Your P.O.V.

I think I said the wrong thing to this unfamiliar girl.
I couldn't recognize her face.
So I asked a simple question of who she was.
But it made her eyes fill with tears and her lip quivered.
My friends and brothers who were so happy to have me back immediately stared at me in worry, or like I grew a second head.
"Wh-What do you mean?" She asked me.
Tears slipped down her cheeks.
She stared at me in an expecting manner.
"I'm sorry... I don't recognize you. Are we...close?"
She stared at me, "This is a joke, right?" She let out choked sobs.
Hesitantly I shook my head.
Was she that close to me?
The girl gave me a painful look, Travis wrapped an arm around her shoulder sympathetically.

"I'm, Pet." She sobbed.
I furrowed my eyebrows.
The name sounded familiar but it still doesn't bring back any memories.
My dog, Charm, jumped up on my hospital bed.

She nuzzled my arm and whimpered.
The girl known as Pet stared at her feet.
Her hands balled into fists, and her body trembled.
"I'll...I'll go..." She hiccuped, leaving the room.
Zane ran after her.
"...I'll get the nurse." Patrick left as well.
It was silent, they kept staring at me.
"You're freaking me out." I huffed.
"....Y/n.."

I looked over to Dante, he looked at me in concern, "What...do you remember?"
"...what do you mean?" I asked.
"When you, moved in with Travis and I... what do you remember about that day?"
"...I remember someone woke me up. And we drove down to the house.
The person said something then left me."

Dante looked over to Travis, exchanging looks.
"Do you know who that person is?" Travis asked me.
I parted my lips to speak but a wave of pain crashed over me.
I screamed and gripped my head.
Charm whimpered and curled closer to me, licking my arm.
I screamed in agony, trying to remember that person.
It was all static, as if this was a TV show or a video game it kept glitching.
My eyes squeezed shut and my grip on my head tightened, my fingernails digging into my skull.
"Y/n!" Dante shouted, trying to break me from this.
No matter how hard I thought, the pain kept coming and this persons face wasn't there.
It was as if they were scribbled out by black marker, their voice not even recognizable because of the static sound and the glitches.
I stopped trying to remember, the pain slowly going away.
I opened my eyes, panting heavily.
Dante's arms were wrapped around me, holding me tightly as if in a blink of an eyes I'd disappear into thin air.
I hugged him back, only wanting to feel his warmth, his touch and his love.
But sadly, we had to break apart when the nurse came in.
He asked for everyone to leave and come back tomorrow when the tests will be done.
Dante's P.O.V.
Y/n insisted she kept Charm by her side, which the nurse agreed to.
So, it was a pretty quiet ride home.
"....what do you think happened?" Travis asked after a while.
"I honestly, have no idea."
Silence again.
"Do you think Pet will be ok?" I asked this time.
"I don't know, put yourself in her shoes er, flipflops. How would you feel if Y/n had no idea who you were?"

I frowned, that would be one of the worst feelings in the world.
Especially after all we've been through...must be worse for Pet.
They were best friends, they knew each other like the back of their hands.
"It would feel awful...we should go over and try to cheer Pet up." I suggested.
Travis nodded in agreement. I parked the car in our driveway before walking over to her house.
I knocked on the wooden door, which opened soon after.
"Oh, hey Dante." Garroth smiled at me.
"Hey Garroth, we came here to see if Pet's alright."
Garroth grimaced, "If you call locked away in her room with tubs of ice cream and loud anime alright, then yes."

Travis and I grimaced as well, "Can we try and talk to her?" Travis asked.
Garroth shrugged, "Sure. We have had no luck so far."
Garroth opened the door more for us, letting us inside.
Travis led me up the stairs and to her bedroom door.
I've learned from experience to never ask Travis how he knows where things are.
He lightly knocked on her door, "Pet, It's Travis and Dante."
After a few seconds the loud anime stopped.
Foot steps came to the door, and it cracked open.
"wh-what do you want?" She sniffled.
"We came to see how you're doing." I said, trying to see through the small opening.
"W-well I'm fine..."
"You don't sound fine." Travis argued.
"I am! I am always FINE! I'm always happy..."
We were a bit taken aback from what she said.
"Pet, I'm coming in." Travis said and started to push the door open.
"N-NO!" Pet squeaked, pushing back.
But, Travis was always stronger.
With a couple good pushes, he got the door to swing open.
There stood Pet.
Her was was red, her eyes were swollen with fresh tears in the corners.
Her hair was all roughed up, she wore a baggy sweater, and I wasn't sure if she had pants on.

Her room had empty tubs of ice cream scattered on her bed, her laptop was open and there was tissues everywhere.
"Oh, Pet..." Travis frowned and hugged her, holding her head to his chest.
"I'll leave you two alone..." I smiled and left for home with out a goodbye.
I sat on my bed, running my fingers along the bed sheets which held the memories of nights Y/n was too scared to fall asleep by herself.
The nights where she would climb into my bed with Charm and cuddle into me.
The nights where I had to whisper everything was ok.
The nights where everything...was normal...
My throat started to feel swollen and my eyes started to sting.
I kicked my shoes off and left my room.
I entered her room.
Her scent was still there... so I got into her bed, pulling the cover over my head.
And almost immediately I fell asleep.

Updates Hopefully Every Thursday
