Benn (in thought): This was gonna be the second time in a long line of me remembering things while unconscious. This was also going to be one of the most important. It started the exact same way as when I opened the apartment door, except something seemed different. Something felt off, as though something was missing. When I finally opened the apartment door, instead of me falling unconscious, I was greeted to something much more happier, and something incomplete. It was a scene of four people standing in front of the door with party poppers, 2 males(one white the other dark skinned) and 2 females(one asian, the other mexican). With their faces blacked out.
Four people: Welcome Home!!*while popping the poppers*
Benn: Wha- How’d you guys get in?
1 of the males: We just asked your landlord for the spare. Luckily, he gave it up when we told him we wanted to surprise you
Benn: And why exactly did you want to surprise me?
the other male: Well obviously because we wanted to congratulate you on getting your new place.
one of the females: Well that and because it’s your birthday.
Benn: Umm… Well wow. Thought you guys would forget. Like you did last year.
other female: No, WE remembered. It was ERIK who forgot to tell you to go where we had told him to take you
Erik(first male, face still covered): Umm no…(memory fades, goes to another memory in the same apartment, this time only with Erik inside it , sitting on a chair in a table, studying)
Erik: I’m telling you man. I am going to fucking fail this test. And the next one. And the one after that.
Benn: Well, maybe you wouldn’t fail if you started to ACTUALLY pay attention in class, instead of staring at the girl that sits in front of you
Erik: What are you talking about? Meli- I mean... who are you talking about? Ok, point taken. Just shut up and help me study already.
Benn: Alright alright. (memory fades, goes to another memory in the same apartment, this time with Benn inside it, studying.)
*Knock on door*
Benn: Coming
*opens door, one of the girls is seen with face covered, holding bag of food up*
Benn: Oh my god, thank you. You are a lifesaver.
Girl: So I’ve heard
Benn: No, seriously I haven’t eaten anything in almost two days. Anyways come on in, make yourself comfortable.
Girl: Thank you
Benn: What did you bring?
Girl: What you usually get. chow mein, rice, orange chicken and egg rolls.
Benn: Thank you. Good thing your family works at a chinese restaurant. Which is weird seeing as how your family Mexican.

*Benn starts to eat chow mein*
Girl: I hope you understand that this isn’t for free
Benn(with chow mein falling from his mouth) wait, what?...(memory fades, goes to another memory in the same apartment for third time, with Benn with other male, playing video games)
Benn: Hah! how’s that for an ass kicking? 7- nothing, Bitch!
Male: Aww come on, one more match dude. I swear, last one.
Benn: No, doesn’t even matter you’re gonna lose anyways.
Male: Then you wouldn’t mind if we play one more match.
Benn: Alright but by the end of it you’re gonna need a body bag to leave this apartment.
Male: Alright, I’ll make you eat your words…. (memory fades, goes to another memory in the same apartment for the last time, with Benn and the other female, Benn crying and girl comforting him)
Girl: It’s ok...it’s ok. It wasn’t your fault. Come on, these things happen.
Benn: I know but why did it have to happen to me? why did they have to die?
Girl: It’s ok, it’s ok. It was their time, you had nothing to do with them dying.
Benn: Yes, it is my fault those plants died. I kept forgetting to water to them, I kept them in the dark. It was all my fault…(memory fades, goes into a montage of other memories)
Benn(in thought): Friends, I knew I wasn’t alone, after my parents died. I mean of course Amy was there after the accident, but I didn’t think there were others who knew me. Hmmm... something seems off. As though something, or someone were missing. I can’t tell what or who is missing. Hmm… it’s probably nothing.(montage ends) hopefully it’s nothing…. hmmm… this should be around the time where I wake up… any day now… wait, has it been a day? Actually, how long has it been since I fell unconscious? Wait, what if I never wake up? What if I’m just in the hospital again in a coma?... That would be horrible…
???:Emily
Benn: Hmm, what?
???: Emily
Benn: Who?
???: Emily, you dick I’m not gonna say it again you little shi-
Benn: hah i’m messing with you I heard you the first time. Who is that?
???: Ugh… She’s someone very important to you
Benn: Why?
???: You must find her to know why
Benn: Why?
???: Because that’s how it works
Benn: Why?
???:... I honestly don’t know
Benn: Why?
???: Ok now you’re getting annoying, kid
Benn: Why?
???: Just shut up and wake up already…I feel better when I’m alone...
Benn: Wh…….y….?
*Wakes up*
Benn: Emily
