Rileys P.O.V
We talked and laughed the whole car ride home. We got stuck in traffic due to the heavy rain that was falling from the sky.
"What's this big thing you and 'Rachel' have against each other?" He asked as we slowly moved along in the traffic.
I sighed "She has a son, three years older than April and also has a daughter in April's class at school. The day that April, and her daughter, first started school April tried to play with some toy she found on the floor and it was Rachels daughter, Amelia's toy so since then Amelia has been making Aprils life not all that nice. I mean, they're only four so it's not like they can do much to each other. But then there's Amelia's older brother, Tommy. I've been called into the school about five times because he's physically hurt April. He never gets told off because Rachel is a governor for the school and no one wants to jeopardise that" I wiped away my stray tears. He looked at me sympathetically and placed his hand on my knee.
"I-I'm so sorry. I never thought how hard it would've been for you" he looked down at his lap.
"It's just, I didn't have friends at school, I got bullied and I don't want it to be like that for April. She's such an amazing little girl and she deserves the best life, growing up and when she's grown up. You expect to send them into school and have them safe but they're really not. Not in the way that they're in harm of being kidnapped or something like that but being bullied. Children can be realily fucking mean" I sobbed. Nash sat there, speechless. The traffic starting moving faster and we drove home in silence.
A car journey that usually takes me ten minutes has taken half an hour. Fifteen of that half an hour was me slightly sobbing to myself and Nash just staring out the window, watching the traffic speed up.
We got back and parked in the apartment parking lot. Nash got out and I sat there, wiping my tears. He came round to my side and opened the door, exposing me to the cold air and the soft raindrops that were falling. He extended his arm out for me and helped me out the car. He pulled me into a hug, stroking my hair as I started sobbing.
"Come on, I'm gonna do every thing I can to cheer you up" he kisses my forehead, shutting the car door. I locked it and he picked me up, bridal style, causing me to giggle. 'Giggle' more like some weird noise that sounds like a cat dying as I sounded like I had a cold, due to crying.
He ran through the rain, carrying me. When we got into the lobby area he placed a small, soft kiss on my lips then started running up the stairs. I clung onto him, scared that he was gonna drop me.
When we got to the right floor he stopped, putting his hand in the back pocket of my jeans, getting out my keys. He unlocked the door and walked in, still carrying me. Everyone was in the living room, watching TV. They glanced up at us and they all smiled. Cam and Mahogany smirked at me and Nash.
"We're going upstairs" Nash announces, placing me infront of him. He crosses his arms over my chest, resting his chin on my head.
"Don't forget to use pro-" Cameron started but Nash cut him off.
"Cam, the more times you make that joke, the less funny it becomes." I laughed because it's true. Cam rolled his eyes then laughed.
Nash took my hand and pulled me up the stairs, towards my bedroom. I took off my coat and shoes, putting them in my wardrobe. I don't usually wear shoes upstairs.
Cocoa ran into the room and jumped onto the bed, laying on the side next to me. Nash turned around, about to lay next to me but sees Cocoa. He groans and picked up my 'puppy'. He placed her at the end of the bed and laid next to me.
