~ Lucas' p.o.v ~

I have to talk to Riley. I just have to. I was at her house, ringing her door bell. No awnser. I went to her window and it was wide open. It had a note on it.

'Do not close. Only way in and out of house. '

What? Why can't she just use her front door? I crawl into her room. I see her phone on her bed, half a scissor, a video camera and a picture of Riley and I hugging.

I walked over to her desk and examined it. The video camera and half a scissor. What the?

I take the camera and turn it on. I go to the gallery section and see a recent video at the bottom. I click on it.

"My name. Is Riley. I live in New York. And then story that your about to hear. I-Is my whole life. "

" I fell in love. With a boy in middle school. We broke up before high school even started. But then we started dating again at the end of high school. We gave each other love and compassion. "

" Till one day. I woke up and my father talked to me. He told me that I wasn't aloud to date or be near Lucas. I cried. Non stop. I have to admit something. "

She took a deep breath.

"I've been cutting. And starving. You may think that it's to get attention... No. It's the opposite. When I finally cut deep enough. I will die. Then no one will have to see me around anymore. "

" one week later, he kissed Missy. They deserve each other. I'm just a nobody. Missy is popular and known. I-I'm not. "

" It's been a week. And I can't handle this pain anymore. I'm done. I'm done with life. I'm done with trying. "

She took a deep breath, quivering from tears.

" Good bye. Lucas .....I hate you."

She started crying even more. She took the scissor and broke it in half. She turned off the camera.

" Oh my god. " I whispered to myself.

I ran around the house, looking for Riley. I then heard a thud. In the bathroom. I ran to it.

" RILEY!"

I banged on the door. No awnser.

" RILEY!"

No awnser again. Okay...

One

Two

Three.

I kicked the door down. I dragged the door out of the bathroom. I saw Riley lying on the ground. Her eyes were closed. I stared at her. There was blood dripping off her arm. Was that from the door?

I took a towel, wet it, and dabbed it all off. I saw cuts. Oh no. Did she cut herself to death? NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!

I start to shake and panic. I examine her more and see something in her hands. I uncurled it.

You will not believe what I just saw. I gasp and covered my mouth. I started to cry.

She took pills.

Cold tears streamed down my face. There was so much pain in me. All of these emotions. I-I can't handle them.

She... She killed herself...

BECAUSE OF ME!I STILL LOVE HER!

COME BACK!

I lifted her off the floor and hugged her. The pills dropped out of her hands and I cried even more. I cried into her shoulder.

" I love you Riley. I never stopped." I repeatedly said like a broken record.

I shook her.

" WAKE UP RILEY!" I screamed.

I took her face and pulled it close to mine. I gently kissed her close lips. Then I took our foreheads and put them together. There was no spark.

I love you Riley. Wake up. I can't live without you.

WAKE UP!

" RILEY!" I shrieked.

I pulled our foreheads apart, giving up on the idea that she will live. I've been sitting here. With Riley. Begging her to wake up. For 2 hours. I carried her into her room. I went to the phone and slowly dialed 911. I set Riley down onto her bed and put the phone to my ear.

" 911 what's your emergency."

...

I stayed silent.

" Are you there?"

" Hi..." I breathed out.

Trying to calm myself from the tears.

" Hello there sir. "

" A girl I loved... Killed herself."

I heard a gasp. Then I couldn't keep in the tears. I started to cry again.

" Please tell me that she's gonna be okay?!"

" Sir please calm down. We will be right there"

I sniffled.

" Okay." I whispered.

She hung up the phone.

I dragged myself over to Riley's bed. Where her lifeless body laid. I laid down next to her and held her hand. I looked up at the ceiling.

" Do you ever feel like. Your world crumbled. Because of you?" I mumbled.

I looked at her face. Her eyes were closed and her lips were shut. I took her hand that was in my hand and kissed it.

" I love you." I whispered.

Tears came down my face again. I let go of her hands and started to get out of bed. But then I stumbled to the ground.

What the? I tried getting up again. I can't. I used to much of my strength and energy on crying that I didn't save enough for me.

I grabbed the bed and helped myself up. I had to hold onto things to walk.

Then I remembered something. When I'm at the hospital with her. And I'm alone with her. I'm going to do something. In memory of Riley...
