Chapter 10-He Doesn't Remember Me

TORI's POV

Wow! I can't believe it! I got the part! I'll be playing Beck's leading lady! I am so excited right now nothing can ruin it! Beck and I were hanging out in his trailer while waiting for the casting team to draft my contract. The money I'll be making doesn't really matter because it's the experience that I'm aiming for and having it with Beck is such a huge perk! I was told that I'll have my own trailer right beside Beck's with all the things that I want in it. Shawna, Beck's agent/manager, will also be my agent since I don't have one yet. She's nice and she also put in a good word for me when Beck mentioned me to the casting director. A soft but quick knock broke my train of though. Shawna walks in with a bunch of paper in her arms.

"Here's your contract. I've read it and it's exactly what you would want in terms of compensation and talent fee. Everything is there and if you want to go over it you can."

I look at Beck who was smiling like he's the happiest person in the world.

"Should I still read it? Or should I just trust Shawna's word for it?"

"Well, I never looked at my contracts. I just sign it if Shawna says it's good."

"Okay then, where do I sign?" Shawna smiled and flipped the pages.

"Before you do, here's what you'll be getting for playing Lucy. There will be a commission depending on how the movie does in theatres worldwide."

Shawna points out the amount on the contract. My eyes bulged out when I saw the numbers. Wow, sweet. This is a done deal. It's nice that my schooling won't get affected because most of the filming will happen on summer break.

"Oh and by the way, before you sign, I need to talk to your parents since you're under aged and all that."

"Oh yeah. I can call them now."

"Go ahead and do that."

I dialled my mom's roaming number. She picked up on the third ring.

"Hey, mom, remember the email I sent you the other day about the movie audition? I got it! And they want me to sign the contract now but they need your consent."

"That's great honey! Are they assigning you an agent though?"

"Yeah, Beck's agent took me under her wing."

"Okay, well, let me talk to her."

I handed the phone to Shawna. She took the phone and stepped out the trailer.

"So are you excited to be working with me the whole summer?"

Beck handed me a can of grape soda and sat down beside me.

"Of course I am. But I'm kind of worried about Ryder though. Like how will he handle this after his accident?"

"Well, I'm sure he'll be okay with it. And it's not like you guys are back together, right?"

"I don't know, Beck. I feel bad that I have to break up with him at this time. Maybe when he gets better?"

"Tori, it wasn't your fault he's in this situation. You can't go back to him. You just can't. Who knows what he'll do to you next. He already laid his hands on you. What more do you need to be convinced that he doesn't deserve you?"

Why is Beck so upset about this?

"Beck, I just can't leave him because of this one time that he hit me. It may never happen again."

"It might happen again. Are you going to wait for it to happen again for you to realize that you shouldn't be with him?"

Just as I was about to answer, Shawna came in.

"Okay, you're mom is cool with everything. I'll send her the consent form via email and you can sign the contract now." She looks up from the papers she was flipping and looked at us sceptically.

"Did I interrupt something?"

I shake my head right away knowing what she might be thinking. I grab the papers from her and signed my name on the line. Shawna left to bring the contract inside.

"Beck, can we not talk about this right now? I need to go see Ryder."

"I'll drop you off there."

"You're not going in to see him?"

He shook his head. I was kind of disappointed that he won't be there with me. Wait, what? Why would I want him to be there? Get a grip Tori.

"No. I need to go see Jade. I haven't heard from her and that's very unusual."

"Oh, okay."

We both got up and walked over his car. The drive to the hospital was very quiet. Apparently, he didn't like what he heard in his trailer. What's the big deal anyway? He dropped me off the front and waved goodbye before driving away. I took the elevator for patients and headed to Ryder's room. I open the door quietly and found him still sleeping. Jade's also asleep in the chair with her back against the door. I took out my phone and texted Beck to let him know Jade's here. I walk over Ryder's bed and touch his forehead. He stirred a bit and my heart did a skip. Is he waking up now? I hope he will. I shake Jade awake just as Ryder's eyes started moving behind his eyelids.

"Jade! I think he's going to wake up!"

Jade stood up and walked to the other side of the bed. Ryder's eyes slowly fluttered open and he looked around the room. He looks over at Jade's side and a smile slowly formed on his lips. Wait that was the smile he's supposed to give me first. Why is he smiling at Jade like that?

"Jade. You're here." Ryder's voice was raspy from his long slumber. Jade started crying over the smile that was on her face. This is making me sick. What the hell is going on?! Ryder reaches out a hand and touches Jade's tear soaked face.

Jade looks at me which made Ryder look at me too. I smile my sweetest smile at Ryder just happy that he's finally awake.

"Hey, babe. You're finally awake." I touched his forehead and smoothed the hair out of place.

I stared at him and found a look of confusion on his face. He takes my hand and sets it on the bed. My smile started to fade. He looks over at Jade who was no longer smiling at him. What is going on?

"Why did you call me babe? Who are you?" Ryder asked me, his voice almost a whisper.

My mouth fell open. Is this really happening? He doesn't remember me?

"Ryder, her name's Tori." Jade told him.

"I don't know anybody named Tori."

Jade and I stare at each other. I felt bile rising in my stomach like I'll throw up any minute. Tears started forming at the back of my eyes.

"Ryder, I'm your girlfriend, Tori." My voice trembled as I said that.

Ryder looked all the more confused. Is this some kind of a joke? Because if it is, I don't find it funny.

"Ryder, is this some kind of a joke? I don't find it funny."

"Seriously, I don't know you."

"I'm your girlfriend!"

"No you're not! Jade is my girlfriend!"

We both let out a gasp. I couldn't form coherent thoughts anymore. Why is this happening? Is this for real? Am I dreaming? Why can't he remember me? And why does he think that Jade's his girlfriend?

Tears slowly poured out of the corner of my eyes. I slowly backed away from the bed, picked up my bag and headed out the door. I leaned back on Ryder's door and let the tears silently spill. Before I knew it, Beck was running towards me and he pulled me into a hug.

I was so stunned that I didn't spoke.

"Shhh. It's okay. Tori, what happened? Did Ryder wake up?"

I just nodded against his shoulder.

"Then why are you crying?"

I whispered, "He doesn't remember me."

Beck held me at arm's length.

"I'm sorry, what?"

I was staring past him.

"He doesn't remember me." I said loud enough that Beck heard me. I look at him and all color left his perfect face.

"He doesn't remember me."

I picked up my bag that I dropped on the floor and walked towards the elevator. I step outside the hospital and walked in the direction towards home. I felt like I died and I'm just roaming the world not knowing where to go. I felt water hit my face and pretty soon it was pouring. I didn't care. I didn't care that my phone is getting wet or that my contract will be soggy paper later. I just didn't care right now. I felt so hollow but I felt the raw pain eating at my bones. He doesn't remember me.

A/N: I know some of you might think this part is just too predictable but I can't help it. I just really wanted to write about someone getting amnesia. It really adds to the drama. I just can't imagine what pain Tori is feeling. But the question is, what will Beck do when he finds out about this whole thing? Do you think Jade was actually aware of this plan of Ryder's? Will Andre, Cat and Robbie fess up soon? What will become of Tori when she finds out that Ryder never actually forgot her? What will happen next? Look out for the next chapter because it's about to get sizzling hot.
