Chapter 7
Tatum's POV:
"Good morning Tatum"i hear my nurse Julie say
"Morning Julie "i greet.
" Are you ready for your daily morning routine"
"Can I have five minutes please"i ask.
"Sure, but only five minutes " she says with a smile and exits my room. It's been a week, since the day I found out that I was in an accident and lost my memory. It's really strange though. People that i know nothing about are the same people who I've known my whole life. But I'm not ready yet, to talk to them, my family. It's just too much. It's confusing too, because I don't know how to act, was I a good person in the past, how was my personality. There's so many questions I want to ask but not yet. I just don't feel like I'm ready to face them yet, I feel so out of place.
Julie comes back into my room and I nod letting her know that I'm ready for our routine
Toby's POV:
It's been a few weeks since Tatum's accident.
Even now I still can't believe what happened to her, but anyways Everything happens for a Reason, so she's safe from heartbreak as long as she's away from Samuel.
Brandon POV:
I know that I'm supposed to feel happy that I'll finally get a chance with Tatum but I feel as if all this is just wrong.
But it's the only way that I'll be able to call her mine.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts by the ring of my cell phone.
It's Brandon
I pick the phone up
He asked me to come with him 2 see Tatum, but she still doesn't wanna speak to us though, maybe she'll give us a chance today hopefully.
I grab my keys from the counter and head out on my way to the hospital.
When I arrive Toby is already here.
"Hey, did you hear anything yet, what did the doctor say, does she wanna speak to us? "i ask impatiently
" Yeah, yeah, she says that she'll speak to us but only if we come in one at a time, she wants to speak to us separately"Toby says.
This makes me a little nervous
What am I going to say to her.
What if she still won't like me, or believe that I'm not her boyfriend.
"Toby, you can come in now, she's ready to talk to you"I hear Mrs. Cornelius say.
I grab Toby by the shoulder before he walks in.
"Wait, what am I gonna say to her, how am I gonna tell her about us being in a relationship?"I ask him.
"Don't worry I'll tell her about that, but all you have to do is pretend you were dating each other for a long time so it shouldn't be a problem " he taps my shoulder, smiles and walks in.
Tatum's POV:
While I wait anxiously for my" boyfriend" Brandon to come in, I prepare myself for what I'm gonna ask him.
My family are really nice people,and my brothers really funny too.
He told me that me and Brandon have known each other since we were little and that he had officially asked me out when I was 15.He said that they were okay with it.
I wonder how our relationship was though. I wonder if our relationship was in a good place before I had the accident.
A knock on the door, snaps me out of my thoughts.
I clear my throat. "Come in"
A tall guy with brown hair and as his coming closer I see his amazing brown blue eyes.I didn't get a good look at him last time, but damn I have to say that he does look good.
"Hey, how are you feeling"he asks
"I'm coming by"i shrug.
"That's good " he says.There's an awkward silence between us, I don't know what to say.
"Umm, this is so weird it's like I'm meeting you for the first time, I don't know what to say" he says and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Yeah, it's so strange, like you've been my boyfriend for the last 3 years and I know nothing about you " i say realizing I just said that out loud.
" Yeah, well I hate seeing you like this, seeing you in pain hurts me so much"he says and Wow I just think my heart melted.
"It's ok, although I might not know you now, but I can feel that we had a strong bond"i say and he smiles
Which makes me feel less awkward now.
"Come closer "i say gesturing for him to come here. He moves a little closer but not enough.
"Come on Brandon" i say a little louder and impatiently then I open my arms showing him that I want a hug.
He come closer and wraps his arms around me slowly, probably afraid that he'll break me."Brandon,you realize that I'm not critical anymore, so it's safe to touch me"i say and grab him full force,but I bite my lip trying to keep in the stinging pain I feel throughout my body.I'm healing, but it still hurts. I feel comfortable in his arms though.
He holds me tight almost as if he's afraid I'll disappear.
I here soft cries.
"You scared me so much, I have no idea what I would've done if I had lost you, you're the most important person to me, I wouldn't be able to live without you"Brandon says and his voice almost breaks. He hugs me tighter. And I feel a tear slipping down my cheek. Wow our relationship must have really been a serious thing. I even feel sad that I might of lost him, this guy that I barely even know.
He tries to pull away but I pull him back.
"Just lay with me please, I need your comfort"i say softly and I feel him nod his head.He lays next to me and I make myself comfortable in his arms. I feel my eyes getting heavy and I drift off into sleep.I feel safe in his arms,this relaxes me completely.
A few hours later.
I woke up and Brandon was still sleeping, so I kissed him awake and asked him if I can see all of my family members together. He calls them all in.
They all look so happy, that I'm safe and that they got to talk to me.
"I just want to say that even though I don't know you guys anymore, I can feel that you're my family"i say
"Aww sweety"my mother Alina says and hugs me.
"yeah, but just one thing I'm wondering is why didn't you bring photos of me like memories to help me remember"i ask curiously and I wait while they're silent and mom and dad looks a bit uneasy.
Toby's POV:
What are we gonna say, the doctor hasn't told her about her face yet, he says that she'll have a panic attack and that it's not safe for her to know yet.
Brandon's POV:
Look how she's looking at us waiting for an answer, what do we tell her, do we tell her the truth? This is just so messed up, what if she asks for photos of us going out on dates, yeah I'm done for, she'll never forgive me if she new the truth.
"I'll go get the doctor"Alina says.
And walks out in a hurry.
Tatum's POV:
Everyone looks uncomfortable
Why,all I did was ask for photos of me.
Mom walks back in with the doctor.
"The doctor said that we should tell her " my mom says and I'm confused
"Tell me what?" i ask curiously
"Honey..."my mom starts off and walks closer.
"Sweety,the accident was so terrible that you had bruises everywhere, we need you to be calm ok"my dad says
"Ok"i say sounding more like a question.
"The doctors had to operate a face reconstruction surgery on you, so you look nothing like you used to " Toby says.
I'm stunned by what I just found out, so my identity changed.
" What, so you're saying that I look nothing like my old self"i say.
"But it's OK Sweety"
"How do you even know that I'm your daughter if I have a different face, what if I'm someone else's child and not your daughter"i feel my breathing getting heavy and everything just goes dark.
Brandon's POV:
The doctors rush in and puts us out of the room so that they can handle the situation. She fainted and her heart rate is going fast, so they will have to calm her down.
What did she ever do to deserve this. She's been nothing but a good person and now her whole identity has changed.
A few minutes later all the doctors leaves her room and they tell us that she is stable but has to rest because the news was very overwhelming.
"So when are we going to be able to speak to her again " Alina asks the doctor.
"I don't know, but Doctor Katherine will keep her under observation for the night as usual" the doctor says
"She just needs time " the doctor adds.
I just hope that she'll be okay.
