Riley's POV:
It's been almost 2 weeks since i was in the hospital and since i found out my parent's where getting a divorce. Dad has moved out to a massive penthouse suit on floor 91 of the fancy hotel he own's. And i haven't gone there once. James and i are doing okay, we arent back together yet but his really helped me the last few weeks and his doing everything he can to help me gain my trust back in him, he even got his liscense.
I go downstairs and take a seat the tall stool's in the kitchen.
"Riley sweetie, you have to go stay at your dad's tonight." mum tells me.
"It isn't bad there, room service, a jacquizi, a sauna, a spa, its amazing." em tells me.
Emily has been staying there alot, almost every second night but i haven't stayed or been there once as it wasn't home. Home is here.
"I dont want to." i mumble.
"Tomorrow is sunday ri we can go to the unlimited breakfast buffet near the golf course." em tells me cheerfully.
"I dont want to." i yell sternly.
The doorbell rings and i take this as an opportunity to get up and avoid this conversation.
James's POV:
Since getting my liscense, the day after Riley's injury. Riley has trusted me every day the past 2 weeks to drive her around. So i was going to pick her up and take her to dance. We aren't together yet, but we're getting there. I knock on the door and riley opens it, shutting the door behind me as we stand on the front porch. She looks like she's about to cry.
"Am i not aloud in?" i ask riley.
"Why do i have to go?" riley asks.
I had no idea what she was talking about, but it probably had something to do with her dad.
"Whats wrong riles?" i question.
"Mum's making me go to dad's tonight, you know my second home where we've visited my dad a couple times.The big fancing hotel with all the perks" Riley spoke.
Emily raved about the hotel, and every second night she stayed there but riley hasnt been once since the divorce was issued. It didnt feel like home to Riley and i knew what she meant.
"I can drive you after dance?" i offer.
"Can you please?" Riley pleads.
"Of course Riles." i say pulling her into a tight hug.
We go inside and upstairs and i notice her small carry like mint suitcase with a pastel floral design on it, placed on the ground in her room without anything in it.
"No clothing hey riles?" i joked.
"I dont need to pack when im not going." riley states.
"I'll help you pack and help you get settled in tonight okay?" i offer.
"Okay." riley mumbles.
We go through her clothes and pack a few things, as riley pack's her cosmetics up into her pastel purple bag cosmetic bag with white stripes on it. I notice one of my hoodies hanging up near a dress in her walk in cupboard so i get up and grab it and fold it neatly ontop.
"In case you get cold." i tell riley.
"In case i miss you?" riley joked.
"Or that." i tell her cheekily.
"Thanks. I'll cuddle it later." she mumbles.
I give her a tight squeeze before i get up.
"Suitcase check, back pack check, dance bag check, handsome boyfriend check..' she paused.
She ran to her freshly made bed and grabbed the big brown bear i won for her at the fair one day called "Mr Charlie" we called him "Mr C" these days and she hugs him. I noticed she called me boyfriend, after nearly 8 long weeks since our break up it made me smile emensily but i'll ask her about it later as i dont want to upset her.
Riley's POV:
I called James boyfriend without even thinking, but he didn't look phased by it and he didnt question it so i just let it be.
"Okay you got everything?" James asks me.
I ran over my checklist in my head again, dance bag, back pack and suitcase for dad's, Mr C for comfort, and my baby boy i mean James to drive me. I have everything.
"I've got everything." i tell him.
"Alright" he tells me.
He slings my pink dance bag on his shoulder and he holds the silver and mint colour handle to my suitcase in his left hand. I have my backpack on my back and Mr C in my hands along with my mobile phone.
I shut my bedroom door behind me and we go downstairs, mum and emily both looking shocked.
"Moving out?" em questions.
"Yeah going to live with Jay." i joked.
He laughed, so did Mum.
"I take it you're going to your fathers tonight." mum questions.
"Yeah james is going to drive me after dance, so i'll leave my suitcase and back pack in his car." i tell mum.
"And mr C too?" em laughs.
"Oh yeah Mr C will stay in the car." i laugh.
"Good we dont want you carrying your bear around the studio." em tells me. We laugh and i go and give my mum the biggest hug ever.
"Love you mum, i'll text you on your break tonight." i tell mum as i hug her.
"I love you sweetie, be good for your dad and make sure you buy James dinner later on for taking you to dads." Mum reminds me.
"Im sure i can pay him back somehow, hey James?" i smirk.
"Im sure you can." James laughs.
"Ew. Please dont kiss at dads, i'll be there." em tells us.
"You should get going kids before traffic is bad." mum tells us.
I let go of mum as i grab ahold of Mr C with both hands as i nodd.
"See you two at the studio." em tells us.
"Yes you will.' james spoke.
"Bye." James spoke.
"Bye mum. I love you." i call out.
"I love you too. Bye kids." mum calls out.
We go to the studio and prepare for the day, James having to work on his solo with the boys.
