I've Forgotten - Part 5

Days passed as I lay quietly in the hospital bed. I was constantly trying to remember what I had forgotten but the doctor had urged me earlier not to push my memories but… I needed to know. Every dream for the past week had been about a person with brown eyes… sad brown eyes. I would reach out to the figure trying to get to them but I could never… they were always just out of reach and I would wake up. I would wake up to the bright sun streaming through the window and tears would start to fall, followed by pain swelling in my chest.
It was like this every morning and every time I had gotten everything back under control my mom would show up. Like clockwork she had shown up again.
“Guess what, Laurel?” She said as soon as she had entered through the door. I could probably guess and be right, but I decided to humor her.
“What?”
“The doctor said I could come and bright you home any time tomorrow!”
That is so soon...’ I sighed softly as I thought about going home. ‘Back to where everything had happened…’ Fear started to well up in my chest quickly followed by the squeezing pain. Out of reflex my hand shot to the bracelet currently sitting on my right wrist.
When it had finally faded away I sat there fingering the small pieces attached by a pink string. I had found the bracelet on the bedside on morning and some part of me had recognized it. I remember how my hand shot to it almost afraid it would vanish just beneath my fingers. Once it was in my grasp I held it close to my chest and the pain started to slip away. That day I knew that the bracelet had something to do with whatever I had forgotten. The simple jewelry brought surprising comfort the moment I put it on, and since then I hadn’t taken it off.
“Aren’t you happy, Laurel?”
Jerking out of my thoughts, I smiled and nodded. “It will be nice to be home finally.”
