Confusion

He was telling the truth. Leo really does love me, but I can't accept his feelings. I'm ashamed of how I ran from him after the kiss, leaving him by himself but I can't do it. I can't find myself going out with someone who is precious to me. I turned on my bed and thought of what to tell him the next day as I drifted off to sleep.

The next morning as I was waking to school, I realized that Leo hadn't arrived yet. I considered the possibilities of what could have happened. He could be late for class because he's asleep. He could be heartbroken because of me. I decided to not worry and walked into class.

He didn't show up.

After school, I walked home and decided I would check to see if he was home. Then I got a call that would change my life forever.

\~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~

I woke up. And blinked. My surroundings blinded me. I was lying something soft. Maybe a bed? But where was I? I sat up and collapsed, my head spinning. Then, there was a voice crying out. "Doctor!"

A strange man appeared staring at me with concern.

" Are you alright?"

" My head hurts and the room is spinning."

Then a women came in.

" Leo! Are you alright!? Are you hurt? How could this happen?"

" Mrs. Tanner! Please calm yourself. Your son is hurt and we need to know if there is anything to do to help. Now, Mr. Tanner could you describe what happened last night?"

" I don't remember."

" What do you mean?"

" I don't remember. "

\~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~

Beep Beep Beep

My phone was ringing. Who would be calling be right now? I picked it up and answered.

"Hello?"

"SKYLER COME TO HOSPITAL QUICKLY!" Beep.

That sounded like Leo's mom but why would she call me? I grabbed my coat and walked out of the house. The hospital wouldn't be far but it was cold at night. I reached the hospital in 10 minutes and walked in. Mrs. Tanner was sitting in a chair and she looked as though she had a rough time. I walked up to her.

"Um... Mrs. Tann-."

"Skyler."

She looked up at me, tears rolling down her face.

"He doesn't remember."

"What do you mean?"

"Go in and see...please...maybe, just maybe..."

I walked to the door and looked at Mrs. Tanner once more. How did she come into this state?

I opened the door. And there with my own eyes, I saw him. Leo was lying on the bed with a distant look. A bandaged was wrapped around his head.

"Leo, what happened! Are you okay? When did-."

"Um. Who are you? I'm sorry. I don't remember anything. Did you know me?"

"What do you mean? Of course we know each other. Ever since I we were little."

" I'm sorry. I don't remember you."

I stared at him. This couldn't  be happening. Not now. Not after what happened. He looked at me with a confused look. I felt tears running down. I looked away. How could this have happened and what would happen now?

\~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~ \~

I lay on my bed, helpless. I didn't remember what happened or anything else. The doctor asked me a lot of questions but I didn't have an answer for anything. The woman sitting next to him who panicked earlier was still crying.

" So Leo, you don't remember anything? Anything at all?"

"No..."

"Looks like it's amnesia."

"Doctor, will he regain his memories."

"I can't be for sure, but for now we need to decide what will happen."

"I'm going to go catch my breath."

The woman got up without looking back and went out. The doctor left right after leaving me with unanswered question to who I was and what happened to me. I tried to sit up and dropped again. My head felt as though it would split apart. I lay there for a while trying to rid myself of the headache. After a while, it resided and I heard voices outside.

I dimly heard the door open. A girl walked in. She had blue eyes and blonde hair. She looked really pretty. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and her eyes were clear.

"Leo, what happened! Are you okay? When did-."

"Um. Who are you? I'm sorry. I don't remember anything. Did you know me?"

"What do you mean? Of course we know each other. Ever since I we were little."

" I'm sorry. I don't remember you."

I looked at her and tears came down her face. Who was she? Was she related to the woman outside somehow? I didn't remember her at all, but my heart hurt.

Ding

"AAHHHH!"

My head hurts. It feels like it's going to crack open. I hear people yelling in the sea of pain. Then everything turns black and I head into unconsciousness.
