Liv's friends are still here. It's like 8:45pm, right now. I don't mind. Riley's sitting with us, drawing.
Mike looks annoyed, I honestly don't wanna talk to him until he's calmed down, just in case he snaps.
Calum's making spaghetti for us.
Luke's tuning his guitar.
I am basically narrating in my mind what we're all doing.
Riley started smirking.
"What did you draw?" I asked, standing up.
"It's a masterpiece." She smirked even wider.
She drew us like voodoo dolls. Luke wearing a tiara.
Me wearing a top with the safety pin sign. Calum wearing a top saying The New Broken Scene. And Mike dressed as a cheerleader! Pom poms and all! I started laughing then and there. I showed Luke and Calum the picture. And Mikey last.
He chuckled shaking his head, "I do rock in a cheerleader skirt though."
That cracked us all up.
"I'm gunna get this printed larger and put it in the hallway for everyone to see." I said, after the laughter died down. Riley gave me the sheet of paper with the drawing on and I went to the shops to go and get this printed off.
Mike//
That brightened my day a little, however I'm still ticked off, Tyler's mum seemed so nice but the dad was horrible. I just...it doesn't make sense.
"Mikey? What's wrong?" Riley asked.
"It's just...I have a question." I admitted, "Did you know Tyler's mum had a boyfriend?" It seemed like the right question to ask.
She nodded her head, "But I've never seen him."
"Do you know when she started dating the guy?"
"I guess. Tyler always kept me informed about it..." Her gaze changed after she realized why I was asking all of these questions, "You spoke to Tyler's mum. Didn't you?"
"I had to get to the bottom of it, Rie. I hate seeing you upset." I tried to reason.
"After I told you to just drop it? Michael, I trusted you. I thought you would just leave it alone." She was angry, disappointed and upset all at the same time.
I want to say I feel ashamed--which of course I was--but at the same time, I wasn't. I have never been so determined in my life to find something out so desperately, "Riley, I-"
"I don't care, anymore. Do what you want." I heard Riley break into tears when she left the room. She had also, run up the stairs, probably to her room.
I stood up to go and follow her but Luke stopped me.
"I'll go. You're probably the last person she wants to see right now." Luke said.
"That's true. Thanks, Luke." I smiled, faintly.
Riley//
How could he? Why? I just don't get it. Why could he just have left it? I said I'd get over it.
I heard my door creak open, from under my quilt. That's right. I was balling my eyes out, under my quilt. I just hoped it wasn't Michael--Yeah, that sounds mean--however, completely ignored what I said to him.
"You ok, doll?" Luke. He sat on the bed and slowly lifted the quilt so he could see my face. "Awe, doll. Mikey hurt you, really bad huh?"
"Not just Mike...I'm worried about Liv. What happens if she doesn't get her memory back?" Tears continued to flow down my cheeks.
"Come here." Luke cradled me in his long, warm arms, "Everyone's memory has something to trigger it, whether it's simple or very complicated. Could be as simple as trying a sweet or as hard as a math problem. It'll always come back. No matter how long it takes. No matter the effort."
"You should be a pep talker for, football teams and stuff." I said at last.
He chuckled, "Thanks, doll."
"Luke?"
"Yeah, doll?"
"Why do you think mum did it?"
Luke//
What kinda question was that? How on Earth was I gunna answer that?? Compromise, Lucas. Come on.
"She was probably in a lot of stress. Anger. Regret. She probably wasn't thinking straight, however it wasn't just your mum's fault. It was our fault too." I sighed.
"But, I don't understand. What did mum do wrong? Why did dad have to go and do that?"
"Clearly, your dad should have thought about what he was doing before he did it. He's probably regretting everything he has ever done to hurt you." I answered, not really knowing what that Jerk is doing.
I feel awful for what Liv and Riley have been through. I hate it when people do that. Don't people realize what they do. Don't they realize how badly they could/already have hurt people. Then, the people who have been hurt, blame themselves for what the idiots have done. I can't bare to see innocent people like Riley and Liv get hurt. Their mum was hurt the most. She was hurt so badly, she died. She probably hadn't meant to hurt her daughters, but because of her pain, did. And, she died because of it. It's horrible to think about, but, it's the truth. A horrible truth. When, well if, I meet her father I want to have serious words.
I was so deep in thought, I hadn't even noticed Riley fall asleep. I kissed her forehead and wrapped her up in the quilt. Poor baby girl. She's hurting. Missing her mum.
I went back downstairs, checked on Liv and her friends--who were doing fine--and back to the kitchen.
"How is she?" Mikey asked, looking worried.
"Little heartbroken. She misses her mum guys. I have no idea what to do. I can only go so far, you know." I blurred out.
They nodded, understanding what I was saying. They better know what I was saying. I can't do this by myself.
"What is she doing now?" Ashton asked
"She's taking a little nap." I nodded.
"I hope she okay." Mikey whispered.
