ONE WEEK LATER***
*
Mr Jayden has been showing up for a week now, spending a few of his time with Anastasia. He was only doing what Bella had asked him to, and the fact that he has feelings for her. He promised himself to do wh@tëver it takes to make her remember, if not any one, but him.
It’s Thursday, a free day for Jayden. Anastasia hasn’t been working since she got discharged from the hospital. Bella has refused to do any thing until she fully recovers. And she’s been keeping watch of her every second and minutes to see to it that she takes her drugs.
“Bella, I’m sick of doing nothing here. Besides, this is my shop, I have to do some thing rather than sitting here and doing nothing.” Anastasia complained.
“Ana, I understand, I totally do. But right now, you can’t do anything. The doctor warned against you doing any thing that will stress your brain. Thinking about your customers, who to serve and the rest of them, you don’t need any of that now. You have Tessa and me, we can handle the job.” Bella explained.
“But… I’m fine. I remember a few things now, whicheans my brain is healing gradually.”
“You remember things, but not every thing. There are more to remember and those parts are the most important part of your memories. You can only figure them out if you just calm down and give yourself a long break.”
“I have given myself a long break. It’s been a week since I got discharged, do I still need an extra week for a break?”
“As long as your brain cells are concerned, an extra week is too small for a break. You need a month if I may say.”
“A month?” Tessa snapped.
Their gazes moved to her. “Yes, a month.” Bella repeated.
“Why a month?” Anastasia asked. “You don’t expect me to spend the whole month sitting my @$$ here, staring at nothing.”
“Well, I was actually expecting you to spend the whole of your time, hanging out with Jayden and I. You know, staring at nature it’s very helpful for you.”
Anastasia looked at Tessa, expecting to hear her opinion. “Say some thing, Tessa.”
“Ana, she is right, you need to take a break. But, talking of a month, it’s crazy.”
“Thank you, Tess.”
“Have you two so suddenly forgotten that the doctor confirmed her memory loss is permanent? Even a temporal brain damage takes weeks to recover, to talk of a permanent one.”
“She seems to be recalling a part of her memory.”
“Oh please, what memory has she recalled since she got out of the hospital? Now, let me ask you, Ana, do you remember Tessa?”
“Yes, I do. She’s my assistant.”
“That’s because I told you that. Do you remember how she got here? Huh?” She asked again.
Anastasia was quiet.
“Fine. How did you meet Mr Jayden? How did you two get to know each other?”
Anastasia didn’t say a word to her.
“Tell me, do you remember what happened to you, and how you came to Chicago? Or do you think you’re living here because Chicago is your home or what?!” She asked, her voice a bit louder. “There’s some thing you’ve got to understand, Ana, you don’t remember a Sh|t!
You don’t even remember who he is. You don’t know what happened to your parents, you don’t know any thing yet. Your brain is blurry and totally empty! Do you think seeing you remember only me makes me happy? I feel like I’m talking to the same girl from college.
I feel like there’s nothing new about you. It’s annoying, and it hurts, okay? A lot happens in your life and they all seem new to you, like it never happened before! There are three different people in your life, one out of them is a devil, and the other two, it’s complicated. And you, you don’t remember any of these.
He’s here for you, he wants to see you happy. Every day I hope to walk in here, expecting to hear you say you remember every thing, but no! Every day is just the same with Anastasia Romanoff not recalling a thing! Now, he’s out there, in New York City, troubled, worried about you. He calls every blessed day to check on you.
And do you know how it feels to hear that you still haven’t changed? No improvement, just the same Anastasia of yesterday. You act like every thing is alright but we both know that nothing is alright, yet you refuse to give yourself the time to think.
Think, Ana, think. There are so many things you’re missing, so many things you should know about. Forget this job for the meantime, and focus on the real facts. Focus on your mind and heart, think, ask yourself what it is you are forgetting. Your condition is critical and cannot be reversed, but even at that, some thing can be changed. But that’s depending on how hard you work for it.“
Tears slowly licked out of her eyes, staining her cheeks. Every word Bella had said to her hurts, right deep into her soul. She’s been living with the thought that she remembers some thing, but it turns out that she still hasn’t recalled a thing from the past. She can’t even remember how the incident happened.
