We took the elevator downstairs to the main lobby. Once we got to the cafeteria I inhaled the wonderful aroma of food. My stomach growled in response. I looked around in awe, grabbed a tray and went at it. I grabbed a cheeseburger, fries, cheesecake, soup, some noodle things, basically everything.
I sat down with my family and just pigged out. Food flying everywhere, not literally, napkins crumpled up, empty plates, and a messy, yet satisfied, sixteen year old girl. I went for seconds and got even more food than the last time. No one said anything, just a few looks. "Are you ready to go home, Taylor?" My dad looked at me and said. "Ummm, I guess." "You're sister will be happy to see you." "My what?" I said with food hanging out of my mouth. "Christina, you're little sister. She is twelve." I nodded my head like I understood. Ugh, so much to re-learn. On the bright side, I recovered a heck of a lot quicker than anyone from a coma.
"We already put your things in the car and we should be home by midnight." He replied. "What time is it? Better yet what day is it?" He laughed but I was being dead serious. I'm completely lost. "It's May, 15. And the current time is 9:43 p.m." I nodded once again. Ugh. I'd rather be in the other world.
We sat and chatted for about another hour, reviewing some things that had happened and things I forgot. I have an iguana named Snuffleapagus, and a cat Knox. I have only one sibling, and I have dated Zach for a year. I was also a junior on high school. That's all I remembered because I zoned out on most of it. We eventually got in the car and headed on our way home. Zach was in the back of the S.U.V. with me and there was music playing softly in the speakers. "I can bite my tongue.... I can stay awake for days if that's what you want.... Cause I'm only human." I caught bits and pieces of it and fell asleep on Zach's chest.
I must've been asleep for a while bit I heard a buzzing sound and opened my eyes barely and saw Zach's phone. He was texting someone with saved as "My Girl". I felt so upset. I was pretty sure I wasn't texting him, but I mean I was gone for a month.... I just let myself be consumed with thoughts and drifted off to sleep again, but this time I feel asleep on the car door instead of Zach's chest.
