Riley's POV:
The next day, the hospital called my dad saying that Maya finally woke up from her coma. All of us cheered and hugged each other.
When we found Maya unconscious
on our door step a few days ago, my dad took her to the hospital and tried getting in contact with her parents. They wouldn't answer their phones nor answer the knocking on their door. So my dad told the hospital that he was her dad. No one knows about what happened to Maya.
We all went to go visit Maya again. While we waited in the waiting room Auggie kept asking questions.
"Daddy did Maya wake up because of the speech I told her? Did she really hear me?" Auggie asks.
"Yeah Aug, she listened to all our speeches."
After a few more minutes the nurse finally called us in. The nurse said we could only go in one at a time, so everyone told me to go in first. I walked down with the nurse to Maya's room.
"Before we go in, can you please try finding out what happened to Maya? She won't tell any of us," the nurse whispers.
"I'll try my best." I say. I knock on Maya's door and she quickly tells me to come in, I walk in carefully. She was laying back in her bed with a bandage around her head.
"Hey Riles." She half smiles.
"Maya, I-I'm so glad you're alright!"
"Me too."
"What happened? I've been so curious and I need to know." I say.
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"Because if I do I'll end up in a foster home!" She blurts out.
"Why would you end up in a foster home? Wait a second... Maya don't tell me."
"Yes ok, my dad beats me. Now go tell everyone and they'll arrest my parents and I'll end up in a foster home and I'll never get to see you again! Go ahead and tell them!" Tears filled her eyes.
"What about your mom?"
"She'll get arrested or something for always coming home drunk and neglecting me."
"What about my family?"
"What about your family?"
"We could take you in."

Maya's POV:
I watched as my parents got arrested. One police officer was behind me, patting my shoulder. The other two officers were trying to get my dad into the car.
"No! I can't go to jail please!" He wailed.
"You sent your daughter into a coma! What did you think would happen to you?" Said the police officer. My mom was already in the cop car, sitting silently.
"Where is the girl gonna live anyway? A foster home? HA!" My dad laughed.
"No, she's got some real nice folks that are taking her in." The police officer shoved him into the car and they drove off.
