It was 9 am. I usually came by this hour to check on Naya in the hospital and how she was doing. Of course she was asleep at the time so I wouldn't be able to see her and talk to her but I didn't want to talk to her. I didn't want to see those eyes that I fell so in love with, knowing that she doesn't even remember me, or doesn't even remember when we first met or when our first kiss happened. Or when we first told each other we love each other. That honestly breaks my heart, I feel like I'm in love with someone that doesn't love me back, and that I should just move on because she won't get her memory back...then again there's always that voice, that in the back of my head saying that she will remember if you just try and make her remember, being more optimistic about it.
I walked around the hospital which has become know to me these past weeks. Once I arrived outside her room I opened the door slowly being careful not to wake her up. Shutting the door quietly I entered making my way inside.
"Hi" I jumped up when I heard a voice, her voice. I looked at her not knowing what to do...or say.
"Uh...h-hi" Jeez stuttering. It's like I'm talking to my crush...or better yet someone that I love.
"I saw you here the other time with two other people. I never got your name?" She sat up on the bed and smiled at me softly
"Demi. Demi Lovato" So smooth Demi, you're not James Bond.
"Oh nice to meet you Demi. I'm Naya, although you must know me because you're my friend" I just got friend zoned by Naya.
"Yup. Definitely your friend" I chuckled. I sat on the chair next to her bed and faved her bed
"So why are you here?" She asked cocking her head to the side a little like a puppy
"Um..." I looked down before staring at her "Just wanted to check in" she smiled
"You're such a great friend Demi. I bet you were one of my bestest friends, and if I could remember all of our happy times together then I would but I can't" she frowned "I guess we'll just have to make new memories together" she said looking at me with this familiar look she used to do when she tried not to act or look awkward but it just made her even more awkward
"Yeah..."

(2 weeks later)
"Just sign this and she'll be ready to go" I quickly signed the paper stating they had taken care of Naya and that she was free to go "Okay thank you. You can now go to her room" I entered her room quietly. I knew she wasn't asleep. Ever since she found out I came to visit her every morning she woke up earlier and by the time I was here she was already waiting for my company. I feel that every time I came we got closer and closer to each other if that was possible. At one point we were both staring at each other for a serious amount of time until one of the nurses came in breaking our eye contact, that was a week ago.
"So ready to go?" I said excitedly
"Definitely" She was already on her wheelchair and by hospital law you have to take patients by a wheelchair, not sure why.
Once we were outside the hospital, my car was waiting in front of it "Okay can you walk?"
She nodded and stood up like nothing
"Okay grab my hand, the doctor said your legs might be weak because your legs don't have as much muscle as they did 2 months ago" she grabbed my hand softly gripping on it tightly. She sat on the passenger seat quickly when we got to my car and I went running to the drivers seat wanting to get out of here.
"Put your seatbelt on" I told her making her furrow her eyebrows. Don't tell me she forgot what that is too. "Your seatbelt" I told her again. she gave me a confused look making me sigh. I reached over to her side and grabbed her seatbelt buckling it up
"Oh seatbelt! It thought you said a seek belt" I looked at her
"They don't even sound the same! And I was right next to you, how can you not hear it" she shrugged pouting.
I ended up taking her to my house instead of hers thinking that maybe she'll remember something about it, and something would click in her brain
"Wow! Your house is beautiful" she smiled showed no off her white teeth
"Uh...thank you" I lead her inside and once I did Buddy came out of nowhere and attacked Naya making her almost fall but she was able to keep her ground
"You have a dog?" I nodded. You gave me that dog. I smiled remembering that memory
"It was a gift from someone special" I said kind of distant "But hey! His names Buddy. Or um..Ash" I told her trying to see if she remembered that
"Ash? I love Ash. Can I call him Ash?" I nodded. You did after all name him that.
She sat on the couch and I sat a couple of feet away from her
"So miss international pop star" She started grabbing one of the papers that was on top of the little table in front of her. It was a magazine "It says her that 'New lover on the block for Demi? What does her girlfriend have to say about that.' You have a girlfriend?" I looked down
"Yes I do" She shook her head
"Don't mess around with other people if you have a girlfriend" She told me a little angry about it
"I wasn't messing around with anyone. She was messing around with me, I never did anything. And besides my girlfriend new about it" Jeez, I shouldn't even say girlfriend no more. Naya's not my girlfriend, she's a friend, well that's what she sees me as...a friend.
"Can I see a picture of her?"
"I'm staring right at her" I looked at her and waited for her reaction but there was no reaction. She just sat there confused.
"I mean that I was staring at the wall" I chuckled nervously "She's not here right now"
"Okay. I hope I can meet her, she must be nice like you" oh you have no idea.

The next couple of days were calm. Although every time I saw Naya I had the urge to just go up to her and kiss her, but I had to stop myself cause she didn't know that she's actually my girlfriend and well she'll probably never find it about it. I told her that me and my 'girlfriend that's not Naya' broke up so she would stop asking about her every day, because she does and all I can think of is Naya and everything I always tell her is literally about her like how does she not notice I'm always talking about her to her.
"Stop Chris you're going to make a mess" I was currently at a restaurant with Lea, Chris, and Naya who was sitting in front of me
"Well stop messing around with the forks" I mentally rolled my eyes at how childish they could be sometimes
"Guys can you not" They both stopped their bickering and continued eating their food
"So...Naya, I saw you and one of the models from Victoria Secret talking earlier" Lea wiggled her eyebrows looking at me while doing so. I looked at her trying to find out what game she was playing
"Um, yeah she's cool" Naya bluntly said taking a drink of water
"I thought I saw a connection between you two" I wanted to tell Lea to shut up but I didn't want to look like a bitchy person in front of Naya
"I mean if you say so. She wasn't really my type" My eyes darted to Naya quickly when she said she wasn't her type
"Then what's your type?" Chris asked her
"I don't know...I guess someone that could make me laugh" I can do that "That's very kind, and considerate, and well just has a loving heart and is dorky and caring"
"Like Demi?" I looked at Lea and back at Naya
"Yeah like her" Naya said smiling at me. I smiled back making her look down. I looked at Chris and Lea and they just gave me a thumbs up.
Progress, slow progress.

The following day Naya came to my house unexpectedly surprising
"I swear your bed is really comfortable" Naya laid on my bed
"Thanks. My best friend picked out that bed for me when she was here
"Where is she?"
"In Dallas" I looked through my closet trying to find a sweater since it was kind of chilly side my house
"Hey! Where'd you get this?" She came from behind and grabbed one of my leather jackets
"It's mine" I looked at the jacket more clearly and noticed that that was the same jacket I let Naya borrow a couple of times
"Can I try it on" I nodded seeing she was already putting it on "I love it...and it smells like you" I heard her say
"You can have it..." After all, you used to use it all the time
"Really?"
"Yes" She grinned and hugged me tightly, jeez how I miss her hugs, how I miss her touch, how I miss her kisses.
"I'm...you're...so...kissable right now" I heard her say, I didn't quite know what was happening until I didn't feel her presence no more "I have to g-go" I shook my head and followed her out
"Where you going?!" She was already leaving
"I just have to go" I stopped her before she could open the door
"Don't leave...please" she sighed and looked at me "I miss you Naya, I miss us. I know you lost your memory but I just wish we can go back to the way it used to be. I just want to kiss you on a daily basis every time I see you, I just want us back, I want you to remember what we had" I didn't notice that I was crying until I felt Naya's soft hands on my cheek wiping away my tears
"I'm sorry Demi" She simply said
"I love you" I smiled at her through the tears and the sadness "and you...love me"
"I...I do..."
