Don't know how people who lost a loved one feels, I never lost any except for pets so I hope I can make this sound right.

Petunia waited in the halls of the hospital in distress. She did not know why Handy would ever kill himself, she figured that he was only angry at her. Wait, was she the reason? Did he think that she didn't like him anymore? Lammy stayed with her to keep her calm while they waited but to no avail as she was practically hyperventilating. Sniffles was treating Handy as they waited, Petunia was anxious to see Handy well again, she promised herself that she would spill everyhing that she wanted to say to him. She did not want him to die this way, he deserved better than to kill himself for someone like her.

An hour had passed and Sniffles emerged from the room. "Petunia" called Sniffles, "I-is Handy going to be all right?"

worried Petunia with anxiety.

"Yes, as far as his physical condition is, he will survive." said Sniffles. Petunia was about to breathe a sigh of relief before being interrupted by Sniffles once again. "I'm afraid I have some bad news to go along with it, you see, from what Lammy has told me, you found him alone drowning in his bathtub with his feet bound, am I correct?" asked Sniffles. "Yes, h-he was like that when I got there" replied Petunia.

"Aside from almost drowning, he has developed a case of amnesia with a bit of a headache." informed Sniffles. "W-what?" asked Petunia with wonder. "I asked him how he feels, he told me he was fine. But then he responded with something most amnesiacs would say. He asked me who he was, it appears that the brain damage he had experienced from drowning has caused him this condition. You see, the deprivation of air can cause brain damage thus the individual lost his memories." said Sniffles.

"D-does he remember me?" asked Petunia. _"No, he hasn't mentioned you, in fact, he doesn't remember anything at all. He suffered some trauma and fainted upon realizing that he had no hands, he hasn't woken up since. That's why I want you to help him remember who he is, and keep a close eye on him to prevent him from killing himself once again." _replied Sniffles

This was so much to take in for Petunia, would he remember her? And if so would he remember their relationship and just how much she had used him? She still held some feelings for him but she thought that after ignoring him for some time he would come to hate her. Wait, this could actually fix everything, he probably forgot her and there would be no need for anybody to get hurt right? she asked herself.

"Petunia, Petunia, earth to Petunia do you understand me?" said Sniffles trying to snap her out of her own trance. She hadn't realized that she had spaced out in front of Sniffles. "Ah, yes, sorry I understand." perked Petunia, Sniffles sighed and pulled on her hand, leading her to the room. She was too surprised to object and was already in the room before she met the gaze of Handy's eyes. She stood frozen, would he remember her?

"Handy, I want to reintroduce you to someone you're very close with. This is your girlfriend, Petunia, she was the one who brought you to the hospital." said Sniffles. Petunia was distraught about Sniffles telling this to Handy, would this make him remember why he had tried to commit suicide?

"Hello, nice to meet you but I guess I already met you, heh heh." said Handy with his usual cheery smile. It was a long since she saw him smile, she teared up a bit, she didn't deserve this kindness from him, he should be shouting at her to leave this room. "Oh, uh, was it something I said" worried Handy. "Was I a bad boyfriend? I'm sorry if I did anything to you before." apologized Handy. "N-no it wasn't something you said, you were a very good boyfriend, you were very good..." she trailed off not able to look at him. Even if didn't remember her, the guilt was still there.

"Excuse us for a moment" Sniffles said as he dragged Petunia out of the room. "Petunia, why are you crying? Remember, he tried to commit suicide, so try not to let the atmosphere around him feel sad. And you're his girlfriend, you just might be the one to prevent this from happening again." said Sniffles.

"Y-yes, you're right, but I can't help it. We never even interacted with each other for months, how can I even call myself his girlfriend when I ignored him all this time. I'm probably the reason he tried to kill himself." sobbed Petunia. "Wait, so you're saying that your relationship with him was the cause in the first place, or more specifically, your lack of maintaining it?" inquired Sniffles.

"Yes, I felt guilty, I thought maybe he'd find someone better." said Petunia. "But do you still love him?" asked Sniffles. "Y-yes, but I don't deserve him." said Petunia. Sniffles than reassured her with "Then be someone who you think he deserves" said Sniffles. "Huh?" Petunia said as she lifted her face from her hands. "This is the perfect moment, you both get to repair your relationship, plus, if he remembers anything about your estranged predicament, you'll be there to prevent that and remind him that you actually do love him. Two birds with one stone, simple as that." said Sniffles.

"But what if he hates me?" worried Petunia. "Well then there's nobody else more qualified. You're his most intimate friend he had, his life is resting on your shoulders." said Sniffles. "Wait, what if he died, wouldn't he just remember everything once he dies?" asked Petunia, "Petunia, this is more than just dying. Have you remembered anybody committing suicide?" Sniffles said. Petunia thought for a moment and said "No, nobody ever tried to kill themselves. Wait, what difference would it make? Everyone dies all the time" said Petunia.

"Petunia, this is more serious than you think, we don't know if willfullly killing yourself would make you come back to life again. Everyone here has had a strong will to live, this is the first time someone wanted to die, if that were to happen, he might be an exception to the rules of this town." said Sniffles.

"W-wait, so you mean that he..." Petunia said not waning to continue what she might say. Sniffles nodded and said "Yes, he might die permanently."

This was hard to upload, I might offend anybody who had lost real people in real life and I might just remind them of it through this chapter. I hope that this chapter was good and didn't offend anybody. Also, Happy Tree Friends or the characters belongs to Mondo Media, not me.
