James POV

When I got home from a school last night I spent a lot of time thinking, what have I gotten myself into? But today I'm determined to talk to Riley and explain what happened.

When it's lunch I go to my locker and out my books away. As in walking to the cafeteria I spot Riley.

"Come with me." Is all I say and pull her by the arm to the cafeteria.

"What do you want James!?" She sighs.

"I'm here to explain, just listen."

"Okay...."

"So, I was grabbing my stuff and heading out the door when I spotted Amanda, I decided to wait by her because I didn't know anyone else. She was telling me about Vancouver, and then you came out. When she saw you she kissed me long enough for you to be upset and run away. I didn't kiss back I promise. After she did that I scowled at her and haven't talked to her since."

"I guess I believe you..." She says.

"Thank you!"

"Just promise you'll stay away from Amanda?"

"I promise."

Riley's POV

When I get home I see my mom and dads car so I know they will both want to talk to me. I step in the door and drop my bag in my room and then head downstairs.

"Riley can we talk to you for a second?" My mom asks.

"Sure..." I respond nervously.

"Me and your dad thought about the whole moving thug and he got the job... And the good news is that I'll stay here until you finish school." My mom starts to cry.

"You would do that for me?"

"Yes, we would do anything for you." My mom says through tears. I get up and give her a hug. I can't believe they would do that for me.
