The handsome guy that was once stroking my hand, stopped. The room got quiet and it seemed like everyone froze. I painfully try turning my neck to look at the unfamiliar faces in my hospital room. They all looked at me, in shock and sadness.
I couldn't take the silence. I asked in my faint voice again, "Who are you g-guys? Where's Kevin and Taylor?"
Before anyone could do anything, the doctor came in and asked to speak with my parents. My mom and my dad stepped outside with the doctor. Why was my parents here? Last time I check, my father left and my mom kicked me out.
The handsome guy got up and stormed out of the room. Why was he mad? None of us did anything wrong. The girl with the pink hair sat on his seat with an adorable baby boy in her arms.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" I was on the verge of crying.
"I'm Bahja." She said and paused, looking away from me. She tried collecting herself before looking back at me. "I'm your bestfriend. This," She pointed at the baby. "This is your son, Jayden. Also Kevin's. That was Chresanto holding your hand, he's your boyfriend---"
"My b-boyfriend?" I was confused. "No, no. Kevin's my boyfriend and we live together with his parents and Taylor." I don't believe her. "Where's Taylor? I need to see her."
"Um," She shifted uncomfortably on the chair. "Uh, Taylor---"
Before she could finish her sentence, the doctor came back in, followed by my parents.
"You have a memory loss due to your coma," He stated, looking down at his clip board. "We recommend you to go see a therapist to help you gain your memory back. We also recommend a lot of bed rest until your body heals and less talking because your throat is extremely sore, to heal that, we require you to drink a lot of water." I nodded in understanding. "You'll be released tomorrow."
I nodded again and thanked him before he walked out. My parents approached me and I immediately went cold.
"Honey, we're so sorry that this happened," My mom started. "I hope---"
"I don't wanna hear it." I closed my eyes, due to the sudden headache I just gotten. They just nodded and my mom caressed my arm before they leave. I sighed.
"You guys were on good terms," The pink haired girl, who I just forgot her name, spoke. "They apologized and basically y'all left the past to be the past."
"Hard to believe." I muttered, opening my eyes, being blinded by the bright light of the room again. "Can you call him? The boy that sat next to me, I wanna ask him why he left."
"He's your boyfriend." She reminded me. She paused and stared at me sadly. "You don't remember my name, do you?" I shook my head and looked away from her. This is frustrating. "It's Bahja."
I nodded and furrowed my eyebrows. "What happened to me?"
"You got hit severely by a truck, and you went into a coma." She said and stood up, holding the baby in her arms. "I'll step outside and call Chresanto."
"Who's that?"
She sighed. "Your boyfriend."
I nodded and closed my eyes again when she stepped outside. Few minutes later, the door opened, making me open my eyes as the guy came back in and sat on his previous seat.
"I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you walk out," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. He just stared at me and didn't say anything. "Bahja told me you were my boyfriend and---"
"Not were. I am your boyfriend. And for you to ask for Kevin really pissed me off. You remember him and not me."
My throat went dry as I look away from him. "It's not my fault."
I heard him sigh. "I know."
"We can still try it out—try us out—and see how it goes." I suggested.
"Try it out?" He chuckled. "And what makes you think it's gonna work?"
"We don't have to, if you don't want to. Seems like we been together for a long time and I wouldn't want to ruin that and hopefully I get my memory back so I could go back to normal." I shrugged slightly.
"I want to." He put my hand in his. "I can't lose you again."
"Again?" I raised a brow.
"You and Kevin were both drunk and, uh, you cheated on me with him—that explains why he's the father of your son."
"Oh," I looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry, I'm sure I never meant to cheat on you on purpose."
"It's alright, baby." He chuckled. "But, it wasn't completely your fault, I was causing problems too. You probably got tired of me."
"I'm sure that's not true." I did a small smile as it got silent, in which I broke few seconds later. "How did we meet?"
"You were my housekeeper."
I scrunched up my face, "I was a housekeeper?"
"After Kevin kicked you out, one day, you were sitting on the concrete in front of our driveway with Taylor sleeping on you. Then, my dad saw you and offered you the job basically."
"Speaking of Taylor," I started. "Where is she? I've been asking for her, I don't think you guys answered me."
He suddenly looked uneasy and his face expression changed. That worried me. "She got killed."
My heart sank and my headache came back. I felt my eyes get watered. "Sh-She got k-killed?"
He nodded. "Her father kidnapped you and her and a lot went down, in which I don't know since I wasn't there."
"Why would he kidnap us?" I cried.
"Hey," He caressed my hand softly. "How about you relax a bit and get some rest. This is too much for you all at once." He wiped my tears.
"I think I've had enough sleep." I shook my head.
He chuckled softly. "It's good for you right now." He stroked my cheek. "Just close your eyes."
I did as he said and he started singing to me. He sounded so beautiful. I opened my eyes and stared at him. I felt butterflies danced in my stomach as he smiles at me and continued singing.
I leaned forward a bit and brought my lips to his soft ones. He grabbed my cheek gently and carefully, kissing me back. He bit on bottom lip, pulling away. I smiled and closed my eyes again, hoping to fall asleep. Once I felt him let go of my hand, I quickly opened my eyes again.
"I'll be here all night, don't worry."

We sat in a booth after ordering our food. We were currently getting lunch. I was released from the hospital earlier and I wanted to fill in my stomach with junk food. I'm still having problems remember people's name and small things and such. But, I'm getting a little better than yesterday. I remember conversations I had with Chresanto and my doctor earlier.
"You start your therapy session tomorrow." Chresanto informed me. I nodded and looked at the baby on his lap, trying to remember his name and who he was. "This is Jay—"
"Don't tell me." I cut him off.
The more I try to remember his name and who he was, the more of a headache I gain. I sighed in frustration and a tear escaped out of my eye. I quickly wiped it.
Chresanto got up with the baby and sat next to me. He placed the baby on my lap and he instantly smiled at me, touching my cheek.
"Mama!" He said in excitement.
My heart fluttered. "He's my son."
Chresanto smiled and nodded. "His name is Jayden. and he's one years-old. His father is Kevin."
I pecked his lips. "Thanks."
"Zonnique?" I heard a manly voice.
I turned around and to see Kevin approaching our table. I gave Chresanto Jayden, who put him inside his stroller, and got up. I went to Kevin and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back with a confused look on his face. I laughed a little and kissed his cheek.
"I missed you." I said.
He raised his eyebrows. "You missed me?"
I smiled and nodded. My smile quickly faded once I saw he had a scar on neck. "What happened?"
"What you mean, what happened?" He chuckled a little. "I shot myself, remember?"
After Chresanto finish setting the plates on the table, he approached us and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"You shot yourself?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "You tried committing suicide? Why would you do that?"
"Why are you acting like you don't remember shit that happened?" Kevin question.
Chresanto said, "She's not acting."

After explaining the whole situation to Kevin, he smirked. "So, she doesn't remember you? And she remembers me from when we dated?"
"Don't even think about it." I stated firmly through my teeth.
"Alright," Zonnique stood between of Kevin and I. "I'm hungry, can we start eating?"
I nodded and Kevin's smirk is still plastered on his face. "Mind if join y'all? I'm sure I'm not interrupting anything. Plus, I need to spend time with my son."
"No." I growl. "Now, move along."
But, Zonnique smiled widely and said, "Sure!"
