Autophobia

Jordyn's POV

"Your medal's pretty." I say as I play with Kelley's 2020 Olympic gold medal.

"I'm still pissed they made you stay here." Kelley mumbles as we cuddle on the couch in our home.

Kelley was very very pissed at the US Olympic Committee for not letting me go to the Olympics, but I was too tired to fight the USOC so I stayed home.

I think I technically could have gone to the Olympics, but I couldn't stay in the same room as Kelley, I couldn't be anywhere near the team, and the only time I could see the team was at game's so I decided to stay home with Sandy and watch the games on TV.

"It's over." I say. "Nothing we can do now."

"I know." Kelley says then she kisses my head. "Where's Sandy?"

"She's laying in her bed." I say and point to the doggy bed in the corner of the room.

"Ah." Kelley says

"Kelley?"

"Yeah Bunny?"

"What if I don't remember them again?" I question.

"Then we can make a lifetime's worth of new memories with your parents." Kelley says.

My parents are coming into Portland this weekend to meet Kelley as well as look at all the wedding stuff we have planned.

"I guess they're here." Kelley says after our doorbell rings.

Toby and Christen picked up my parents from the airport.

"I guess we need to go meet my parents." I say.

Kelley nods and kisses my head then we get off the couch and head to the door. When we get to the door I open it and come face to face with Toby, Christen, and two other people.

"Hi." I say.

"Hey Bubba." Toby says as Kelley and I move out of the doorway to let the four people in.

As the four visitors come into our home, I hear Sandy come walking towards us then I feel her rub her head on my leg.

"Hi Sandy." I say as I rub her head.

Once I've rubbed Sandy's head she sits at my foot and looks at the four people in front of us.

"Well Mike and Dana." Toby says. "This is Jordyn's fiancée Kelley...Kelley these are Jordyn's parents."

"Nice to meet you." Kelley says with a smile as she shakes the two new people's hands.

"Jordyn where do you want me to put this?" Christen says as she shows me the wedding planning book.

"This way." I say then Christen and I walk to the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, my cousins wife pulls me into a hug which allows me to let my emotions out.

"You don't remember them do you?" Christen asks.

"No." I say. "Why can't I remember Chrissy?"

"I don't know Jordyn." Christen says.

"I hate this." I mumble.

"Bunny?" Kelley says from behind me.

Christen and Kelley swap places which lets me cry in the arms of my future wife.

"Jordyn I'll stall for as long as possible." Christen says. "Do what ever you need to do, but if it's too much then text me and we can try again tomorrow...Okay?"

I nod then Christen kisses my head before she leaves the kitchen.

"Why can't I remember Peaches?" I mumble.

"I don't know Princess." Kelley says. "Do you wanna try again tomorrow?"

"No." I mumble as I feel Sandy rub her self on my leg. "I wanna try."

"You sure?" My future wife asks.

I nod then Kelley leans down a softly kisses me.

"Alright." Kelley says then she kisses me again. "Now Let's go meet your parents."

"You know I've never been to a place like this before." I say as we pull up to our destination.

"You never been to a club before?" Julie asks.

"Nope." I say. "Never had a reason too."

"So why'd you want to go now?"

"Well I'm about to be married so why not try now." I say as I adjust my bride to be sash.

Julie, Becky, Ali, Christen, Toby, and I are in LA for my bachelorette party.

"Uh Toby?" I say as she parks the car.

"Yeah Jordyn?"

"I just thought of something."

"What?" Toby asks.

"I don't think it's really a good idea for me to be in a club." I say. "You know with the seizures and all."

"I hadn't though of that." Toby says.

"Why don't I text Ash and tell her that they can meet us at that lounge down the road if they're not busy tonight." Ali says.

Kelley and her bridal party are having their bachelorette party in LA as well, but we're doing separate party. Kelley wanted her bachelorette party to be in LA so that if I need her then she could be with me.

We've tried to make plans with Kelley's party to meet up for dinner or drinks, but for some reason or another the plans never workout.

I miss my Peaches.

"Okay." I say then I lean into Julie, who I'm sitting next to. "I hope they come."

"I bet they will." Julie says.

Once Ali's texted her wife we head inside the lounge then we sit down on one of the couches.

I'm sat next to Toby.

After we're sat down we order food and drinks then we talk amongst ourselves.

"Is Sandy gonna be in the wedding?" Becky asks as Sandy lays her head on my feet.

"Most likely." I say. "I don't really know when my seizures are gonna happen."

"When's the last time you had one?" Julie asks.

"Kelley said the last one was after we met my parents a few weeks back." I say.

"How'd that go?" Ali asks.

"It was rough in the beginning, but it was nice to be with them for a week."

"Is this seat taken?" I hear a familiar voice say from beside me. 

"Hi Kelley." I say then I pat the seat next to me.

My future wife sits down next to me then I immediately latch on to my fiancée.

"I missed you." I mumble.

"I missed you too Bunny." Kelley says then she kisses my head. "Did you guys decide against the club?"

"We thought it wouldn't be the best idea since I get seizures." I say.

"Oh yeah." Kelley says. "I probably shoulda thought about that."

"I didn't think about it either." I say then I cuddle further into my future wife.

"You okay?" Kelley asks.

"I just missed you." I say with a smile. "And I can't wait to be Mrs. O'Hara."
