"Hey riles" Gordon gulps.
"Michael?"
"Uh.."
"We have been friends for five months now and I thought your name was Gordon this whole time" I pout crossing my arms. Gordon sets his black bag on a chair. "My real name is Michael. But only my mother calls me that. Gordon seemed better" he comes walking over to me. "Oh.. Okay" I give a weak smile.
"Anyways.. Where's Luke?"
"Asleep"
"Damn."
------
I lay down on my bed coughing. Is this was giving birth is like? But out of my mouth. I reach over for my phone and snuffle on the process.
Riles: Gordon..
FRAT💩: Yeah?
Riles: I got a problem Houston
FRAT💩: what's your problem?
Riles: you should come over 😊
I fall back on my bed.
------
My vision clears as I open my eyes. I crawl out of bed sick and Gordon is sitting on my white couch on his laptop. "Riles" he smiles.
"Hi" my voice cracks. I don't feel sick anymore. Yay!
"Listen, your gunna be dressed in something casual, and I'll be back at noon" he smirks standing up.
"Uh okay" Gordon picks up his stuff and goes back to his house.
I get dressed in something very casual. I slip on my converses and do my makeup.
-----
"So uh where are we going?" I ask as i climb into Gordon's truck.
"The mall"
"I didn't bring much money" I laugh buckling in. "And? I've got some" he smiles. I look at him and flips down his sunglasses. "Badass" he blares the stereo. "No badass!" I reach for the volume but Gordon's hand lifts mine up. Not letting me turn bit done. Sparks fill my hand and rush through the bloodstream. I give a weak smile and he turns it down looking at me.
"Your cute" he says squishing his cheeks together. I look out the window and look back at him. His lips plant on mine and he pulls away.
"Uh..." He starts up his truck. "Sowwey" he sighs.
"No it's fine!" I say wishing those sparks I got again lasted for more than a second.
"No it's not" he rests his head on his hands that are placed on the steering wheel.
"No, really it is" I say sliding over to him.
"I sorta enjoyed it" I giggle.
"Really?" He smiles looking down at the floor.
"Yeah" I say as he picks his head up.
"Well.. Uh.. Let's go to the mall" he says backing out of the driveway.
"Way to change the topic" I roll my eyes.
"You shut up"
"Bastard"
--------
I look at the blue haired boy anxiously waiting for his pizza. "Ugh!" He looks over his shoulder at me.
"You wanted it" I chuckle.
"But it's not the one you deliver" he spins on his heal and looks at me.
"Your cute" I smile slapping his chest.
"Owwey" he pouts.
"Clifford!" Someone shouts. I look around too see a group of guys walking over like they are cool. Their fuckboy persona annoy me. The five boys stand in front of me and Gordon. The meanest gets up close in personal with Gordon. A breath escapes my lips. As Michael holds his arm out across my body. "Who's this little thing?" He smiles looking at me, his overly white teeth nearly make me go blind.
"Can't we handle this outside" Michael says coldly with no emotion.
"Fine" the other snaps. They strut off out of the mall.
"Riley, go somewhere else. I don't want you around here" he hands me a twenty and kisses me.
"Gordon what's happening" I say looking down at his black shirt.
"I owe them something" he says making my heart shatter. My heart starts to race. "Drugs?"
"No.." He chuckles. He kisses me one more time and runs off. I stand there alone and scared. He said to go somewhere else. I slowly walk away from the food court and go into the video store.

Gordon POV
------
"Gordon!" They shout as the rush towards me.
"You owe us"
I kick the pavement with my black converse and look up.
"What now. I already gave you the money"
"We want your girl"
"We agreed on me giving you the money for the tv"
"But that won't give me action in bed will it?" Josh says staring me down.
"We will let you go with no broken bones, if you give us her number" Matt exclaims.
I roll my eyes as josh has an erection growing.
"Control that!" I point.
"Your gay aren't you?" He says steeping close to me so I'm up against a wall.
"Yep thats why I have a girlfriend" I say pushing him off me. Next I know a fist rises to my face. I tried to fight back but the 5 of them wouldn't let me. My vision goes black as my head spins.
The girl I'm crushing on hardcore looks at me, smiling.
"Ugh" I look over my shoulder and Riley stands there holding back her cute wittle giggles I adore.
"You wanted it"
"But it's not the one you deliver" I turn around and look at the cutie who is so much like me.
"Your cute" she places her hand on my chest.
"Owwey" I pout.
I call the pizza delivery service closest to my house.
"Johnnies pizza how may I help you?" A sweet girl voice answers.
"Can I get a large pepperoni pizza?"
"We are frat boys that's what we do!" Calum shouts.
"Wait is Calum gay?" She asks Luke.
"Fuck it" I storm out of the room and walk upstairs. Riley follows me calling my name.
I wake up with things attached to me. I lift my arm up and wires run out of me. "Where's Riley?" I say looking around to see Ashton and Calum sitting there. "She's fine. She's with Luke at her place" Calum stands up. I try to sit up but pain rushes through me.
"Whoa! Calm your tits man. You have some broken bones. Chill" Ashton says pushing me back down.
"You want your girl huh?" Calum calmly questions.
"Yeah.." I say shifting up on the bed. I wines at the pain in my chest. I lay back down and my eyes start feeling heavy.
----
I wake up too a sleepy girl next to me. Her dark brown hair is everywhere. I bring my arm up and cuddle her.
I look at the bandage wrapped around my ribs. I touch the bandage and wince, I broke them. I did for a reason. I will not have them touch Riley. I. I- love her.
It's 1 am. The hospital is quiet. My lung may collapse. They beat me hard. Or that's what i heard from Ashton.
-----
Riles
-----
I watch little sleepy Clifford laying in bed. All bruised but still looks hot. What? He is. Fuck with me.
His lung may collapse. His eyes are shut tight and he's a little pink on his cheeks.
I walk out of the mall looking for mikey. "Mike?" I call. I continue walking around and I look everywhere around the mall. Until I reach the alley. A body lays there up against the wall. Chin touching their chest. I run over and my Mikey is laying there unconscious. "Gordon" I nearly scream. Blood is spread across his forehead and bruises are everywhere. I rush to take my phone out and call an ambulance. I shiver in the cold sitting next to Mikey knowing there's nothing I can do. They out numbered him. Five mean punks beat up my boy- my my my friend. Right. He looks so cold. I try to wake him up but it's not happening. Police pop up, security guards pull me away. They wheel him into the ambulance. I take Mikey's keys that were left on the ground and drive to the hospital. Later after I've been there waiting for him to wake up Ashton and Calum insisted that Luke will pick me up and bring me home.
"Riley?" Gordon says holding onto me.
"Yeah?"
"I.. Owed them money for a tv I broke, I gave them the money but they wanted a girl for action. I wasn't going to have them make you their little slut. I.. I.. Really like you... I lashed out and they attacked..."
"I know"
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Gordon asks all sleepy.
"Damn. I thought we were already sorta like a thing. So no" I smirk.
Gordon turns sad immediately.
"That's means yes, idiot" I nuzzle closer to him on his bed. "Can I go home?" He asks.
"Soon"
-----
I run the campus and run into a group. The same group I saw at the mall. I stop running, pause my iPod, and sit on the bench taking sips of my water. One eyes me. I quickly get up and run. "Hey!" One shouts. I keep running looking back. I finally stop and see them once more coming around the corner. "Where's your boy toy?" Matt huffs walking over to me.
"I don't keep track" I say feeling my knees shake. Suddenly someone sneaks up behind me covering my mouth. I struggle to move out of their reach but fail. His lips come close up to my ear pulling my hair back.
"How about you give us some pleasure, Hun" he says huskily.
I try to scream but he increases the tension on my mouth keeping it shut.
"You know, your friend Gordon owes us"
"He went to our party, hooked up with my girl, making her leave me, he gating with me, crushing my flatscreen in the process. He owed us money, but know he owes me a girl. Your a girl aren't you?"
I slap his hand.
"I can't fucking answer if you cover my god damn mouth!" I snap.
"Fuck off" I kick him in the baby maker and run. He falls to the ground In a fetal position.
-----
It's been a few weeks since that happened. Gordon doesn't know. He won't.
"We should go out tonight" Luke smirks looking up at me. I slide off his couch and sit on his carpet.
"Really now?"
"Yeah, you should bring Gordon"
"I will!" I jump up and run down Lukes stairs, fly through the kitchen, nearly knock a lamp over, and last but not least to Michaels room. "We are going out tonight with Luke" I smile. I hang in his doorway. "Um?"
"Um. What?"
"I don't wanna"
"Please Gordon!" I pout.
"Maybe"
