When I woke up, I was alone in my room the only thing with me is the hospital apparatus. When I sit up I tried to remember everything or anything, but I only remember the box and nothing else. While figuring out what happened last night, I heard laughter and loud voices shouting outside. I remove the wires around me and take a look who is outside. I look outside and it was my brothers were playing football. I went down in my bed, and I noticed I was wearing a white night dress that looks like old. I went to my bathroom and changed my dress. While I was changing, I felt that I needed to go to somewhere alone to let everything sink in. The lies and the truths that my family have kept through these years is needed to understand deeply rather to be bitter about it.

I felt that I wanted to find myself because when I arrived here I was no longer the Cosset I knew. I was the Cosset Andrews that came out from the grave of secrets. The only solution to this is to choose which side I embrace. The choices I need to choose is to be normal or not. While thinking I remember my clothes in my luggage. The clothes that only reminds me of LA. So I rushed to the luggage with my dress unbutton at my back. I open it and everything is still there. I picked my black jacket, my t-shirt with a cat on it, and my jeans.

When I looked at the mirror, I saw the old Cosset, the simple, boyish girl of LA. I braided my hair like the old times and walked out. When I was going down Angeline was preparing for Lunch. "Hey, welcome back." she said it excitedly. "What day is it?"

"Saturday" she was fixing the plates in the table. "What? I am three days sleeping. Did the school call?" I went to the dining table and stand behind a chair. "Yes they did. I told them that you were sick and you will be coming back soon." After that, I was quiet and looking at her. She was smiling while putting the silverwares. "Mom" I was tapping the chair while thinking what words to use to ask permission. "Mom, I was wondering can I go out somewhere alone. You know fresh air."

She stare at me with a smile. "Sure, tell your father about that. He is in his office." She did not looked at me when she said that. I went to Charlie's office. I knocked three times before he answer. "Come in!" When I opened the door, he was talking to his patient. The two strangers wearing expensive clothes looked at me. "Sorry dad, did I interrupt?" He smiled at me. "Not all, Mr. and Mrs. Singer this is my younger daughter Cosset." I waved at them. "What is it?" Charlie asked me. "Can I go out, going somewhere alone? Away from my crazy siblings?" he laughed. "That's a good news. Go out, make friends or enjoy for a moment Detroit." I hugged him. "He is the best doctor." I told Mr. and Mrs. Singer.

"Riza, why not invite Cosset at Rita's big birthday party, she would love it." I was thinking about Edward because he needs to go out and make friends. "Great idea John. She would be excited."

"Sounds great, can I bring my brother?" dad looked at me with his right eyebrow raised. "I need a companion, I might be lost."

"Who among your brothers" dad asked. "Edward" I smiled. "Much better!" Mrs. Singer exclaimed. "Okay thanks. Also dad do we have motorcycle?"

"Cosset?" he was shocked when I asked that. "Dad, I ride motorcycle along the roads of Los Angeles." The Singers looked confused. "I stayed a couple years with my relatives in LA." their expression started to be lessen. "Ask Felix if he let you borrow it. Good luck with that." I kissed him on the cheeks and walk towards the door. Before I left the room, I peaked in the door. "You look handsome today!" he laughed. I closed the door of the office. When I turned back, Lauren was standing behind me. "Welcome back!" her hands was crossed on her chest. She looked like she went to a party because she was wearing a dress. "Hey, nice dress." I told her.

"Were you going?" I started walking. Lauren was standing still in front of Charlies' office. "Somewhere, also I am going to borrow Felix's motorcycle."
