I turned my head to the side and looked out the window.
“I think that’s enough information for tonight,” Georgia said as she squeezed my hand.
“We’ll let you get some rest,” Charleigh said.
“Everything is going to be okay,” Georgia spoke as she gently hugged me.
After they left, I let the tears stream down my face. I didn’t know what or how to feel about anything anymore. My heart started racing, and I couldn’t breathe. I gasped for air as I pushed the button for the nurse multiple times. I threw my legs over the side of the bed and lowered my head. My nurse ran in and calmed me down.
“It’s okay, Dr. Roman.” She helped me lie down and pulled the blanket over me. “Do you want me to give you something to help you sleep?”
I nodded.

Conner
“Conner,” I heard Georgia yell from my patio.
Turning my head, I stared at her.
“I need to talk to you,” she shouted.
“I’ll talk to you guys later,” I said as I left and went back to the house.
Georgia hooked her arm around me when I stepped on the patio, and we went inside.
“I spoke with Charlotte before I left the hospital.”
“And?”
“She’s terrified over losing her memory. I tried to fill her in about the family, and I don’t know. I think maybe it was information overload. She was asking about her phone.”
“I have a new one for her. Her other one got damaged in the accident. I’m bringing it to her in the morning.”
“Did all of her information transfer over?” she asked.
“Yeah. It did. All of her contacts, photos, videos, voice messages.”
“Good. I think that will help her understand her life before the accident and perhaps make things a little more comfortable for her. Because, honestly, Conner, it’ll be very difficult for her. I know if I were lying in that hospital bed, unable to remember the last ten years of my life, I’d be terrified.”
The sliding door opened, and Jackson stepped inside.
“There you are.” He walked over to Georgia and kissed her. “Sorry I’m so late. I got pulled into emergency surgery. I got the scans from Charlotte’s CT back.”
“And?” I asked.
“There’s a small lesion on the hippocampus. We couldn’t see it before because her brain had so much swelling.”
“Will it heal itself?” Georgia asked.
“It should in time. New cells will regenerate and take over. I do want to keep an eye on it, though with monthly scans.”
“Be honest with me, bro. Will Charlotte ever get her memories back?”
He stared at me with uncertainty. “Listen, Conner.” He placed his hand on my shoulder. “I can’t answer that. As I told you before, everyone is different. I know you think this is the worst possible thing in the world, but it isn’t.”
“How the fuck can you say that?” I shouted as I pushed his hand away.
