CHRIS

I groan while flicking my eyes open, everything hurts but I managed to sit up.

My eyes darted around taking notice of my surrendering, I was in a hospital room.

The door flipped opened letting a nurse in her mid thirties in, she drop a silver tray, on the table beside me as she smile down at me.

"Good morning, how are you feeling?"

"Blank." I responded sincerely, I can't remember anything.

"Is normal, after you fell in a lake with o° and deprive your body for oxygen for more than fifteen minutes, is a miracle you're still alive." She said.

"Fell? Water? How?" I tried to remember something but I can't my head only pound more.

"You really need to see the doctor," she said before exiting the room and coming back later with a man in his mid fifties with white coat.

"What is your name?" He asked kindly.

"Uh... I don't know." I furrowed my brows.

He jotted something on his clipboard. "Do you remember anything?"

"No, but why can't I remember? Who am I? What happened? Where is my family?" I blurted out as my heart rate pick up.

I'm totally confused and scared, I can't remember anything! Not even my name, and I feel funny! I don't know I'm really freaking out.

"Calm down little boy, we're trying to contact your family since you fell in a coma three days ago."

"Will I ever remember my life? My name my family any thing that can be helpful!" I asked.

"Yes, we believe that is the oxygen deprivation that curse your amnesia, but I'll get a therapist to you." He said before leaving.

Amne...What? I hope is not permanent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two days since I woke up from the comma and found myself in a blank world, I did some therapy and I did remember my name and the incident that happened the night I fell in the water, but I don't know how I got into the hands of those bandits and who my family are, my therapist Mrs Ashley say they will be coming today but still I don't have an Idea on who they are, I do have flashbacks every now and then buy its a little blurry.

"Chris they're here." Mrs Ashley said as she smiled warmly at me, I was expecting them to be blond like me.

Then I saw the one person I trust walk behind Mrs Ashley, then I had a long flashback and everything came back, I stood frozen staring at Fred, I couldn't tear my eyes away, was I happy? Sad? Angry? Indifferent? I don't know, maybe a mixture of all.

He engulfed me in a giant hug almost crushing me, "God, you freaked me out, I thought I'll never see you again." He sigh.

I hugged him back, "you miss me." I whispered.

We stayed that way till dad walked in, I was debating on faking amnesia or just excepting my doom.

I was expecting him to yell and say hurtful stuffs but instead I received a warm hug that I was craving for, yeah is been seven or five years since he hug me so tight.

I couldn't help but hug back. "I can't afford to loose you like I loose her." He whispered.

I was totally speechless, what can I do other than hug him more tighter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally returned home once I was strong enough to take a trip, those idiots took me far away from London.

Now it explains why Fred and dad didn't come earlier.

But I was really happy to be back home, everything seem to have changed, absolutely everything! I didn't see Nathan or jack or Zack, I guess the must be in school.

As soon as I stepped in my room an elated and hyper fluff sprang on me, wiggling his tail. I picked him up and hug him tight.

He really missed me.

"If you need anything am just right in the next door." Fred smiled.

"I won't need anything Fred, stop being a fuzzing mother hen." I chuckled, he raised his hands in surrender.

"Ah, is so good to be back home," I said to fluff once Fred was gone.

"WAF!" It lick my face.

I pick up a book from my shelf, and plop on my bed, as soon as my head hit the pillows I was out like a light.

Not up to an hour I jolted up panting with sweats running down my forehead.

I leap out of the bed and ran straight to the toilet where I threw up.

I splash water on my face and return back to my room, I'm feeling a little dizzy, and my heart won't relent, it's beating faster, I swear I'll do anything to wipe this incident from my memory, I just have a nightmare where I fell in the water and how I struggled desperately to swim out but I couldn't, I couldn't.

I hugged my pillows tighter as I shot my eyes.

"Chris? Are you alright?" Fred walk in uninvited and sat on the bed. I quickly release the pillows and stare awkwardly at him.

"No am fine, just a little tired." I lied.

"If you are tired you don't hug pillows like your life depended on it." He sigh, "please tell me what's wrong." He put his hands on my shoulder making me look at him.

I sigh, "I can't stop having nightmares of when I fell in the deep lake and water entering my lungs, my body too weak to swim, and-" I started panicking all of a sudden.

He pulled me in a hug and kissed the top of my head, "am so sorry for what happened, now you're traumatized."

"Is not your fault Fred, maybe if some people did what they were ask to do, all this won't have happened." I said coldly.

He sigh.

"The only good thing out of this is that am not acrophobic anymore, maybe hydrophobic now." I Mumble the last part.

Later when everyone was finally home we had a complete dinner, for the first time since I met Stephanie I actually spoke to her like she was a member of the family, and I find Nathan and jack too suspicious, I was expecting their tantrum of jealousy but they did none, they were just happy and celebrated my return, am pretty sure they're doing this to stay out of trouble.
Right?

Hey guys! Finally! Christopher Benjamin Jackson is fucking back! Yey!
