I slowly opened my eyes, feeling disoriented and weak. The world around me was a blur, and my breaths came out heavy and labored. The room felt unfamiliar, and I struggled to process my surroundings.

A dull ache throbbed in my head, adding to my confusion. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy and uncoordinated, as if it had forgotten how to function. Panic rose within me as I realized I couldn't remember how I ended up here, What am i doing here?

Suddenly a voice filled with excitement echoed through my ears."Lisa!.. Your awake! Oh my.." The voice was unrecognizable to me, I blinked hard several times to finally be able to see clearly and i gasped as i found myself in a hospital room, laying on a bed. It was nighttime, and the room was softly lit by night lamps.

I opened mouth, trying to say a thing but no words could escape my lip, my throat was parched and scratchy and the dryness seemed to intensify with every breath.

Panic came rushing through my body as i heard someone talk again."It's all alright darling, It's all good don't stress out." He said and I instantly looked at my side, where I found a man who was setting beside me with my arm in his hand.

He gently squeezed my arm and moved closer to me, waving his hand in front of my face. "Lisa, can you hear me?" he asked.

I looked at him with a strange expression, attempting to open my mouth and speak, but I couldn't. My throat refused to cooperate, and I couldn't find my voice.

He swiftly got up and hurried to the door. "Wait here, Lisa. I'll call the doctors," he said before disappearing from the room and I couldn't help but to wonder, "Who was that guy?"

••Tom's P.O.V••

I stood with my arms folded across my chest, feeling anxious as I waited behind the door while the doctors were checking on her. Finally, after eight weeks, she had woken up, though... it felt like much longer to me.

"Tom," I turned my gaze to Bill, who had just arrived, and walking beside him was Ria, crying tears of joy. "She woke up?" Bill asked and I nodded, turning my gaze back at the little window on the door, sneaking a glance at her.

"What did the doctors say?" Ria asked nervously, keeping her voice down, clearly afraid of me. "I don't know, they're still checking on her," I replied before the door swung open, and the two doctors stepped out.

"Well?" I asked, dropping my arms down.

The doctor sighed before glancing at his notes. "Everything looks fine. Her hearing and vision are okay, but she might need a few more days to recover fully and She'll need to take some medicines for a few months," he explained, handing me a piece of paper with her prescribed medications.

Relived of what i heard, I passed the paper to Bill. "Go get them," I said, and he nodded before making his way towards the elevator.

"I don't recommend visiting her right now, she might need a while..."

"That's not necessarily." I cut him off before putting my hand on the door handle, ready to open the door, To see her again but this time she's awake, she can see me, she can hear me and that's all i needed in the past two months.

"Wait, there's one more thing," the doctor interjected. "There was a problem with her memories. She doesn't remember the past few months at all. When we told her she's in Tokyo, she was shocked and insisted that she was living in America with her best friend, planning to move to Tokyo in a month."

My heart dropped for a moment, and a chill ran through my veins, causing my hand to freeze on the door handle. This can't be true... and If what he says was true, then she doesn't remember anything, she doesn't even remember me.

suddenly a mix of relief and fear washed over me simultaneously. Relief that she won't be able remember what had happened that night, but fear that she won't remember me at all.

"Permanent?" I said, my head down with my hand still on the handle.

"It could be permanent, but there's also a possibility that her memories could come back. It's not something we...we..can control" The doctor said as i turned to him. I could see him scared of what he said, He knew he other doctor died in my hands when he insisted that it's out of their control.

"it depends on her and how she manages to trigger those memories to return." The doctor quickly continued.

frustrated I slammed my fist hard into the wall, Ria gasped and the doctor instantly turned back and moved away. I pulled my hand out and I slammed it harder into the wall,"Fuck." I mumbled, my head down but after a while, an smirk sightly appeared on my face.

I turned to Ria and firmly grabbed her by her shoulders."You do as I said got it?" I directly said and she panicked beneath my hands."You'll say that she just got into a car crash, you'll pretend that I am her... Boyfriend or whatever and you'll make her come home after hospital, That's the easiest way for her and if you fail, I will kidnap her once again and kill her little best friend this time."I said, now slowly crossing her scared face.

She quickly nodded as her eyes were surrounded by tears."Good." I pulled back and i instantly opened the door. My heart sank as my eyes met hers, but this time, there was no hatred in her gaze, just the confusion, Just like the first time I saw her.

••Lisa.P.O.V••

The door slammed open, and the same man who was in the room when I woke up entered. He looked at me with a sight smile that felt familiar, but I couldn't quite place who he was. He just stared and I stared back, I desperately wanted to look away, ask him to leave but at that moment, It felt oddly familiar, as if i already had this moment before when I felt the Time had froze and i couldn't look away. a déjà vu?

Suddenly, Ria came running into the room behind him, and upon seeing her, I felt a sense of relief. She immediately burst into tears and hugged me tightly.

"Ria?.. What am I doing here?" I said wrapping my arms around her, still in shock of finding myself in a hospital.

"Lisa..You were in a car crash..Oh my god lisa you woke up." She said, still crying out of joy.

"Car crash?.. wait a second who's that guy?" I said, gazing at the man who was standing behind Ria, looking at me while playing with his lip piercing.

Ria turned to look at him then back at me. "Uh.. This is Tom, He's your boyfriend!" Ria said and I instantly pulled her away from me before I started at her with wide eyes open. "Wait wait, your joking right?" I said in disbelief, there was no way that I had a boyfriend and i don't remember it.

"That's right, darling," the man spoke, and I stared at him, trying to process his words. Something about his voice felt familiar, but I couldn't quite place it and yet I didn't have a good feeling about it."No, there's no way. There is absolutely no way," I said, laughing nervously, thinking that they might be trying to pull a prank on me.

But Their serious expressions and Ria's teary eyes made me doubt it was a joke. "F..For how long?" I asked,

"from when we got here, in Tokyo" Ria said smiling but something was off. something definitely didn't sound right but my headache was killing me and I couldn't think right, I couldn't process the things, it was like i was in America and the next day in Tokyo in a hospital with a boyfriend beside me.

Tom came up closer and sat beside me, pulling his hand towards mine and gently crossing his fingers on my hand and I felt my blood running cold with each touch of his and sent shivers down my spine. It felt comforting and haunting at the same time and my body didn't know how to react.

I glanced at my hand, and my eyes widened in surprise as I noticed a big and deep scar on my wrist. With trembling fingers, I brought my hand closer to my face, examining the mark in disbelief. "Wait... When did this happen?" I said.

"Uh..Probably in the accident." Ria said and I started at her oddly. "This doesn't look like a accident Ria, This is a straight cut.."

"Ria why don't you leave us alone for a bit huh?" Tom cut me off and pulled my hand back into his hand.

"Wait no...don't go." I said.

"Now!" Tom insisted and Ria got up to leave without a word. "Wait I said no I want her to stay." I snapped at him.

"Uh Lisa...darling you don't feel very well." He said smirking. "And Bill is probably waiting for her, why don't you relax a bit? you'll see her again don't worry."
