MY SO-CALLED LIFE [SLOWLY BEING EDITED]

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 16

I woke up that morning to find Brandon sleeping on  my  bedside. I couldn't help but smile, I might not remember much about him but I don't know how I got so lucky to have him by my side. Despite of my memory loss, he didn't leave me and for that I am very thankful.

I put my hands on his cheeks and I started caressing it with my fingers when he stirred up. He opened his eyes and smiled at me.

"Good morning sleeping beauty!" I joked at him

"I should be telling you that. How are you feeling?" he asked

"I'm okay, I just can't wait to get out of here. I know you're my fiancee and all but it feel like we have to start from square one the 'getting to know each other' part? So tell me about us. How did you propose? How long exactly have we been together? Are we getting married anytime soon?"

"Whoa! Whoa! Slow down princess, we'll talk about that when you get out of here. Right now, you need to rest so your body will heal faster." I pouted.

Not too long after that the doctor walked in.

"I see you're already awake. How are you feeling? Anymore soreness?"

"No. Honestly, I'm perfectly fine. I just want to go home. Another day at this place, I swear I'll go insane." I whined

"Good because you can home today, if your x-rays come back normal, I will release you this afternoon. Sounds good?"

"Sounds awesome! Thank you doctor!"

BRANDON'S P.O.V

I woke up feeling like someone touching my face. I flauter my eyes open and immediately realized that it Angela caressing my cheeks.

"Good morning sleeping beauty!" she joked while smiling down at me.

Oh how I love that smile she wears on her face. She's glowing when she smile.

"I should be telling you that. How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"I'm okay, I just can't wait to get out of here. I know you're my fiancee and all but it feel like we have to start from square one the 'getting to know each other' part? So tell me about us. How did you propose? How long exactly have we been together? Are we getting married anytime soon?"

Guilt slowly eating me up inside for having to lie to her about us. I don't know how long I can last with this but I just hope she gets her memory back soon. Think Brandon! Think! What exactly do I tell her? 'Well, let's see your father physically abused you, and which by the way raped you and oh yah we met not too long ago and I was such a jerk to you which you probably originally hate me before your suicidal attempt.' NOT! I can't tell her that. So instead I found a way to stir my own story.

"Whoa! Whoa! Slow down princess, we'll talk about that when you get out of here. Right now, you need to rest so your body will heal faster"

Well, that wasn't actually a lie, she did needed her rest for her body to heal. I was about to say something when the doctor walked in. Whew!Saved by the doctor!

"I see you're already awake. How are you feeling? Anymore soreness?"

"No. Honestly, I'm perfectly fine. I just want to go home. Another day at this place, I swear I'll go insane" she complained

"Good because you can home today, if your x-rays come back normal, I will release you this afternoon. Sounds good?"

"Sounds awesome! Thank you doctor!" she said excitedly grinning from ear to ear.

After the doctor left she looked at me then smiled, I couldn't help but smile back. It's really nice to see this side of her. Smiling, so care-free.

"Aren't you excited? I finally get to go home! Wait! Do we live together?" she asked

I sunk back on my seat. This is one the things I was dreading to happen. One of the lies I had to create. One simple lie I did and now I'm digging deeper on my own grave.

After my conversation with Patrick the night when Angela woke up. He and I decided that it's best for Angela to stays with me. So I called my mom after I talked to Patrick and explained to her what the situation is. Honestly, she was not too happy about my decision but I'm basically trapped now.

So, she's meeting up with Patrick today to move some of Angela's stuff to my house. She'll make it look like Angela's been living with me for a while.

"Honey what's wrong?" she asked looking at me with worried expression.

"Uhm nothing." I shook my head and trying to give her a forced smile.

"So do we live together?"

"Yup!"
