Crazy Love

Chapter 8: I'm Good

*Connor's POV*

I woke up the next morning around eight to the sound of footsteps walking passed my bedroom door. I got up slowly and made my way downstairs. I stopped in the entrance of the living room to see Riley. He was sat on the couch watching an episode of Breaking Bad while eating a PopTart. I walked over and sat next to him. I didn't say anything I just watched the show with him. I knew he had school today and he should've left an hour ago but I also knew he wasn't feeling up to going to school. I wasn't going to make him go after what happened yesterday. 

"I know you just ate a poptart but do you want to go for breakfast?" I asked him.

"That would be n-" He was cut off by a knock at the door. We both looked at eachother in confusion. Who would be knocking at our door at eight in the morning. I got up to answer it.

When I opened the door and saw her face I let her right in. I was hesitant at first but then figured it'd be good for Riley to see her. When we both walked into the living room Riley was back to watching Breaking Bad. 

"Ri, Andy's here." I said and then walked away into the kitchen to let them have time alone. 

*Riley's POV*

I slowly turned around once Connor told me who was here. I was in know shape for her to see me. I'm sure my eyes were all puffy from all the crying I've been doing. My bangs weren't pushed up off my forehead today from my laziness and not wanting to do my hair. I was in gray sweatpants and a white v-neck. When I saw her face she smiled and I ran my fingers through my dark hair. 

"Hi." I smiled slightly. 

"Good morning." She said, "May I sit down?" 

"Of course." I said and leaned back onto the couch and looked up at the tv. She leaned back also and made herself comfortable. "Why did you come here?" I asked her taking my eyes off the tv to look at her. 

She looked back at me with sorrow in her eyes. She felt bad for me, "I just wanted to see how you were." 

"I'm fine." 

"Riley, I know you're not fine." She said placing her hand on my thigh. Air caught in my throat and I felt heat rise to my cheeks when she did this. She looked deep into my eyes as if she was going to find a way to fix me. To help me. 

"Shouldn't you be at school?" I asked trying to change the subject. 

"I'd rather be here with you, Riley." She said. I didn't want her here. If she was here and Trenton found out who knows what he'd do to me. 

"I think you should just go, Andy." I told her and clicked the power button on the remote making the tv screen go black. 

"I'll go if you come with me."

"Huh?" 

"Come with me." She said getting up off the couch. "Get dressed and come with me." 

"Andy, I'm really not feeling we-" 

"Come on. It'll be good for you." 

"How do you know what's good for me?" I asked her getting annoyed. 

"I don't but will you just stop stalling and go get dressed. You're coming with me." 

"But I don't w-"

"Riley, just go with her." I heard Connor say from the kitchen. 

I sighed and started to head up the stairs. I stopped on the third step when I heard Andy, "I like you with bangs." She smiled and I returned it and started back up the steps.
