It's Me Or Him.

chapter 1

I was only three years old when i met my best friend Riley , he was a year older than me, but that doesn't matter. His parents moved in next door to mine, and mine and his bedroom was always facing each other.

Me and him went to the same primary and high school, now we are about to be going to the same college as each other.

I've always been obsessed with being an artist and Riley has been obsessed with being a photographer, so when we decided what courses we wanted to do in college, we found out ours tie together. It made me happy that i will be able to work with Riley in college.

Riley has short fluffy brown hair, with brown eyes, he has freckles and has glasses which he never wears. He is just over 5'9 to be exact. He is a skater boy so me mainly wears jeans, hoodies or flannel shirts.

On the other hand, I have long black hair, dark green eyes, freckles that arent't as noticeable as Riley 's. I also have glasses that I wear sometimes. I only wore baggy jeans, hoodies, and skirts.

Sitting on my bed with my note pad in my hand, there was a slight knock on my window, i got off my bed and waltzed over to it to see Riley there with a bag of snacks in one of his hands.

"why hello there Olivia, will you join me tonight and watch movies with me?" Riley asked.

Nodding my head in response, he told me to pack a bag for the night and let my parents know. Quickly going downstairs I told mum I was going to be at Riley's tonight. Once she agreed, I ran back upstairs and started to pack a bag to stay his for the night.

Once I finished I heard my drunken dad enter the house, quickly I ran over to my door and locked it. Putting my phone and charger in my bag, I went over to my window, opening it widely and knocking Rileys 's window. He opened his window and I climbed through the window.

"Why hello there liv, welcome back," he greeted me.

"Hey Riley ." I replied.

"So what does dearly liv want to watch on this amazing night."

"How about we watch twilight, the whole lot," I replied while smirking at him.

"Really that lovey dovey movie? Your crazy," he replied.

"Hey i only watch it because of Jacob." I responded.

"Really that werewolf?" He questions while raising an eyebrow.

"Of course ry ry, he has everything that fits my type."

He raised his eyebrow up again.

"You have a type?" He said full of shock.

"Yes but I'm not saying my type." I said while getting comfy on Riley's bed.

Now thinking about it, I've never had a type. Forget that I've never had a lover at all.

Just as Riley sat down on the bed, there was a knock at the door, which was his parents.

"riley - oh hello there Olivia it's nice to see you again." They said whilst entering the room.

I waved my hand in return while giving them a small.

They continued talking to riley about the fact he would be home alone tomorrow since they are at work for the whole day.

Once they left the room, riley picked up the remote and started to press play on twilight. He let out a sigh as he sat right next to me on the bed.

After a good three hours I started to feel tired, so did riley . We decided to call it a night and remove everything off the bed and going to sleep.

The next morning I woke up to a pair of hands wrapped around my waist, looking around I realized it was Riley practically cuddling me whilst sleeping. Letting out a quick smile, I slowly escaped his arms and made my way downstairs with my phone in my hand.

I sat on the sofa for a bit before deciding to message my mum.

Me: hey mum, how is everything at home.

Mum: everything is alright sweetie, it's safe for you to come back, your father has went out.

Me: okay I'll come home now

Quickly making my way upstairs and back into riley's room, I see him just waking up.

"Good morning," I said while leaning up the wall.

"How long have you been awake for?"

"Ten minutes."

He nodded his head in response.

"I'm going to have to go soon, mother messaged me to say it's safe to come home. He has left the house for the day" I told him.

"Alright, make sure your safe when he is home. Also before you go, show me the cut on you side."

Lifting up my oversized shirt abit, I revealed the deep cut on my side that my dad had done to me. This happened last weekend when he was drunk and I was downstairs while he was home. He picked up a piece of smash beer bottle and stabbed me in my side.

I was in complete agony when this was done, so I went upstairs and knocked onto riley 's window. When he saw the blood all over me, he climbed into my room and helped bandage it up and clean all the blood.

It kept bleeding and said I had to be taken to hospital for stitches. Obviously his parents didn't know about my family issues that was happening and I didn't want them to know so I told them that a mirror smashed and cut me.

They didn't question it and took me to the hospital for stitches. Riley stayed by side the whole time I was in hospital and when I got home he made me stay the night at his so he could take care of me.

The next day when my father was out, Riley came to my house and spoke to my mum about my injury. They decided to put a plan in place to save me from him. Every night whilst he was drunk. I will lock myself in my room and either, sleep at Riley's house or he will stay at mine with me. My mum agreed to is since she knew I would be safe with riley.

"It's doing better," Riley said whilst snapping me out of my thoughts.

Pulling my shirt down I went over and grabbed my bag, "i guess I should go back home and talk to my mum before he comes back."

"Alright, text me when he is home and I'll come over"

Nodding my head in response, I climbed back into my window and put my bag down at the end of my bed. Then I went over to my wardrobe and grabbed a pair of leggings out and a hoodie of Riley's and took them into the bathroom with me.

Once I entered the bathroom connected to my room, I took a quick shower and slipped my clean clothes back on. Then headed downstairs to spend time with my mum.
