Jiley: why me?

Story time

Riley's PoV

"Well what do you want to know?"
I ask as he takes a seat on my bed next to me.
"Whatever you want to spill" he says is in his usual cool, laid back voice.
"Well I've been in a care home for as long as I can remember. I've never actually stayed with a family more that 2 weeks, thats usually when I start to act my ways or the careers found out what there really like. I usually get put with people who just want the money out this and live in scruffy homes. Nothing compared to this. My ways are well not how I'm acting now, the other night was just a little sample of what I can do, but it's usually ten times worse than that. I do have anger issues and I'm sure Amanda told your mum and dad that. At school I'm a grade A student. I ace all my test and class work but I get into fights, arguments and sometimes I bunk school. I did get excluded for 1 month because this girl Emily, she well started acting all hard and bring up me living in a care home. I snapped and gripped her by the hair. I broke her nose and arm. She's a bitch and she always does this to me but I learnt how to control my anger around people. I usually get kicked out of homes because I bring some boy home and sleep around with them. I'm the schools slut basically I'm a disgrace to the whole city" I say that's basically it. He raises his brows and studies my face.
"Your parents, why'd they give you up?"
"Well, my dad died and he was an alcoholic. My mum well I don't even know anything about her. No one does she basically did a disappearing act. Honestly I don't know anything about her nor do I want to. I heard Amanda talking about her one day saying she has a new family somewhere in New Orleans but ever since then I've not heard anything more about her" i say truthfully. What else do I have to lose.
"I'm really sorry riles that you had to go through all that" he places a protective arms around my waist.  I smile honestly it doesn't even hurt me.

"So how bout you?"
"What about me?" James asks
"Why do you always get so tense around your.. I mean our dad?"
"He sometime brings his friends from work over when mums working late and one night they got pissed and he hit me but I'm fine. I know it's only because he's was drunk but I don't think he'll do it again now that your here"
My eyes widen slight. What the fuck. He abuses James and James lets him, that is not okay. I guess it has to be for him not to end up like me.

"James, do they expect us to be perfect?"
"Yeah, we're the Torjimans and the face of the city, ever since I was born I've been told I have to look perfect, act perfect and be perfect.
"I think I'm going to go to sleep now, see you in the morning"
"Night lil sis"
"Night" I hug him then I'm alone.

A million thoughts are running through my mind. Should I stay or let my heart decide. I turn my lamp off and Lay in the dark. David seems odd, strange. I don't really want to stay if he's here but I can't go back. I can't let go of James. I've never actually felt how love feels like. Where I come from is different than here, you get what you deserve by class not because you have everything under the sun. If I leave he'll forget and I'll never see him again but if I stay, I might not be safe.
