Saving Riley

Chapter 15- Heartbreak

Hunter and I were muching on pizza at his house when we both got the calls we were waiting for. I looked at Hunter.

'Put your phone on vibrate Hunter, I'll go first, she's gonna be so pissed at me.'

I couldn't help but let out a girly giggle that had been building up. Casey can be both scary and piss your pants funny all at the same time. Accepting the call I put it on speakerphone so Hunter could listen in.

'Hi Case, what's up?'

'Hello, best friend'....Uh oh! I never get that unless I've been very naughty. Whoops. Casey continued 'I've never been so angry and so happy all at the same time, I don't know whether I want to kiss you or rip every hair from your head first' Violent!!!! Told you little miss innocent can be scary. 'So I'll go for option one and squeeze you to death with cuddles, because my new boyfriend might get jealous if I go around kissing someone else. Anyway, I'm going now, we re going to see a movie. So Ill see you tomorrow. Love you bye.'

'Love you too Case, Have fun'.

'She really is a different girl now, she's gone from being invisible to having this whole new personality, and It's all because of you Tiger, I guess you bring out the best in people'. Kissing the top of my head Hunter pulled me down into his arms.

I tried to process what he'd just told me, people said the same thing about Adam. The thought made me smile, maybe I'm not such a disappointment after all. I twisted in Hunter's arms, tracing my fingers over his tattoos, God he was so hot, I can't believe he's mine sometimes.

'I love you Hunter, you know that right, I don't know what I'd do without you.' I stretched up his body to place a kiss on his lip, lightly tugging on his snake bites. I saw a frown cross his features before it was replaced with a look of pure lust, since we'd done the 'deed' as it were, we'd been insatiable for each other, we never really went on dates, we weren't really into that, sure we went for dinner and stuff but we both preferred to go to a gig or hang out playing guitar, or watching movies, we really were a boring pair. Until lately of course when all we did was have sex, which was much more fun, mainly because both of us were inexperienced and got to learn together. You know what they say, practice makes perfect.

Hunter rolled me under him and kissed me as if our very lives depended on it, It was weird, it was almost like a goodbye kiss, he's been weird recently. Maybe its his hormones. Putting that thought aside I let Hunter take control and lost myself in loving this gorgeous man.

Hunter's POV

I looked down Riley curled up against my body fast asleep, one hand spread over my chest, he hair fanned out over my chest. I glared at the phone in my hands, I'd do anything to keep her out of harms way, and the bitch who was threatening to tear us apart. I was fucking stuck, I had no choice, angrily texting a reply, I turned the phone around and took a picture of the two of us coz I don't think I'll get the chance to do this again. That last thought was the end of me, I felt the first treacherous tear escape and make its way from my eye into Riley's hair, swiftly followed by more until my body was rocking with silent sobs.

7am the next morning.....

I'd left Riley asleep and had gone to meet the bitch that was enjoying fucking my life up. I was told to meet her here in the school car park, looing towards the sound of the engine and the screeching of tires as she took the corner too sharply I was the pink monstrosity stop in the space next to mine. Tiffany. I should have fucking guessed.

She out of the car wearing a very short pink dress wit ridiculous heals, I couldn't help but think of Riley and how she dresses, jeans or combats and a tank or band t-shirt and then her DC's or high tops. I couldn't have loved her more. Just what I want in a girl. Tattoos everywhere, basically a girl me, she fit me perfectly and I her.

'Are you fucking listening to me Hunter?' Tiffany screeched, causing me to wince.

'What? No. Speak' I said bluntly.

'I said you'll do exactly what I want or I'll make your little whore's life miserable by showing everybody this'

She pulled out a laptop and opened the lid and then pressed play. The screen lit up and the view from the camera was shaky, the screen brightened and Riley's bedroom came into focus. Oh fuck that is seriously creepy. What was more disturbing was what followed. I was on top of Riley, Kissing her, before pulling her up and taking off her shirt. This was us making love for the first time. What would have been a treasured memory was now tainted and dirty, intrusive even.

'It makes great viewing doesn't it? Now you'll do as I say or the whole school will see exactly what a little whore your girlfriend is.

'Fine you little bitch, you hurt her, and you won't live to see another day' I glared at her not even bothering to hide the tears making their way down my face.

'Now, now Hunter you don't want to make your girlfriend angry do you?'

Riley's POV

I stretched and rolled over expecting to be next to Hunter, but he was gone and his side of the bed was cold. Frowning I wondered where he was, maybe he went home to get changed, but why I don't know because he has tons of is clothes here. I dressed in 3 quarter length combat trousers with my trusty studded belt, pulling on my wicked paramour shirt and DC's. I ate a quick breakfast and made my way to school.

When I got to school I shut off my car and grabbed my bag, I noticed people were looking at me weird, almost like they were sending me sympathetic glances. I started to worry, had something happened to Casey?

I made my way through the main doors walking to the end of the corridor through the sea of people sending me apologetic glances. That's when I saw them, Tiffany had Hunter pressed against her locker, kissing him, his hands at her waist, not pushing her away.

Silence.

No one spoke or moved, the were waiting for me to loose my cool and bitch slap someone.

Tiffany and Hunter noticed the silence and turned to me, breaking their intense make out session.

She walked slowly towards me. Lifted her arm and hit me across the face hard. Feeling the taste of blood from my lip and some dripping from my eye from where her ring cut me, I still stayed silent.

'I win, it was a bet, did you actually think he loved you? All you were was an easy fuck. Nothing more, nothing less. A bet, to see who could get into the whore's panties. Isn't that right baby?' She turned to Hunter who had a pained look in his eye, probably guilt. He nodded.

'It was a bet, I never wanted you.'

 Song for this chapter-James Arthur-Impossible

I actually cried writing this, I've been putting off this chapter for a while mainly because I hated what I had to do to Hunter and Riley but also coz I wanted this chapter to be perfect and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. What do you think?
