Riley's Wild Summer

Chapter Four - Summer Begins

I let my eyes flutter open, unsure of where I was. I looked around the room and noticed where I was-The hospital. I was confused. Why was I here? More importantly, how did I get here.

I looked around the room and noticed 5 pairs of eyes on me. Three pairs widened as they saw mine.

"Hey Riley. How do you feel?" A boy with blue eyes asked. He stood up and came closer too me. I jumped back.

"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" I asked demanding, but startled. A tear dropped from his eye.

"Do you remember me?" A different boy asked. He had green eyes and braces. I shook my head just as the doctor came in.

"Riley, do you remember anything from last week?" The doctor asked demanding. I tried to think back, but I couldn't remember anything. I shook my head and his eyes filled with wordiness. I looked down at the bed. I looked over at the boys, and girl who were looking down. They were all crying. The two boys, the one with green eyes, and the one with blue were crying harder than anyone. I gave a hand gesture to the doctor saying to lean down, which he did.

"Why are they crying?" I whispered my voice full of guilt.

"Well, Riley. Last week they and you were at a lighthouse. One of the boys was messing around with you. He pushed you in, and didn't notice how strong the waves were. It was that boy over there," he pointed to the one with green eyes and braces. He took a deep breath before continuing.

"His name is Kyle, Kyle Brockley. The boy to his left is Jordon Schmitz. The one to his right, is Miles Brockley. The boy to Miles left is Michael Schmitz, that's Jordon's brother. And lastly, that girl is," I interrupted.

"Alexia Webber." I filled in for him. His eyes lit up like I found a cure to cancer.

"Are you starting to remember anything?" He asked full of hope. I shook my head saying no. He gave me a disappointed look.

"All I remember is her name." I sighed. I looked at the ground. The doctor nodded and asked the boys and girl to go into the hall with him, which they did. 

I could hear the doctor. He spoke swiftly and huskily. 

"I'm sorry, but she has Amnesia. Your friend didn't wake up for seven straight days. We couldn't expect her to remember everything. She can be released, but there is no way to get her memory back as of right now." I heard someone start crying harder and breathing heavy.

I saw two familiar faces walk in- my parents.

"Mom! Dad!" I shouted merrily.

"Hi sweetie." My mom cheerfully responded. "We're taking you back to the summer home." She added.

After we drove back I still didn't remember anything. I lied down on my bed and felt so confused, I felt empty.

I walked down-stairs to fine my parents sitting there smiling.

"Hey mom would it be okay if I went to the light house?" I asked. She went in shock, but looked so happy. She quickly nodded her head yes and I grabbed my car keys and phone.

After I drove to the lighthouse in silence I parked and hopped out. It was already dark, but I used the flashlight on my phone to guide me. I finally approached the platform and walked over to a side where there was sharp rocks. I saw a picture of myself on the wall and it said "So glad you are okay Riley!(:" Signed at the bottom were the names Michael, Miles, Kyle, Jordon, and Alexia.

I sat down on the edge and looked down at the sharp, and dangerous rocks. All of the sudden everything came back.
