Chapter 32

"Let's see, Ms Brooklyn Tomlinson?" The doctor eyed me and I gave a short nod. "So according to your papers, you fainted earlier?"

"I guess so, yeah." I shrugged, not entirely sure what had happened earlier. One second I was remembering a memory and the next I was opening my eyes to a frightened Niall. The complete fear in his eyes was what got to me. 

"Your eyesight is fine, no headaches, no extra fatigue?" At each question I shook my head and he checked them off the clipboard he was holding. "And this is the first time you've fainted?"

"Yes." 

"It looks like the fainting spell was due to the overwhelming memory," he hummed out as he inspected the sheet I had filled out before he came in.

"It wasn't that large of a memory though, it was short and sweet. Why would that cause me to faint?" I questioned, shifting in my seat just a bit. 

Doctor Nelson scratched at his chin. "Your body wasn't ready for the memory. The times before, you were kind of expecting it, I assume. This time your body was already weak, so the memory took a toll on you. Have you been stressed or fatigued lately?"

"Pretty stressed,"  I laughed quietly, "It's been a difficult few months."

"I understand that. Now, if this happens again, I suggest laying down ad placing a cold cloth on your forehead. Try to stay stress-free," Doctor Nelson suggested, before signing his name and handing me a slip of paper. "Any other questions?"

I hesitated, my fingers playing along the edges of the paper. I was hesitant to voice my worries, but maybe he would have advice. "Do you think it's possible to get my memory back? It's coming back in snippets, but I've hardly remembered four days out of the last three years.. Do you think it's hopeless?"

"I don't know the specifics of your car crash or the impact that was done on your head, but I can tell you that I've had a few patients before that have went through similar stories. Half of them remembered the entire gap within the first six months. But I will warn you now, the other half have bits and pieces come back but they still haven't fully recovered. If you go pass six months without a complete recovery, you might never get the full three years back. You could be remembering, like you have been, for the rest of your life," he warned. 

I nodded, clearing my throat in an attempt to keep tears from flooding my eyes. "Thank you."

"No problem, Brooklyn. If you have no further questions, I'll let you get on with your day."

"I'm good, have a nice day." I smiled politely before seeing myself out the door. Louis was in the waiting room, in the corner, his head buried in a book. It was slightly amusing at how hard he was trying to not be noticed. He looked up just as I exited.
