[Adellah's Point Of View]

"Did you really let Ronnie take me? After you knew I lost my memory, and I dated you?" I had asked Mike weakly after I woke up. His Italian face was the first thing I laid my eyes on the second I opened them. A small smile had appeared on it when he noticed I woke up. This was the first thing I asked him. Mike reluctantly nodded his head, admitting he thought it was for the best. Offering him a weak smile, I tried to understand his side of the story. Honestly, I felt like he just gave up on me, throwing me to Ronnie just to get rid of me. That's what half of my brain was telling me. The other half was telling me it was right of him to do that. What if I hadn't been with Ronnie? I wouldn't know if I would find out the things I did. Would I? The heart rate monitor increased as I thought of this.

"Whoa. Calm down." Mike touched my forehead with one hand, and rested the other just above the wrist where the needle was inserted. Inhaling a deep breath, I nodded. He gave me a gentle, reassuring smile. Soon enough, the doctor and nurses rushed in, ushering Mike off to the side.

"You shouldn't get yourself stressed out too much Miss Rivera." My doctor explained to me, flipping through his clipboard, before coming closer to my side. "That's what caused you to faint in the first place." He let out a soft chuckle, as if that was a Reader's Digest worthy comment. You aren't getting paid fifty bucks for that one doctor! (Granted, he made more than I currently did.)

"I'd rather you not tell this in front of Mi-" I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I just hated it to happen. They needed to understand that I could take care of myself, and having someone worried about me...well that's just stupid. Since I was a teen, after my parents had passed away, that's all anyone had really been doing with me! And everyday since after the funeral I strived to make myself seem less vulnerable. So everyone could see I could make it on my own. But no one ever did. No one else but Ronnie.

"Too late I'm worried." Mike answered my inner thoughts. I was taken aback. Maybe I was closer to him than I thought. Shaking my head, I silently tried to tell him not to. Really, I hated it. Sighing when he replied that he had every right to, I dropped it. My doctor ran some small tests around the room. Checking my blood pressure, temperature, making sure that I was stable. He informed me that I was able to leave the hospital in a day, but to take it easy. As in, nothing that can give me any serious stress if emotional damage. The way he had informed me about it made me sound like a woman who was going through menopause. The only other possible stresser would be college, which I had to return to in a while. Just fantastic. I recover from a coma, find out my boyfriend had been lying to me, end up in the hospital once more for fainting, and back to school I go. All those exams are going to send me back here shorter than they know it.

Once the room emptied out, I asked Mike where Maxima and Ron had gone. He and I were the only ones inside. He shrugged his shoulders, telling me Ron took off in an angry fit, from the information Max had given him, and she just vanished. I asked him what he felt when he found out I lost my memory. Okay, I had heard it off the Reunion episode, but I wanted to hear it from him personally. First hand is always better than secondary sources. "Like I died. My world came crashing down Adellah." He knelt beside my bed as he took my hand in his. His thumb rubbed up and down over my hand. This was really cheesy. "I know it may sound...artificial. Corny even, but I couldn't take it. Ron..." He huffed as he rolled his eyes. "He was happy as can be, knowing he could get you back the way he did." It made me feel smaller than a pebble when he said that. It was true though. Ron had gotten me back in an unfair way. And yet he got me back so easily, which just showed how gullible I was.

"All is fair in love and war Mike." Ronnie scoffed, appearing out of nowhere. Mike stood up to reach eye level with Ron. Was it just me, or did this seem as if it were a Soap Opera now? One of those cheesy, low budget ones too, like Days of Our Lives, or the Young and Restless. "Stop being such a wuss that I got her instead of you." Ron slightly pushed Mike back. I could tell Mike was really pissed at what he had just done, but tried to keep calm.
