Chapter 4: Fighting for Love

Sam had walked back into the hospital room determined to make her remember him.

Rachel walked up to Sam giving him a massive hug, "I'm so sorry, I heard about what happened."

"Hey, its you again doctor, what's up?" Said Mercedes who saw rachel hug Sam.

Sam walked to Mercedes, "No, I'm your...I'm your...FRIEND." Sam hold back his tears and smiled straight at Mercedes.

Everyone was shocked at how Sam referred to Mercedes as his friend.

"When are you discharged?" said Sam pretending to smile.

"Oh, Doctors said I get discharged this afternoon. Thank God." said Mercedes.

"Santana can you give me my bag please."

Sam was shocked as to how Mercedes can remember Santana and everybody else... but him.

"Can I talk with you outside." Said Rachel to Sam.

Sam walked outside with Rachel unsure as to how Mercedes can not remember him, but everyone else.

"What's up? Why doesnt she remember me?" said Sam.

"Umm.. well when you were outside with Finn. Doctors told us tha she can only remember her memories before you. Doctors said its common in cases like her." said Rachel

"What do you mean?"

"Before she met you, we were her only friends. I am so sorry Sam."

Sam broke down into tears, but knew that she had to remember him at any cost.

Later on in the afternoon:

Sam helped Mercedes get her stuff, so that she could be discharged. It was only Sam and Mercedes at the hospital as everyone had to leave.

"Mercedes, Ill be dropping you off back at home." said Sam.

Sam and Mercedes hopped into the car and Sam was ready to make her remember.

During their ride on the car, Sam brought out a photo of him and Mercedes.

"Hey, do you remember this. It was when we went to the carnival with all our friends because it was the last day."

"umm.. not really. Was it an event I should remember?"

Sam wanted to say yes. He wanted to say every moment with her is a memory. But he couldnt. he knew how this would end. So he just said:

"it should be. It was one of the rare events where we all haung out as a group."

"Oh, then hopefully, if my memory comes back."

"So should we play a game." asked Sam.

"Sure. what game was it?"

"21 questions."

"No hows about 10 Questions." said Mercedes.

"I guess I'm going to have to choose my questions wisely." laughed Sam.

"First Question: What do you remember?" Said Sam.

"Okay, What kind of question is this?" replied Mercedes.

"Just go with it."

"Okay, umm... I remember my friends and my family, but dont take this offensive. But I dont remember you except for the fact that you are my friend because you told me."

"Its okay. Next Question. Do you remember what happened on 23rd Auguest?"

Sam kind of knew that she wont remembered, but hoped a anwyways.

"umm.. I remembered being at the movies but thats about it."

"huh?.. can you still remember anything else. Please remember." responded Sam.

Sam did not expect that.

"Umm.. sorry i get a headache just thinking too much. Maybe we should stop with that." said Mercedes.

"huh, sorry. Can I just ask you one more question. Please and that will be it." responded Sam

Mercedes could see this strange look in Sam's eye.

"Sure. What question?"

"Do you remember anything about me?" Said Sam.
