James P.O.V.

Three months... Three months and I have seen any of the Beaton's. Most importantly Riley. No one knows where there went. I looked day and night for her, but whenever I asked anyone of their relatives, they'd refuse to tell me or would have no idea.

I was sitting on one of the benches near the football field. Practice had ended 20 minutes ago and I just thought sitting here would help me clear my mind and relax.

"James... Yo... James..."

I turn around to see who's calling my name. West... West came running towards me with some paper in his hand.

"James, I...I h-have... I m-mean I found..."

"Breathe West... Breathe"

I tell West to slow down since I have no understanding of a word he is saying.

"I found out where Riley is"?

"What"? I'm shocked and happy at the same time. Happy because I'll finally be able to go get my Riley back and shocked since West was the one who found out where she is. But who care, I just need Riley. My Riley.

"Where is she", I ask. "She lives in Miami".Wow I really wouldn't have guessed that. "Are you for real or are you just playing a fucken sick joke? Cause if you are, I'm gonna kil-" "wait a second James, I'm serious I wouldn't joke about such a sensitive topic, especially because I know how much you love her".

It was true. I did love her. I haven't stopped thinking about her since we broke up the first time. I haven't gotten her smile, her sweet laugh and her perfect face out of my mind or heart.

"Wait a second" I turn back around and face West, "how did you find out they're in Miami"?

"Well Stephanie knew where they were the whole time". I can't believe it. Stephanie kept this as a secret this whole time. I asked everyone over and over again but they all said 'they don't know'. "Here's the address to there house", West hands me the paper with the address. I wonder how he even got it.

"Wait a second, how did Stephanie give you the address"?

"I have my ways", West gives me a evil smirk, making me wonder of exactly what he did. But then again it's West.

"Well... What are you waiting for? Get a ticket, pack your bags and go". West is right, I need to go. I need to get Riley back. "Thanks man, your the best".

"I know right? what would the world do without me". I hate to admit it, but he's right. What would we do without West.

Riley's P.O.V.

"Riley, dinners ready", I was sitting near my window watching the cars go by and the kids hanging out and walking by. I miss doing that. I miss hanging out with Michelle, and the rest of the gang. I even miss the moments I had with James. "RILEYYY DINNERS READY". I snap out of my thoughts as I hear Emily calling me from downstairs.

I walk downstairs to find everyone sitting around the dinning table and my mom already eating. She's not the mom I used to know. She's changed, just like that. She never goes without a day of insulting me. That's why I try my best to avoid her as much as possible.

"Sorry... I didn't hear you calling", I apologize while taking a sitting next to Emily and across from my mom. Honestly, I don't even think I should be calling her my mom. "Of course she didn't", I hear my mom mutter something to her self before taking another bite of her pasta.

This dinner was like every other one, quite and awkward. But only when I'm there, sometimes when I'm not hungry or purposely would not eat until everyone was done, I'd hear all three of them talking and laughing, so basically enjoying their dinner without me.

"So Riley, how are your classes going with Margaret", Mr. Beaton asks, while trying to get rid of the awkwardness. Honestly he's been way nicer to me than my own mother. He's always asking if I'm okay and even accompanies me when I have a doctors appointment. "They're going well, Margaret's been helping-" "so Emily isn't the dance this Friday"? That was the way of my mom telling me to shut up. She says as if her words don't hurt me since she's not directly saying it to my face, but she has no idea how much it hurts.

"Umm... How about we let Riley finish talking"? Emily suggests. "I asked you a question Emily", my mom gives Emily a serious look before Em gives a 'I'm sorry' look.

"Yes it is this Friday, and I still need a dress... I was actually wondering if... maybe... Riley could come with me"? Wait did I just hear that? A chance to finally go outside. "No she may not, we can't have her walking around outside and ruin the little amount of reputation we have left".

"Oh and I've found a family who's wanting a child. Once she gives birth to that thing it will be given to them".

What? She can't do that. This child is a part of me now. I've grown to close to it to lose it. Most importantly it's a symbol of mine and James love.

"No", I say while looking down at my plate, but loud enough so that all three of them heard. "Excuse me? What did you just say"? My mom stares at me waiting for an answer and with all the courage I have I look directly back at her. "I said no, I'm keeping the child".

"You most certainly are not. The child is a sin you've created. I won't have it running around this family. It's enough trouble with you here, a child will cause even more".

"No, it's child so it's my decision". I don't know how I am getting the courage to talk back to my mom but I have to. For the sake of my child. "LISTEN UP RILEY. THIS CHILD WILL NOT STAY WITH US. JUST LIKE I SAID, IT WILL RUIN THE LITTLE AMOUNT OF REPUTATION WE HAVE LEFT".

Thats it, all you hear is REPUTATION. Her stupid reputation is the only thing she cares about.

"Seriously? No one even knows I'm pregnant back home. I never leave this house and never speak with anyone you don't want me to. So what reputation loss are you even talking about? I literally can't take it anymore. You've changed mom. You know what? I don't even think I should call you mom. The time I really need my mom, I don't have her. And you know what? You don't need to worry about me or my child ruining your reputation. In fact, I leave you and your family alone once it's born. You'll never have to see us and then you can enjoy your life with your perfect little family... Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my room. Good night Em, dad and Mrs. Beaton.
