Contemplating Memories (Full and Starting)

[elphy_and_fiyero]

What would you do if your lost it all?

Your memories.

Would you try and remember or start something new?

How would you cope with life?

These were the questions Jack asked herself after the accident. It was raining and Jack was coming home from a party, his best friend, Suzy, in the passenger seat. He had told her it was time to go home. Neither one of them had any drinks though there was alcohol at the party. The two laughed about none sense but deep down he wanted to tell her something. That he loved her. He felt it was right. However, right as he was about to tell Suzy how he felt the car was T-boned.































A few days later Jack woke up in the hospital not remembering anything. Who he was, who his family were and who Suzy was. It was all gone. Slowly he was introduced back into reality. He would only remember one piece but still he it was hard for him to believe that his was this Jack person everyone talked about.

What will happen? Will he remember everything or start anew? Can he fall for her again?

I was born under Suzanne Elizabeth Jacobs.
But my friends call me Suzy or Suzu
I’m 17 years old.
Here’s what you need to know about me I was raised an army brat so we moved a lot. I always made new friends but never was there long enough to get closer. That is until our final move. During my freshman year of high school, we moved and that’s where I met Jack. He became my best friend fast and life was never the same again. Thankfully, dad told us he had no plans of moving until he would retire.

I was born under Jack Reads.
But my friends call me Jacky, or Jack jack.
I’m 18 years old.
Here’s what you need to know about me I was born to a couple that didn't think they could have a child. My mom thought she was infernal but well... At thirty two she got pregnant with me. I their only child and they were increasingly supportive, especially when I started leaning towards the more anti-social of interests. I got into comic books and gameing, music and computers. Falling away from the sports and the community service projects that my parents wanted me to do. In high school though I did start making some close friends and it was great that they accepted me for who I was.

Jack was never one for parties, but Suzu liked them and he liked spending time with her. The boy stood patiently by the door as the girl got her jacket and said good night to the girl who's house the party was in. Most of the kids were drunk but Jack had only drunk a coke, he knew he would be driving and he wasn't a big fan of alcohol to begin with. The kid could never hold his drink. He tried drinking once about a year ago and got so sick he decided that he wouldn't be trying that again any time soon.

Suzy finality was ready to go and he held the door for her as they walked out into the night, he was parked down the street. The girl walked a bit slower then he normally did so he slowed his pace to match hers.

"Thanks Suzu, that was sure an interesting party. Kathy's nice. "

Kathy had been the girl who's house was holding the collection of now drunken teens. The boy smiled and stopped when they got to his 2003 red Ford car. He held open the door for her to get into the passenger's seat before going around to sit in the drivers seat. He put the key in the ignition, turned on his lights and checked his mirrors before pulling away from the curb. They set off towards Suzy's house not to far from the party. It was only about a mile and a half away.

"So Suzy. Um. HOw long ave I known you? Four years?"  

[elphy_and_fiyero]

The party was a hit thanks to Suzy. Kathy was a good friend of hers and dragged Suzy into helping her making the party come to life. Jack had taken her and they both had a great time. Both only had sodas where everyone else drank to their hearts content. Near the end of the night, Suzy could tell Jack wanted to leave, so it was time to go. Suzy remembered the one time Jack had alcohol and it wasn’t pretty. At least, not to him. If it wasn’t for her, the video of him drunk would have hit youtube in no time resulting in his parents finding out and Suzy no longer having great plans for her weekend.

“Bye, Kathy.” Suzy said in the hug. “Don’t let anyone drive home drunk. Promise me.” Suzy pulled away to make sure Kathy agreed. When she did, Suzy left it at that and followed Jack out. All in all, it was a great night and she had fun with Jack the way she always did. She always knew she could with him around.

“Of course, Jacky. I would never go to a party without you.” Suzy replied to Jack. “And I told you she was nice. Everyone loves her.” Suzy thought of setting up Jack and Kathy to get together but thought against it. Just the idea of Jack being with another girl bugged her. As usual, Jack held the door open as well as the car door. When she got in the car, she didn’t really think much of Jack’s question.

“Yeah, about four years.” She answered as she put on her seatbelt.  

[dragonhealer]

The roads were quiet and Jack kept his eyes a head of him, making sure to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. He was a safe driver, especially when he had other people in the car with him. Suzy agreed that it had been about four years and the boy nodded as if in thought.

"Yeah. Wow. It feels like I've known you my whole life though. Ya know? Like you've always been there for me... So I was thinking."

Jacky paused taking a breath to think about how best to ask the girl to go out with him as a date, not just as a friend. She was amazing, his ideal girl... But he wasn't very good at this kind of thing. He turned the corner and his brain raced to think of the best way to ask her. He didn't want to sound to creepy or so weird. He also didn't want it to sound like she had to say yes or their friendship was over forever and she had to walk home.

"Do you wanna go out with-"

Out of no where there was a loud smash that hit the driver's side, A speeding truck slammed into the car T-Boning it and Jack screamed and in moments his world faded into nothing. He was knocked out by the impact. The air bags deployed and in about a minute sirens could be heard. two minutes later police were getting Jack's body out of the wreckage and questioning anyone else they would find. Jake was a mess, bloody and broken. He was still breathing though and so they loaded him into an ambulance and away he went.  

[elphy_and_fiyero]

One minute I was sitting in the car with Jack, the next another car was smashing into Jack’s car. I blacked only to wake up. Lights were flashing and EMT’s were running to our car. I could hear Jack’s door popping open right before mine did. I saw a light flash in one eye and then another.

“Can you hear me?” The EMT asked. “What’s your name?” He asked again. I muttered my name because that was all I could muster up. I felt weak. My body ached as he started to bandage me up. One thing suddenly came to my mind. Jack. My eyes went wide. I tried to turn my head but a piercing pain erupted from my neck. “Woah, Suzy. Don’t move your neck. It may be broken. Lie still, we’re going to get you two out of here.”

I was taken to a gurney and into the back of an ambulance. I didn’t even see what Jack looked like. I probably looked like @#!*% . I felt like it. The ambulance rushed me to the hospital where I was taken to get bandaged and x-rayed. In the end, I was fine apart from a broken rib and a few cuts that required some stitches. I was lucky.

Mom nearly cried when she saw me. I did too when I saw her. She was a sign of relief. “What happened?” Mom cried into our hug. She hugged me so light I could tell she was afraid she was crack another rib.

“Jack and I just left the party. Neither one of us were drunk.” I pulled away and looked her straight in the eye. “Mom, they won’t tell me about Jack. I’m scared.” I could feel more tears falling from my cheeks. My mom was a lawyer which meant if anyone could get answers out of doctors, it was her.  

[dragonhealer]

Jack had a handful of doctors rushing around his body each had a different task that needed to be completed correctly to keep his hear beating and air flowing into and out of his lungs. He was not doing well at all. Ever few moments some one would shout something to a nurse and the nurse would run and get something, that might keep him alive a little bit longer, it was three hours before he was even stable. And even then it was a very fragile stable. No one had called Jack's parents. And even if they did, they were out of town this weekend. Jack was basically out for the count and alone.

The end product was a stable Jack who had a two broken legs, a broken arm, four cracked ribs, a broken hip, a head injury, and plenty of internal bleeding. There was more but those were the big ones. Jack was basically a vegetable right then. There was a nurse keeping an eye on him but other then that the room was now empty. There were plenty of tubes in him and he covered in bandages.  

[elphy_and_fiyero]

It hurt to stand. My muscles ached but I wanted to see Jack. Just the fact that he was alive would set my mind at ease. My mom talked nonstop to doctors, nurses and anyone else who would listen to her lawyer tone. Jack’s parents were out of town. I tried calling them but it went straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail on his mom’s phone, hoping she would call me back soon. I was pacing in the lobby, thanks to my mom, I was able to go home sooner than expected but I wasn’t going anywhere.

My mom walked up to me with a happier attitude but she was still grim. “We can see him but from what the doctors are telling me, it’s not going to look good.” I didn’t care that was all I needed.

“What room is he in?” I asked. As soon as my mom uttered the numbers, I got to his room as quickly as possible but I didn’t go very far. My legs were too painful. A nurse grabbed me and escorted me to a chair. No doubt, I would not be able to go home just yet. But I was on a mission. I rolled into Jack’s room and, if it wasn’t for the chair, I would have fallen over. The only sound in the room was the beeping of the machine. It was a reassurance that he was alive but he looked terrible.

I rolled my chair closer to his bed. The nurse in the room watched me. I knew she wanted to kick me out but she wouldn’t. Not now. I could feel more tears forming as I continued to look at him. The more I did, the more I hated seeing him like this. Somehow, I wanted to blame this on myself. What would his mom think? Would she think it my fault? From behind me I felt hands rest on my shoulders. I knew mom had walked in. My father would have come but he had been in Iraq for the past year. Mom would call him later to tell him what happened.

I didn’t want to go back to my room. If it were up to me, I would have stayed in his room all night but I knew, at some point, I would have to go back to my room. But for now, I would stay by his side until he, at least, awoke.

{Should we time skip?}}  

[elphy_and_fiyero]

(Yeah, sure. Maybe she knows he's awake but not about his amnesia.)  

[dragonhealer]

Eight days passed...The boy opened his eyes to see light he gasped finding tubes coming out of his nose and attached to his arms. He was in pain and... Where was he?

"Ahh."

The machine attached to him started beeping loudly and a nurse rushed into the room which a clip board. She stood beside the kid and started asking him questions...
Can you hear me?
"Yeah, yeah."
Are you in pain?
"Yeah."
What's your name?
"... My head hurts... Can you ask me again later?"

The nurse rushed out to fetch a doctor so that Jack could get a new medication cocktail. The kid blinked a few times and looked around the room, It was now empty except for a girl with long pretty brown hair, and kind features.

"Hey."

He smiled. It was a polite smile but a smile none the less, he wondered why the girl was in his room, but maybe she.... He didn't know.  

[elphy_and_fiyero]

I had checked out of the hospital seven days ago. Every day since then I stayed in his room. I even got to know the nurses. His parents had come home almost immediately hearing my message. They came to see Jack and me every day but today they had to work like any day. I was sure they would be back before diner. My arm was still wrapped in bandages. I still had stitches. I still felt like crap but I was getting better.

Today was like the rest of the days since I was released from the hospital. I had fallen asleep in the chair next to Jack’s bed. But, today, when I awoke, Jack’s eyes opened and I smiled at him. I ran out of the room and grabbed the first nurse I could find. She pulled out his tubes and asked him some questions. The nurses told me it was standard to make sure his brain was fully working and it was.

When the nurse left, I turned back to Jack with tears in my eyes. “Hi,” I smiled as I moved closer to his bed. “You’ve been out for eight days. If you scare me like that again, I’ll put you in worse conditions than you are.” I teased with a smile. It was good to have him back but something in his eyes was off. Almost as if he didn’t recognize me. “Do you-“ I stopped myself. I was afraid to ask though I felt like I had to. “Do you remember me?”  

[dragonhealer]

Now that the tubes were out of his nose and he could breath right he sighed cringing as his lungs expanded larger then they had in days, putting pressure on his rib cage and making pain shoot up his torso. The girl started talking to him and he tried to figure out what she was doing here without being rude... She looked upset, he wondered what happened. Apparently he had been out for over a week, and they were close enough that she could joke about hurting him.

The girl caught on though she looked him in the eye and he blinked giving the same polite smile. She asked if he remembered her and he couldn't lie...

"Uh, no sorry. Should I?"

The kid didn't even know his own name, how would he know who this girl was? The boy tried to move his left arm only to find... it was in a cast. As was his right forearm and wrist and his left leg. He decided that something horrible had probably happened to him.

"... What happened?"
