*Derek's POV*

I was still stunned walking home from when River screamed at me then ran off. People thought I was molesting her... What the heck happened? I crossed my arms and tried to think of good reasons why River did that for the rest of the way home. I stepped up to the front door and unlocked it, I stepped in the door and shut it tightly behind me. I heard a clang of pots in the kitchen and I smiled.

"Hey mom! I'm home!" I yelled toward the kitchen. There was a slight pause but my mom answered.

"Hey, you're home early?"

I nervously laughed and walked into the kitchen "Ya...uhm...it was early...release day."

"On a tuesday?"

"I-uh-"

"Oh well. Schools these days." My mom shrugged her shoulders and went hunting for the spices she needed in the cabinet. My mom is so gullible sometimes. I dropped my bag and ran up the stairs and into my room.

I jumped onto my bed and layed back, then grabbed the remote and turned the tv on. I quickly flipped through the channels; iCarly, Spongebob, CSI, Charlie's Angels, Another Earth, Jersey Shore, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Basketball, Soccer, Oo! Football. I rested my head on my hands and watched the Packers play the Giants. Its to bad that our home team, the Gators aren't playing tonight. I watch the rest of the game then switch off the TV when I hear my phone ringing, I snatch my phone then see the caller I.D. is Chad, I swipe my finger to the right to answer.

"Hey."

"Sup, Derek. Where we you in 5th period?"

"Oh, me and River skipped."

"Who?"

"The new girl."

"Oooohhhhh, her. Ha, you guys had some fun at her house, I bet ya."

"Nah, I kissed her and then she ditched me."

"Ha!! Have I taught you nothing? Don't go for the nervous girls, go for the shy ones and sluts."

"I'll just pick a new girl tomorrow. I really liked River though..."

"Be a man! Anyways I gotta go, Derek. Moms being a bitch"

I hung up the phone and went downstairs, where mom was making dinner. I checked my watch, it was already 5 p.m. that was fast. My mom looked up from the stove.

"Hey hunny. Dinner is almost ready."

"Alright, thanks.'

I set the table for me, Mom, Dad, and my little sister Erika. Erika should be home any second now, her gymnastics practice was over by now, just then my 12-year old sister walked in. Perfect timing, the little brat. Erika's dark brown hair was put into a tight pony tail. Maybe I should explain my sister a little more, she has dark, dark brown hair with turqouise colored tips, she just got her hair done last week. She has freckles dotting her cheeks and crossing over on the nose to the other cheek and she has dark green eyes, she looks a lot like Dad, I look a lot like Mom, Me and Mom have the lighter features, light brown hair, hazel eyes, and flawless skin. Except I have tan skin. Erika and Dad have dark brown hair that is close to black, dark green eyes, the color of moss, and freckled skin. I looked up to see Dad following Erika inside, he must have driven her home today instead of the gym's van.

Mom put the chicken and vegetables in the middle of the plate and told us to help ourselves, we all quickly dug in. I dived for a big piece of white chicken but Erika stabbed her fork into the poor piece of meat before I could get it.

"Hey! You little brat! I was getting that!" I scowled at her and I was about to grab her ugly ponytail and rip it from her head.

Erika stuck her tongue out at me and put the piece of chicken on her plate. "Well, I got it first."

"Well, I'm taking it back." My fork was stabbed into the chicken too and I began to pull my chicken back. But the devil kept a firm grip on the fork. While me and my lovely sister were fighting over the chicken, Our parents were talking about their day. What the fuck? Shouldn't you guys be telling us to behave? I looked up to see that I was winning the meat brawl, but Erika wasn't giving up so easily. She silently lifted up her leg under the table and kicked me in then nuts.

*River's POV*

I was finishing up cleaning my bloody arm when I hear my mom knock on the door.

"Hunny? Are you ok? Did you take your pills during lunch, because there is a trail of blood drops coming from your room!" My mom asked, worriedly

"Ya I did mom. I just cut myself on a nail accidentally."

"I'll help you fix it if you want."

"It's fine. I got it, love you."

"Love you too sweetie."

I heard her heels clack away and I sighed. She must not know, she will send you to the insane asylum again! No one must know, Trust no one. Not even Derek... Great, the voices were acting up again.

"Shut up you guys" I muttered into my head.

I wrapped gause around my forearm and stalked back into my room. I notice that a little white slip is sticking out of my backpack and I run over to it. It's from Derek

Call me

954-352-5218

~Derek

(I just typed random numbers so don't you stalker readers be thinking its mine, I don't want some poor old lady being harrassed)

I quickly punched the letters into my phone and pressed call.

Drrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnngggg, Drrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggg, Drrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnggggg

"Hello?" Derek's voice sounded like he was in pain because his voice was squeaky and high.

"Hey, um, Derek. It's River."

"Hey, River" His voice was back to normal now

I heard his mom yell at him to switch off his phone but he obviously ignored her "Sorry, about today. I was just a little freaked out." I asked, with a little hope that he will forgive me."

"Nah, its fine. Hey listen I gotta go, I'm having dinner."

That little bitch mom of his. Getting in between me and Derek's undying love for each other! My eye twitched a little and I clenched my fists so hard that my knuckles turned white.

"Oh its ok... Call me later, k?" I mumbled quietly into the phone, trying to keep myself from screaming

"K" Then he hung up the phone.

Alright next person to get between my and Derek gets it.
