It was like everything was in slow motion. The car spiraling out of control and in the path to hit Autumn. My body was moving in slow motion, even her parents. The car wouldn't stop. I couldn't do anything but look at the acceptance in Autumn's eyes. She was accepting her faith. The faith of her dying. Every emotion from six years ago came running back to me when the car made contact with her and sent her flying.

The SUV came to a stop once it hit her. I ran to her like I did six years ago. Her head was bleeding a lot and so was her chest.

"Call an ambulance you bloody idiot! Now!" I screamed through tears that were falling down my cheeks. Her dad dials on his phone then start speaking rapidly. I put Autumn's limp head on my lap and cried into it. She couldn't leave me, she was a fighter. She can't leave me. I would be torn. Please, Autumn, don't like leave me. The SUV then turns on and jets off, a hit and run. I didn't have the chance to look at the driver so I have no idea who it was. Nor do I care right now, my focus is on Autumn.

"Autumn, wake up. Please." Someone puts their hands on my shoulders and pull me back. I didn't even notice the sirens and the paramedics that arrived.

"Sir, you need to move back so we can get her into the ambulance. We don't have much time." He tries to pull me back again but I won't leave her. Never will I leave her.

"No! Don't tell me what to do." I swat his hand away. No one tells me what to do, especially when one of my loved ones are in trouble. Tears continue to fall down my cheeks and soon enough they pry me off of her. I stumbled up and watch the paramedics rush to her side. They pull a stretcher to her side and put a board underneath her. She's so lifeless she could pass as dead. There's blood everywhere I can't take it anymore. Autumn's mum comes rushing over to me and embraces me into a hug. Soon follows her dad. We're all crying watching them try to get Autumn up.

"Get her up on three. One, two, three, lift!" They get her up on the stretcher and put an oxygen mask over her mouth. We follow them as they put her into the ambulance and check her pulse.

"No pulse! We need to bring her back!" Whimpers leave our mouths and we begin crying. I don't care if I'm a man or not, someone I love has no pulse and is dying! Be strong, for her Damon. Stay strong. I roughly while the tears away and run to the ambulance where they're trying to bring Autumn back. One of the paramedics is pumping air into her from an oxygen mask and the other is doing CPR.

"No pulse still!! We're going to lose her!" That's when I went numb. I couldn't feel anything, the pain from losing Autumn six years ago, the pain of losing her again. It all went away. She's going to die because I forced her into meeting with them. I did this to her.

"I have a pulse! Let's go! We need to rush her to the hospital now! Sir, if you're coming then hurry up." I nod my head and jump in and take my place right beside Autumn.

The ambulance jets off but all of it goes slow, looking at Autumn. How...broken she looks.

Because of me.

Shut that horrid beeping up. It's driving me insane. The beeping continues making me moan in irritation. Good God someone turns that off! I move my fingers but a sharp pain shoots up my arm. My eyes wrestle to open, and slowly but surely they do. A blinding white light greets me when I open them.

I look over to my side to see Damon's head against the bed and his hand around mine. I have a cast on that arm and I think on my left leg. I can tell that there are bandages around my chest because it's straining me from breathing. Also another bandage on my head. I don't remember how I got here or what happened.

"Damon." My voice is horse from the time I've supposedly been asleep. Instantly his head jerks up and stares at me wide eyed.

"You're awake....." His eyes start to water as he buries his head into my chest. God, it hurt but I can't tell him when I see how much he's hurting.

"A-are you okay?" He whispers after he picks his head back.

"Water please." He nods and grabs the cup beside my bed and puts it to my mouth. Now I would have done it myself but I was kinda incapable of doing so. The cool liquid runs down my throat soothing the roughness of it.

"Do you remember what happened?" He sets the glass down and folds his hands over my stomach.

"No." Is all I reply as I look forward. Should I tell him? He would be so happy. But right now? Maybe later.

Not now, I can't tell him when I don't have all the details. They're still coming back to me.

"Autumn. Just....look at me." I move my head to look in his eyes.

"You were hit by a car. A hit and run in fact. The police are already on it but so far no luck. They've been searching forever and have found nothing."

Forever? Now I know I haven't just been out for a few days.

"Damon. How long have I been put for." A long pause before he answers. It takes him about three minutes before he speaks up.

"A-almost four months. We thought you weren't going to make it." I can hear the hurt in his voice. We?

As on cue, my parents walk in. The once who were in the crash with me six years ago. The ones I thought were dead. You need to tell them. Give them the reassurance. They need it, they're hurting.

Damon's holding back tears and so are they. Do it. Now!

"Okay!" I yell. It stuns them, I want to talk to them. But I need to tell them.

"Now that everyone is here, you have to promise me that you will not suffocate me with your questions. Here goes nothing" I pause before I go on looking over at Damon. He's looking at me with curiosity in his eyes. I grip his hand in mine even though it hurts but I need this reassurance.

"I've......regained my memories. Before you say anything, something's is still a little blurry but for the most part of can remember. I......think that the crash restored my memories." Damon crumbles on top of me crying tears of joy as do my parents.

I remember my tenth birthday party at the roller skating rink and how I broke my arm that day. And how Damon said he'd take me out to ice cream after I got surgery.

Damon. I remember our dates, the fun times we had. How I loved him.

How I love him now.

That's what I saw before falling back asleep. My parents smiling at me even though their faces are tear stained.

Damon starring at me with red eyes.

"Damon," I say sleepily. He nods and grabs my hand and kisses it.

"I love you."
