Rewind into the future

12- I'm here for you

James
I stand there looking at Riley. 'Riley, what's happened.' Riley walks in my front door and lead her to my bedroom, she sat on my bed while I stood up opposite her.

James: Riley, what's happened?

Riley: Y...Y..You...were...right

James: About what?

Riley: Charlie...he...put...pills...in...my...drink

James: Is that all that happened?

Riley: *whisper* No...

James: Did he do this to your face?

Riley: Yes

James: You just hold on Riley, wait until I get hold of him

Riley: No! You can't tell anyone, especially not him...it was my fault

James: How?

Riley: I kept speaking about you, and he didn't like it. He got angry and did this. I ran out of there, didn't know where else to go and didn't want to talk to anyone else but you.

James: How did you know where I lived

Riley: I don't know...I remembered I guess

James: Well Riley, you can't go back to his

Riley: I have no choice

James: How about, you put a film on up here, I will be up in a little while

Riley: Okay

I watched as James left. For some reason I feel really comfortable around James. Eventhough I don't remember him, he still makes me feel safe. I notice a box on top of his wardrobe. I get it doen and go back to the bed. I take the box of and see various different things in there, a note that I wrote, my bracelet, his watch, a diary. I picked up the diary and realise that it is the diary that I am missing, but I can't remember what I wrote in it. I open it up and read page by page. James. This diary is full of James. I notice that it is only half filled so I grab a pen of James' desk and start to write

James
I come back upstairs after having a shower and see Riley on my bed, cheeks damp from crying. She must have cried herself to sleep. I see the box on my bed, with the bracelet and the note that she wrote in there. I see th diary sitting next to Riley with a pen next to it. I open it up and see that she has wrote a new entry

So today hasn't been great. Well with Charlie. Part of me knew James was telling the truth, for some reason I just trust him. I don't know if it's because of me and him were really close. I feel bad for him now. We made a promise to each other and I broke it. I still get this weird feeling in my stomach when I see and talk to James. I haven't told anyone because I'm with Charlie. But I don't want to be anymore. I think I'm in love with James. NO! I know I'm in love with James. Everything about him. He is just perfect. But what am I meant to do about Charlie. I am not stringing him along but he will go mad at me. Like today. It brought back memories. Bad memories. I don't want him in my life anymore. I just want James. My first and only love.

The page was wet with her tears, and a few of mine. I have a chance to get my life back. To get her back but I have to keep Charlie away. I look at Riley, sleeping and see that she is gripping onto my watch. 'I'm here for you Riles, forever and always.
