Riley Knight POV

I'm Riley. I'm 17 years old and I have naturally wavy brown hair just like my Dad. I had my Mom's changing color eyes though which I loved. People always said I was good looking and had a nice body which I thanked them for but I had to work for this. People always thought it was natural but I was naturally bIgger so I had to do a lot of work to get myself like this. Enough about me though. My Mom and Dad were talking on the phone when I walked downstairs. My Dad came back from Texas a few years ago he said that his business could handle with him not there for a little but but he still went there every other month for a week or two. I didn't mind that much because my Mom and I had fun and did girly things when he was gone. Mom was on her way home from work and was going to pick up chinese. Dad and I were watching Doctor Who which is one of my favorite shows just so you guys know. Anyway were waiting when the phone rang. It was from an unknown number. I got up to answer it but when I heard what they said I knew that I should have let Dad get the phone.
Operator- Is this the Knight household?
R- Yes. Who is this?
O- This is the hospital. We need you down here as soon as possible. Mrs.Knight has been hit by a drunk driver. She is in critical care but she might not last long.
R- O-okay we will be right there.
"Riley hunny who was it?" My father asked unaware of all of this.
"Dad we have to go to the hospital."
"What for sweety? Are you okay?"
"Its for Mom. I'm fine." I say as i'm about to cry.
"It's okay hunny she'll br fine." My Dad tries to sooth me but it doesn't work. I know that she won't be okay.
"Dad they said she's dying. She won't be okay."
"Come on lets go make the best of what we have left."
With that we leave the house for the hospital.

Once we get to my mother's room my father and I are crying. Her heart beat is very faint. The doctor soon pulls my father away to talk and I go to talk with my mother. I tell her how much I love her and will miss her and how I know she will always be in my heart and watching over me. I start to cry even more when I have to leave so my father can talk to her. It seems like forever when I can go back in the room. The doctor ended up letting us sleep in the room with her as long as we didn't sleep in her bed.
***
I woke up to a bunch of nurses and the doctor in the room with my mother and a few nurses are pushing my father and I out. My father and I have to sit in the waiting room till the doctor comes out and tells us the thing that nobody ever wants to hear.
"I'm very sorry but we lost her." The doctor says and instantly I start to cry on my father's shoulder.

2 Months Later

"Riley are you all packed up the moving truck should be here any minute."
"Yes, father I just need to get my bag." I yell down.
"Okay hurry up."
"Sir yes sir." I yell down and hear him laugh.
It's the first time I have heard my father laugh since my mother's passing. My father decided that we should move to Texas. Well he decided Texas because the houses are a lot cheeper and then you can a bunch of stuff that you can't here in California. We decided to mive right now because school is on winter break so we can move and get settled before I have to start school again. Incase your wondering I'm a senior in High School or what I call Hell. In my old school I was nothing special but i'm going to change that. new place new school new life or thats what my Dad keeps saying.

In Texas

I slept most of the trip but when we finally got there my father woke me up to see the house. But, house is an understatement it's more a mansion.
"You like it?"
"No, I love it."
"I'm glad. Now you get to go and choose your room."
"Really? Okay I'll go choose the biggest room."
"Whatever just go our stuff should be here in a hour or two so you can look around after."
"Yes sir." I say in a joking way and we both laugh.
I spent nearly an hour and a half going threw the whole mansion and finding my way back around everywhere. I picked the biggest beedroom.

My room was on the 4th floor and it was all the way down the hall. I had a huge walk in closet and my own bathroom. I also and a balcony.

Omce I was done looking through the whole mansion I headed down to the kitchen to see what my dad was cooking. He was making macaroni and cheese my second favorite. Pizza was my first. But we eat and talked about how I had to go to school and how he was going to have some friends stay with us. He said they were going to have guns because there are a bunch of gangs here. He said that he was going to get a gun and I was going to get fighting/self defence lessons. Once we were done eating I wanted to see if I could go explore but we heard a knock at the door.
"Riley get the door it's probably our stuff!" Dad yelled from somewhere.
"Okay!" I yelled back and went to open the door.
When I opened the door I saw three really bug guys. They were all hot. They were all around 6'2ish with a lot of muscles. They were towering over my 5 foot 3 body and were a bit scary.
"May I help you?" I asked nicely.
"Are you Riley?" One of the guys asked curiosity in his voice.
I nodded a yes. Then another guy spoke.
"Is your Dad here?" He asked.
"Yes he is. Do you need him?" I asked and they all nodded.
"I'll go get him. You guys can come in." I said and I headed to my Dad's office which he told me he would be doing his business there. They came in and closed the door.
"Dad! There are people hear that say they need you. There in the living room." I say. His head snaps up when I say this and has this really faked smile on his face.
"Okay. Lets go see what they want." He said and it sounded generally interested.
I followed behind him and when we came in all of the guys stood and turned to my father.
"Hello Max, Mathew, David, Alexader." My father greeted the men.
"Sir." They all greeted my father back.
After an awkward silence my father then told me these were his friends who were going to be staying with us. I nodded and my dad showed them to their rooms. Once they were back one of the guys started talking to me. He said that his name was Mathew but I could call him Matt. We were watching Doctor Who when he said.
"Hey wana play twenty question?"
"Sure you go first." I said after I turned Doctor Who off.
"Okay. Umm.. How old are you?"
"Im fifteen. How old are you?"
"Seventeen. Favorite color?"
"Black. You?"
"Same. Ummm... What does your Dad do?"
"I don't really know but he has an office here. How do you know my Dad?" I asked curious now.
"That will be explained in time. Favorite show?"
"Doctor who."
"Your a Whovian?" He asked me shocked.
"Yes. Are you a Whovian?" I asked because not many people know about us Whovians.
"Duh." He said and we started laughing. But thats when my Dad and the other guys came in talking in whispers about something. Once they saw us they stoped talking and we stopped laughing.
"Matty do you know what they were talking about?" I whispered into Matt's ear because we were sitting next to eachother and I didn't want to be rude and just ask.
"Matty? What kind of nickname is that Riles? And no I was here with you. Plus they tell me minimal details. Only what's important they say." He whispered back.
Thats when my Dad started talking. "Riles can you and Mathew go out or up to your room for a while?"
"Yeah, I'm going to grab my phone then we can go Matty." I said and he nodded his head.
I was walking to the elevator as they were talking to Matt. I couldn't hear what they were saying.
I walked back into the living room.
"You ready to go?" Matt asked and I nodded and we headed out.
