Chris had kept looking trying to retrace Camilla's movement until he had her cry.
It was her, Camilla.
He ran towards her cry but then it stopped. It was someone who was there with her, had the bastard got there before him.
Chris stopped when he noticed a guy carrying Camilla up, it was like she had collapsed.
His body was filled with anger and guilt for not protecting her.
When he shouted to the bastard to let her go, his shadow stopped as he turned around.
Chris was already by his side, landing his fist on the stranger's face. He staggered dropping Camilla, Chris moved to grab her in the air before she hit the ground.
"Hold on love, let me handle him first " he whispered in her ear as he gently placed her down.
Jack had landed on his back and before he could get up, Chris got on top of him. He landed his fists into his face unstop until he had no strength left.
"How dare you touch my woman " he had kept saying as he hit Jack.
"Chris, Chris " Camilla's weak voice cut through the moment.
Chris froze then turned to where he had laid her, she was calling him.
"Am here, Milla " he got up moving to where she was.
She held him crying, "Am scared Chris, am scared "
"Don't be, am here " he said.
He carried Camilla and threw one last glance at the man groaning in pain then left.
The others called the police while Chris drove Camilla to the hospital. She had kept mumbling things Chris didn't understand.
The doctors told them to wait till she woke up to know what was wrong with her. Chris stayed by her side for three days without moving.
Even when her parents arrived they were not allowed inside to see her.
The dreams just kept coming they felt so familiar that she felt they were memories she had lived in. Chris, Ray & her other classmates. The visits they had, their apartment, and the first day he said he loved her. She cried, how could she have lost all of these periods' memories.
"Camilla, "someone called.."Love are you awake?"
She nodded opening her eyes, Chris was there looking down at her with a smile.
"Milla, you are awake " he cried. She smiled, Chris had always been there even when she didn't know who he was anymore.
"Don't cry, love " she said.
He hugged her crying even more. She giggled hugging him back.
" Do men cry this easily?" she murmured.
He sniffed, "Well it depends if it's for the woman I love, then I can keep on crying "
She held him drying his tears. "You have always been with me since the beginning and am grateful "
"Am the one who should be grateful that you loved me back ".
" Even when mom and Dad changed my school you stupidly followed, dragging Ray along with you " she laughed.
He chuckled, "I was desperate worrying that I might not get to see you again "
"And the time we both sneaked out to go for a date and your parents found out " she added.
Chris smiled memorizing the day, "It was the day I first kissed you "
"Yes," she smiled.
"Can I kiss you now?" he asked.
She nodded.
His lips laid on her, gently as he avoided causing more pain since she had cuts on her lips from being hit. She responded kissing his lips fully.
But then he pulled away, "Wait, how did you?...he paused holding her " you remembered " he shouted.
She nodded "Yes I did "
