Why

Chapter 2

"She has amnesia." The doctor said.

"Well is there anyway we can help her get her memory back?" Ross asked.

"I don't know. She might never remember who she was." The doctor sighed.

"Well, we're just going to have to hope she remembers, and take care of her ther best we can." Riker smiled looking at me.

I smiled back as I coloured in my colouring book. I was fine other then being sore and not being able to remember anything before I met my new friends. I mean I didn't really have anything to remind me of who I am. Well, I have my bag, but that's it. I have no clue what is in it, it's my life in a bag. I'm scared to go through it. I looked over at Rydel who looked to be having fun. She was humming as she coloured the picture on the opposite page to the one I was colouring.

I started drifting off from her soft voice as she started quietly singing. I dunno why she was singing, but I think it was to keep me calm because I'm kind of scared to be at the hospital. Everything smelled funny and there was just so many people here. I looked down at my nails that were now short from me biting them. Social Anxiety? Possibly. 

"She'll need something to ease her pain." Ellington said worried.

"Ah yes, I shall prescribe her something." The doctor said thinking of a pain killer.

"Anything but Penicillin." I said. "I'm deathly allergic to it."

Everyone looked at me strangely with wide eyes. They were studying me trying to figure out how I remembered something like that. I crouched into a ball hiding my face. I was to afraid to show it now that everyone was starring at me. "Okay, so it looks like she has a huge possibility of regaining her memory, but if she gets it all is another story that no one can predict." The Doctor smiled.

I slowly lifted my head up, curious to see if everyone was still looking at me. I looked to see six pairs of eyes looking at me. I tucked my head back into my arms looking like I was a little ball again. "Awe, Sweetheart, it's okay you don't have to hide your face." Rydel rubbed my back.

"I-I don't like p-people starring at me. I-it scares me." I said quietly.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sweetheart." Rydel wrapped her arms around me pulling me into a hug.

I hugged her back with the feeling of wanting to cry. I was scared a lot. I had no clue who I was, what happened, and on top of that I was hurting a lot. Rydel looked at my reddened eyes. I could tell she knew the fear I had within me. She could tell how much I wanted just to cry. "Its okay sweetheart, you can cry. No one will judge you." She gently rested her hand onto my head.

I took that as the 'it's okay now' message and let my tears flow. I honestly don't know what was going on, and I'll I knew was that I'm okay, and that I'll be fine in the hands of my new friends. Eventually I felt more and more arms wrapping around me with voices saying that everything is okay and that I'll be safe from now on because they weren't going to let anything happen to me. I felt relieved, I didn't know people could care so much. I didn't know the feeling of people caring for me. Was I really alone before now? Even if I was, I know that I wont be ever again.

After about ten minutes I stopped crying I moved my head that was buried in Rydel's chest. I looked up at Rydel's face, and saw that she had tears rolling down her cheeks with some black makeup from the eyeliner she was wearing. She had taken a deep breath and looked back at me wiping the tears on my cheek and smiled. "Everything is going to be just fine Rain. I promise." She quietly spoke to me.

I had so much feeling within me that I just couldn't express, so I just, out of nowhere, gave Rydel a giant hug. Everyone else started to pull back now reveling their faces that had tears streaming down their cheeks. Wow, did they all really cry because of me, because I was crying? It's like I'm family now, that's what it feels like. I don't think that I have ever had this feeling before. I like it, it's such a warm feeling. "Come on Rain, and everyone else, lets go get the pain killers." Riker's hushed voice spoked.
