Rileys POV:
Im in James room studing with him. He looks at me.
'You need to tell my parents about whats going on in your life'
'Why?'
'Because dont you think their wondering what happened to you yesterday? And dont you think they find it odd that your here instead of at school?'
I put my head down.
'Im managing fine'
'Ri. My family can help you! You cant keep it to yourself!'
'I dont need anyones help! Me and Emily are managing fine!'
'Really? You barely see your sister! You only see her in the morning before she leaves, and in the evening to teach her and before you go to bed! Ri you only see her twice everyday! Your meant to hang with her most of the day!'
'Thats not my fault James! You have no idea what me and Emily have been through!'
'Your right! I dont! But let us help you!'
'Im not a charity case James! I can take care of myself! I dont need your help!'
'I never said you were-'
'Save it!'
I get up and gather my things.
'Where are you going?'
'Home!'
I storm out of his room and leave the house.
I run to my appartment and let myself in slamming the door shut.
I know James is only trying to help and shouting at him like that was wrong.
I know what hes saying is true. I just cant face to believe it. Ever since they died, Ive been trying to block out the fact that I need help. That me and Emily are struggling. We barely have enough money for food and to pay the rent.
I just wish things never turned out like this.
