Memories of Us
What would you do if you woke up one day and suddenly everything you knew was gone? For Kensi that is exactly what happened. Every memory she had ever had of him, every thought, every touch, everything, it was gone. It was erased like footprints in the sand without a trace. She tried so hard to remember, she wanted to remember, but there was no past memory she could recall, there was nothing but darkness. Her life before today didn't exist.
Deeks rushed into the ER, with Callen and Sam close behind him showing their badges to anyone who stood in their way of getting to her.
" Kensi Blye, where is she?" Deeks asked the nurse.
"Are you her family?" The nurse asked.
"Damn right we are." Sam added.
"Come with me." The nurse said as she led the three men down the hall. The colors on the walls were awful. The cream color on it looked like it hadn't been painted since the late 80's. Everything here was bright and clean, and terrifying Deeks thought to himself as they made their wall down the hallway towards her room.
"Is she ok?" Callen asked.
"When she was brought in here she was pretty messed up. She has several cracked ribs, several deeps cuts that had to be stitched up, one on the palm of her hand, the other on her left side. Her right leg is broken." The nurse explained.
"Why do I feel like that is not even the worst of it?" Callen asked.
"Its not. She has psychogenic amnesia." The nurse said.
Thos words quickly grabbed his attention. Deeks exhaled and ran his hand through his shaggy blonde hair. "What does that even me?" He questioned.
"Psychogenic amnesia is the inability to retrieve stored memories leading up to the event that caused this. She knows who she is, and where she is, but her past, it doesn't exist. Any events from here forward she can remember." The nurse explained.
"So everything that has ever happened to her has never happened in her mind?" Deeks asked.
"Yes." The nurse answered.
Deeks looked liked he was literally going to be sick. He couldn't form words, there were so many things he wanted to know, but right now he just couldn't process his thoughts. Sam seemed to understand where Deeks mind had gone, so he stepped up.
"Will her memory ever come back?" Sam asked.
"More then likely yes. As to when that we don't know. Sometimes with these cases its weeks, sometimes months, we have even seen one get their memory back after almost eight years."
"So what do we do for her?" Deeks questioned.
"Tell her who she is. Most often the people who spend the most time with family and friends tend to retrieve their memory quicker. If she remembers one thing, one event, it could trigger her memory to return in full. Start from the beginning so she will understand how you know her, work your way up from there. Be patient with her, not knowing anything its difficult. Sometimes patients get very angry at the world or themselves when they have know knowledge of their own life. You all can see her, she is awake and doing well." The nurse informed them.
Deeks reached for door knob of her room, he turned to Sam and Callen before he opened it. Both of the senior agents nodded their heads in encouragement for him to continue. He gathered all his remaining courage and pushed the door open. Kensi was laying with her head facing the window when they had entered the room. All three of the men lined up, standing at the foot of her bed.
Deeks moved forwards first making his way around the side of her bed. "Kensi." he whispered softly.
Kensi turned her head in the direction of Deeks when she heard her name whispered to her. When her eyes met his she was greeted with the most stunning blue eyes she had ever seen before. Though the this man standing beside her bed was unfamiliar to her, something in his eyes captivated her, there was something there that was almost familiar to her.
"Who are you?" She asked confused.
A/N: What do you think? This story will contain flash backs as Deeks and the rest of the team tell Kensi the story of her life. I would love to hear what you guys think about this idea.
