Railway Tracks

Ch.5 Why?

Riker's POV

I pick up the razor and slide it across my wrist. I did not feel much pain. I am used to it. I did it again and again and again until i had about 7 cuts on each wrist. I dried the blood and just slept. I slept for about 3 hours.

Savannah's POV

Today started off like crap! I broke up with my boyfriend cause he was being a real d!ck to me, he beat up Riker and he ran home. And now i dont know where he his and he is not answering my texts. I finally had enough and ran to Riker's house. I opened the door and walked up to Riker's room. I found him sleeping in his bed with his arms out of the covers and saw something that i didnt want to see. Cuts....."Riker? Wake up i need to talk to you." I said softly. He woke up scared. "Savannah! Why are you here?" I said with his cute sleepy voice. "I wanted to talk to you and check up on how you are doing." I answered. "Oh well i am alright." "No your not Riker. I can see your arms." Than there was silence. About 30 seconds later i spoke up. "Why? Why did you do it Riker?" "Because no one think of me as a person. They all think i am the emo freak with the poor dead parents! No one likes me!! I am a useless freak!!!" Than he started to cry into his hands. I sat down beside him. "No you are not! So many people care about you!" "Like who? Name some one who would give a shit about me!" " I do Riker! In fact....i..i love you!"
