Chapter 39

Liz doesn’t have a car so we take Derek's truck. I sit in between Liz and Derek, while Liz drives. I lean my head against his shoulder while he holds my hand. I stare out at the window and remind myself that I can, and should, have some fun. The museum is about twenty minutes from the house. I take this time to get to know more about them. Liz and Derek like the same music that I listen to, except now it is considered oldies. When I start singing along, it shocks everyone, even me because I actually remember the words. I don’t remember a lot of things but I remember these lyrics as easily as I remember how to talk.
