Bullied: A TNS Fanfic [HIATUS]

Chapter 5

Riley's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

My eyes slowly fluttered open. I looked around and immediately knew where I was. I was in the hospital.

I could barely get up. My body was in pain. I put my hand on my cheek and felt a scartch. I looked down at my arms only to see bruises and cuts all over them. My foot was covered with cuts and it felt all crunched up. I turned to the left and saw James sitting on a chair asleep. I turned to the right and saw Chloe and my mom sitting on a couch, asleep. I slowly moved my shaking hand towards the edge of the bed and tapped James on the shoulder. My tap was so light, I bet he didn't feel it. I couldn't tap any harder, so I decided just to stay in bed.

I rested on the bed for 30 minutes, still awake. I tried to remember what happened, but I couldn't. I don't remember a thing.

After another 20 minutes, I saw Chloe starting to wake up. I tried to say her name but it came out quieter than I whisper. But she woke up anyways. She saw my eyes open and ran over to me.

"Riley! Your ok!" She smiled. I don't even know why she's here. We're not even friends anymore.

"Chloe, what are you doing here? We're not friends" I said quietly.

"Listen riley, I'm so sorry for treating you so badly. I realized that even if Emily pays me to be mean to you, I shouldn't take the money. I'd rather have a friend."

"We'll chloe I'm not just going to forgive like that. You have no idea what you've done to me, and saying sorry wont change it all. Just get out" I said as loudly as I could, but it wasn't louder than a whisper.

"F-fine!" She yelled. She slammed the door behind her. I closed my eyes again to rest, until I saw James waking up.

"J-James" I stuttered. He woke up. His eyes immediately looked at me.

"Riles oh my god your awake!!" He yelled while bring his chair closer to me and taking my bruised hand.

"W-what happened?"

"Well..you got hit by a car and It happened on the street of my house so I called the ambulance and they brought you to the hospital" he said.

"James...."

"Yeah?"

"Lie down next to me" I whispered. I really need someone to comfort me right now. Even though I can barely get up. James got up and laid down the the bed. He put his arm around me and I nestled up into his chest. He kissed my forehead and I started to fall asleep......

THE NEXT MORNING.....

"Riles wake up" James said while tapping my shoulder. I yawned and got up. Wow, my body doesn't hurt that much anymore. But my legs are killing me.

James and I got up and I started limping to the door.

"You don't have to walk you know" James smiled while scooping me up into his arms.

"Because I'll carry you" he said. I giggled a bit and we signed out of the hospital. Once we got to his car, he set my down on the front seat chair and he went to the drivers seat.

"Can you drop me off at my house?" I asked as we started the car.

"Sure" he replied. We drove back my house and by the time we got there, my body started to hurt again. I still had a few bruises and cuts. James held on to me as we walked to my doorstep.

"James"

"Yeah Riles?"

"Can I take a picture of us?" I grinned slightly at him.

"Sure...." James said while I pulled out my phone. I was about to snap the picture of us smiling until James quickly kissed my cheek when the flash went off. I looked at the picture of him kissing my cheek and turned bright red.

"It's perfect" I smiled and hugged him.

"So...I'll see you tomorrow then?" He said as I was about to leave.

"Oh...um........" I started. "Bye James" I closed the door behind me.

I ran up to my room and laid on my bed. What do I do? I can't stay in this city. I can't keep getting tormented every day. I can't keep living my life like this. I just.....I don't know.

I opened my drawer and took out a brochure for a flight to New York.

It's time for a fresh start.
