The one who makes me whole ch. 5
#6 of The one who makes me whole
What will Petunia do now that Handy has amnesia? Will they go back to being in a relationship?
Petunia continued to stare at Sniffles. If she hadn't stopped by Handy's house then she would have lost him. Forever. "We're going back there again, just make sure you don't slip up again and avoid anything that might trigger any bad memories." as Sniffles went back inside leaving Petunia to her own thoughts.
Lammy approached her, putting her hand on her shoulder she tells her "It's ok, there's still hope for him, and for the both of you yet. You can still save him" she reassured her. Petunia only nodded, wiped her tears and went back inside the room.
Handy stared at Petunia, smiling as soon as she entered and cheerily said "Oh, Petunia, I'm sorry if I made you cry earlier. I promise I will make it up to you for making you worry. I'd take you anywhere and anything you want as soon as I'm better." he said. Petunia smiled, his caring and kind nature still there even when he lost his memories.
"We can go home together as soon as you get better. I'll take you to your house and we ca-" Petunia said before being cut off by Sniffles saying "Yes! The house that you two live together in! Right Petunia?"
Petunia was confused, why did Sniffles cut her off all of a sudden. Then she realized that she was supposed to keep an eye on him and Handy's house was where he had committed suicide, if she took him there, he would remember everything too soon.
"Uh, yes, of course, we live together. we just moved in yesterday before your accident." said Petunia. Handy then wondered about something and asked "What kind of accident was I in?" she didn't know what to say fearing she might trigger a memory before Sniffles saved her saying "Nevermind the specifics Handy, what matters is you're alright now. I'll have Lammy here check on you for now." he said as Lammy approached Handy and closed the curtains of the bed and asked him questions.
"Does your head still hurt?" she asked him which got a response of "a bit" from him.
"Alright, be sure to tell Petunia everything you feel, physically or emotionally so she could do whatever she can to help you get better outside the hospital" said Lammy. Lammy continued to tell him more things he should take precautions with.
After all the medical information was asked, Handy in turn asked a question. "What was she like?"
"Pardon?"
"Petunia, what kind of person was she before my accident?"
"Well, you two always liked to do things together. One time I even saw you two sharing a cotton candy together. You two were one of the rare couples I ever saw but it's sweet how you two are just like Cuddles and Giggles."
"Who're those people"
"Oh, Cuddles is one of your friends, his girlfriend Giggles also works the reception desk here."
"Well then, I'll be the best boyfriend that this town and Petunia will ever have" replied Handy.
Lammy giggled in response, not seeing him this enthusiastic and happy for a long time. "I'm sure you will" as she brought out a small flashlight and told him to have his eyes follow it.
Meanwhile, Sniffles was instructing Petunia on another thing. "As I have said earlier, we can't risk Handy remembering recent events. So avoid any places he's been in for the time. I will have somebody get all his stuff he needs from his house and deliver it to your house. I'll have Pop, Lifty, Toothy and Mime move all his things to your house while Lumpy will help... Handy-proof the place."
"W-wait, this is too much. What if I accidentally remind him of something bad?" worried Petunia. "Then act like you've always been when you were together. Aside from losing your hands, I'm sure you can remind him of all the good times you've spent together." said Sniffles.
"Ok, just good memories, just good memories." she repeated to herself. Petunia sat on the other empty beds as she waited for Lammy to finish Handy's checkup. She thought to herself that if Handy already decided to kill himself earlier, it was only right for her to be the one to fix him.
She stared at the closed curtains as Sniffles dialed the tree friends to fetch Handy's luggage. A lot had happened in just one day, changing the lives of both tree friends, it was just a matter of whether or not this change was for the better or for worse.
She layed on the bed and drifted to sleep, relieved that at least she didn't lose the sweet and orange beaver that she knew back then.
I know this is short guys but I'll have a lot of time to add more to the story tomorrow.
