*^ River's tattoo^*
❀Maeve's POV❀
❀. I wake up with a groan hearing arguing across the hall. I furrow my eye brows while rubbing my eyes.
Shifting my gaze to the clock I check in the time. 4:30am.
I sit there confused on why someone would be up, let alone arguing.
Kicking my feet over the bed I hastily step into my slippers and slowly crack open my door to listen.
It's coming from River's room?
"No mother, I can't do this to her."
I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. Who's 'her'.
"Whatever. Okay. Bye."
In response to the call ending I hear a loud bang against the wall. Fearing River has been injured I hastily knock on the door.
"River? It's me. Are you alright?"
No response.
I knock again and the door swings open revealing a disoriented River.
She's usually so put together, it's odd seeing her this way. Her hair was out of place, most likely from her habit of running her hands through it repeatedly. Her chest was rising and falling quickly, her fist forming a bruise partnered with a cracked knuckle.
I rush to her and grab her hand, "Oh my god River. Are you okay? You need to be more careful."
She shrugs, no emotions displayed on her face. I'm beginning to worry more.
I gently pull her into the bathroom and gesture for her to sit which she does.
I open her cabinet and grab the emergency aid kit that all dorms had.
"This might hurt a bit." I add softly while taking out what I need.
No response.
I hold in the urge to sigh and get on my knees in-front of her, laying her hand flat on her lap.
She was looking at me, her eyelids seemed as if they could barely stay open.
I try to work quickly making sure to be gentle and not hurt her. She didn't react when I cleaned her wound though.
Looking back up at her I noticed the whites of her eyes were tinted red and looked glossy.
Oh. She's high.
"Where'd you get it?"
She looks at me confused, her reactions slow.
"The weed River. Where'd you get it?"
She shrugs at me and begins playing with a strand of my hair near my face.
I focus back to bandaging her hand only to be interrupted by Rivers slightly raspy voice.
"You look pretty on your knees."
I look up at her with wide eyes feeling my face heat up. I swear this girl is going to be the death of me.
She laughs and gets up noticing I've finished.
I roll my eyes up her and clean up the kit. She's been so strange lately? I hope she's okay.

I laugh hard trying my best not to choke on my water.
As River was showing me her tattoos she flashed me.
