I opened my eyes and looked around expecting to be in my room. But I was surprised and scared that I couldn't recognize my surroundings. "Are you okay, Blake?..." A girl with a blue dress and her hair in a ponytail asked me. "Who are you?...and where am I?..." I asked while pinching myself to wake myself up from this nightmare. "I'm Skipper, your wife…and you're in hospital…" She replied with a worried and hurt expression on her face, "You remember…don't you?..." My eyes have been wide since she started talking. I was starting to feel safe around her and I didn't want to hurt her. "Uh…no I don't…" I looked down at my paws for a while before looking up and noticed she looked defeated and slightly heartbroken. I began to feel bad but really scared when my head started to hurt. "What happened before I came here?.." I ask. "You and Hector got into a fight…again…and you were knocked out…you've been out for 3 hours…" Skipper answered while reaching for my paw. "Who's Hector?..." "My cousin…" Skipper looked down and held my paw. I sighed quietly and held my paw to my forehead. As I did this the nurse came in and talked to Skipper outside the room.
While I was left alone, I lifted up the covers and made sure I was still wearing my blue hoodie with the light blue creeper face. Luckily I was, but I also had a white gown over the top of my clothes as people usually do in hospitals. I also noticed a lot of cuts and bruises on my arms and legs. I also noticed (which is starting to freak me out) is a wedding ring on my finger. Then again, at least I am married to the prettiest and the sweetest girl I have ever seen. After a while Skipper came back in the room. "What did she say?.." I asked, hoping I don't have to stay in this place any longer. "She said you have amnesia…you'll need to stay here for a week while you try to remember things…" She replied sadly. I sighed quietly and looked down at my paws. Skipper rubbed my arm in a comforting way-except it isn't as comforting when I have cuts and bruises on my arm. I can't believe I have to stay in this 'hell-hole' for a whole week. What makes this even worse is my Iatrophobia (fear of doctors). I've had it all my life and it affects me whenever I need to go to a doctor or anything…wait…I still have it after 30 years?!...wow…I never thought I'd still be a coward as an adult…
After a series of thoughts, I suddenly remembered my family and realized that I haven't seen them all morning…if it even is morning… "Skipper?...do you know why I haven't seen my family yet?..." I asked. For some reason this surprised her, then I remembered she still thinks I have amnesia. "wait…you remember them?!..." I nodded slowly. "I'm so sorry…but they died in a car crash 22 years ago…"
THIS surprised me. When I blew that dandelion, I wished for a friend and to not have my brother annoy me. But this isn't happening the way I expected. I never wanted my family to die...and I never thought I'd EVER get married…even weirder, I'm not a hobo like I thought I would be by this age… All these thoughts kept running through my mind when I rested my head in my paws. Skipper rested her paw on my shoulder and kissed my cheek. I blushed and secretly freaked out since no one has ever kissed me apart from my mum. Unfortunately, Skipper noticed this. "Are you okay?..." She asked sounding and looking concerned. I was about to nod as usual but I decided I can tell her about my situation and shook my head. "C-can I tell you something?..." I asked quietly so hopefully only she could hear. "Sure…what is it?.." I took a deep breath and told her the whole story about my depression, the dandelion and how I can't remember my life any older than 7. She stayed quiet as she took this all in. "…so it isn't amnesia…" She admitted quietly, "wait…that's against physics…how is that even possible?!..." I just shrugged and sighed.
Skipper goes to find the nurse to convince her that I'm okay to leave; meanwhile I waited and thought of things. After a few seconds I started to hear shouting. I tried to listen but this is all I could make out: "Is this just some excuse?!" "No, I am serious! He told me just now!" "Explain!" "He blew a dandelion and wished to have a friend and no brother when he was older, but somehow it got mixed up and he is certain he was 7 yesterday!" "To me, that sounds like amnesia" "But it isn't!" "FINE! He can go…geez Louise…" After this, Skipper came back. "You can go…" she said, sounding satisfied that she won that little argument. I sat up and Skipper held my paw. I smiled at her and got up onto my feet, grateful that she is all mine…
