Chapter Ten

*TWO WEEKS LATER*

**Riley’s POV**

It’s been two weeks since the attack. My wounds have pretty much healed. I’ve been spending a lot of time by myself in my room drawing and listening to music. I’ve also been walking everyday with Lala. Everyone has tried to get me to talk or do things but I really just want to be left alone.

**Gina’s POV*

For the last two weeks, all Riley’s done is sit in her room drawing and listening to music and taking Lala for a walk each day. I’m really worried, every time I try to talk to her, she shuts down. It’s scaring me. All I want to do is help. I just want her to talk or scream or cry, I just want her to be herself again. I want her back.

**Beau’s POV**

We’ve tried everything. Riley won’t talk. She spends all day her room unless she is walking with Lala. She won’t even come watch us film videos. She barely talks. I know its scaring Mum but I don’t know what to do anymore.

**Luke’s POV**

Riley’s drawings have been getting a lot darker since Ben attacked her. I only know this because she left one of her sketch books in the lounge. Its kind of scary. I love her but I don’t know how to help her, none of us do.

**Jai’s POV**

I’ve noticed Riley has been avoiding certain areas of the house, I don’t think anyone else has noticed. She’s so quiet. She’s not herself. I just want the old Riley back but I’m beginning to think the old Riley’s gone.

**Daniel’s POV**

I’m really worried about Riley. I know she’s hurt, I can see it in her eyes. Her locking herself in her room isn’t helping anyone, she’s trying to push everyone away. I can see how worried Gina is and I know that Beau, Luke and Jai are all worried too.

**James’ POV**

Riley and I aren’t close but I know that she’s hurting and that she is scared. Everybody is. There has been a lot said, but she’s strong she can get through this.
