| hadn't slept in days. Every second Jess was in that hospital bed felt like a fucking eternity. My mind kept

replaying every

ssick word, every look, every argument we'd had, like fucking loop | couldn't break out of.

We missed the game. Coaches were pissed, but Jocelyn managed to pull sstrings for me, and it looked like

his agent could do the same. | was surprised, to say the least, when | called Jocelyn; she was very...

understanding and helpful. Frankly, | was shocked. Tomorrow, | had to fly out, or I'd be on the bench for the rest

of the season. And even though | knew that every logical part of my brain screamed | had to go, | didn't want to

leave. | would watch the world burn if it meant | could stay...

|

But after the incident with my father, | knew | was cut off financially, and | needed to make something of myself,

for Jess... She deserved better, the fucking best.

The emergency surgery, the brain bleed, the doctors talking about taking her off sedation like that was some

kind of miracle cure-it was all bullshit. She'd been out for over a week now, and still, nothing. No signs, no

movement, no Jess. Hated every second of not knowing if she'd wake up or even be the sJess when she did.

Every minute that passed felt like another chunk of my chest being ripped out, and all | could do 22.03

was sit there, pretending like | had any control over this shit.

| needed a shower, but | couldn't force myself to leave. What if she woke up when | wasn't there?

And then | heard it.

"She's waking up!" Jess's mom's voice pierced through the hall, and | shot up so fast the world spun around me.

Everything blurred for a split second, but | didn't care.

The next moment, | was running, my heart pounding in my throat, my feet flying beneath me.

When | reached her room, Josh was already there, standing frozen in the doorway, staring. Jess.

Her eyes were open. Holy shit. She was looking around, blinking, moving-awake. Finally.

My heart should've felt lighter, but it didn't. Something was

wrong.

She looked... off. Her eyes were darting around like she didn't know where she was, and her hands twitched

against the sheets like she wasn't in control of her own damn body.

The nurse was by her side, calm as ever, acting like this was just part of the fucking process. But | could see it.

Jess wasn't calm. -Jess was scared.

"Jessica, relax," the nurse said, her voice soft and soothing. "You're in the hospital. Just breathe, okay? Deep

breaths."

Jess's head jerked toward her parents. They were standing at the bedside, tears already streaming down her

mom's face. Jess didn't even recognize them. Her own fucking parents and she looked at them like they were

strangers. "Don't try to speak yet. You've been through a lot," the nurse. tried again," You've been unconscious

for a week.

"Oh my God, Jess..." Her mom choked out, taking a step closer, her voice trembling.

"Jessica, honey." Her dad's voice broke, and that was the first tI'd ever seen him like that.

"Who-who are you?" Jess's voice was barely a whisper, shaky and hollow, and it felt like a punch straight to the

gut. "Jess... baby, it's us," he said like was supposed to just know them. "It's Mom and Dad. You don't

remember?"" But Jess didn't move. Her eyes were wide, filled with nothing but confusion and fear. She didn't

fucking know them. How the fuck was this happening? This wasn't just confusion. This was something else,

something much worse. "Jessica, you're safe," the nurse said, trying to get her to focus. "You've been through a

lot."

Jess's breathing picked up, chest rising and falling like she couldn't get enough air. Her eyes were darting

between faces, the second. Her dad leaned in closer, growing more frantic by the second. Her dad leaned in

closer, desperation written all over him. "Sweetheart, please. You've had an accident-"

"Don't touch me!" Jess flinched away from him, her voice sharp, panic thick in the air. "I don't know you!"

| clenched my jaw so hard | thought it might break. Seeing her like this, seeing her terrified of the people she

should know. better than anyone, it madefeel like | was losing her.

My hands curled into fists, nails biting into my palms, but I couldn't fucking do anything.

| wanted to scream. | wanted to punch something, break something-anything to stop this. But I couldn't. I just

stood there, frozen, useless.

"Jessica," the nurse said again, her voice still calm, but more urgent this time. "Do you know your name?"

Jess's eyes filled with tears, and she shook her head, her lip trembling. That's when | fucking broke. That look-her

looking at us like we were strangers, like she didn't even know her own name- was too much. | felt my throat

tighten, and for the first tin a long time, | didn't know if | could hold it together.

She didn't know who the fuck she was.
