JASON'S POV

I had lost my breathe, literally. When I heard that Cathedral has been in an accident. I left The meeting immediately and went to the hospital.

As I entered, my mind sprung some past memories of me in hospital, not so long ago. The smell of the chemicals and medicines had engulfed me and hunches already started to evolve in my mind. 

I could not afford to lose Cathedral all over again. She had become the reason of my smile.

I still remember the day we met. She sat along the stairs instead of being at the dance, I had been invited there as a guest of honor. The mask sat on her face, hiding most on her beautiful features. 

Only I could see was her eyes, the ocean in them decorated by loneliness. The color of her eyes matched the color of her dress. The silk-like hair, cascading down and beautifying her small figure. Something in her eyes, quenched me of the desire to know her, To know the oceans in them. I was a man of my needs then, till she came along and made me all hers. 

She was no model, No actress, but she was alluring. As I got to know her, there was so much more than a shy beauty, she was an angel, her soul so pure. 

As we got along the lines, I knew I was touched down by an angel. Her compassion sparkled the brightest in her, how she would help the professors or her juniors. Politeness was at top of her manners. 

The day when she made me dinner at my house at the dead of the night, despite of my 'no's' and her test the next morning, I fell in love with her. I fell too hard.

The sound of loud sobbing broke the chain of thoughts. I turned my head to see Mrs Weston bawling her eyes out along with Mr Weston supporting her.

" Will she be okay, Jason?" Mrs Weston asked.

" You know what happened last time, we can't lose her."

I felt numb, I could not speak so I sat down processing what happened.

" Mr Weston?"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, my head shot up to see the doctor.

" Is she oka-" 

" She is out of danger, the injuries were not major but it will take some time for her to wake up."

I felt a sea of relief poured over me as the doctor told me she was out of danger.

" Mr Weston, do you know what was she doing twenty miles out of the town?"

" She told us she was going to the office to collect some files." He replied.

I looked through the circular glass of the door, she had so many tubes connected to her body and the bandages made her look lifeless than she already was. Tears were welling up in my eyes but I had to stay strong for her and her family.

Wake up Wes, wake up for me 

-----------------------------------------

I held on to Cathedral's hand as I had been doing for past two days and caressing it with my thumb.

How much I wanted to see that smile again, those full of life ocean eyes. 

I could trade my everything just to see her smile.

" Why did you not tell us son?"

My mother spoke bringing me back to Earth.

"Huh? Oh.. I wanted to introduce her to you when she came back after graduation, but.." I could not speak further, it was all too painful to see her fighting for her life.

" But she got into that incident and she had a memory loss." My dad continued.

I simply nodded and turned to her.

" I will kill that bastard,I swear to you." I spoke in a very low tone.

The door screeched open as  a nurse came along with a doctor.

" We need to check on her, please leave." The doctor said nonchalantly.

" Sir, you need to rest , you have been here since two days." The nurse said to me.

" Yes darling you need to rest, you haven't slept in nights." Mom added.

We came out of the room as my parents insisted that I should go home and take some rest, they would call me if she woke up.

After fighting and denying, I was kicked out of the hospital by my dad himself.

I went home restless. I did not want to leave her for a single second. I had sent the Westons home, they were getting old and needed proper rest.

As soon as I entered my room, my body yearned for rest and a warm shower.

-----------------------------------

CATHEDRAL'S POV

I was awake and I remember everything.

The doctor rushed into my room followed by the nurse.

I held my head, feeling too many emotions at that time.

Should I be afraid that Alex nearly killed me? Twice?

Or should I be happy for finally knowing what haunted me every night? 

Should I feel guilty for forgetting everything between me and Jason?

The patience of him, had heightened my love and respect for him.

" How are you feeling, Cathedral?"

" I have too many memories coming back and my head hurts."

The doctor looked at me astounded.

" How long was I out for?" I Asked, remembering that I had a cabin to finalise before Jason's birthday. But what if I was out for a whole month or worse, a year?  

" About fifty hours, tell me what do you remember?"

" I remember getting hit by a car and seeing someone who in my knowledge is dead, or not?" I could somewhat connect the dots but I needed to talk to Jason, the first thing."

" I'll call your parents." The nurse said

" NO, don't, don't tell anyone." I shouted.

The nurse had a confused look.

" I need some time to jus-just adjust to everything and doctor can I talk to you, Alone?" On the cue the nurse left.

" Doctor John, if I am not wrong?" I read his badge.

" Yes."

" Doctor , Do you have my previous medical records?"

" Yes, we do"

" Can I see them, please sir?"

" What do you need to know?" I think he understood why I needed to see them.

" Doctor, I have all these memories coming back from months ago and before i-it was just lik-like I lost them somewhere-"

" You had a memory loss two months ago, dear, you were hit too hard on your head. And it's no less than a miracle that you remember, but don't stress yourself child you are still healing." The middle aged doctor said and left the room.

I looked around the room to see a beautiful bouquet of white roses sitting by the window. I still needed to work on the cabin. I searched for my cell phone or purse but it was nowhere to be found.

I pressed the bell and a ward boy rushed in.

" Can I have your phone, please?"

" Do you want me to call yo-"

" I want you to give me your cell."

" Ma'am we are not supp-"

" Please it's quite important." I gave him my puppy eyes, which worked well on almost everyone.

He sighed deeply and   handed me his phone. I had to call Bill and ask him to help me but I did not have his phone number. Then I decided to call Matt and make some use of his very unuseful contacts.

" Hello, Weston INC, you have reached to Eric Weston, How may I help you?"

This was so extra!

" Matt"

" Madam, how are you? Do yo-"

" I need you to shut up and listen to me without telling dad anything about me calling you." The ward boy looked at me like I stole his food.

" Ma'am but I nee-"

" You need to do what I tell you, do you understand?"

" Yes I do, Ma'am"

" I need you to contact Bill Wendson, the construction contractor for me and ask him, if he could get someone else to finish the work."

" Will do it ma'am, how are you?"

" I am perfect, thank you. Now, if you like your job, do not dare to utter a single word to my parents."

"Ma'am I won't"

I cut the call before handing the ward boy his phone and thanking him. I looked out of the window, it was late night, I could tell. The lights twinkling together making a sight for me. The silence and the guilt for not informing anyone was eating me alive. How would I fac-

The door opened and the person standing there left me in daze.

"Jason"  I was shocked to see him. Tears involuntarily welled in my eyes as I saw the man, the strongest man in my life , who was hurt yet smiled,   who had waited for me.

" Cathedral, how do you feel?"

" I fe-feel.." I could not finish my sentence as I broke down instantly on hearing his broken voice. I could tell, he hasn't slept in days as he looked tired. There was dark bags under his eyes, the forest eyes had lost the calm in them but he still stood as the most perfect man ever, who was always there for me. This made me cry even harder in his arms. I had been the worst girlfriend ever. Some part of me was happy that I had found out that my emptiness was actually what made me feel full. The man I was so in love with!

" Stop crying, Wes."

 I instantly stopped crying.

" call me that again, please"

" Wes." He said as he looked in my eyes, I could see the calm of them return.

" How do you feel?"

" Better than I deserve." That came out as a reflex.

" What di-"

" I remember everything."

" What?" His jaw dropped and he looked at me as if he had heard wrong.

" I remember ho-how we met, you asked me if I was seeing someone, we went to your lake house for our first date an-and we were eating pizz-"

" You remember?" The tears in his eyes glistened.

" You waited? Why did you wait for someone who didn't remember you?"

" Open your ears and listen to me I waited and I would have waited all my life if that's how long it took for you to remember me." He said in a low-dangerous tone.

"Why? I didn't even remember you at the hospital then."

" Wes, stop stressing yourself, you were hit so badly by that bastard-"

"Jason." I was alarmed by the mention of him and Jason needed to know.

" What happened Wes, are you in pain?"

" I saw him, Alex , He was the one who was driving the other car and when it came in front of me I-I had to make a shar-" By now I was sobbing uncontrollably

"Shhh, you need to rest, I'll see to it." He said as he hugged me carefully without hurting me.

I fell asleep in his embrace. 

---------------------------------

A ray of sunlight hit me and woke me up, as I stirred and turned to find my parents, Elena, Aaron and Jason looking at me, waiting for me to wake up.

" Good morning," I said and smiled to my fullest.

" Good morning ! You get into a damn accident- and what the hell!- GOOD MORNING?" My mother shouted making my ears bleed.

" Calm down Shelina, she just woke up!" My dad added.

" How do you feel darling?" Aaron asked.

" I feel better, I have almost healed."

" Says the one, who has a big bad bandage wrapped around their head." 

" Jason I feel good, how are you all?"

" Seriously, please call the doctor has she forgotten that it was her in that accident not us?" My mom was clearly annoyed.

" Mom I remember everything."

" Wh-what are you talking about?"

" You know exactly what I am talking about, before I graduated."

" Oh honey!" She said as she hugged me tightly.

" Mom you are killing m-"

" I am so sorry darling, We couldn't tell you, the doctor told us strictly against it."

" It's fine mom, Thank you for being here everyone especially Jason, thank you." I said as I looked at him deeply.

" Always, Wes." 

" ahem-ahem, We will get you two and us all breakfast." My dad said as and the others left the room.

" I am so glad that you are okay."

" I admire you too much. Gosh, what did I do to Deserve you?"

" I should be the one asking that, shouldn't I?" He smiled pleasantly at me.

It was a perfect moment but I had to ask .

" Jason, can I ask you something? Promise me you wouldn't be mad?"

" Anything, why would I ever be mad at you?"

" What happened to Alex, when I was in hospital?"  

" He was put in jail, after a little rendezvous with me, of course." 

" Did you beat him?"

" The police had to get me off him?"

" But he escaped, Didn't he?"

" Yes but you are safe,Do you trust me?"

" More than I trust myself." The tension between us grew thick as he came closer and our lips almost touched when the door opened and we had to part.

" So sorry, did we disturb you two?" Aaron asked sarcastically.

" No, we-we were just talking."

" Sure honey you were." Elena spoke.

" When can I came home dad?" I asked my dad.

"  They will discharge you tomorrow morning sweety." My dad loved giving me nicknames!

-------------------------------------

" Jason. For the last time, GO HOME!" We were in the middle of an argument.

" NO" He fought back.

" But, you need to rest!" I yelled.

" More than anything I want, is to be with you!" He exclaimed as my cheeks turned scarlet red.

" Now, the next second and forever. So will you be my girlfriend, again?" He said as he turned his face closer to me. Unable to resist those lips and eyes, I captured his lips. Just felt like the old times, all the passion and fire igniting my body. 

" No" I said sternly.

" Why not?" He asked hurt evident in his eyes as he caressed my face. 

" I am already your girlfriend." I said huskily.

" And you mister, owe me a date." My voice was raspy as I whispered into his ears, making him smile.
