We walked outside on the park bench under a tree.

Red and green lights filled the streets. You could almost feel the joy and cheer.

"Riley listen, i know you hate me"

"You got that right."

"But why?"

I looked at the gleam of lights and hesitated. But spoke "because Lucas.. That dance in sixth grade- the one i asked you to dance. You... You said no. And not just 'oh sorry i dont dance' a rude no like an 'i have better things to do' no."

He stared into my eyes "Riley that was almost 3 years ago. Things change in 3 years"

I turned to meet him "but its just after all the things ive went through..Its not easy to trust."

He nodded "i understand but maybe we could be.. More then friends."

He pulled me closer.

Closer

CLOSER

And he kissed me. My eyes were wide with shock.

But then.. I saw something that caught my shocked eyes.

His phone which was lit up with a text.

Did u betray her yet??

I pulled away abruptly and pulled out his phone.

I held back tears.

"Riley..." He began

"LUCAS! Why?! Why are you helping them do whatever they're doing?"

I was yelling now, "How could you just make me pour my heart out to you .. And you just step on it!"

He reached for his phone and i pulled ut away even more "Well i won't be fooled by you anymore."

And with that, i did something i probably shouldn't have done, but i loved it.

I dropped his phone to the cement. And stepped on it before i made my dramatic exit.

Back in the dance a spanish song was playing. I wiped my tears quickly so no one would see me.

Maya cought me and let go of farkle.

"Stay here" i heard her mouth

I ran out of the school as fast as i could. I coukd see and hear Maya behind me

"Riley wait!"

But i kept running away from my problems.. I just couldnt handle it anymore

I bolt into my house and ran towards my room.

I yanked the scissors off my desk and cut. Blood was dripping out.

I saw myslef in the mirror with red eyes and red arm.

Mary anne came in, her eyes wide with fear

"Riley!"

She snatched the scissors just like Maya had.

Tears fell to my cheeks "why do you care about me Marry anne. We havent even known each other that long."

She sniffed and wiled a tear off her eyes

"It doesn't matter how long we've known each other. It maters how much we love each other."

She hugged me and i felt loved and wanted. I had never felt that. Not by family and especially not Lucas.

"Thanks Marry Anne. You know what.. I think you'd love Maya. C'mon lets ask mom if she can sleep over."








Its gonna be like a quadruple update cause i just got inspired for how this'll end!!
