Phil: Have you talked to Dan lately?

Gabriela: I wouldn't blame you.
Phil: I'll talk to him about it if you want?
Riley: You can tell him that I'm done with his shit.
Gabriela: Riley...

Phil: Riley?
Gabriela: She's not answering her phone..
Phil: I'll go check on her.
*Phil's POV*
I knocked on the door to Riley's flat and after not getting a response within the first two minutes, I turned the door handle to see that it was open. I walked in and shut it behind me quietly. I walked to her room hesitantly. I knocked on the door lightly.
"Go away," I heard her groan from the other side of the door. I sighed, "Riley. I don't care. I'm coming in." I opened the door and saw her curled up on the bed, face buried in the duvet. She looked up only to reveal red eyes and tear-stained cheeks.
"I said to go away," She mumbled before burying her face in the duvet again. "Riley..." I walked over and sat down beside her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, pulling her close. She let out a muffled sob.
"I thought things could be different. That someone actually liked me for me and wasn't just a one time thing," She rambled. "Dan's an idiot, okay?" She nodded.
"He always said that he really liked you. I don't know why he went off and did what he did. Riley... He hasn't been himself lately. It might be because he needs you," I tried to explain, but she shook her head. "No one needs me," New tears were forming in her eyes. "I need you. Gabi needs you. Your mom needs you. Dan needs you." I tried to tell her. She shook her head, "No. Don't try to make me think differently." I sighed and pulled out my phone, opening up iMessage.
Phil: Gabi, get over here now.
