(Make Anthony loose his memory)
Anthony’s POV
I have no idea what happened next. But by the time I opened my eyes, I saw myself lay on the hospital bed.
I stared to the left and I saw Scot and Brian sitting on a chair beside the bed I lay. They were bowing their heads on their hands
I turned to the left and I saw Nancy bandaged from head to toe. Then I remembered what happened last. The car blew. That was what I remembered last.
But where is Brandon and that Romeo? I wanted to stand up but their are many medical gadgets connected to my body
I find it hard to even speak but I tried to voice out few words.
“Brian, Scot” I called cus I assume they were probably sleeping or lost in deep thought
They rose up all of a sudden and walked closer to me.
“Thanks goodness you are alive. The doctor said your chances of being alive is 50/50. We aren’t so sure that you will survive that terrible accident” Brian said.
That was when it dawn on me that the accident we had is a terrible one.
“Where is Brandon?” I asked hoping that nothing had happened to him
“I’m here” He said as he entered the ward I lay
I exhale happily that we didn’t lost anyone.
“Where is Romeo?” I anxiously asked
“I’ve kept him in my custody ” He replied
“Oh! But how come you aren’t injured?” I asked
“Cus I’m a robot and not a human. ” He replied briefly and smiled
“How are you doing now?” He asked as he took more steps closer to me
“Not fine yet. Is anything wrong with any part of my body?” I asked
“No. Just that something strange happened” Brandon said
“There is nothing strange there Brandon , forget it.
You did not need to tell him” Brian said and I looked at Brian wondering why he did not want Brandon to tell me
But I’m anxious to know really
“I’ll tell him anyways. When the car blew. I was quick enough to escape and hurriedly find a way of making Nancy and you escaped but you both had lost consciousness.
Some part of Nancy’s face get burnt. After bringing you to the hospital here . The doctor performed a series of text on Nancy and you.
The doctor made us understand that Nancy’s real face was covered with a strange skin by a surgical operation.
The doctor said that kind of operation is usually performed on criminals who are trying to escape the punishment of the law.
Another facial skin will be placed on their face so they look like another human being already. He asked few questions about Nancy and I told him the few I know. What the doctor is insinuating is that Nancy is actually another person” Brandon said and my face dropped
“You talk of the fact that one Donna that you use to date is dead. What if she is Donna” Brandon suggested.
“Keep your f*cken mouth shut. What the hell are you talking about? We all know that Donna is dead and even if Donna is alive , that will be Karen. How can you compare a common babysitter to our Donna”
Scot said to Brandon
“Don’t mind this Brandon of a guy. Brandon , you know I dislike you. You are too forward , you talk too much .
Must you tell Anthony all these ? How does it add or remove to the pain he is suffering now. Can’t you just focus in your life and stop tryna help everyone like you some kinda god .
You just a robot that does not have any life. So because you saved Anthony, you think you can behave anyhow.
You must be intentionally crazy. I disliked you so much ever since the day I got informed that you staged Anthony and Nancy into k!ss.
You such a jerk Robot. Is that what you are made for ? You made Anthony Betray his love for Donna.
You know what? The flower boys dislike you so much . Get the f*ck out of our lives” Brian said Brandon bowed his head slightly and rose it and stared at Brian and Scot
He walked out sullenly and embarrassedly
“Fool” Scot muttered and I try to reason with my brothers for disliking him.
Yeah! The crazy robot made me betray my Love for Donna
“Anthony, do not mind him. Yes, Nancy has two faces according to the doctor, we will have to investigate her to get to know who she really is cus it seems she has being pretending all along with us” Brian said and I nodded gently
“Anthony, you will be fine now . Regaining your consciousness is the most important thing and now I’m happy that you are conscious ” Scot said
“Brian, according to what I heard. it was said that Brandon gave you a text and you prove him right that you have a feelings for Nancy by k!ssing her .
Wanna ask, did you really have a feeling of Love towards Nancy?” Brian asked me
“Yes I do to be sincere . Seems her seductive prowess worked on me” I confessed
“Did you like the feelings ?” Brian asked
“It’s kinda complicated. I use to hate it but not anymore. Ever since I k!ssed her, I began to have deeper feelings for her ” I replied
“Anthony, wake up . What has gone wrong with you?
You use to tell me that I should never fall in Love with that commoner . you are doing the same thing now ” Brian said
“Brian, I no longer have the feelings of love I use to have for Donna. If I play music’s for Donna , could you believe I no longer feel her presence and energy around me . Everything just goes dry” I replied
“I said it. this girl got to your head like she did to mine again. Anthony , can you stop this feelings you having towards Nancy?” Brian asked
“What if I tell you that I Love her ” I said
“Then I will force you to stop loving her” Brian said with an angry face and brought out an injection from his pocket
He filled it with a brownish liquid.
“Anthony, I’m sorry for this but I can never let you fall In Love with Nancy under my nostril. Nancy is mine . When I inject you now, you loose your memories and hopefully forget all the feelings you having towards Nancy too. Anthony, I’m sorry . My Love for Nancy made me want to do this , I’m not being cruel” He brought the injection closer to me and I closed my eye in pain
I can’t yell, I can’t stand, I can’t struggle to survive.
The medical gadgets had made me static.
