(I'll treat you guys for a bit to Riley's POV.)
Riley's P.O.V
As I drive down the road to my house I think about Loren. He looked scared and sad when I saw him getting in the car and I wondered if it had anything to do with the girl he brought with us, what's her name, oh Arlen. No,Arlen seems nice. Although seeing her curled up against Loren, made my blood boil a bit. Why? I didnt like Loren like that. As i drove down the road and pulled into my drive way i heard Loren wake up.
"Hey," he said sleepily.
"Hi," I whispered back. "Lets go inside. My parents aren't home so we can sleep in their room.
"Okay. Ill carry Arlen inside."
we walked inside my house and Loren set Arlen on the couch and draped a blanket over her. He still looked a bit bothered.
"Loren what's wrong," I asked looking at him. He looked at me.
"What do you mean?"
"You seem different, like something's bothering you."
"Its complicated."
"Go ahead and tell me."
"Well when I got to Darren's house he looked at my cuts and scars. And I might have kissed him. So he is super mad at me. I thought he liked me but I guess Im wrong."
"Oh Loren."
"Yeah Im a mess."
"No," I said. "If he can't accepct you for who you are then hes an ass."
"Thanks."
"No worries," I said leaning into him and giving him a hug. "Im here for you."
"Right back at you," he said laying down on the floor with a blanket and falling asleep.
I laid down next to him and pulled my blanket over me. I was glad that his problem didnt have anything to do with Arlen. Right when I was about to fall asleep, Loren wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer. I smiled and finally fell into a deep comfortable sleep.
