Resurfacing Memories
The silence is insufferable, the tension so thick that it made Lincoln nervous. To his left, His sister Lori sits with an impatient grimace. To the boys right, sits his former wife. Someone he didn't even remember until he woke up from a coma.
"I'm like waiting Lincoln" Lori says, breaking the silence finally
He shifts nervously, taking in deep breath as he begins to explain what he saw while he was in a coma. He stopped a few times to comfort Sophia as he retold his, well Hans's death. He hated seeing his Angel cry as Hans, hating it even more as Lincoln.
"Sophia, I know this is hard to believe. I'm struggling with this myself, trust me. Sometimes, I don't know if I'm Hans or if I'm Lincoln. When I remember things, I question whose memory it is sometimes. I remember sitting on the beach after having been stood up, the time I went to the park to think after I huge argument. That's only a couple, but there is a few that I know for certain who's memory it is. Like I said, I remember skinny dipping in the neighbour's pool while he was away" Lincoln explains, blushing as the memory resurfaces
"So, you have two sets of memories… wait, how old does that make you?" Lori asks curiously.
"I dunno, maybe eleven or maybe thirty-three" Lincoln says with a shrug "Lori, I know this is a lot to take in, but do you believe me?"
"There is way too much detail to your story to be fake and I don't know Sophia but judging by her reaction, I have to believe it's true" Lori says, allowing Lincoln to breath a sigh of relief.
"If you are Hans, can tell me something only he knows. Other than the skinny-dipping story" She asks, seeming to hope that this boy is telling the truth
"Well, I know you have a tattoo about three inches above your…Ehem, lady parts. It's of a king chess piece, I had a matching one in roughly the same place. Except it was a queen chess piece. We got them when we were seventeen, using a fake id" The boy now flushed a deeper red, becoming suddenly interested in the ground
"No way, is that true" Lori asks in disbelief
Sophia nods, turning to face her reincarnated husband. She pulls the boy into another massive hug, almost squeezing the air out of his lungs. The hug persists for a few minutes as the widower cries into Lincoln shoulder.
"It's really you?" Sophia asks in German
"I made you a promise that I would find you and I did. I'm sorry it took me so long, who would have thought it took another car almost killing me to remember my promise" Lincoln replies, earning him a playful clip around the ear
"You know we can't pick up where we left off, it's been eleven years and not to mention that you're a child" Sophia says sadly
"I don't care. If I must win you back again, I will, and nothing is going to stop me. Believe it or not, but my feelings for you haven't changed. Please give me a chance, like you did back in high school" Lincoln says, determination burning in his eyes
"Aw that's so sweet Linky" Lori says, watched his declaration
"Thanks Lori, I beg of you to not breath a word of this to anyone. Lisa knows about my past but nobody else must know. Not even bobby can know about this. That's all I'm asking for" The boy begs his sister
"I promise not to tell a soul about this, but only if you let me help you" Lori says, hugging her little brother
"You're the best sister ever Lori" Lincoln says, hugging her tight
"We better get going before people start wondering where we went" Lori says, as she stands up. She pulls out a piece of paper and a pen, handing it to Lincoln. She motioned to the phone in her hand
"You'll probably need a few days to process thing, so I'm going to give you my cell phone number, call me if you want to try again" Lincoln says, scribbling his number on the paper for her "Goodbye my sweet angel"
"Goodbye my king" Sophia takes his number, clutching it to her chest
As they leave, Lincoln turns back to wave to her like he'd done so many times before as Hans
A/N – Hey sorry for the long wait guys, also sorry for the short chapter. Writer's block is a major bitch to try and work through. Let me know what you guys though of this chapter, again sorry if it's a bit too short for your liking.
Also, this story will most likely stay at a teen rating but there may be mention of sexually explicit moments but not with much detail so don't worry.
Bouken Dutch 2.0 – The next few chapters will slow things down, don't you worry.
Gamelover41592 – Thanks
364wii – There will be, it's only early in the story mate.
Codymitchell1 – Aaaaah
LiteralTrash001 – Good, I hope you will be pleased
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to leave to questions, comments, criticisms and such in a review for me to read. I will be sure to address it in the next chapter's author's note.
Ciao for now my friends.
