So I'm gonna make this author's note and disclaimer short and sweet, cuz I gotta go to bed. WHO SAW PARTNERS AND PARACHUTES AND DIED AT THE END LIKE I DID?! XP It was a good, Auslly feels, kind of dying, so it was ok. Anyways, I don't own anything and the third edition of my disclaimer story thing will probably be on the next chapter. Shoutout to mysteriouspurplerose2121 cuz she's cool and reviews all my chapters and gives me shoutouts.
Where Oh Where Have My Memories Gone?
(Austin's P.O.V.)
The pretty brunette with blonde highlights (who I heard is named Alexa or something) finishes her story. I look around at the people in the room. A tall, blonde woman, who I assume is my mom. Her husband, who would obviously be my dad. A very tall redhead with freckles and suspenders on his striped pants, who told me his name was Dez. A short Latina with curly black hair, who Dez called Trish.
"So you think that Austin has lost his memory because a supernatural being in an old lady's body put a spell on him?" my dad says suspiciously. "Ally, I know you're a smart girl. You must have a better explanation." Ally shakes her head and has a serious look in her dark brown eyes.
"Austin, honey, do you remember anything since you woke up?" My mother asks me in a gentle tone.
I think hard. I feel like all my memories are on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't reach them. "I….um… No." I shake my head sadly. Then, something pops up. "Oh! I had this dream. These creepy gold eyes were staring at me, and then that Ally girl appeared and was sucking this gold mist out of my head through my ears." I shiver. It was a really scary dream. I look over at Ally and she looks hurt. "I-You don't look like someone who would suck something out of my head, though," I say, trying to make her feel better. She smiles slightly at this, maybe remembering something about me that I obviously don't.
Dez told me about himself and Trish and Ally and all the crazy adventures we've been on. Honestly, I think he was making them up. Chasing a kangaroo around the mall? That's not just everyday stuff.
"Maybe if we knock him out again, he'll remember," Trish says, holding up a clenched fist. I inch away from her. Ally glares at her and slaps her shoulder.
"Well we should get Austin to a hospital, see if the doctors can help," my dad suggests. My mom nods and we walk out to their car. Ally, Trish, and Dez insist on coming to the hospital with us, so Ally and I sit in the back, Trish and Dez in the middle, and my parents in the front. I sit staring out the window at the unfamiliar landscape passing us by.
"How're you feeling?" Ally asks, brushing her hand against my arm. I sigh.
"Like there's a huge hole in my head," I reply sadly. "I feel like I'm on the verge of remembering everything, but not having the memories to remember, if that makes any sense." I chuckle.
"You've said things more confusing," she says, trying to lighten the mood. "So you don't remember me at all?" She asks, serious again.
I sigh. "Nothing," I say. "Which is weird, because I can tell you'd be hard to forget."
She smiles. "At least you still have the Austin Moon charm," she says and laughs to herself. After that we sit in silence until we pull up to the hospital.
I lay in my bed in room 15-D. I look out the window at the beautiful view of what I've been told is Miami, Florida. My friends and parents wait outside because the doctors are performing a test and it needs to be silent in the room. I have tubes stuck to my head. The doctors are in another room, monitoring my thoughts and searching for where my lost memories might be inside my head, or something like that.
Finally, I hear a beep, signaling the test is over. I release a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. My parents, Ally, Trish, and Dez burst into the room. My parents sit on one side of my bed and my friends on the other. I reach across the bed and hold Ally's hand. I'm not sure why, it was just impulsive. Maybe it's an old habit breaking through the wall separating my memories from my actual thoughts or something. Ally smiles and squeezes my hand.
The doctor walks in the room. "We have the results," he says. Dez bursts out crying. "Not this again," the doctor says, rolling his eyes. Trish leads Dez out of the room. "Anyways, the tests have shown that Austin's memories are gone. Poof, into thin air. Nowhere to be found." My parents sigh and Ally's face falls. I guess now any hopes they had that getting my memories back would just be as easy as an injection or a pill have diminished. Trish and Dez walk back in the room.
"What do you mean, 'nowhere to be found'?" Trish says.
"We were able to search his brain," the doctor starts, "and the place where his memories before tonight would be seems to not even be there. It's as if that part of his brain has been emptied." The doctor is obviously baffled, despite the smart manner he attempts to speak to us with.
"Only a supernatural being could do that," Dez says slowly, pausing afterward to let the statement sink in. Maybe Ally's story isn't so crazy after all.
We're finally allowed to leave, with the doctor saying, "Try retelling stories from his past. Maybe it'll help him remember." The drive home is full of old memories (for everyone but me) and laughs. My friends and I have the weirdest lives….
When I finally get to what must be my house, my parents give me the grand tour and I go to bed, hoping that this day was just a dream and that I'll wake up tomorrow with all my memories back.
Chapter 3 is done! Now what are they gonna do? His crazy dream plus his memory box (I'm just calling it that, y'all know what I mean) being empty? Omigosh where am I? What's going on? What's gonna happen next? Tune in next chapter to find out! :):):) Btw Who loved the part where Austin's sings "I Think About You" with the flashback things and then when Ally tries to talk he's like "Shhh. Just come here." and they hug and AUSLLY FEELS AND DEATH! And then COMING BACK TO LIFE AND DYING AGAIN WHEN THEY SAY THEY'RE OFFICIALLY A COUPLE! So yeah my fave episode so far! Thanks for reading and please review! Love you!
