~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tears fell faster down my face, hands shaking. The razor was still on my wrist, waiting for its take off. I scrunched my face, sliding the razor across my wrist. I open my eyes, seeing the blood drip down. Suddenly, I felt more relieved, I placed my razor back to its position ready for another slice.
That was when I heard my name being called from the hallway. I was still sitting in the bathroom stall, blood almost falling onto the floor. Luckily, I had quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped it off.
*Maya's POV*
It's been 30 minutes since Riley ran off, half of lunch and I couldn't take it anymore. I'm too worried to what might happen to her, so there was only one way.
"Marcus!" I run up to him, slightly stressed from worrying.
He gives me a glare, I don't even know why.
"What." He said quite coldly.
"Riley is nowhere to be found, and this is all your fault!" I point my fingers on him.
"How is it my fault?" He asks, rolling his eyes.
"Nevermind about that, can you just find her??" I plead, softening my voice.
"Fine." He lets go of Christine's arms, and head out of the cafeteria.
*Marcus' POV*
What did Maya even mean when it was all my fault?
Has Riley ever- No, it can't be. I've seen those marks before. Ones on her wrist, she scratched them whenever she was nervous or...
Sad.
Crap, I was supposed to be one of her best friends. And I was never really there for her anymore. But, Christine is my girlfriend now, she wants me to not talk to her anymore. I'll break her, but my girlfriend seems to not care.
I walk past a couple of hallways, yelling out for Riley.
"Riley!! Where are you?" I yell.
A bathroom door opened, I never knew that was even there before.
Her eyes puffy and red, you could still see the tear stains from when she was crying. Her sleeves were rolled back down and she was holding her wrist. She looked down ashamed from what she did.
"Uhm, hey. Congrats to you and Christine." She says quietly, referring to when Christine became my girlfriend.
"Thanks but, I should be worrying about you today." I say.
*Riley's POV*
I give out a fake chuckle, "There's nothing to worry about." I wave off.
I lower the sleeves of my sweater down more, hoping he won't notice. But, I was wrong. His eyes traveled down to the slightly soaked through sleeves and picked it up.
"Riley... Why?" He says, his eyes full of worry.
I don't say anything, staring at the ground.
The bell finally rings, leaving both of us in this awkward silence. I finally break the tension saying a quick "bye" and head off to class.
-After Class-
The last class rolled by quite smoothly, nobody knew what happened to me. Except for Maya of course.
"Riley, can I at least see your wrist. I won't tell anybody" She whines, toying with the sleeve.
I give a quiet sigh, rolling up the sleeve and looking down. We sat next to each other, so the teacher never really noticed.
A tear falls down her face, and I knew she was disappointed. A quiet sniff came out from the both of us, not realizing what we did.
"After school, we are getting a ton of ice cream and movies, you need this babe." She finally says.
She gives me a smile and I genuinely smile back.
"You know, you always know what I need." I whisper.
"Duh, I'm your best friend." She says quite sassily.
*Marcus' POV*
"Why were you with Riley, I thought you promised you would never talk to her again babe." Christine whines.
"She was sad, I needed to comfort her." I say.
We were in class together, luckily neither Maya or Riley were in this class. After that awkward conversation with Riley, I needed to give her space. I also needed to tell her we were done being friends. It was such a douchey move but, it was for Christine. She was my girlfriend now, I needed this.
"Ugh, do you like her or something? Stop talking to her." She says walking away.
How am I going to do this.
