It has been a week since the accident and Shawn is recovering but he hasn't woken up yet. Everyone is giving me some space after I went kinda off the rails. Right now I am looking through our old photo album and my phone rings
"Hello?"
"Liv, you gotta get down here. He's awake" Sophie says and I smile. This is the moment you have been waiting for Liv
"I'll be there in a few minutes" I say while hanging up the phone and running to the hospital, I can't drive because Ash told dad about the whole trying to commit suicide thing and he took away my keys for "safety reasons"
------
I see Sophie and I give her a big hug "how is he?"
"He's good, he's really good. He's eating good, he's smiling, and he broke up with Beth so I am happy" She says and I smile
"Can I see him?" I ask and she nods
"Of course you can, he's right in there" she says while pointing to a room, thank god he's out of the ICU. I walk into the room and greet him with a smile
"Hey Shawn, how are you feeling?"
"Really sore but I'm okay" he's smiling that's good right
"I was so worried about you. You have no idea what I went through, I threatened a guy with a ice skate blade just so I could get to you quicker"
"That's nice that you care about me so much... Who are you?" He asks and my heart sinks. He doesn't remember
"You don't remember me? What about that lady outside?" I ask referring to Sophie
"Of course I know my own mother"
I take out my phone and show him a picture of Mason "what about him?"
"That's Mason" What the hell is going on?
"Sophie!" I call out and she comes rushing in
"Is everything okay?" She asks in a worried tone and she sees the tears in my eyes so she glares at Shawn
"What did you do?"
"Wait... Are you my sister? Is that why moms being so overprotective?" He asks me and I shake my head
"Okay Shawn I'm gonna do a check up. Is everything okay?" The doctor asks and Sophie glares at him
"What the hell is going on with my son? He remembers everyone but his best friend!"
"M'am this is very constant when people have an accident. He may have been thinking about you when he got hit, or when he heard your voice earlier in the week and almost died it drained his memory of you"
"That makes no sense!" I shout and he smiles
"Maybe if you kiss him he'll remember?" He says but it came out as more of a question
"You don't know what your dealing with do you?"
"Yes I actually do, when he fell he hit his head and then got run over, he was probably thinking of you because sometimes that happens when a person has an accident. Your expression was just very funny" he says and I almost charge after him but am being held back by Sophie
Once she finally lets go, I look at Shawn with tears in my eyes "I'm just going to give you some time" I whimper while running out of his room and back home
----
"Liv, open the door, come on" Ashley says because I locked my door as soon as I got home
I have to talk to someone. I take a deep breath and open the door, Ashley immediately hugs me
"What happened, why are you sad? He's awake!"
"H-he doesn't remember me. He remembers everyone else but me" I cry and Ashley takes out my phone and walks out
Ashley's POV
"Hello?"
"Shawn, it's Ashley"
"Why are you using Liv's phone?"
"Ah-ha! I knew you remembered her you lying piece of shit!"
"Okay... I do remember her"
"Then why the hell did you pull this jack ass move?!"
"Because she's better off without me in her life. I cause her pain and she's dating Nick now and she's happy"
"She's not happy! She threatened to freakin Stab the shoe guy at the ice rink so she could get to you! She loves you, it may not be in the way you want it, but she does. And when you almost died... She wanted to die, she almost jumped off a cliff for you! You cause her so much pain. You dated other girls after the two of you kissed, you f*cking dated me for crist sake and that hurt her! You say you care for her but all you do is hurt her, you lie you cheat and you use your looks and personality to manipulate her. And now you go and do this?! It may sound like I have anger issues but you know what? I'm sick and tired of watching her cry or be sad over you. So I'm gonna tell her that you actually do remember her and that's gonna show how much of a jack ass you really are. You thought I was a bitch before? You haven't seen anything yet. You better watch because I am coming after you with such power that you'll wish you died that day" I throw the phone against the wall. Oh shit, that was hers.
I storm back into the room and see Liv crying "get up" I say and she looks at me
"Come on. Get up" I say and she wipes away the tears and stands up
"I owe you a new phone and your probably gonna be even more hurt when I tell you this... He really does remember you, he just lied about it. I called him from your phone and I caught him in the lie" I see the hurt on her face so I take a deep breath and continue
"You don't need him. Some friendships last and some don't. It may hurt now but it won't soon, don't worry. I'll make sure he pays. You have a bunch of people who love and care about you. You have me, my mom, Mason, Mr Montoya, Nick, Mrs Jacobs and so many more people and we all love you for you. Shawn, well he took you for granted way to many times. Expectations vs reality right? The expectations that best friends will fall in love vs the reality that it will never be. I'm sorry but that's life and I am tired of seeing you sad or hurt by him. I won't have it anymore. From now on its gonna be You, me, Mason and Nick against the world" I say and she smiles
"Forever" She says and I smile.
Alright Shawn Jacobs you better watch your back because I'm coming for you and I'm not backing down
