Jais POV:

The journey home went fast from not only my concern for Riley, but my dangerously fast speeding due to me being eager to see if Riley was okay. Her soft sniffles had died down but cold tears still streamed down her face making speckles of mascara follow. My black car pulled up at the buildings parking lot where both me and Riley lived. She picked up her black purse and slowly made her way out the car. I sighed , and with one last glance, i followed.

She took small steps towards the building as i followed closely behind. Her heels making a clicking noise with every step she took. Her head lowered as she walked making my hear fill with sympathy. I dont know why im feeling like this. Im usually the guy that never feels any emotion. Im the guy that doesnt give a shit about any one. Im the guy that destroys people. And here I am feeling nothing but pity for a girl that probably doesnt even class me as a 'friend'. I mean I wouldnt even class her as my friend.

I realised after my long thinking session that we had finally reached our doors. She stared at me with her glossy eyes and shakily said "Thankyou, so much". Her eyes pouring into mine.

"I-its nothing" I replied awkwardly.

I was caught off guard when she wrapped her small arms around my waist. I wasnt used to this. I hated how she made me feel like im someone im not. I lightly wrapped my arms around her shoulders returning the gesture with me then awkwardly patting her back in the process. See, im not used to this.

She eventually removed her arms from my waist leaving a cold feeling behind. "Look, if you wanna come over for dinner some day so i can thank you for what you did toda-" she rambled but i stopped her immediately. This was all too much.

"No, look, its best if you dont get involved with me and my shit okay. Im not someone you want to be involved with", And with that being said I turned around opening my apartment door. Leaving her confused and with many questions clouding her mind.

Riley's POV:

The door slammed shut as he left me alone in the empty corridor. I sighed as my mind filled with many questions. I took one last glance as i made my way into my apartment. Was it something i did? Did i do something to upset him? Why did he seem so distant after i asked him to come over? My mind clouded over with questions once again as i took off my heels. My feet ached from the tall heels i had previously been wearing. I headed to my bedroom is i changed into my fuzzy pyjamas. I then remembered that i had forgot to empty my bin from earlier today. With it only being 10pm, I took the full bag and headed out from my apartment, shoving a pair of old ugg boots on my feet. Bitter air filled my senses as i stepped out from the building, heading round the corner to where the bins were. I had quickly stuffed the bag in the bin, rushing to get inside from the frosty wind. It wasnt until I heard groaning from behind the bin when i stopped. I paused to listen more, when the groaning continued. Being the curious person I am, I slowly tip toed round the side of the bins where i seen a black Timberland boot sticking out from the side. I continued to tip-toe round the side until I seen a man with a beaten up face and blood oozing from his nose. I gasped out of shock. I rushed to the mans side and as i got closer the the mans features became more clear. It's Jai. My worries increased as i seen jais beaten up face starting to throb.

"Jai???" I gasped out of shock.

"Riley?" He muttered.

I pulled his arm around my shoulder, helping him up whilst asking "What happened to you?"

"Some guys were after me an-" He hardly whispered but was unable to continue as i pulled him up to his feet making him groan in pain.

With his arm still round my shoulder, I pulled his beaten body back inside the building. He limped his way into my apartment without a word being said. His arm left my shoulder as I closed the door behind me. I had many questions for him to answer but I put them aside with my main priority being to clean Jai up. I placed him on the corner of the bath as I pulled my small first aid kit from my cupboard. I placed myself between his slightly parted legs as he stared at me intently. I ignored his stare as I concentrated on his swelling face.

What happened to him? Why would someone do this? Who did this? What did he mean by guys were after him? Why did he say its best to stay away from him? How is he a bad person? So many questions once again clouded my mind making my head spin.

I placed a tissue on his bleeding nose making him slightly wince. With his glare still focused on me, I used a spray to cleaning his freshly formed cut that lay upon his forehead. No words were spoken in the process. Making the situation even more awkward than it already was.

Once I was done, I stood him back up placing his muscular arms upon my shoulder again, leading him to the couch. He instantly sunk into the couch sighing in relief from the pain. His eyes looked droopy so I got him some pain killers and a glass of water. I got a spare blanket from the cupboard and placed it over his tired body.

"Sleep" I said. "We'll talk about this in the morning."

And for once he didnt protest and he dug his head deeper into the couch. I watched him as i walked out of the room heading to my own bed room. My head swimming with questions once again. What the hell happened tonight?
