James' POV

I quickly started my car and drove around Riley's neighbourhood, but there was no sign of her. Where could she be?? Wherever she is, I'm going to find her. Fast.

I stopped my car at her house. I know she has to be home. Where else? I knocked on the door, but it was already open. Might as well just go in....

"Riley?" I yelled, but no one answered. I ran upstairs to check her room. I quickly opened the door and saw Riley sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall with her eyes half closed. She didn't take one look at me when I came in.

*WARNING MIGHT BE A LITTLE BLOODY!*

"Riles!! I've been looking everywhere for you!!" I ran to her side. I took one look around her and saw giant cuts on her arm. And I mean HUGE slices right through her arm. And not just on of them, both of them. I almost stopped breathing when I saw them.

"Oh my god Riley you cutted?! I didn't think the bullying was this bad!! We need to get help!!" I yelled while gently taking her arm.

"I....my life is over James. I lost you as a friend, everyone hates me, and I'm......" Her voice faded and before she could continue she fell into my arms And her eyes slowly closed. I immediately shook her back to reality stopping her from dying.

"Riles no don't die!!! I'm gonna get you to the hospital fast!" I yelled with fear in my voice. I quickly scooped her up and layed her down in front seat of the car. She whimpered a lot on the way there in a painful way. I kept telling her to stay awake before we got to the hospital.

Once we arrived there, the doctor took her in to see her. The doctor also said that I can leave for an hour so I decided to go back to Riley's house to see if there was anything I could bring her.

When I got to her house, I quickly ran up to her room and wandered around a bit. I didn't see see anything until...

*BLEEP BLEEP* I heard from her laptop. I turned it on to see what it said. It was a Facebook message.

Beth: "Riley why aren't you replying are you too busy killing yourself

Beth- "hopefully yes! You should have died MONTHS ago"

Beth- "Loser"

Beth: "Looks like James is mine now"

Oh my god! I can't believe this. I didn't know things were this bad! I need to help Riley, she's probably been going through this for months. I need to set things straight.

West's POV

We were all rehearsing the routine, but there's no sign of Riley. Where is she?

"Has anyone seen the Buzzkill?" Stephanie yelled. Everyone nodded.

"Of corse she's late, she's never dedicated to dance anyways" Emily whispered to herself, but she said it loud enough so people could hear. I really don't think bullying Riley is a good idea. I mean, I don't think she's going to take it any longer. But I have to continue treating her badly. Firstly because Stephanie is paying me, secondly because if I don't, the E-Girls are gonna get me out of the studio.

"Beth!! Fill in for Riley" Emily directed Beth. She usually stays in studio A to watch us. But before we started, James walked in looking furious. REALLY furious. All heads turned to him.

"Well, isn't it my dearest sister's boyfriend! Why did you come here? To flirt with all the girls"'Emily smirked. He ignored her and walked over to Beth. As he walked, Beth's smile grew bigger. But James' face became angier.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!" He yelled right in Beth's face. This is gonna be interesting.

"What Are you talking about Jamesy?" She said flirtatiously, but James got worse.

"YOU HURT RILEY'S FEELING ON FACEBOOK! THANKS TO YOU SHE CUTTED AND NOW SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL!" He snapped. But all Beth did was twirl her hair.

"We'll I'm sorry James but its her fault for being an idiot..." She faded her voice. James clenched his fists and just as he was about to punch her I stopped him.

"James, dude, you can't punch a girl!" I tried to say it in the nicest way possible so he wouldn't get mad. He stood there for a second and gave Beth a dirty look.

"Your going to pay for what you did, not just Beth, ALL of you! Do you even care about how Riley feels??"

"Why should we?? She humiliated us!!" Stephanie yelled.

"It doesn't mean you should torment her!! Your treating her like a piece of dirt!! Do you even are that your own sister is in the hospital?!" He turned to Emily. She glared at him.

"Well, why does it matter?? She didn't shoot herself or something. She in fact does deserve a few cuts. It's not going to kill her" she rolled her eyes. I didn't know she was this mean.

"It's not just 'a few cuts'! She almost cut her arm off!! She doesn't have her parents, or a sister to support her! Do you ever thin about that??" She just stared at him blankly with one eyebrow up.

"You know what, I'm glad I was pulled from the studio! I don't want to be in a studio filled with horrible bullies. I thought you guys were my friends. And I feel bad that Riley has to stay here hearing all these negative thoughts." He walked out of the studio slamming the door. We just stood there. Until Emily spoke up.

"Places everyone!" She snapped as everyone got into positions and started the routine. I wasn't even paying attention to dancing. I was thinking about what just happened.

James' POV

I cannot believe them. They make me sick! Why did I ever think they were good people? I will NEVER forgive them for this. EVER.
