Don't Forget Me

I stop just in time, and after I did, I get out of my car to see this for myself.
It was definitely Delaney was standing right in front of me. She had a cut on her cheek and bruises on her arms, but she seemed to be in one piece.
"D-Delaney? Delaney....oh my God you're alive! Oh my God I can't believe it!" I grab her and hug her as tight as I can, only for her to try and squirm out of my grasp. She freed herself from my hug, looking quite bothered and angry.
"Um, I'm sorry, but who the hell do you think you are?" Delaney said, and she was really pissed off.
"......I-I don't understand. Laney, it's me, Alex," I said, confused and hoping to God she was actually joking.
"I don't know an Alex. I don't know who the hell you are!"
"Wait....what? H-how do you not know who I am? I'm your fiancé!"
"HA, in what world? I don't even know you! For all I know you could be some fucking creep trying to take advantage of me!"
When she said that, I don't think my heart could have been more broken than it was at that moment when she said "I don't even know you." After all we've been through, I'm just a creep to her.
"Now wait a minute, Delaney! How do you not know who I am? Do you not remember that you were in an accident?"
She looks over at me with this cold, blank stare. "What accident? What are you talking about and how do you know me?"
"Because I am your fiancé! We were suppose to marry in two months! We were going to spend our whole lives together and you don't know who the fuck I am?!"
"Look dude, just fuck off! I don't need this shit right now. I don't know who the hell you are and you certainly aren't going to get to know me, so piss off, bro!"
Delaney storms off as I felt the rest of my heart break and a sudden pain developed in my chest. I finally found Delaney and she doesn't even know who I am. Engaged one day, strangers the next.
I watched her walk into an apartment building just across the street, she has to be living with someone there and they don't know about her story. Whatever it may be, I need to get Delaney back because I'm not giving up on someone I love so much.
I get into my car and I head home to tell Zack everything.

I burst through the front door to find Zack sitting on the couch, watching T.V.
"Zack! I found Laney! I actually found Laney!"
"W-wait, you what?" He appeared confused by my statement, and hell, I don't blame him.
"I found Laney walking across a street and I almost ran her over with the car and I got out of the car to give her a hug since I was so happy I had found her and.....and......"
"What, dude?"
"....She doesn't know who I am. She called me a creep and told me to piss off."
"Are you sure that that was Laney and not another girl?"
"I'm so damn positive it was her! She had that tattoo wrapped around her leg, you know? Remember when she got that?"
Zack gave me a blank stare, then sat down on the couch.
"Well, where is she now? Is she still in the area?"
I sit down beside Zack. "She's in the area of where Jack lives. I saw her walk into some apartment building and I don't know if she's staying with someone there or what. I have to find out if there's anyone who knows anything! There's has to be some explanation."
Zack pondered for a minute or two, then looked up at me.
"Alex, if she doesn't remember anything, do you think.....it's amnesia? Like if she doesn't remember anything, it's most likely amnesia. In fact, that's exactly what it is. The accident must've gave her some kind of head trauma that caused her memory to get all screwed up."
I sit there, trying to process what Zack had just said, trying to understand that Delaney wasn't purposefully acting like that, she really can't remember me, or anything for that matter.
"Well, we have to go back to that apartment building tomorrow to get to the bottom of this. We're getting Delaney back and we're going to trigger her memory because she needs to know how much she's missed by everyone and how life isn't the same without her. We need to bring any type of proof to whoever is watching her and get them to believe us and have her taken to a doctor if they haven't done so yet."
Zack and I gather whatever information we can on Delaney: social security, birth certificate, her license, everything. She needs to know who she is to us and that we all need her. I need her to know what happiness is again.
