A/N: so I lied. Lol. Well there is a wrestler mentioned….Review please. I'll try to get the next chap up by tomo. But I'm in a good mood. So maybe tonight.

Disclaimer: I own Riley and Samantha. And nothing else

Riley stirred as she awoke. "Where the hell am I?" She asked herself as she opened her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. She racked her brain for any memory. The last thing she remembered was a tree… A TREE? "Oh fuck" She groaned. She sat up as a nurse came running into what Riley now recognized as a hospital room.

"Ms. Smith please lie down!" The nurse whose nametag said Nancy said.

"Ms. Smith is my mother" Riley replied sharply, but complied and lied back down

"Ok then. Ms…." Nancy trailed off

"Riley." She replied, thinking to herself, that she coulda just checked her chart

"Thank you. Ms.Riley, we are attempting to contact your parents…" Nancy began

"My parents?" Riley laughed to herself as she imagined when the hospital called her parents. That would Probley be when her parents would realize she was gone. "Nurse, trust me, they wont care. Mind telling me whats wrong with me?"

"Ms. I can only tell you if you are 18 or above…"

"My 18th birthday was August 14, which you would know if you checked that pretty little chart hanging at the end of my bed" Riley replied

"Oh….I'm sorry Ms. Riley" Nancy said blushing

"Just Riley please" Riley gave her a little smile

"Well, it's nothing serious, but you do have bruised ribs."

"Can I leave?" Riley asked cutting the nurse short

"Well yes, but your car"

"Whats wrong with my car?" Riley asked quickly.

"Its, well useless"

"Shit…." Riley said as the realization hit her. She was stuck here. Where the hell was here anyway?

"Um, Nurse Nancy…Where am I?" She asked

"You are on the border of Florida and Georgia"

"Florida and Georgia…." Riley thought for a second. "Nurse are you aware, I mean, do you know if my clothes, and belongings are alright?" She asked

"For the most part yes. Everything was brought here, so that we would have some means to identify you. Would you like to look over your belongings?"

"Yes please"

A few minutes passed by, and Nancy returned with several bags filled with Riley's belongings. Riley smiled her thanks and gave a sigh of relief when she saw her money was still there. She quickly got out of bed and slipped into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. Riley sighed as she looked at the phone on the bedside table. Well….there was only one thing she could do.

Before she could change her mind she picked up the phone and dialed her cousin Samantha, the only member of her family she could stand.

"Hello?" Samantha answered the phone

"Sammy. Its Belle." Riley said using the nickname for her middle name, Isabelle

"Belle? Chica! Where are you?" Samantha said quickly ducking into her room

"At the hospital. On the border of Florida and Georgia. Can you come get me?" Riley said hopefully. From the little information the nurse had given her, she knew that her cousin, who lived just a half hour away from the border, could be there relatively quickly

"County General?" Samantha asked knowing that Riley was not gonna answer any questions on the phone.

"Um, is there any other hospital around the border?" Riley asked looking around the room

"No" Samantha said a bit worried now

'Then that's the one." Riley responded "Oh and Sammy? I'm fine. Just bruised ribs"

Samantha breathed a sigh of relief. "Ok, Im on my way"

Riley hung up the phone and sat down. 'I'll get Sammy to drop me off at a hotel, and then I'll figure out how to get my car fixed.' She thought to herself as she rang for the nurse.

Nancy appeared at the door.  "Yes?"

"Could you please get the doctor or whatever. My cousin is on her way to come pick me up."

"The doctor just wants to see you again, or wants someone to see you, in a few weeks. I'll go get the papers you need in order to be released"

"Thank you"

Riley busied herself by cleaning up while she waited for the nurse to return. After a few minutes the nurse returned and Riley signed herself out.

"Thank you" She called as she hurried down the hall to the elevator. The door opened and her cousin appeared.

"Belle!" Sammy said as she grabbed Riley into a hug

"Ugh ribs Sammy" Riley said

"Oh sorry" Samantha quickly released her. "Come on! Let's go!" She said and pulled Riley into the elevator.

As soon as they entered the car Samantha turned to her. "Hungry?"

"Starving"

"Lets go"

"You're buying" Riley said lightly, but was concerned about her money situation

"No duh. So wanna tell me what your doing miles away from home?"

"Home?" Riley laughed. "That was not home…but I decided I would be more successful away from there"

"Belle. No offense, but if you can't make it in New York…."

"You cant make it anywhere" Riley finished. "I was in New York. But I wasn't given an opportunity."

"This is the summer before your freshmen year of college!"

"I'm not going to college" Riley responded as Sammy pulled into a diner.

Samantha pulled the key out of the ignition, and looked at her. "You're not…"

"At least not right now….they wont send me." Riley responded looking at her watch. 11:55 pm. "Are we going in now?"

"Yea" Samantha popped the lock and they climbed out of the car and entered the diner. After they had ordered Samantha asked the single most important question.

"I know you don't have a lot of money right now. What are you gonna do? You have no car. And where are you trying to get too anyway?" Samantha asked

"Your right. I don't have a lot of money" Riley answered playing with the salt shaker. "Im gonna get a job. Doing what? I don't know. And I think…I just want to get off the east coast. Travel a bit I guess"

They paused their conversation as the waitress set down their food.

"Isabelle….What do you want to do? I mean with your life" Samantha asked

"I wanna….write….I always loved my writing." Riley responded putting eggs on her toast

Samantha reached for the syrup and poured a bit on her pancakes. "You are a great writer. Get a job as a journalist."

"Yea but where?" Riley laughed bitterly

Samantha smiled and pointed her fork at the newspaper that had been left at their booth. Riley looked down and sighed. She put down her fork and let her eyes roam over the classifieds.

"Housekeeper?" she asked

"You hate cleaning"

"I never got paid for it"

"Save it for a last resort"

"Yes ma'm"

"Look for journalist"

"Nanny?"

"Isabelle…."

"Sammy there is no openings for a journalist"

"Well take the nanny job" Samantha replied chewing

"Why?"

"You'll get paid for watching the little rugrats also."

"True" Riley responded taking a bite out of her toast and eggs

"Who would you have to work for? And where?"

"Miami. And…..Chris Ivrine."

"Single dad I assume"

"Who knows? Are you gonna take me to Miami?" She asked

"Sure. I could use a road trip."
