OH MY GOODNESS I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! It's just that I have been so busy with my mock GCSEs and all my coursework and homework and science (ugh science)... and all the other things going on in my life. Here's latest chapter of Memories & Misfortunes, sorry again I haven't updated as quickly as readers would like me to but unfortunately I haven't had time for writing! Enough about me... sorry again... here's the latest chapter... DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
"I'm okay... Who are you?"
"You're kidding right?" Austin chuckled and flashed that classic, dazzling smile and 'Austin Moon' charm "It's me Austin," Ally shook her head trying to signal him that she doesn't recognise him "Austin Moon...You really don't remember me?"
"Sorry, no. I'd think I'd remember you."
"Austin wait!" Trish yelled coming in "Mr Dawson needs to talk to you."
"Who's Mr Dawson?"
"It's About that."
"But-" Austin began but was cut off by his best friend
"Do you remember me, Ally?" Dez wondered
"Sorry, but may I say you have a weird name, isn't Ally for a girl?." Ally said misunderstanding Dez for once
"No, I meant 'Do you remember me Ally?' not 'Do you remember me, Ally?'. Remember me yet?"
"Sorry, no."
"What about me? Can you remember who I am?" Said Trish whose eyes were misting up
"No, but are you okay?" Asked Ally, who may have forgotten who she was but hadn't forgotten to be concerned for anyone. Even if she didn't know or remember them. "You look as if you're about to cry."
"I'll be fine." Trish lied quickly "Austin, Mr Dawson really wants to see you."
Austin, Trish and Dez then left the broken Ally to herself before the nurse went in and checked on her
"What's wrong with Ally?!" Austin nearly yelled
"She's experiencing a case of Retrograde amnesia where one has the inability to remember events that occurred before a causative trauma, in her case falling down the stairs." Said Ally's doctor
"She didn't fall down the stairs, she was pushed!" Dez admitted without pausing to think
"By who?" The doctor asked "Was it on purpose? Are you aware of the situation between Ally and whoever caused this?"
"We can't say." Trish said
"You do know that withholding evidence is punishable by law."
"Not until you just said it."
"If this was an attempted murder or they intended to injure Ally then it's important."
"Well can we talk to them to see if it was actually them because you see we don't want you to arrest the wrong person."
"Very well. You have exactly a week or you're all in trouble." He pointed his finger at us making a dramatic exit
"Whoa... he backed out of the room!" Dez said
"So... mine name is Ally Dawson?"
"Yes." Austin replied
"And I'm 17?"
"Yes." Dez replied
"And I'm a newly famous singer."
"Yes." Austin replied
"And I can't dance." Ally remembering what they all had told her
"Yes." Dez replied
"Anything else?"
"A lifetime's worth but we'll get to that later." Austin replied
"I've got her." Trish walked in with a tight hold of Brooke
"Brooke." Austin said coldly
"Austin." Brooke replied with a creepy stalker-like smile
"How could you do this?"
"I didn't mean to do this but I can't deny that I'm not enjoying this."
"Evil witch!" Dez screamed in anger
"Calm down dude."
"Brooke?" Ally said
"Ally?" Austin asked turning around to face Ally
"Brooke... Brooke... Brooke... Where do I know that from?... I think I remember you..."
"That's great now we can prove she's guilty!" Austin whispered to Dez and Trish
"Of course! Of course now I remember you! At least after all what I've been told has happened, I can remember my best friend." Ally said trying to get up to hug her
"What!" They all shouted in confusion
"Jeez, I thought you'd all be happy that I remembered something."
"I am!" Brooke smiled "So you don't remember anything about Austin?"
"Um... No, sorry."
"Well at least you remember me!" Brooke hugged Ally carefully
"Ally? You think that she's your best friend?" A hurt Trish asked
"Why isn't she?"
"NO!" The gang yelled
"No! We're like sisters!" Brooke saved
"I'm so glad that I remember you." Ally hugged
"I'm so glad too."
"Um Ally, could we borrow Brooke for a moment outside in the hall?" Dez asked
"Yeah I guess."
"Great." Replied Dez before him, Austin and Trish half dragged Brooke outside Ally's room
Trish pushed her against the wall in anger, enough to scare her but not enough to hurt her before looking coldly into her eyes and saying "Okay Brooke what do you think you're doing?"
"It's between me and my new best friend."
"Come on Brooke. You hate Ally for 'stealing' Austin from you." Said Dez before realising what she was up to "Oh now I see."
"What? What is it?"
"She is trying to make sure she doesn't remember you. She has a new best friend, she can get close to you and make sure that Ally never does. She could even make her hate you."
"That's brilliant Dez." Austin replied
"Isn't that right Brooke."
"Part of it was. But I never thought of making her hate Austin, thanks Dez."
"You're welcome... oh." Responded Dez as Brooke walked back into Ally's room. "Wait!" Dez said running back inside the room with Austin and Trish following him.
"So can you tell me things about me to help me remember?"
"Of course I will Ally," Brooke fake smiled "So what can you remember?"
"Well those two told me that my name is Sally- No Ally, I am seventeen years old, I am a new music artist and apparently can't dance."
"That's it?"
"Well then you came in and I was able to remember you. Which I am so happy about."
"Me too."
"Ally we should tell you something."
"Sure.. Sorry I can't remember your name, give me a minute... Is it Dallas... Houston... Marshall... Tyler... Amarillo... It's a place in Texas right?"
"Austin."
"That's the one." Ally nodded "So what do you want to tell me?"
"Brooke is actually-"
But Brooke hastily interrupted Austin "Feeling a bit guilty! Because I feel sooooooo happy that you can only remember me. And I'm feeling guilty because if you can only remember one thing, call me selfish, but I'm glad it's me."
"No I don't think it's selfish at all, but I do wish I can remember you three as well, sorry."
"Don't be. You didn't ask for this. And it'll come to you..." Brooke turned to the other so only they could see her evil and manipulative smile "Eventually."
"I hope so."
Luckily a nurse came in demanding that they all leave since Ally needs her rest.
"We'll see you later Ally." Austin smiled
"Great." Ally nodded awkwardly before turning her attention to Brooke and giving her a genuine smile and a small hug.
Austin, Trish and Dez went as early as they could to the hospital the next morning but were somehow beaten there by Brooke.
"How does she do it? Does she have underground tunnels leading everywhere in Miami?" Trish asked
Austin was clearly getting perturbed about all of it "How are you feeling Ally?"
"Better."
Austin tried to give her one of their loving smiles they share but Ally just turned to Brooke. "Brooke has been helping me."
"How...?" Dez wondered
"She's been telling me things while I was asleep so that it would all sink in. She found it online and apparently it's a good technique for gaining your memories back."
"Do you know what she's been telling you?" Asked Austin
"Just a few things." Ally replied coldly
"You sure you're okay Ally?"
"Fine." Replied Ally quickly "Just tired. I kept getting these weird dreams but it probably has to do with that memory technique, so it's good then."
"Can you remember anything new?"
"No but Brooke has been talking to me."
Austin was warned about this so of course he was afraid to hear to the reply when he asked"About what...?"
"How you're the most dirty, no good, cheating, imbecilic, rude, arrogant, vain and shallow low life I know."
There it is... sorry to leave it there but it felt like a good ending and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for not updating quickly enough but to be fair, I had a good reason. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it, don't forget to review and byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
