Already a few days later J was taking Sean to the rehearsals of the lads’ upcoming tour.All of them were hoping and praying that Sean would soon remember everything again,or else they would get major problems with the preparations.
“Hey Sean,how are you doing,mate?”asked Abs when he and J entered the studio.
“Alright…I guess.”the singer mumbled.Sean had been shocked after the lads had told him that he was a famous singer,and even more flabbergasted after hearing that it was only five weeks before a huge tour.
A door flew open and Rob entered the room.”Guys,Paul needs you in the fitness.”
“Oh come on Rob.Can’t we even drink a cup of tea before we start?”whined Scott.
“NOW!”Rob yelled,not in the mood to listen to the lads’ complaining.All of them stood up,sighing deeply,and walked out of the door.
“Sean,wait a minute.”Rob said.The singer looked at J questioning,who just nodded and softly said”It’s alright.I’ll wait for you at the gym.”
Sean turned back to Rob,who just gave a little nod and said”I know that you’re going through a very hard time right now,but it’s very important that you try to give your best.The tour is starting soon and the fans and critics expect a great show.Me and the lads will try to help you as much as we possibly can,but the biggest challenge is for you.Now,if there’s anything you need or want to know,you can find me here.Good luck.”
Sean nodded and left the room,trying to find the other lads.He soon found them at the end of the corridor in a large room with mirrors everywhere.Five girls were standing with the lads,obviously discussing some stuff about the show.All of a sudden a man appeared at Sean’s side and said”Hey Sean,how are you doing?”
Sean looked questioning at the darkhaired man and shrugged his shoulders.
“Oh yeah,I forgot for a second what’s going on.Well,my name’s Paul and I’m your choreographer.”the guy told Sean while he offered his hand.Sean shook it and smiled a small smile.
“Since all of this is strange and new for you again I won’t strain you out too much for today.Just find yourself a place at the back of the room and watch the lads and the dancers.It would be great if you could remember some rountines but don’t force anything cuz that’s no use at all.”
“I’ll try.”
“Then it’s alright.”
Sean sat down on a chair while Paul went back to the waiting group and yelled”Alright everyone,first up is “Slam dunk.”
It was evening when Sean and J arrived at their apartment again.All day long Sean had watched the guys’ rehearsals but not even deep concentration had helped him to remember anything at all.The whole thing was so strange for him,stuff he had done for years and years now seemed to be totally new and he found it hard to cope with that.
Sean followed J inside their house,kicking his shoes off along the way,and fell down on the sofa.J laughed and stated”You haven’t done one thing today while we had to dance over and over again,but still you seem to be the exhausted one.”
Sean just shrugged his shoulders in reply and closed his eyes.J was right,he was exhausted,although it wasn’t physically but mentally.Sean just laid there for a while until the sound of the answering machine could be heard.
“Hey Seanie,it’s me.I’m coming back tomorrow but I have a little problem with my lugage and stuff so please pick me up,alright?I’ll arrive at 8.30 PM.And Sean,make sure to be on time for once.I don’t wanna wait for three hours again before you finally decide to turn up!Anyway,say ‘hi’ to J from me.Love you baby.”
Sean frowned hearing that female voice.The guys had told him he had a girlfriend but he hadn’t spoken to her since the accident.He could remember J had said that she had left the day of Sean’s accident because she was doing a report on the poverty in Brasil for a magazine she was working for,but because nobody knew where she could be reached,she didn’t know about Sean’s accident either.
“Was that Sam?”J suddenly questioned while coming out of the bathroom.
“Yeah,I guess so.She’s coming back tomorrow and asked me to pick her up.”
“Oh God.”J mumbled.He sat down across from Sean and shook his head.”How are you supposed to do that if you can’t even remember her?”
“Can’t you just pick her up and tell her what’s going on?”
“She would kill me for not telling her sooner.No,you just need to go to the airport and do it.”J replied.He really wasn’t planning on risking his life for Sean.Sam had a very bad temper sometimes and J knew that he would get hurt if she found out that the accident had already happened a few weeks ago.
“But how am I supposed to recognize her then?”Sean asked.J stood up and walked out of the room,only to come back a few seconds later with a photo album.
“Here,just watch the photos and nothing can go wrong.”J stated proudly while he handed the pictures over to Sean.Sean sighed deeply and decided that there was nothing else he could do if he wanted to keep his girlfriend…
