Daniels POV:
I wake up in the hospital. Why am I here? Why can't I remember anything? I'm scared. I feel someone rubbing my head. I turn and see a lady. She doesn't look familiar. "Hi, baby." She said. Baby? Who is this lady? I push her arm away from me. I don't know who this is. "Who are you?" I asked weakly. "I'm your mom." She said. I don't remember my mom. I don't remember anything. She tires to hold my hand but I push it away. "NO! Don't touch me." I said. I'm scared. I don't know who she is. "Daniel, I'm your mom." She said. "I DONT KNOW YOU!" I yell. I'm shaking. I don't know why she's here and it's scaring me. Then a man tries to talk to me and tell me he's my father. I yell at him too. Then five boys try to tell me they know me and I yell at them also. Then, I see a girl. She doesn't look like any ordinary girl. She's beautiful. She looks nice and harmless. "Hi." I say to her as I calm down. It's like me and her are the only ones in the room. It's like everyone else disappeared. "Hi. Do you remember me?" She asked. I don't remember her. "No." I said. "Oh." She said. She looked sad. Then the doctor came in and took me for an X-ray. After that, the lady that's 'my mom' gives me clothes to wear and I sit in a wheel chair. A nurse rolls me out into the car. I sit between two boys. I wanted to sit next to the girl but it didn't matter. I felt weird being in a car with strangers. I can't remember anything and I feel so weird.
When we get home, everyone goes into their rooms to go to bed. 'My mom' takes me to a room. "This is your room. This is where you sleep." She said. I look at the bed and sit down on it. It's comfortable. "I'll be in the living room if you need anything and everyone will be in their rooms. Call us if you need anything." She said. I nod as she walks out. I'm exhausted. I lay down on my bed and close my eyes, not even bothering to get under the covers. I fall asleep right away.
I wake up to a noise that sounded like knocking. I open my eyes and see the door to my room opening. It's brighter than when I fell asleep. I see the five boys in the doorway. "Hey, buddy. Did we wake you?" They asked. I didn't say anything. "Can we come in?" They asked walking into my room. I don't know who these people are. "Get out." I said. "We just wanna talk." They said. I throw a pillow at them. "Woah!" One of them said. I continue to throw my pillows and blankets until there's no more. "Woah!" They said dodging them. I don't want them in my room. I'm scared. Then, I see the girl walk into the room. She's so beautiful. She walks towards me. She talks to me and calms me down. "Are you hungry?" She asked. I nod. She puts her hand out intending for me to hold it. I take her hand and we walk past the boys and into the kitchen. Still holding hands, she pours me a bowl of cereal and we sit down. I look at the cereal. I want to eat it but I'm too weak to pick up my arm. She sees me looking at the cereal so she takes a spoon full and feeds me. It's so good. I get a little bit of milk on my face so she wipes it with a napkin. God she's pretty. And she's nice too. When we're done eating, she asked me if I wanted to watch tv with her. I do but I don't want to sit by the boys. They're so buff and strong looking. They might hurt me. "We don't have to sit by the boys." She said. I nod and we get up, still holding hands, and walk to the couch. I sit in the end next to her. "Hey, Riley." One of the boys said. She smiles at them. Her name is Riley? Riley. That's a pretty name. I smile as I watch tv.
A few hours later, it's very dark. Three of the boys are going to bed. "I'm going to bed. Wanna come?" The blonde one asked Riley. "Yeah sure." She said. She stood up off the couch to go with the blonde guy but I don't let go of her hand. I don't want her to go. "I'll come on a second." She said to him. He nods and walks into his room. She turns and looks at me. "Are you tired?" She asked in the sweetest voice ever. I nod. "Okay. Let's go to bed." She said. I feel like I might collapse I'm so tired. Still holding hands, we walk into my room. I sit on the bed and get under the covers. Riley pulls the covers over my arms so they're up to my neck. I'm nice and comfy. "I'll be in the other room, okay?" She said. I don't want her to leave but I can't speak. I'm so tired. I nod and close my eyes. I see the light turn off through my eyelids. I hear her close the door, quietly. I try to stay awake because I don't feel safe here. It's not familiar to me. But my eyelids get heavier and heavier until I fall asleep.
"You can do this, Daniel. Take deep breathes. In. And. Out." My mom said. That's the lady from the hospital that said she was my mom. Maybe she really is. I take deep breathes. "You're gonna do great. We love you." My dad said. That's the guy from the hospital. Maybe he is my dad. I smile. "I love you too." I said as they hand me a microphone. I walk on stage and look out at the crowd. There's a bunch of girls screaming and cheering for ME! It's amazing. I just want to cry. I look at the side of the stage, backstage, and see my parents smiling. They thumbs me up and I smile. "What's up everyone!" I yell into the microphone with my arms in the air. They all scream. I start to sing. Everyone sings along. I stop singing and listen to the crowd. They sound so beautiful. A tear rolls down my face. This is the moment I knew I made it. When everyone knows the words to my songs and can sing it without me. That's how I know. I look at someone in the crowd. They're laying in the ground. Security guards lift her up and take her out if the crowd. She fainted. My heart starts to beat really fast. Is she okay? I run off of stage and check on her. I feel someone saying my name and rubbing my arm. I open my eyes. Riley is sitting on the bed next to me and rubbing my arm. It was a dream. I sit up and give her a big hug. She rubs my back as I cry. "Your okay. Your okay." She said sympathetically. I won't let go of her. I'm shaking. "We're you having a bad dream?" She asked. I nod my head. She rubs my back and I let go of her. I stop crying. She wipes my tears. "It's okay. I'm here." She said. She touches my shoulder and pushes me back a bit intending for me to lay down. I lay down and she pulls the covers over my arms so they're up to my neck. "Get some sleep, okay?" She said. I nod. She gets up off the bed and starts to walk out. I grab her hand and she turns around. "Can you stay with me?" I asked. She smiles. "Sure." She said. She walks over to the bed and gets in with me. She rests her elbow against the pillow and props her head up agains her hand. She rubs my head. I told her all about how I tempered my parents. She asked if I remembered her but I don't. She looks sad but she continues to rub my head. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I wake up to the sunlight in my face. I open my eyes. The sunlight is blinding. I turn and look at Riley. "Riley? Are you awake?" I asked. I touch her arm. She turns and looks at me. She's so beautiful. "Now I am." She said. She looks tired. "I'm sorry." I said. She smiles. "It's okay." She said closing her eyes again. "I have to use the bathroom." I said. "Then use the bathroom." She said with her eyes closed. "I don't know where it is." I said. She opens her eyes. "Okay. Come on." She said tiredly. We get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. She turns in the light for me as we walk into the room. She stands in the doorway as I'm about to pee. I look at her. "Are you gonna close the door?" I asked. "Oh, yeah." She said. She closes the door and I pee.
