Riley's POV
I laid around for the first few days of Christmas break. I looked at different photo albums everyday. My mom thought me seeing pictures of my childhood would help me remember. So far it hasn't. I continued to look at them anyway. It made my mom happy, and I hadn't Seeger smile since I woke up. Even then, it only lasted a minute.
On December 23, we went to Philadelphia. It was going to be super awkward. Everyone knew about the accident. Josh was the only one I'd seen since after the coma. I had no idea who anyone was. I looked at the pictures my dad had given me. I heard him telling my mom it was so i wouldn't make a total fool of myself. That feels good. I also heard him on the phone constantly reminding everyone about my accident. Again that feels good!
When we got to Philadelphia I looked around at everybody. There was one person who I didn't have a picture of. He had a beard and wore brown dirty clothes.
"Who is that?" I asked my dad pointing at the strange man.
"That's your uncle Eric," he said. I was suddenly scared.
On Christmas I put on a black letter jacket and stuff like that. People stared at me. I heard a bunch of people mumble, "that is not our Riley!" . My crimped hair went well with my smoky eye. I had become much like Maya. Very rebellious. Its not that I liked it, I just needed a change in my life, wasn't now a good time. For Christmas I got some very bright close flowery clothes. Stuff like I once liked. I just folded it up.
That night I laid awake in the guest room. Normally my parents got that room. I got it this time for many reasons. Staring at the ceiling I thought about the pictures she saw, and the clothes she got. Suddenly I felt something weird. I quickly remembered something. I texted mom to come into the room.
"Mom, I remember something," I said.
"What is it?" Mom asked hopeful. She had no idea.
"I remember Maya and Lucas kissing." I said holding back tears. Suddenly I coo hold them back.
"Oh." Mom said giving me a hug. I never wanted it to end.
