The accident ch6

APOV

"She doesn't remember me" I said to Tia. She rolled her head to look at me.

"I knew she wouldn't"

"What?" I asked her.

"She was asked who I was about three hours ago. She had a fit and they had to put her out" Tia explained.

My jaw dropped "Really?"

She gave me the most horrible look; the are-you-serious look. "Yeah, I'm totally going to lie about that" Tia said sarcastically.

I guess she really could see just how upset I really was because she didn't press it.

"Look, I know you had a thing for her Avi, but she's gone"

"No she isn't, her memory, yes, her? No…" I got up with her eyes watching me closely.

I shook my head at her and left. There was movement around me and people rushing passed as well.

I found myself in the waiting room just going over everything that happened. Stacia…the only girl I had ever felt so close to after only minutes of conversation.

My mind began to re-think everything her and I ever had…every word she ever spoke to me…

How much I truly missed her…she was one of the very few people I can own up to ever having real feeling for…

The only girl that I turned the sex down…I lowered my head and rubbed the tired from my eyes; my watch read 4:15 A.M.

So far, sleep seemed almost impossible.

It felt as if my life was over; like the whole world left me behind.

People receiving news of their deceased loved one. Others awaiting the same news….

My head hung lower and lower as time went on; then a hand grasped my shoulder.

"Avi?" a voice bellowed above me.

"Yes sir?" I said assuming it was Mr. Chatelier.

"Go home son" he encouraged.

I shook my head no and he put his hand in his pocket, "she will be here a little while longer, you can come see her after school every day if you want." He explained.

I got caught on the words 'she'll be here a little while longer'.

"You said she would only be here a little while longer?"

"Yes" he answered.

I looked him in the eye, why a little while?"

He sighed and rubbed his thumb and fore finger against his forehead; "I am taking her back to Boston, her home town".

I stood and faced him, "You're leaving?"

His face went to stone then, "Yes, my daughter and I are leaving in a week's time, and you are welcome to spend as much time as you wish" he explained.

I felt the most horrible feeling…the feeling of loss.

It almost killed me to think that I was never going to see her again.

"Mr. Chatelier, give me at least 3 weeks, please" I begged him.

He nodded a moment then met my gaze, "Fine Avi…we will leave in three weeks. But after that…whether she remembers or not…" he trailed off.

I half smiled, she will remember, I walked out of the emergency room.

'She will remember me', I kept thinking, 'she has too'!

I believed that then, I did, but the reality that she would remember was quite small…
