Riley: Yep it's me uncle Shawn. (He was my dad's best friend, not really my uncle)

Shawn: What are you doing hear?

Riley: I came to talk to Mr. Feeney about my mom and dad. My teacher Mr valentine sent me hear. You went to school with him?

Shawn: Yh, I did. Riley we all decided it was better for you not to know about your parents.

Lucas: Shawn is it? I don't mean to sound rude but this girl has gone through hell and back. I can tell and I've only known her 3weeks. I think she's old enough to know about her parents. It would mean a lot to her.

Riley: thanks Lucas. Please uncle Shawn

Shawn: Mr. Feeney. There is a young girl hear to see you.

I saw a man walk down the corridor towards the me.

Mr. Feeney: Yes?

Riley: you knew and tough my parents. I was just wondering if you could tell me about them please?

Mr. Feeney: and who were your parents?

Riley: Mr. Cory and Mrs. Topanga Matthews. I'm there daughter Riley.

Mr. Feeney: oh gosh. You look like the perfect combination of Cory and Topanga please come in. You too young man.

Lucas: the names Lucas. It's really good to meet you.

We both sat down on the couch as Mr. Feeney and Shawn sat on the one across from us.

Shawn: I've not seen you since you were 8. Look how grown up you've gotten.

Riley: Yeah well when you go through what I have you learn to grow up quick.

Mr. Feeney: you look excally like Cory but with Topanga's hair.

Riley: thank you.

Mr. Feeney: and that locket. I remember your dad coming to me asking if it was a good 1-yearanniversary gift for your mother.

I looked down at my locket holding it. I felt so emotional.

Riley: you mean my dad gave this to my mom?

Mr. Feeney: that's excally what I'm saying!

Riley: oh wow.

I felt Lucas take me by the hand holding it tight.

Mr feenie: oh were are my manners. Would you like a cup of tea or coffee.

Riley: I'll have a white tea please two sugars.

Shawn: that's excally how Cory took his tea.

Mr Feeney: and you Lucas?

Lucas: I'll have a black coffee please.

I looked at Lucas giving him a smile squeezing his hand tight. Before looking back over at Shawn.

Shawn: Are you two a couple then or?

I saw Lucas look at me then back at Shawn.

Shawn: sorry did I make things aquard?

Lucas: No, no not at all its just a bit complicated.

I elbowed Lucas in the side as if to tell him to shut up.

I just saw Shawn laughing at us before I looked at Lucas and laughing at him.

Shaw: You're alot like Cory and Topanga you know that.

Riley: really?

Shawn: Yep. Your Cory and he's Topanga.

We all sat in the lounge of Mr. Feeney's house talking about my parents. As it got too hot I just took my jacket off without thinking. I saw Shawn's eye's lock on me.

Shawn: Riley can you come with me a second please?

Riley: Erm okay sure.

I got up and flowed Shawn into the hall and left Lucas talking to Mr feenie.

Lucas Pov.

Riley got up and left the room with Shawn leaving me alone with Mr Feeney.

Mr. Feeney: what's going on with you and Riley then. I can tell you're into her?

Lucas: You can?

Mr. Feeney: you can't keep your eyes off her it's not exactly Suttle.

Lucas: it's complicated. I've hurt her too many times.

Mr. Feeney: how?

Lucas: I'm a bit of a player you see.

Mr. Feeney: A player?

Lucas: I play with girls emotions. Make them think they like me. Use them and then move on. I'm a heart breaker.

Mr. Feeney: look son, that girl yes, she's very broken. Anyone with eyes can see that. When she looks at you I see her face light up like a Christmas tree. It's special. I've only known her 5 minutes but I knew her parents all there lives. She's just like them. She's one of a kind. She's special. You wanna keep hold of her. And never let her go. You understand me?

Lucas: I understand you sir.

Riley's Pov.

Shawn: Riley honey. I'm so sorry.

Riley: for what uncle Shawn?

He stayed silent of a second before I looked down and noticed when he meant.

Riley: Oh you mean these.

Shawn: Yes Riley. Honey. Why.

I feel like over the past three weeks I've been asked that question too much.

Riley: it's the only pain I can control. The only one that I understand. When something bad happens to me I cut. So then I know why I'm feeling the pain. It's not for no reason.

Shawn: oh honey.

Riley: There's worse.

Shawn: how can there be worse than this?

Riley: I drink too. To forget all the hurtful things Emily and Edward say to me.

Shawn: if I'd of know I'd of done something i-...

Riley: Shawn, I know you would. So do something for me now. Get me away from Emily and Edward. Please move to New York. Anything. Just keep me away from the hurt and abuse I get. The loneliness I'm feeling.

Shawn: anythings Riley!

Riley: thank you Shawn!

I gave Shawn a big hug before going back into the lounge to find Lucas and Mr. Feeney talking.

Lucas: You ready to go?

Riley: Yh all ready.

I walked over to get my bag and jacket Mr. Feeney left the room disappearing down the hall.

Riley: Goodbye uncle Shawn.

Shawn: See ya honey. And about what we talked about. I'll try my very best.

Lucas: good to meet you man.

Shawn: you two man. Keep a good eye on her for me will ya.

Lucas: of cores. I plan to.

Just as I was getting into the car I heard Mr. Feeney calling my name.

Mr. Feeney: Riley...

I turned around to see him holding a large cardboard box full of things.

Mr. Feeney: take this! I think you should have it now.

Riley: thank you so much. It was really good meeting you.

Mr. Feeney: you two. Keep in touch please. I would love to hear how things progress with you and Lucas.

Riley: don't worry I will.

I put the cardboard box in the boot of the car before getting in and letting Lucas drive away. I didn't look back because I have a bad experience with that if I look back they might be gone.
