Chapter 3

*2 months later*

~Amber's P.O.V.~

I woke up and I had a headache. When I opened my eyes, I saw a tan, unshaven man sitting in the room. I looked around. I'm in a hospital. Why am I in a hospital. The man sat up.
"Hello?" I asked him in a whisper.
"Amber!! Your awake!!! I'm so glad that you're okay! I love you!" The man said.
What? How could he love me? I don't even know who he is. Wait, yes I do!! He's the famous singer Zayn Malik!!!
"Oh my god, you're Zayn Malik!" I said with excitement in my eyes.
"And you're Amber Malik, silly," Zayn replied smiling. I'm so confused. I'm not Amber Malik, I'm Amber Ellsworth. What's going on?
"I'm sorry, but I'm Amber Ellsworth. How do you know who I am?" I asked him. His smile faded away. He put his head down as a tear rolled down his cheek. Why was he so sad?
"You don't remember," he stated while his eyes were starting to water even worse.
"Remember what?" I asked, very confused. What don't I remember? What is he talking about?
"We've been best friends since kindergarten, Amber," He replied while wiping away tears," I'm your husband."
Husband? What is going on? Where is my mom? I still don't know why I'm in the hospital either! I looked down at my hand and saw a ring. I starting crying uncontrollably.
"Why am I in the hospital? Why are we married? What's going on?" These along with many other questions were racing through my head. He took my hand and looked at me. I stopped crying. The moment he touched me I felt safe.
"Amber, you g-got in a car cr-rash on your way to w-work," he said while choking back the tears. Car crash? I don't even remember being able to drive. I looked into his eyes as he liked into mine.
"I don't understand," I said wearily,"How olds am I?"
"You're tw-" he tried to finish his sentence yet he couldn't. I'm in my twenties? He starting talking again. "You're 26."
I'm not 26. But if I'm not 26, then how old am I? This just doesn't make sense.
"H-how did I get into a car crash?" I asked him.
"There was a car drunk driving on the opposite side of the road, heading towards you. You tried to stop, but by the time you registered what had happens it was already too late. He made it our okay. You however, didn't. You've been in a coma for 2 months. I've been here waiting for you every night and day, waiting for you to wake up."
He was waiting for me. This man must really love me. I could tell that he was being truthful based on how he looked. He was unshaven, his hair a complete and utter mess. A nurse walked in just as he had finished his sentence.
"Oh, hello Mrs. Malik, it's great that you're awake now. I'll send the doctor in for you," she said while looking at me and then at Zayn.
How did this happen?
