Riley's POV:
Saturday November 22, 1995 9:23 A.M.
It was all just a big blur. The last thing I remember was rolling down a hill after a lightning bolt almost hit Maya and I. I felt like I couldn't move my body and my head was killing me on top of that. When I opened my eyes I realized that I was laying in a hospital bed. I turned my head and I noticed Maya was laying in the bed next to mine. She was still sleeping. I was wondering how we got here. The room was unfamiliar. Riley? Maya said in a shaky voice. Yea Maya. Where are we? How did we get here. Last thing I remember was dragging you and me into and abandoned warehouse Maya said. I'm not sure either Maya. A few minutes later a young girl with bleach blonde hair came in the room. Oh good you girls are awake. How do you two feel? My arm hurts Maya replied and I said that my whole body hurt. The young girl nodded her head and wrote something down on a notepad. Ok then could you two tell me your names. I'm Riley Matthews and that's Maya Hart I said. Ok then now tell me how old you are 13 Maya and I said in unison.
Ok good now tell me what year it is. That's easy 2014 Maya said. The girl gave her a puzzled look. I think you must've hit your head harder than you thought the girl said with a chuckle. What are you talking about? We both said. What is the year then? I asked concerned. 1995 the girl replied. WHAT?! Maya an I both yelled. And um where are we exactly I asked. The Philadelphia children's hospital. Philadelphia? Uh oh! So I was really confused and scared I kept pinching myself hoping I would wake up in my bedroom but it never happened. This is real.
A little while later the lady left so Maya and I could rest some more. Um Maya how did we get here I asked in a concerned tone. I'm not sure myself Riley she replied. Maybe we're just dreaming she said. No Maya we are not dreaming I've been pinching myself for the past half hour and my arm is starting to go numb. Ok then how did we get here? Maya asked. well... I couldn't really think of anything at the moment but then it clicked. I told my parents that they didn't understand what is was like to be a teenager. Maybe when I said that the it triggered me back in time but what about Maya. Why was she here? Did she get in a fight with her mom too. She told me that she didn't but she could have been lying. I didn't want to say anything yet though cause I wasn't exactly sure. So I just pretend I had no idea how it happened. I'm not sure either I said to her. The you girl came back in with some papers in her hand. Hi girls, I have these papers for you 2 to fill out for the hospital since you don't seem to have any guardians she said. Umm ok I replied. Just whenever you guys are feeling up to it start filling them out. Ok Maya and I said. When she left the room I picked up the papers to see what they said. It asked us what our names were, how old we were, what grade we are in, stuff like that. I decided to go ahead and fill the papers out (for me and Maya). When I got to the end of the papers it asked us what school we go to, one of the choices was John Adams High the school my mom, dad, and uncle shawn went to. When I asked Maya what school to pick she said John Adams. I was a little on the fence about picking that school because of the fact that we could change the past and mess up the future and that scared me a lot, but I did what Maya told me and picked the school. About an hour later the girl came back in and took the papers. She then took Maya and into an x-Ray room to see if we broke anything
It turns out Maya's left arm is broken and I broke my knee. We just had simple white casts, nothing special. Ok girls since you don't have any parents or guardians we are going to have to send you to the nearest orphanage the young girl said. Umm ok Maya and I replied. They hospital gave us some clothes to wear since our clothes from 2014 didn't exist yet. Maya was givin a purple t shirt, jeans, and black converse. I was givin almost the same thing as Maya except my converse were pink and my shirt was pink as well. A little while later a bus came to pick Maya and I up so we could go to the orphanage. I was really nervous and scared about what was going to happen. 15 minutes later the bus came to a stop. It stopped in front of a tall building with a big sign on the front "Philadelphia Children's Orphanage". Maya and I walked out of the bus with a few other kids and entered the big building. It was scary to me at least Maya on the other hand didn't seem as frightened for some reason. When we walked inside we sat in the little waiting area until they told us what to do. A few minutes later the young girl with blond hair that Maya and I met at the hospital walked in. Oh hey girls! It's nice to see you two again she said. Um don't you work at the hospital Maya asked her. Well yes sometimes but this is my main job and by the way you can call me grace I'll be your caretaker until someone adopts you. Wait a minute adopt I thought in my brain. I didn't want to be adopted my anyone. I just wanted to go home and see my real parents and my brother. I was starting to worry that I we would never leave here. And what if Maya change the past we could mess up the future and I could possibly not exist. I was scared really scared
All of these thoughts were roaming around in my head while grace took us to our room. The room was really simple and looked nothing like my room back at home. It had bunk bed, a small dresser, a window, and a door to the bathroom. Nothing special at all and the room was almost as big as my parents bathroom. Ok so you two should probably get some rest since its late and you are starting school tomorrow. Hey why did you guys choose John Adams anyways? She asked Maya and I. Umm... My mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything. Thank god Maya stepped in and answered. Because it seemed like an interesting place to go and I've heard some good things about that school Maya said and it seemed really believable. Ok well that's cool, I'll see you guys at breakfast tomorrow. Ok night grace Maya and is said in unison. When grace left I started ranting to Maya. Maya what are we going to do, we can not stay here, like what if someone adopts us, the only parents I want to have right now are Cory and Topanga Matthews ok! What if we never return ho- she cut me off. Riles it's going to be ok we will get home, eventually but for right now let's have fun and see what the past is really like ok. Now let's get some rest we don't want to be tired for our first day of school she exclaimed. Ok I said. It was hard dressing with these stupid crutches and leg brace (another reason I wish I was in the future again). I took the bottom bunk and Maya took the top. I turned out the light and layed against the pillow looking up at the ceiling. I wanted to believe that everything would be alright but I just couldn't. I wanted this terrible nightmare to end, but it was almost starting to feel ever lasting. I was sure about one thing, we wouldn't be leaving here for a while.
Hey everyone this is chapter 4. This is the longest chapter so far. I know that the show started in 1993 but I wanted to go ahead and send riley and Maya to John Adams just because they are thirteen. what do you think of grace? Things will start to get interesting for riley and Maya when thy start to attend school. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and chapter 5 should be out soon and remember to review!
