David swallowed roughly. "You don't sell anymore, Erin. You--you work at a bookstore."
Trixie came in with the doctor then, and he moved to the bed, telling David and Eli to move aside. He checked her out, asking her some questions before finally sighing and addressing Eli and David. "She has a concussion, causing minor amnesia. My hope is that as she heals, her memory will come back."

Eli frowned, thinking he might cry. He looked at Trixie, really glad she was here.
Zippy looked at the doctor. "My memory?" Her eyes began to water, and she looked around, her breathing increasing. "I lost my memory?" What year was it? How old was she? She looked at the people in the room. None of their faces really registering. Eli's, maybe, but she was pretty sure she was just imagining that. and maybe the other boy's, but not really.

David's lip quivered and nodded as the doctor said he'd come in and check on her later before leaving. He looked down at Zippy, eyes welling up again. "Erin..."
Trixie was crying quietly, holding onto Eli. "Oh, Eli...honey, I'm so sorry..."

She looked at David. "How do you know my real name?" She asked him, frowning. "Does Tristan know I'm here?" She added, figuring that if she was in Manhattan, and him in brooklyn, he might not know...
Eli looked at Trixie then glanced back at Erin. "Shit." He swallowed, and looked at his lap. "I just got her back..."

He tried to swallow back a sob. "Erin, I--it's David. We--you're not...with Tristan anymore. He--we've been together for six months..."
Trixie wrapped her arms around him, holding him. "We'll get her back again. David'll help her remember."

zippy shook her head. "No." she began to cry softly, burying her face in her hands. Why did her whole body hurt?
Eli sighed, tilting his head at her and then looking at David, his eyes connecting with his. At least she wasn't suffering from the pain of losing David, Jr....

David nodded at Eli, then looked back at Zippy and touched her shoulder gently. "I--Erin, I love you. And you love me."
Trixie rubbed his back gently.

Erin nodded, sniffling a bit. She didn't wanna believe it though. She thought Tristan had been coming around, they weren't seeing anybody else. This didn't make any sense.
Eli licked his lips, and stood up. He couldn't look at her anymore. "Your necklace, Erin." She looked at him, blinking, and then touched it. "That's how we met, remember?" He chuckled a bit at the thought, staring at her. Her face was blank and she shook her head. He sat on the edge of her bed. "You and David were making out in the alley, and I was desperate for money since Luke was sick...so I robbed you and him, but you got angry and punched me over the necklace. Then I realized who you were." He smiled warmly again. Zippy, instead, gave him a terrified look.
"You tried to ROB ME?"

David licked his lips, squeezing her arm gently. "It--it's okay, Erin. We--Eli and I...we're friends now. Him and me. 'Cause a' you. Because you wanted us to be close. Because it was important to you."
Trixie moved forward, giving Zippy a small smile. "Heya, Erin..."

"And because he couldn't help falling in love with me like everyone else," Eli pointed out, trying to stay calm by moving to his obvious comfort zone.
Erin raised her eyebrow and then looked at Trixie. "Hi." She had no idea who this girl was.

Trixie bit her lip. "I--I'm Trixie. I--I'm Eli's girlfriend. We--we're friends, me and you."
David licked his lips again, nervously. "We all really care about you, Erin."

The nurse came in, sighing. "Visitor hours are over. You can all come back tomorrow."
Erin let out a small sigh of relief. She had enough for one day, maybe she could go back to sleep and wake up in Tristan's arms....
Eli glanced at Zippy, a bit unsure. "Yeah, okay. I'll be back tomorrow after work, okay Erin?" He kissed her forehead.

David shook his head. "I'm not leaving." The nurse opened her mouth to protest, but David cut her off. "She's my fiance for Christ's sake, let me stay."

Erin gasped. "I AM?" She looked at her hands for signs of a ring.
Eli sighed, glancing at Zip. "Dave...."

David frowned. "No. When she left for work this morning, she was planning on marrying me. Just because she's forgotten doesn't mean that's changed. I'll be damned if I leave her here alone."
The nurse clearly saw there would be no arguing, so she allowed it and left.
