You Lost Me

Bella’s POV
“Do you remember your birthday, Ms. Lavender?”, the doctor asks me. He’s been asking me questions for what feels like forever. And Harry and Louis haven’t left the room yet. In fact, Harry hasn’t even let go of my hand yet. And they’ve both been crying on and off silently throughout this whole time. I don’t know what to do to comfort them. I don’t know them!

“May 24”, I say. I’m not an idiot! Of course I know my birthday.

“And last one Ms. Lavender, what is your last memory?”

I sigh, I have to think really hard about this one. “I was home. And my parents and my brother were all there. And we had a really nice family dinner, where we were all laughing and having a good time.”

Harry and Louis’ heads drop and I hear a sniffle. I roll my eyes, “Could you just stop crying? I don’t know who you are or why you’re here and my parents aren’t! Stop crying! I’m not crying so neither should you!”

Harry looks up to me with moist eyes. “You really don’t know who we are? I-I just can’t believe it. We’ve gone through so much togeth-”

“Um, Mr. Styles, maybe we shouldn’t tell Bella about her past. We want her to get her memory back naturally.”, the doctor interrupts Harry.

“I lost my memory?” the doctor nods, “How!?”

Louis and Harry look at the doctor and he nods. “We, uhm, got in a car accident awhile ago.”

Oh. Wow. “Okay, I’m tired. I want to go to sleep.”

“Alright, Ms. Lavender. You are free to go home after tonight.” he looks from me to Harry, “You’ll be taking her to your house together right?”

Harry agrees quietly. “Wait, no! I don’t even know him and now I’m supposed to stay with him?”, it comes out louder than I thought it would’ve. I mean, I meant it. I shouldn’t have to go home with some random man that I don’t know.... Or remember…. I don’t know! I just know that I don’t like this. I don’t feel safe. I want my parents.

I look to Harry quickly. His face hurts my heart. I can tell he wants to cry, but he won’t because I snapped at him before. His eyes are holding in what looks like hundreds of tears. He swallows quickly and keeps his eyes on the ground.

I look at Louis next and see he looks like Harry. Almost in tears.

“I mean, why can’t I just stay with my parents?”, I say quieter looking at the doctor. The doctor looks at Harry with sad eyes. Why is everyone so sad?

“Well, Luna. I’ll let Harry and your other friends explain to you why you can’t see your parents later. But, I need to know that you agree to going with Mr. Styles’.”

“Fine, whatever.” , I agree. That’s when Harry looks up. That’s the happiest I’ve seen him even though he doesn’t look happy. At all.

“Okay. I’ll let you go for the night, Ms. Lavender. Call a nurse if you need anything. See you tomorrow.”, the doctor says with a small smile as he gets up and leaves.

I turn to Harry and Louis as soon as the doctor gets out of the door. “Okay, explain everything. Why are you guys so sad?”

They look at each other and Louis says slowly and softly, “We’re your friends, Bella. We’re just sad that you don’t remember”, he pauses while trying to figure out the right words, “We’re sad that you don’t remember all we’ve been through together. Or even us. Or who we are.” He bites his bottom lip to stop himself from crying.

At that moment Liam and, shit! I forgot the blonde one’s name. This is going to be awkward. Well, Liam and the blonde one walk into the room. I make eye contact with the blonde one. This is my time to ask him.

“I’m really sorry”, I begin, “This is kinda embarrassing but, what’s your name again?” I can feel everyone looking at me and the blonde guy’s eyes stare at me silently for a minute, “I’m sorry. I wouldn’t ask if I knew but I really just forgot.”

I feel bad. These strangers obviously care about me. I mean, two of them haven’t left my room and the other two have visited multiple times now.

“My name is Niall”, the blonde boys says before he sits down and looks at the floor.

“Can you guys talk to me please? I mean, if I have to live with one of you, can you just tell me about yourselves?” I ask. I know nothing about these people. And now I have to live with one of them! “What do y’all do for a living?”

Liam smirked, “We sing.”

“You sing? Are you any good?” I smirk along with him.

“We’re alright. We’ll have to sing for you one of these times.”

“Okay, I look forward to it.” I say giggling a little.

“You don’t remember anything about us?” Niall asks.

This question makes me sad. Because I’m trying really hard to remember, but I just simply can’t. “No. I’m really sorry. I’m trying though!”, I say with as much hope as I can give him, “Was the car accident my fault? Is it my own fault that I lost my memory?”

Harry drops his head again and all the guys look at him. So I look at him too.

“No. We were hit on our way to dinner about a week ago. The police said it was a drunk driver.”, Harry says swallowing his tears.

“You were there too?”

“Yeah, we were going to dinner.”

I like Harry. He’s strong on the outside, but I can tell he’s soft and emotional on the inside. He seems to really care about me too. It also helps that he’s incredibly good looking.

Yeah, I like Harry.
