I'm Lily, I Guess.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah".

Came the word from Ava's mouth as she plunged deep and deep into a hollow dark hole filled with nothing. The hole seems to have no end as she falls deeper and deeper. The force of which she was falling couldn't let her gather her thought. She tightly shut her eyes. Gathering all the courage, she eventually opened her eyes as she was about to hit the bottom...

*soft gasp*

She slightly regained her consciousness and heard dim voices around her. Gently and slowly opening her eyes to properly gain her sight, the first thing her eyes met was the ceiling.

There was this cool air in here that felt soft on her skin which she loved, and the smell, so delightful. It smelled of lavender and she took pleasure and delight in it. Turning to her left, she sighted two ladies sitting on a sofa, talking amongst one another, dressed in a light blue top and trousers, something that would be worn in a hospital.

'Wait, am i in a hospital'? she asked in her thought.

She turned to her right and noticed the drip hanged up, slowly passing through the injection plastered to her forearm into her veins.

She noticed a humidifier and a scented candle laid at the corner of the room.

'Oh, that must have been where the soft air and sweet smell was coming from'.

She tried to sit up, and then at that moment the ladies noticed she had woken up. They were both nurses.

"Oh my, Miss Lily, You're finally awake" one of the nurses said.

She tried sitting up again, and this time they both held each of her arms to assist her up.

'Lily? Who's that'? she thought again.

"For a minute, we thought something worse was gonna happen to you" the other nurse said.

"Happen to me? Why would something worse happen to me? What even happened me"? she said looking down at the patient outfit she was wearing.

They both glanced at each other with confusion written on their faces.

"Who are you guys? What am I doing here. Who am I"?.

"Uhmmm, one question at a time ma'am".

"Honestly, I think we better go inform your husband....sorry..... husband to be"...

'Husband to be'?.

The door swiftly swung opened making Lily turn to that direction.

Upon seeing him, she immediately felt a strong sense of dëjá vù. She really couldn't place a finger on what it meant, but she knew she had seen him somewhere.

She was awestruck at the beauty and elegance of the man that was walking in. Describing him as a handsome man was an understatement, he was beautifully handsome. Lily studied him and noticed every features of his. He has thick dark eyebrows, with a siren eyes. His jaws were chiselled, decorated with a beautifully made nose. He had this boyish look, that she was drawn to. His hair was black in colour, cut in a wolf cut style and full. He was dressed in a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket, matched with a faded jeans and a Nike sneakers.

Even though he was dressed in a casual way, he had this elegant, domineering and powerful vibe Lily couldn't ignore.

He stopped and stood in front. Stared at her for some seconds before stooping low to look directly at her face like he was searching for something and stood straight back...

He took his phone and made a call.

"Yes, she's awake now" he said into the phone....

Facing the nurses he asked.

"Is she okay"?.

"Well, it doesn't seem like it. She doesn't seem to recall what had happened".

"Don't you recall what brought you to this situation"? he asked her.

"Sorry, but I don't.....

"It's doesn't seem like she's okay... Inform her family too... Ok then, see you".

A long silence dragged on before she asked....

"Who are you again"?.

"I'm your husband... well, husband to be, and we are to get married in few months". he said coldly.

"WHAT"?????.

"Yeah, that was the exact reaction you had when told we were getting married at the family dinner".

"Huh..... What family dinner"?.

"Wow, you really don't remember at all.... Do you at least know who you are"?.

"Who am I"?.

He signaled to the nurses to leave the room.

"Well I'll tell you who you are. Your name's Lily..."

"I kind of figured that out, since that was what I was being addressed has, by the nurses".

"Can you let me finish my statement"?.....

"Oh sorry, go ahead".

"Your name's Lily Brandon, the only daughter of Noah Brandon owner of Brandon & Co Company".

"Oh wow... Then how did I get here? What happened"?. she said, staring up at him.

He gazed back at her, and then looked away. He then took a stride to the window. Putting his hands into his pockets, looking outside and backing Lily, he continued....

"Two days ago, we were having a family dinner at a restaurant, my family and your family together. My mom, dad, sister and I were present, together with you, your mom, dad and your brothers"...

"I have siblings too"?...

He turned and faced her.....

"Yes you do..... Wow, it's like your memory was formatted..... You really don't have a tiny glimpse on how your life was".

"Is that gonna be an issue"?.

"And what do you think? Is it gonna be an issue"?.

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you".

"I can't give you a concrete answer now. We'll know when everyone arrives and as time passes".

"Should I continue with what I was saying or you're better off not hearing it"?.

"I wanna know".

"On that fateful day, I thought we were just having a friendly dinner as usual and I'm sure you thought so too, because our families friendship goes way back..... But then, your dad announced that we would be getting married, which my dad supported, and that the marriage would benefit both us and the family. Of course it didn't sit right to me and neither did it sit right with you, so you flared up, stood up angrily and accidentally walked into a coming vehicle, which landed you into this situation".

"I know that's a lot for you to digest, but they'll still be more for you to digest, so you better take this in first... Your family and mine will be here at any minute now".

As she was about to utter a word, the door swung opened again, and this time, a group of people entered, which Lily had no clue who they were.

The group of people consisted of two elderly men and women, a beautiful young lady and two good-looking young guys. The two elderly men were both Lily's and James' father. The two elderly women were their mothers. The young lady was James' sister, and two young guys were Lily's older brother.

"Oh Lily, my daughter, I'm glad you're finally awake. Do you know how worried we were? Especially me." A woman in her 50's said taking her hand into her own hands.

"That's your mom" he whispered to her.

"Mom"? she asked with confusion written in her eyes.

"Are you okay Lily"? This time a man in his 50's asked.

"No she's not, Mr Noah" he replied for her.

"Oh, James, I didn't see you standing. When did you get here"?.

James... So that's his name... She realized she hadn't even asked for his own name....That was her first time hearing his name...

"I came to pay her a visit, and few minutes later, the nurses came to alert me that she had woken up".

"That's so nice of you James. Thank you for looking out for our dear Lily". her mother said, squeezing his hand gently.

"It's my pleasure Mrs Brandon. I'll always keep on looking out for her, anything to please you ma'am" he said revealing his dashing smile.

His statement made her chuckle....

"So what did the doctors conclude? Did they examine her already"?.

"Well, they haven't examined her yet, but she doesn't seem to recall the past event. She doesn't remember anything".

"Lily, do you know who I am"?.....

"I know you're my dad, and she's my mom, according to what he told me" she said pointing at James.... "But I don't know who any of these people are or how I've lived my life"...

"So you remember nothing at all, like nothing at all"? James' sister asked her this time.

She shook her up and down to affirm her answer was yes.

"Oh no, this is serious, you need to be examined this minute". her dad said.

"Finn, go get the doctors".

"Ok dad".

"Oh God, why let this happen to my daughter" her mom said almost in tears.

James' mother went to her side and patted her back telling her that everything was gonna be ok.....

"I hope so, because I can't bear with the thought of my daughter living with a lost memory" she was already in tears this time.

"Don't worry Lily, everything's gonna be fine"...
