Recap:

After a couple more of gushing coming from her. "Mom, what happened to me? Why am I here? Why don't I remember anything?" I questioned her. I had so many questions to ask her but the only thing I really wanted to know was what happened to me. She was about to speak but was stopped by a knock  on the door.

Chapter II

My mom & I looked towards the person who came in with two girls trailing behind him. The guy looked about in his mid-twenties with long-ish brown hair reaching his neck. His eyes were a calming color of chocolate brown & his natural tanned skin showed that he just got home from somewhere hot. The girls behind him looked quite identical maybe sisters. I didn't get to think through what they could be to each other when the man spoke in a deep but  cheerful voice.

"Hey man! Nice to see you've open those pretty eyes of yours." he said. 

I chuckled at his statement, having absolutely nothing to reply at his comment.

"See! See! I still got my humour on & you two thought I could only ruin such a wonderful day." he pouted slightly & one of the girls just rolled her eyes at him. The other one though was staring at me with a curious expression on her face. She looked younger than the other girl with long brown curls & dark green eyes. However, she had a rounded face just like the other one.

"Uhmm.. Hi, I'm your goddaughter. Dad said you had quite a bump on your head that you might have memory loss of some sort." she said with a quiet voice that I could hardly hear.

"Oh. Uhh.. Yea, I don't remember much of anything. All I know is that I woke up in a hospital bed just a few hours ago & that that she," I pointed to my mother. "Is my mother. That's about what I could tell you."

"Oh. Uhh.." she looked down in such a way that made me want to tell her to tell me what was wrong. But I couldn't..

"Well, then since we're all here. Let's all get to know each again!" the guy said with such enthusiasm that you couldn't help but be affected by it. This guy could make one's life really happy, I thought.

"Hey, I'm Kendall. This is my wife, Alexia." he gestured to the girl on his right. "And this is my daughter, your goddaughter, Audrey." then to his left.

"Hi, nice to meet you all. I suppose you know who I am & that I'm sorry I have no memories of you guys. But I bet Audrey here is the best goddaughter anyone is going to have." I replied with a smile. I couldn't help but say something to her, her sad face is just so frustrating knowing that I was the cause of it. We must've been really close for someone to react like that. 

Instantly, like someone switched on the nub she smiled a shy smile up to me making me smile in return.

"So, how are you doing?" Alexia asked. She has long blonde hair & dark green eyes with a rounded face making her look like a moon. But she has a most polite smile I could have remembered seeing. 

"I'm doing fine, thanks. You guys? Looks like all of you just got home from your vacation." I stated.

"We j-just.." Kendall was about to reply when a knock came from the door. A nurse came in with a tray of food which does not look appetizing at all. It looked slobby & sluggish in all kind of ways.

"I'm sorry sir, ma'am but visiting hours have just ended. Sadly, no one is allowed to stay the night. Hospital rules." she looked sympathetically at us. Seeing as we all were just getting to know each other.

"Nah, it's okay. We'll just visit tomorrow, man. Feel better, ya hear?" he said in a funny accent. He leaned & gave me the man-hug thing then headed outside. Both Alexia & Audrey gave me a kiss on the cheek then waved good-bye. My mom was the last to move, she gave me a big hug telling me not to hurt myself  when I move, eat well but that she'd cook me some proper food when she gets back in the morning, I laughed at that at least I wasn't the only one who thought it was disgusting & that I should try to dream happy dreams tonight. I nodded throught her whole speech until she got to the door & waved good-bye.
