Chapter 36

RILEYS POV

It's Been 3 days, and I Still Haven't left this House, nor my Room. The only time I went out of my bedroom was to shower, and that's it. My mom has been constantly yelling at me to go to school, but I'm not listening to her. My mom took my phone away so that way I wouldn't be able to Speak to Matt. I haven't got any sleep lately, I'm starting to Get Bags under My Eyes. I Hear My Mom come inside my room. She doesn't even Knock.

"Riley, there's someone here to see you." She tells me Smiling at me.

"Tell them To go away." I say.

"Riley! Just go Please." She says sighing. I stand up and Get up.

"Fine." I say. I walk downstairs, and see Nathan Sitting on the couch. What the hell is he doing here.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him. He looks at me, and looks me up and down and hi eyebrows furrowed. I probably look like Crap, but at this Point I don't care about anything.

"I just Came by to Talk to you, I haven't seen you at school recently." He Tells me. "Are you Okay?"

"What did you want to talk about?" I ask Him.

"Us. Look I feel really bad For the way I've been treating you, but I was Just mad about You and Matt, and when You were going through shit I Didn't Stop To Help you, or to be there for you like the friend I should have been and I'm really sorry." He says. I look down, and nod my head slowly.

"I forgive you. Is that all?"

He stares at me. "I want us to be friends again." He tells me. I guess We could just start over. Besides, after all the crisis I'm going through I really do Need a friend.

"Matt and I Broke up." I say out of the blue surprising Him. Nathan Stays silent, but opens his mouth to say something.

"W- why?" He stutters.

"My Mom is Stopping us from seeing each Other. She doesn't want Matt To be in my Life Anymore. She found out About everything, and now she sees Matt as the bad guy." I say.

"I'm sorry." Nathan says.

"I... just Can't believe it's Over." I say. Nathan pulls Me into A Hug, and Runs his hand through My Hair.

"Your going to Be Okay." He whispers In to my Ear.

"I'm not so sure." I say quietly Into His chest. I'm glad Nathan is here. He's the only Person I Have Now.

"I'll be here, whatever you Need. I'm here for you." He tells me. I smile at him, and Just Hug Him Again. At least I'm not completely Alone.

MATTS POV

I'm at Chelsea's House, and Her Parents aren't home. She's Just staring at me with this Look on her face that's getting me agitated.

"what?" I ask her.

"You Look different." She says.

"Different how?" I ask Her.

"You look... sad." I Stay quiet but say nothing. "Did something happen?"

"Why would you Care?" I ask Her staring her down.

"Because I still Love you." She says. "Did something happen between You and Riley?" She asks me.

"We broke up." I say starting to think about her.

"Oh, wow." I can hear the happiness in her voice which just makes my head boil, but I'm not gonna flip out on her.

"Can we just stop talking about her." I say wanting to change the subject. If I think about her too much, I won't be able to stop.

"Okay. Well, the other day, when I called you and you told me you were at the Airport, I was going to tell you something." She says.

"What's that?" I ask sighing.

"I got you a job." She says Smiling. I look up at her.

"Where at?" I ask her.

"It's not the greatest Place to Work at but I got you a job at the supermarket. It pays good money, and I think it'll be good for you."

"Uh, thanks, but how did you even get me the job right away, I didn't even apply an application, and Get interviewed."

"I know the Manager. We're close friends, and I have him a good word about you, and he trusts me, and knows I have good instincts so he decided to give you a chance. You start on Monday." She says.

Well this is good. Now I Can Earn enough Money to be able to provide for my Child, and it will definitely be a good distraction From Riley.

"Okay, which supermarket?"

"The One Next Block." She replies.

"Oh, Okay.. thanks." I say.

"It's nothing, I could tell these past few days you weren't feeling too hot so I decided to look for you." She says smiling at me.

"Well thank you." I say.

"The pleasure is all mine." She says smiling at me. I can tell she's super Happy about Riley and I Not being together anymore. I went to school today for the first time in a while, and I didn't see her there. I wish I did. I kept looking for her but I Didn't, it just Pains me not to see her. I'll find my way back to her again, I know I Will.
