I woke up in a very familiar room. The posters hung on the wall, the bedsheets plain and simple, a laptop in a baby blue case sitting on a white desk, the curtains flapping from the wind, clothes in a pile beside a closet, jackets hung on the door under a sign.

I knew this room. I've known this room for nineteen years. It was once my room.

A room I loved. A room where I spent most of my time reading books. A room where I would invite Jessica to sleep in. A room where many fun events took place.

My room.

I get up from the bed and walk to my mom and dad's room.

This room is all white from the door to the window.

I step inside and see an unfamiliar face. A face I have yet to recognize.

It's not my father.

My father has a bit of hair, with a beard that doesn't hang. He doesn't own a red hot chilli pepper t-shirt because he isn't a huge fan.

This isn't my dad.

"Mom, who's this?" I asked.

She jumped up and put her hand on her heart.

"You scared me, dear." She said.

"Sorry, but who's the guy?" I questioned.

The man sat up and looked at my mom with a confused face.

"This is Giovanni, you know him." She answered.

I looked at her strangely.

I don't know this man and I never have. I would remember him if I had met him before.

"I have no clue who he is," I spoke.

She glanced at the man with a worried expression.

"I think you should go back to sleep honey." The man spoke.

I looked at my mom before diverting my eyes to him.

I didn't know who he was and yet he was calling me honey like I had known him for years.

I decided not to argue, so I closed the door and headed downstairs.

The smell of bacon lingered through the air as I stepped downstairs. I walked towards the kitchen and was surprised to see a young boy making bacon and pancakes.
