Gone Forever

Chapter 16-False Interview

Riley's POV

If this day could be worse than the last. I watch James disappear out the door for his dance practice and I'm left, as usual all alone not being allowed to move. I start to fall asleep on the sofa when a deafening knocking sound comes from the door. I look out the window and it's that stupid reporter but she has no cameras. I think about for a few seconds until I finally decide to let her in.
"Riley!" she says, flinging her arms around me. I look behind her and Mia's there.
"Why is Mia here?" I ask.
"Oh you've met? Well, this is my lovely daughter."
"Hi Riley!" she says. What on earth is going on.
"I'll have two teas please," the reporter says.
"I..."
"Chop chop!" I walk into the kitchen and make two teas. I bring them back into the living room where they're sitting lazily on the sofa. Mia takes a sip.

"Mum, this doesn't taste right," she says," Can we have another?"

"Another what?"
"A different type of tea!" I walk into the kitchen and rummage around the cupboards to try and find another tea.
"We have no other tea," I say.

"I don't care get me another!"
"But we..."
"Get me one!"
"No! What is going on what are you doing I don't get it?!"
"Riley sit down," the reporter says,"I'm ever so sorry for Mia I just came to ask you a few questions but you won't be filmed."

"OK fine."

"Mia, write down what she says. So how did you end up getting pregnant?"

"How you normally get pregnant it's a bit obvious."

"Well how was it an accident?"

"Because we just didn't expect it to happen."

"Do..."

"You've already asked me all these questions can you leave?"
"Fine Mia, lets go, Riley, you shouldn't of said that, you're going to get a big surprise."
"What?" They pick up their things and leave. That was weird.

James's POV

It's the next day and I don't have dance.

"James!" Riley shouts from downstairs.

"Yeah!"

"Why is there a newspaper?!" I run downstairs and there's a newspaper. I pick it up and at the front it has a picture of Riley and the caption says "Interview with Riley Beaton".

"What interview?" I ask.

"She came to give me an interview...again."

"Why did you let them in?"

"She kept on banging and banging on the door and there were no cameras."
"OK Riley don't let them in because now this has happened."

"Well, I don't know why it was in the newspaper because she asked me one question then I told them to go."

"But..." I pick up the newspaper and read it.

"Riley...it says that you said that I raped you."

"What?!" She snatches it off me and reads it,"James this is all a lie most of these questions she didn't even ask me!"

"OK maybe she lied but now I'm going to jail because everyone's going to read the newspaper and call the police." She picks up the newspaper and reads it again.
"Look at this," she says. She gives it to me and at the bottom it says "False Interview".

"It says down here that she's been arrested!"

"Good for her."
