In The Memory.

Awaken

I woke to the sound of pounding against my window, I look to the direction of my roommate to see if she had heard it too. To my surprise,  her position is the same as if nothing had happened, I sit on my bed for a few moments and forget what had woken me in the first place, until the banging happened again. I stand up and walk towards the window across the room, and there's barley any light , that I could assume it was well into the night. I reach to open the window curtain, and there he was. A guy around my age was crouching on my window-sill. Awe overcame me as I stared at him, and study the way his silver-blonde hair looked as though it was glowing against the moonlight, we both stare at each other as if we were the only two people on earth, then I hear shuffling and a moan coming from my roommate and I immediately snap back into reality. I open the window for the boy, to let him inside, even though I didn't know him, I felt as though I could trust him. As I opened the window goosebumps spread across my body and a shiver was sent down my spine, the night air was cold. As he climbed into my room I was once again lured into staring at him intensely, as I studied him even more, I noticed how tall he was, now that he was standing in front of me, I would assume he would most likely be six-foot.
I come back to my senses and start to look at him with confusion, I continued to stare at him and a smirk appeared on his face, and there I thought he's quite good looking.                                    [I wonder what he wants?]. Lost in my thoughts,  I feel a sudden warmth around my body, and before I knew it, the boy had me in his arms, giving me a gentle yet firm hug. At this moment I was completely confused on how to react to this sudden affection.                                               [Maybe he's cold?], I stand there as he continues his embrace. He soon then let's go and smiles at me.
"Thank God your alright... You have no idea how worried I was....I'm so sorry you had to find out this way... But we can go through all of this.... Together", he smiles once again after saying this to me. By now,  words could not describe what I was thinking, but if I we're to sum it up, I would say [he probably escaped from a hospital or something]  or [that a screw had gone loose in that brain of his].
"I honestly have no-.... ", as I was speaking he places his index finger on top of my lips and hushes me... "Shhh... You don't have to say anything..... I know... ", he smiles and starts to lean in towards me, as his face draws closer to mine, I notice his intentions and push him away with all my strength. Without knowing my own strength he had ended up on the floor, while on the floor, he looks at me with confusion and quickly gets back on his feet.
"Alex... What's wrong? Don't you remember me? ",
"Remember you? I don't even know you... ", once I had said those few words, the expression on his face changed dramatically,  as he continues to look at me,  I felt some sort of guilt towards him. The guy continued to have his face fixed on me, and I refused to look him straight in the eyes because I was afraid I would somehow encourage his behaviour if I we're to continue to look at him with such familiarity.  After a few moments of silence, I hear footsteps coming from outside my room, I turn quickly to see if someone would walk into the room, but luckily they just walked past. When I turned to face the boy, he was gone.
The rest of the night went on slowly, and it was difficult for me to sleep because the image of the guys face kept reappearing, every time I closed my eyes, [why do I feel so bad? Am I supposed to know him? Is he from my school?], questions filled my head the whole night and when I finally got some sleep, I was awoken to my family, staring at me with concerned faces.
"Hey guys..... What are you doing here?, did Samantha let you in?", the looks on their faces continued, [what's going on?], I look to my mum who is holding my left hand really tight. My mum's face looked as though she hasn't slept in weeks and it looked as though she's been crying.
"Mum.. What's wrong?  You don't look so good, have you been sleeping well?.......Are you still upset that I didn't come to visit over the holidays?.... Mum?". My mum just stares at me without changing her expression, I started to become really worried. As I was trying to piece things together, I sit up and observe the room I was in, I'm not at my dorm I'm at a hospital! I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my ribs and I start to have trouble breathing, [what's happening? Why does everything hurt all of a sudden?], the pain I felt is suddenly dulled when I feel someone grab my hand,  I turn to see who it was and it was my best friend Mason Heiu. Mason held my hand tight and I slowly forget about the pain I was in.  I hear the door open and walking into the room was the Doctor and my Dad.
