I get back to see Kyle sitting in the waiting room. I walk past him to Darcy's room, but he stops me by grabbing my wrist. I look down at him and all he does his shake his head, eyes tearing up.
Oh no.
I walk back and take a seat next to him, "Kyle...what happened?" I ask him in a straight tone. Kyle just bites his lips and tears form in his eyes. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit, "KYLE?!" I yell as tears sting my eyes.
"DARCY HAS AMNESIA, DAN!" Kyle shouts back, crying. My hand slips out of his grip. I stare at him as he plants his face in his hands. A single tear slides down my cheek.
"N-No. You're lieing..." Kyle shakes his head.
"No, Dan, I don't think I am." I grip my heart and stumble backwards. I swear my heart has just stopped. I shake my head in disbelief as I fall to my knees. I hadn't realized that I was hyperventilating until I started gripping my hair.
I get to my feet and run down the hallway. Everything seems to move slowly around me as my head pounds. I get to her room to see her awake in bed, playing with an iPod.
"Darcy?" I cautiously take a few steps towards her, scared of what is to come. She looks over at me and smiles.
"Oh, hi! You must be the assistant doctor!" I stare at her, heart broken.
"Darcy, it's me, Dan." Darcy nods.
"Okay," She raises an eyebrow at me, "Hey, Doctor Dan." She sweetly smiles and looks back down at her iPod. I can't take it anymore.
I run out of her room, past Kyle, and outside, only to get rained on. My knees give way, causing me to fall onto the wet pavement. Why? WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?! The love of my life is diagnosed with leukemia and next thing you know, because of it, she falls, hits her head, and comes up with amnesia.
I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my life.
Tears stream down my face at a quick pace as I scream into the rain, thinking of what has just happened to Darcy. I've lost her. Possibly forever. She doesn't remember me. She doesn't remember anything.
I look around, my tears mixing with the pouring rain. Nobodies around. Again...I am all alone.
All alone and broken hearted...

Kyle's *POV*
I watch Dan run past me, tears running down my face. Oh no. I stare straight ahead, wide eyed, thinking of what has happened.
Dan lost her. He lost Darcy.
He can't go through this pain again. I stand up and dial Woody's number, telling him what has just happened, "Will and I will be over right away, Ky! Make sure he doesn't run off and do something stupid!" I nod and we hang out. Exhaling loudly, I place my phone in my pocket and head outside.
I walk into the rain and look around the empty streets, squinting, "Dan?" I shout into the rain, "DAAAAN!" I tug my fingers through my now ungelled hair, cussing under my breathe.
He's gone.

"Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do"
