Broken Hearted

Chapter 14

Oh look another author's note in the beginning of a chapter.

I HAVEN'T UPDATED OR PUT UP A CHAPTER IN MORE THAN A MONTH. WHAT IS HAPPENINGG.

I started school about a three and half weeks ago and I was planning to post this chapter before school started but I couldn't then I kept putting it off and I FEEL BADDDD.

I was actually surprised that I haven't put a chapter in over month. It hasn't felt like a month to be honest.

I've had a few really stressful weeks at school because of all of the classwork and the homework and the lack of sleep but I got to write a few chapters this week end so I'll try to make time to update them during the week.

I also feel sick. Probably got it from one of my classmates bleh.

Okay enough with all of the explaining and apologizing, you guys probably don't care and just want to read the chapter, I don't blame ya..

ENJOYY

Lucas' POV

I walk down the hallway until I find a door with the letter 'R'. I hold onto the door knob, take a deep breath, and say, "Riles! It's Lucas!" and opened the door to find my princess sitting on the floor with tears streaming down her face, cuts on her arm, drips of blood on the floor, and a knife on the beside her.

"I-I'm sorry.." Riley said quietly.

I closed the door, quickly put down my backpack and bag on the floor, and sat next to her.

"Why Riley?" I asked not making eye contact.

"I just couldn't take it anymore!" she yelled startling me a little.

..I've never heard my princess yell before..

She sighed and said calmly "My life isn't always rainbows and butterflies."

"But I've always know you as.. as a complete ray of sunshine. A person who's smile can light up the whole world."

"Just because a person smiles all the time, doesn't mean that their life is perfect." Riley said without any hesitation.

We sat there in silence for a while and I glanced at her arm which was still bleeding.

"Here, um, I'll help you clean this up." I said putting the tissues and bandaids closer to me.

"Thanks.." she muttered.

She carefully placed her arm on my lap and I examined her arm. She had a total of seven cuts, three were already covered with bandages. I grabbed some tissues and pressed down on the cuts to try to stop the bleeding.

"Ouch!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Am I pressing to hard?"

"No, it's okay, really." she said calmly. "I deserve the pain, anyway.." she said quietly but I heard her. I turn to her but she was looking at the bay window. I turned her head towards me to see tears on her face.

"Please don't cry, princess." I cooed then wiped away her tears with my thumb.

"Why do you call me princess?" Riley asked with a small smile.

"Because you are a princess, from everyone's point of view."

"Thanks, but you'd think I would be treated nicer if I was actually a princess." she said as her smile faded away.

"What do you mean?" I asked getting back to cleaning her scars.

"Promise me you won't turn into Texas Lucas when I tell you."
