ZACHARY I just stepped out of my car when my phone rang. Last night my parents forced me to go home. I didn't want to leave Athena's side, but my parents convinced me that Athena wouldn't wake up until tomorrow and that she wouldn't be happy to see my messy self once she woke up.I went home at almost midnight while Tyron stayed. I asked for another bed from the hospital so he could rest properly.I woke up around six in the morning and quickly took a bath, and went back to the hospital. I bought breakfast on the way for Tyron and myself. I'm sure he wouldn't leave the side of her sister until she wakes up.I pressed the answer button when I saw it was Tyron. I locked my car and went inside the waiting elevator. "Tyron?""Sir Zach, my sister is awake, and the Doctor is checking her now.""Okay, I'm here already," I replied and stepped out of the elevator, and walked to her room."Okay, Sir. I'll wait for you. Bye." I put my phone inside my pocket and knock at the door, and Tyron open
ZACHARYTyron came back around twelve carrying a backpack and his laptop."Hey, why did you bring so many clothes? Do you need to go back to school, you know? You have already been absent for two days.""I brought my school things. I'm going to school from here and come back here after my class.""No, you sleep at home. You visit your sister after school, but you cannot stay here. I'll hire a nurse to watch over her. You can visit every day after school.""But..."You'll go home later. I'll pick you up. I need to go now. I have a meeting in thirty minutes." I planted a kiss on Athena's cheek before I left her room.I reached my office ten minutes before the meeting, and Jason was already waiting for me. He is already in the conference room. Alex is with him as well."Okay, let's go." I walked towards the conference room with Jason following me. He opened the door for me and stepped inside first."Good afternoon." I greeted the people inside and went to the head of the table, and looke
AthenaI watch as Tyron and Zachary interact, and they seem very close to each other. Tyron is comfortable talking to him. I already noticed it while I was still in the hospital. It looks like I forgot significant memories that I shouldn't have. Zachary is very caring to me. He said I was his helper here, but the way he treated me was not like a helper at all.The way he treated me is the opposite of how I remember him. He is very soft-spoken towards me. The bossy and cold treatment he showed me before is gone. Zachary is very kind-hearted.He ordered our food, and as soon as it arrived, he prepared a portion of food for me and handed the plate to me. This kind gesture from him warmed my heart.Tyron and Zachary chatted while we were eating, and I just listened. My eyes widened, and my face turned like a red apple. I don't know why I did it, but when I saw sauce on his lips, I grabbed a tissue and wiped it. He smiled at me but didn't comment about it. My heart pounded inside my chest.
ATHENAI wanted to ask more, but I saw Zachary coming to us, and he quickly sat beside me.I noticed that he usually sits beside me and always stays near me whenever he is around me. I felt uncomfortable by his presence this close to me every time, but I didn't voice it out, and I'm thankful I didn't because after knowing that he has an IED, I don't see how he would react if I did.He picked up the remote control and turned on the television, and spread his hands behind the couch, almost touching my shoulder. I looked at him, but he focused his eyes on the television. He was so close that I could feel his leg brushing mine. Why does he need to sit here beside me? It's too crowded with the three of us with Tyron's bag. There are two single-seater couches on our right and left, but he chooses to sit beside me.I looked at Tyron, and I could see he was smiling despite not looking at us. "What are you doing, Tyron?" I asked when I noticed he was putting his things inside his bag, then to
"Umm!!! Zachary, Can I borrow you some money? I couldn't find my wallet, and I couldn't remember where I placed it. I need to buy something.""What do you want to buy? I'll ask Jason or Alex to buy it for you before they come home.""I need to use it now.""You need to use it now? What is it?" I blushed and lowered my head."It's a girl thing," I murmured."What girl thing?" I groaned. I'm embarrassed to tell him, but I have no one to ask for money. So I swallow my embarrassment. "I have my period, and I need a sanitary pad," I whispered, not looking at him."Okay, I'll accompany you after we eat our breakfast.""No need, I can buy it myself. Just lend me some money.""Do you know where the grocery store is? Do you remember your way around here?" I'm sure you forgot. That's why I want to accompany you.""Okay." After eating breakfast, Zachary told me to change because we were going to the mall to buy some groceries, and we were going to eat lunch outside. Still, he followed me inside
"I think we will go ahead. I'm sorry." I told them and held Zachary's hand and pulled him up, and I was thankful when he let me guide him to the counter. He paid for our food and quickly dragged me out of the restaurant. I jogged following him because he was walking so fast, to catch up with him, or Zachary would drag on the floor like a rug because of his long stride. He stopped beside the car, then leaned his forehead on the side of it, taking a long deep breath. He was holding my hand tightly. "Are you alright?" I quickly stepped back when he suddenly looked at me with his murderous eyes. I gasped when he slammed his hand on the car three times, but my eyes widened when he bumped his forehead into it."Zachary !! Despite my fears, I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him a few feet away from the car so that he couldn't hit his head on it."I hate you!!! He said between greeted teeth and wrapped his arms tightly around me, almost breaking my bones. "Sir!!! Two men rushed to us,
" You remember?" He grinned this time and captured my lips again. I groaned and kissed him back with equal fervor. He laughed when we pulled apart. He sat up and cradled me in his lap. "I missed you. I missed you so much." He whispered and pepper kisses on my face. I just smiled and let him be."You remember everything?" He asked."No, I don't remember anything." The smile on his lips suddenly vanished. "I saw the photos in your room, and it tells so much. No wonder I always wanted to see you. I feel my heart pounding whenever you are near, and I badly want to hug you, like right now." I said and wrapped my arms tightly around him. "Why didn't you tell me the truth?""You mean, you still have no recollection of your recent memories?" I shook my head. "You mean you still love me even though you don't remember me?""I guess so." He grinned this time and cupped my face, then caressed it softly. "Kiss me, love. I missed you so much. I can't sleep every night knowing you don't remember me
"I'm home," Tyron called out as soon as he entered the front door but stopped from his track when he saw Zachary and I cuddling each other."Tin, you remember?" He asked and settled beside me. I rolled my eyes because they asked me the same question."No." I give him the same reply."Then, why are you hugging each other?""Ah! She couldn't stop herself from falling for me." Zachary replied, grinning. I rolled my eyes at him but didn't comment about it."I just found out what we have, and he told me," I replied."That's good then." Tyron grinned."How's your field trip?""It was fun and adventurous. It's so much fun.""Tyron, do you have my wallet and phone? I can't remember where those things are. I wanted to buy something earlier, but I don't know where I put it."I have them. Sorry for hiding them from you. I'm just afraid that your head will hurt if you see something that you can't remember, and you'll force yourself to remember it." Zachary replied."Can you return it to me later?"
