A/N : Just so you guys know, Riker's Christmas Wish and In Love With A Warbler are now up. Also, I feel like this story is moving really slow, and that's because I had no idea where I was going, but I do now, so...


Chapter 11

The next day...

Jeff POV

I nudged Riker a little, trying to wake him up. I got him to wake up, but he sat up and screamed.

"You ok?" I asked.

He covered his face with his hands, and sighed.

"Riker?"

"I don't know what to do anymore..."

"Go ask mom and dad about the scholarship."

"No... I just can't..."

"Riker-"

"Leave me alone."

Riker got out of bed, and walked out the door. I don't know what's wrong with him.

"Should we go after him?" Nick asked.

"No. Let him have some time... I don't know what's wrong."

Riker POV

I went outside, and sat on one of the benches. I feel so many things at once. And I don't know what to do. It's like I'm trapped inside myself.

Later...

Riker POV

I'd packed up all my stuff. I needed to catch my flight back home. I made sure I had my scholarship papers to show mom and dad. I was feeling a little better than I was before. 

Nick had driven me and Jeff to the airport.

"So you're going to ask mom and dad, right?" Jeff asked.

"Yes."

"Promise?"

"I promise, I will."

"Ok, good."

I hugged him tightly.

"Can you come back next weekend to visit?" Jeff asked.

"I don't know. I'll ask mom and dad."

"Ok... Try not to worry about school. Distract yourself with music."

"Ok, but you need to distract yourself from cutting. Nothing that Sebastian guy said is true, alright?"

"Are you going to tell mom and dad about my cuts? They're going to be so mad at me!"

"I won't tell them this time, but if you do it again, I'm telling."

"Fine... I guess that's fair..."

"Don't forget to text me, ok?"

"Ok, ok..."

We finally pulled away from our hug.

"Ok... I'll text you when I land..."

"Alright. Bye, Riker."

"Bye."

I got on my plane, and found my seat. I wish I could calm down a little more. I really don't want to make myself sick on the plane.

I decided to just try to fall asleep.
