Running away through the night so black, a hand reaches out of nowhere and pulls her back. Whispers of voices ringing through her ears, she tries to forget all the fears surrounding her.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, she crashes into a tree and the blunt force throws her off her feet and into the air across the field of tangled grass.

Thinking she might be able to break the fall on the soft patch of grass, but instead, she hits a hard rocky surface and roles across clutching her head in agony that took full impact. Feeling pain all around her, she blacks out into the land of shadows.

Aware of her surroundings again, she tried to stand up but failed miserably and tumbled back on the grass and lost consciousness again.

This time, when she woke up, all around her was a blur. The sharpness she had before was lost and everything was unclear.

Melody looked around confused, her mind not able to process all that was around her.

Where am I?

Wasn't I in a grassy field a second ago?

What happened?

Okay...this is weird..
I think my brain is malfunctioning...

Owww...my head..it hurts....man, I jsut want to die!!!!

Should I scream for help or keep quiet?? Who knows where I am? Maybe I should be quiet...

A loud beeping noise wouldn't stop demanding attention. Melody could not stand it, so she tried to get up and check out what it was.

But as soon as she moved, she collapsed back onto something soft.

A sound of a door opening and people walking rang in her ears.

Oh my gosh, who is that?!

They're walking towards me??
Why is there a door?
I'm in a room? What is going on here?

Should I yell? I can't move, so I should scream??

Deciding to go with that, she tried her voice box and it worked.
A high pitch scream echoed off the walls of the hospital.

The people walking in the room rushed to her thinking she might be in pain.

An all too familiar voice asked her, 'Dy, you're awake! Are you alright?'

She tried to open her eyes again but her brain took a while to sharpen the images around her.
'Woah, it's bright! Where am I?'

When she looked around again, she saw a plump middle age looking man with a round concerned face, another man in a white coat and glasses staring back at her as if she was Taylor Swift, and by the side, looking rather confused, was a young teenage looking Asian boy who couldn't seem to figure out if he was supposed to be happy or scared.

'Um...okay, I don't know what is going on here, this is scary. But by the looks of it, I'm in a hospital? And I can't seem to move without hurting myself. Mind telling what's happening instead of just staring at me like I'm Yuzuru Hanyu?!'

She blinked in surprise at her words, and so did everyone else.
'Wait, Yuzuru Hanyu....he's....He's my training mate? Right? And friend...yeah, that's right. Wow, that was weird. It was as if I forgot who he was for a second'

The three standing exchanged eye contact.

Finally the man in the white coat, the doctor she presumed, spoke up.
'You've just had a car accident and you hit your head from the impact so that's why you may not be able to recall somethings for now. But it should be well in a few months. So don't feel too frustrated if you can't remember who is who or what happened sometimes. It's just a short term condition of short term memory lost, but other then that, you have obtained a muscle injury at your flexor so you maybe need to stay off practice for 2 to 3 weeks to make a full recovery. I wasn't expecting you to be awake already but we'll, it's a good sign.'

'Woah, woah, woah...hold on. I have amnesia? I was in a car accident? When did that happen?'

'Take your time to recall those memories. It may take a while, but nothing is ever truly lost forever. Think hard. Where are you? Why are you in this country? What did you last do that you can remember? This will help the amnesia.'

'Uh...okay, so...we are in....not Canada'

'Good good, keep going'

'Uh...I think there was a figure skating competition??'

'Yes! Were you in that competition?'

'Uh, no'

'Yes, you were'

'I was? Okay, if you say so. So, uh... Wait, I know you! You're Brian!! Coach!!'
Melody pointed at Brian, remembering her coach and smiled widely.

Brian rejoiced with her.
'Dy! Thank goodness you're okay. Now, you know him?' He gestured towards the Asian boy.

'Isn't that, Sota?'

Sota shot his head up in hope.
'You remember me?'

'Yes, of course, doofus!'

At that word, her mind flashed back to the middle of a street.

Two teenagers crossing the street and laughing with snow cones in their hands.

A white car.

Blood.

Pain. Awful pain.

Blackness.

And a boy holding her hand and singing to her.

'SOTA!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!' She screamed out of nowhere.

Then she blinked and they were back in the hospital room.
'Wait...there was a car accident! Haha, I remember!!! Yes I remember'

'You do?' The doctor asked.

'Yes, I remember it was awfully painful. And...Sota was present. Wait, then why aren't you injured, Sota? Not that I want you to be'

'Because you pushed me out of the way and took the hit from the car instead'

'I did that? Man, I am heroic!' She laughed and joked. 'You must mean a lot to me then?'

'You....don't remember what you said before you black out?'

'No....why? What did I say? I love you??' She continued to joke.

'Yes. As a matter of fact, that is what you said'

'I love you, I love you, I love you.....hm, I'm pretty sure I heard myself say that'
She stared at his face for a long time, pondering.

What did I say to him?

I'm pretty sure I said something like that??

I mean, if I did save his life, which I'm quite sure I did because I remember, then he must mean much to me.

Do I love him?
She asked herself.

Yes, I do.
She answered back in her head with almost no hesitation.

She didn't know why, but somewhere in her heart, she could almost feel that she loves Sota.

I mean, if I jumped in front of a car for him, I must really care for him.

I do care for him.

Definitely more than just friends.

I don't know how I know, but I just know.

Maybe apart of me remembers him.

Perhaps love is stronger than life.

Huh, since when was I such a hopeless romantic?
OFF TOPIC!

'I love you', she blurted out randomly.
'I think I do, no, I know I do.'

The more she stared at his face, the more memories flashed before her.

Flash- you like him, and he likes you, see? Perfect!

Flash- I can tell you like him. Besides, I approve.

Flash- I'll protect you

Flash- I love you too much to hate you.

Flash- ...he's the boy who loves you...

Flash- wow, that sounds like quite the love affair you've been having.

Flash- it seems that he's head over heels for you.

Flash- you like him, don't you?? Sota? You choose him, right?

'You alright, Dy? You've been spaced out for a while'. Sota asked as he drew closer to her.

'Huh, yeah, I just remembered something. "Because I finally did something to prove that I love you", I said that, didn't I? I said it the day of the car crash'

'Yea you did,' he smiled, ecstatic that she remembered. He took her hand and intertwined it with his.

'See? Not letting go, just like I promised you'

His hand...they're so warm and reassuring. I feel safe. Well he did say he'll protect me.

Sota's heart could explode with joy.
So she does love me enough to remember me...

'By the way, I won. The Youth Olympics.'

'Woah, yessss, I knew you could do it! Great job. Your biggest fan is proud of you!!' She beamed.

'I'm sure if you got to compete in the free skate then you would've won as well'

The boy who smelled like snowflakes and grass was with his girl now. The Hummingbird was reunited with it's Thistle. Everything was at peace. They finally admitted their feelings to each other and remembered it.

And it is complete. The stars have aligned themselves and the temporary clouds have been blown away with the wind of life. Those two outstanding stars sparkled like diamonds in the sky for everyone to see.

They were not afraid to shine when the moment comes.

For who knows how long until they get covered by clouds again?

Wow, I am a fast writer!! *pats self on the back*
