Riley pov
It had been exactly three years since Maya disappeared, since her grades started falling, since her and Lucas broke up, it had been three years since she lost a piece of herself. She woke up every moment hoping for that emptiness to be filled, but every
morning she woke up and it was still there. It was something she had to live with until Maya somehow came back to her. But would she ever? They were all just kids then, most likely just trying to make themselves feel better. Maybe once someone's gone
there just gone. You'll never see them again.
Riley knew for awhile that her friend, her bestfriend, her sister, was most likely dead. But Riley held on to that little three of hope every day hoping she wasn't. They never found her body, she'd tell herself. She could still be out there somewhere.
Somewhere was Maya Hart, still alive. And until that day, she had to go to school and learn.
The brunette girl waited for everyone else to come to her house, she waited for her friends. Who have never been the same since that day to come and meet her. She was waiting and waiting and waiting. Riley always seemed to be waiting. She was waiting
for her friends, she was waiting for Maya, she was waiting for someone to knock on there door and say 'hi my name is Maya Hart'. Waiting was one of the worst words in the dictionary.
Knock, knock, knock.
Riley jumped at the sound of the door.
Topanga pov
They had never been the same since she left. Look at me. Topanga thought. I can't even say Maya any more. The group of five were once this close force field that no one could hit. But once Maya left, they all kind of went on there own individual
path. They still hung out, Topanga saw them every day, but there was no amazing connection. There was no, there was no. Topanga was at a loss of words, that usually happened when she thought about Maya.
Three simple knocks was all it took to make Riley jump, Topanga giggles to herself about her goofy daughter, ther person she loves.
"Mom I'll answer that" Nine year old Auggie Matthews says as he heads torwards the door. He was turning into quite a good man, people would always say. Auggie smiled at the police officer that was at the door
"I'm sorry sir, I think you have the wrong house" Auggie tells the man. The little boy was shutting the door when her heard the words
"This is about a person named Maya...Uuhhhh"

"Penolope Hart" he finishes the name.
"Exactly" the police officer says. Riley falls off of the table scrambles up and runs to the door, almost closing it as she stops.
Riley's heart was beating out of her chest, 'what if they found her body? Then we can give her a proper goodbye'
"What about her?" Riley tried to stop the shakiness that was obviously in her voice right now
"Well we found her roaming the streets of Oregon, she's lost her memory, but seemed to remember this adress" The police officer smiles as Riley cries and talks
"She's alive?"
The man in the door nods. Auggie couldn'tbelieve it. The girl who grew up with him, who disappeared out of nowhere, is now back?
"Mmmmmmoooooooommmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy" Auggie yells as tears start running from his cheeks. Topanga was already next to him hugging him tightly.
"When can we see her officer?" Topanga asks, Auggie watches as a blonde girl walk over. The nine year runs to her and hugs her tight. This was her, it had to be.
"Maya" Auggie whispers
"Hello. Who are you?" She asks hugging him tightly.
