked over and pulled a chair up beside his bed, sat down, and layed my hand on his, the layced his fingers through mine.
"What is the last thing you remember about us?" I asked squeezing him hand slightly, blinking back tears thinking about what happened to him.
"Waking up next to you that morning. Why are you asking all of these questions?"
"I'm curious."
"I love you, Ray."
"...I love you too." Maybe I shouldn't have said it but if things continue this way, forget Luke, I'm leaving him. Me telling Deacon I love him wasn't a lie, it never has been.
"Can I ask you something?" Deacon asked bringing my hand up to his mouth and kissed it.
"What?"
"Who was that girl that came in with you?" He asked. I was kinda shocked. I didn't know he saw Maddie, and what should I tell him, that she is his daughter he has only known anout for 2 years and forgot? That she was just some girl? No, that wasn't it lying would be the easy way for now but not later, and I'm done lying.
"Mis. Jaymes, can I talk to you?" Asked Deason's doctor, we just noticed walked in the room.
"Sure." I tell him standing up, looking back down at Deacon I tell him that I'll be back before following the doctor out the room.
"Mis. Jaymes, I'm Dr. Lewis, I know you've heard what happened to Mr. Claybourne. I just wanted to let you know that you need to try to trigger his memory. So if he has anymore family around you need to try to get them here ."
"Okay, so he just asked who a girl that walked in here with me is. It's his daughter, should I tell him?"
"Yes, anything to help him remember. Also he will be released from the hospital in a few days anf will be clear a little while after that, most likely by the end of the week." I thanked him turning around to walk to Maddie calling Scarlett on the way.
"Sweetie come on."
"Does dad remember?"
"No, but the doctor said it might remind him of everything, seeing people who he should know." Maddie and I walked into Deacon's room, where he looked up at us. "Deacon, this is Maddie, your daughter."
