Song: Don't Leave Me by P!nk
~~~~~
Toms p.o.v.

"What is your full name?"

"Captain Jordan Sparklez."

"How old are you?"

"...er..."

"Forget that one. On to the next. Where is your birthplace?"

"Um..."

Dec sighed and put another X on his sheet. "Okay. Fairly simple question. What is your husbands name?"

"I don't...have a husband."

"YES YOU DO!" I screamed at him. He flinched back in his chair with frightened brown eyes.

"Thomas! It is not your turn to speak!" Dec scolded me. I huffed and crossed my arms.

Let me explain to you what's happening right now. We're asking Sparklez a bunch of questions about himself and us. Apparently, he's lost all memory of...well everything in the past year. Even further than that, he's forgotten. But that's not the worst part.

He is denying our marriage. He is flat out saying he never remembers us even going out and he's freaked out by the fact that I keep insisting he's gay. He keeps telling me he's 100% straight.
It's breaking my heart into a million pieces.

Dec repositioned his clipboard and sighed. "Now, let's ask a few more."

"What's the point?" Tucker scoffed. "He clearly doesn't remember a thing before we got here. We're just confusing the shit out of him."

"We need to see how much he remembers. Now Jordan...do you remember all of these people in the room?" Dec motioned toward all of us, which was Sonja, Tucker, Wag (who was extremely hung over), Lola, Tiff, and me. The room was actually extremely crowded, since we were all crammed into one of Decs hospital rooms.

"...everyone but them." He pointed at Lola Tiff, and Wag. Their faces fell a little when the words left his mouth. Especially Lola's. She looked like she could cry any minute now.

"Okay, that's good. Just a couple more. What is the last thing you remember before being here?"

Sparklez scrunched up his eyes brows in thought. "I think...I was fishing with Capsize? Yeah we had a fishing competition. Wait, where is she? Did she go home?"

I heard the entire room take in a sharp breath. He doesn't know she's dead.

Wag spoke first. "Jordan...a lot has happened in the past year. Perhaps we should slowly...and very carefully...tell you what's happened."

"What do you mean? Is...where is she? Where's Kate?" His voice sounded frantic.

"You want the bad horrible and heartbreaking news first or the good news?" Tucker asked him.

"...the bad news." His voice wavered slightly. I wish I could hug him.

"She's d-"

"She's fine!" Sonja interrupted Tucker, punching him in the stomach in the process. "Just went on an adventure with Red beard and Rupert! She said she'd be back in a little while, maybe a few days. She came here with us after we defeated Dianite and rescued Ianite. Isn't that great?"

"Oh thank god. I thought you were gonna tell me she was dead or something. Thank you Sonja." He smiled at her, and she gave a pitying smile back. I could feel my heart slowly crumbling piece by piece. He doesn't remember us. He only remembers her. Why couldn't they just say she's dead? He's gonna figure it out soon enough. He has my ring on his finger for gods sake.

"Sonja can I talk to you in private?" I asked through my clenched jaw. She nodded and walked out into the hallway, me following her. When I closed the door, I drug her outside Decs place. I know I'm gonna be yelling, so I don't want him to hear me. He already thinks I'm insane.

As soon as we stepped outside, I started yelling.

"Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I screamed.

"Calm down! Do you want him to have to go through the Capsize phase again? Do you remember how miserable he was when we first got here? He wouldn't even move from the prison cell we were in until Andor convinced him to!"

As much as I hated the idea of him thinking she was still alive, I knew Sonja was right. He can't go through that again. That was the worse he'd ever been.

"We just need to find something to bring him back to normal and he'll go back to loving you endlessly. It'll be okay Tom. He's still your husband. He's just got a different view on things right now."

I couldn't stop the tears from coming. I thought I wanted this, to not be married and go back to how things used to be. Why did I want this? I love him with every inch of my being. I want him to come back to me.

"What even made him like this? The thing in his drink? Who would've done this? Who could be this horrible and ruin everything we've worked for for a solid year?"

"I have an idea."

Sonja and I both jumped at the new voice. I turned around to see who had picked up on the conversation, and was extremely surprised on who it was.

It was a wizard, but it wasn't Matt, the one we'd been hanging out with. This guy looked a lot more intimidating. His fiery blue eyes felt like they were burning into my soul. The fact that his robe and eyes were the only thing I could visibly see was even more creepy.

"Let me tell you a story about a man named Botan Kikoku."

~

Botan Kikoku lived long ago, even longer than the wizards. He was the father of the three gods. He was the author of many books about time and the universe. He went by the name World Historian for a long time, so no one would suspect him of writing these things.

The gods grew to be wise and powerful. They all surpassed their fathers expectation, and were even more powerful than he had ever been. This made him bitter and jealous. He tried to destroy his children and the world, leaking his presence into many dimensions to destroy what life he could. He can take any shape or form. He can drive mortals insane.

He drove my husband insane and made him forget me.

At the party, the were several people who claimed they saw a girl start talking to Sparklez while he was alone on the couch. And those people also said they saw the girl drop a pill into his drink. I learned from Tom and Phil, that the girl at the party with a smoking hot body and a flawlessly perfect face, was Botan. He took the form of a cute girl to make Sparklez nervous and distracted so he could sabotage his drink.

At first I didn't believe it. I didn't want to believe an ancient evil was driving my husband to madness and making him forget his life. But then they showed me pictures. Tom had been at the party because he sensed that something was terribly wrong at Dagrun, and Wags place was the only place where there were actual people. And when he saw the girl on the couch, he immediately knew who it was. He didn't attack Botan though, because he knew if he did another war would break out and he didn't want to exterminate all of humanity in a matter of seconds.

Instead he took pictures. He took pictures of that son of a bitch. Took pictures of him walking away with an inhuman smile on his face, his eyes turning into a dark grey as he walked away from his crime scene. How could someone be so smug about ruining somebody's life? Jordan was innocent. He did nothing wrong. Why would this evil want anything to do with him?

And that's what I kept screaming at the wizards for an entire hour.

Tom sighed in frustration. "Look, it's all about god quintessence. It's what he lives on. He drains the quintessence from everything so the world will end, and if he keeps this up, it will. The weather patterns are getting stranger and stranger, and he just eliminated a potential soldier that could defeat him. Two gods are dead and an extremely devout follower lost his mind. No wonder the world is ending. There is only one god remaining, and he is next to powerless against Botan..."

"Yeah I don't care about any of that. How do I fix Sparklez?"

Toms face turned a deep shade of red. I don't care about me making him mad. I care about my Sparklez. I want him back, and they just keep avoiding the question.

"Tom, calm down. He's a mortal. We don't hurt them remember?" Phil patted him on the back slightly, like he was trying to pet a ticking time bomb.

"Could you perhaps worry about the world for a moment and not your precious husband? He's lucky Botan didn't kill him on the spot. He kills most of the followers and champions anyway..." He acted like he didn't even care about Sparklez. Wasn't he friends with him? Doesn't he want to help him get his life back?

"I don't care about the world ending. Sparklez is my world. If he doesn't even remember our marriage...then thats just as bad as him not knowing who I am."

"Syndicate, we'd love to help Jordan, but right now we must focus on preventing any further damage from Botan. I would suggest helping him become familiar with his surroundings. He doesn't have a clue as to where he is, does he?" Phil asked.

"No...he doesn't," I admitted.

"Then show him around. Tell him of what's happened in the last year so he isn't confused."

"Fine." I stood up from Sonja's couch and stomped out the door. I don't want to show him around. He barely knows me. Right now he thinks I'm insane, so why would he be willing to go with me?

I flew over to Decs place in a few short minutes and landed next to the door. Before I could even knock, the door swung open.

And suddenly I was face to face with my husband.

"Oh hi Tom. Er, could you maybe help me get home? Wherever I live? The others left awhile ago so I just left too."
He's so awkward. And then I remembered back at Mianite, he was always like this. He was shy and a huge nerd that was gullible as hell. I wonder how much he remembers about me. I can't really remember what I was like a year ago.

"Yeah sure. But can I ask you a question?"

He shrugged. "Sure."

"What's the last thing you remember about me?"

"Oh. Um...I think...you were trying to break into my vault? It was purge day so...as usual I was guarding everything from you." He laughed quietly.

That's all? He doesn't remember us going to Ianerea? Saving Ianite?

"Alright. I'll show you your house." I guess I'll show him the towers? But he hasn't went there in ages. He always stayed with me in the tree.

~

"Yeah so this is your place." I motioned towards the huge towers looming over us.

He looked amazed. "I built this?! How?!"

"Beats me." But I knew how he built it. Dianite gave him a builders wand.

He looked down from the towers and to me. He looked confused. "Why are you acting so weird?"

Because you're the love of my life and you don't remember me.

"No reason."

He narrowed his eyes at me. "There has to be a reason. You aren't this quiet and sad all the time. Usually you're dying to throw me off something."

"You want the truth?" I have a feeling you're not gonna believe me.

"...I guess."

"Well I already told you were married. That's one reason."

He laughed in my face. "You expect me to believe that? Come on. I expect a better lie next time."

"It's not a joke!" I barked at him.

He rolled his eyes. "Of course it's not."

I could feel my temper rising. "Whose ring do you think that is on your finger Jordan?!" I pointed at the shiny jewel on his ring finger. He looked down and examined it, confusion clouding his eyes.

"...what? How did this get here?" He studied it like it was a foreign object.

"I put it on there! On our wedding day! I made these for you!" I pointed at my ring as I yelled at him.

"...how do I know you didn't just put it on me while I slept?"

"Because I didn't! Because I didn't..." I sobbed. Why did he take my husband away? Why?

"Hey Tom calm down...I didn't mean to make you cry...this is just really unbelievable." I felt him pat my back. "I'm straight and I'm dating Capsize. Even if I was gay, why would I marry you? You're like the meanest person to me."

"Capsize is dead..." I sputtered. I didn't want him to go through the pain, but he needs to know the truth.

He didn't say anything, so I continued. "She died the day we confronted Dianite. We tried to get her back after we saved Ianite, but it was too late. We had to jump into a void to get back to the over world. We ended up here...we made new friends. We made new enemies. Me and you...we fell in love. And I know that's hard to believe but...you have to believe me. I love you so much and it hurts so bad that you don't remember us being together."

Nothing. He didn't say a word. I could still feel his hand lingering on my back, and I wanted so badly to just kiss him and hug him and be with him again.

"Show me proof, " he said with no emotion at all.

"What proof do you want?"

"Prove to me that were married and that Capsize is dead and that you love me."

"How?"

"I don't know. Pictures, videos, stuff that'll prove to me all of this stuff you're claiming."

My cellphone.

I practically ripped it out of my pocket and rushed to get to the pictures. I know there are some on here of us. I know it.
And there were. The first one to pop up was one of us in the cave. He was stretched out on a blanket with a big smile on his face, and I was sticking my tongue out at him. I showed it to Jordan.

"It's just a selfie," he said. "That doesn't prove anything."

"What do you want then? You said pictures and I showed you a damn picture!"

"Don't get mad, I'm just saying that doesn't prove anything about us!"

"What proof do you need?!"

"I don't know! Proof!" He threw his hands up in exasperation.

I'll show you proof.

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him.
