The Puzzle Of Jiley

Safe and Sound

The doctor walked into the waiting room and everyone quickly snapped up anxiously waiting for the doctor to say something.
"He's definitely okay. West has had some brain surgery but is totally back to normal but he is on medication so he's been sleeping for a few hours. He'll be released late tomorrow because we'd like him to take it easy. He did need stitched in his chin and he's pretty scratched up. You won't recognize him at first but he's perfectly fine. I promise." We all took a deep breathe and hugged each other.
"Wait, excuse me, what about Giselle?" Miss Kate asked with her voice shaky.
The doctor flipped through his clipboard with pages on it. Then he raised an eyebrow as he looked at all of us.
"It seems we don't have a file." He said and we all gasped. My heart dropped.
"I will go look for her in our papers." He said turning to Miss Kate.
"Please." Miss Kate said hopelessly. I squeezed James's hand and then stood up to go sit beside Eldon.
"Riley!" He said standing up and hugging me. I sat down beside him.
"What have you been up to?" He asked.
"Nothing actually." I said in a boring way.
"I feel you." He said and I pushed through a smile.
"I'm so worried for Giselle and I want to see West." I said pouting. He put a hand on my knee to reassure me everything was fine.
"Thanks," I said and he took his hand off because James was probably eyeing him but we were nothing more than friends.
"How're you and James," he asked.
"We've been through bumps but, I love him." I said and looked back at James. He was on his phone.
"Ah, you guys are a good couple," he said smiling at me.
"What about you? Who are you aiming for?" I asked looking around.
"I'm trying to become friends with Michelle again and it's going well. I'm proud for West to get Emily. They're cute." He said and he was happy with where he was in his relationships.
"See you," I told him and pat his back and then I got up and went to the bathroom. As I sat back down in the waiting room the doctor was behind me.
"Giselle is in stable condition, just still in shock. She's very sensitive right now to bright things and loud noise. You can visit her but we have to make sure she's awake and there's only two people aloud at once. Thank you," the doctor said and then walked away. We all breathed a sigh of relief. She was fine.

1 month later

"I love you Riley." It was James and we had just woke up. His arms were wrapped tightly around me. He kissed down the back of my neck slowly and then I giggled when he made a smooch sound. I pulled away from his arms and rolled on top of him.
"You're crushing me." James said sarcastically and we both laughed. I kissed the tip of his nose and then got up. It was if I've known James forever. That's what our relationship felt like. I picked out some comfy clothes and changed right in front of James not even caring if he was looking. To be honest, I was so tired for no reason.
"Babe, do you want something to eat?" He asked standing up and stretching. I walked over and gave him a hug and looked up at him. He kissed my forehead.
"You're tired," he said moving my hair away from my face. I agreed and rubbed my eyes.
"I'll get you some food. Get some more sleep," he said and tucked me back into my bed.
I woke up in a different room and I panicked.
"James!" I yelled. I looked around and realized I was in James's basement.
"James!" I yelled again. A familiar voice trailed after mine.
"Riley?" It asked. I opened my eyes wider to see James's mom. I thought she was away. I was so confused.
"What's happening?" I asked in a panic. She took my hand and squeezed it.
"Riley, you were so sick after James put you back to bed this morning. He brought you over here. He went out to buy some medicine, and it turns out I got an earlier flight back. I was supposed to come home next weekend." She said. I had remembered nothing. Just the sweet hug and kisses I had gave him earlier in the morning.
"What do you mean sick?" I asked her, feeling fine.
"You had such a fever and was sweating like fire. James was worried sick and you also were hallucinating. You probably don't remember though sweetie." She said and I tried so hard to remember but I didn't remember anything.
"Okay, thank so much. I'm going to go upstairs," I said giving her a quick hug and going upstairs.
"Riley!" A voice scared me as I was just getting settled in on the couch in the living room. I was so comforted to hear James.
"I brought medicine. You finally woke up." He said excited.
"Yeah, I don't remember anything," I said rubbing my temples.
"You seem fine now," James said feeling my forehead for a temperature. Then he gently kissed me on my cheek.
"Do you remember what's going on next week?" James said grabbing my hands and laying down beside me on his couch.
"Um...nope." I said giggling because I had no idea what was going on.
"The Dance Move? Birthday present? Hello?" James said pretending to knock on my head and I laughed.
"Oh yeah, I'm so excited!" I said kissing James's chin.
"Miss Kate gave us room partners and I switched some things around to be with you, I hope that's okay." He said and I agreed.
"Yeah that's totally fine-" I said but was interrupted by the doorbell.
"Got it!" James yelled to his mom who was still downstairs. He went to the door and I could see him from the couch.

"James!"

"Beth?" I asked.
