Introduction
"Riley, in order for us to ensure it doesn't happen again, you have to tell us everything."
As you now know, my name is Riley. Riley Danielle Barnes. I am a 17 year old girl. I have brown hair that goes to the middle of my back, big brown eyes, and a perfect smile thanks to the awkward braces stage I had in the 7th grade.
One thing I've learned about life is that it isn't fair. No matter how good of a person you try to be, bad things will happen.
Thanks to the unfairness of life, I am now sitting in an interrogation room at the local police station. In front of me is a female officer, probably in her 30's. She has her blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun. Her eyes are a light shade of grey. Her lips are in a thin line, and her eyes are scrutinizing me for some sort of communication.
My mom is Alice Barnes. My dad is Ronny Barnes and my older brother is Trystan Barnes. They're sitting in the main lobby, waiting for further direction.
I don't want to talk, simple as that. Talking about it means admitting it happened. I don't want it to be true. I want to wake up from this nightmare.
"Riley. I can't help you unless you help me," the officer, Rose Brooks, tells me. "I want to help you, but I can only do so much unless you tell me what happened."
"I-I can't." I force out.
"Why's that?" She asks as she starts scribbling on her notepad.
"I'd be admitting it happened." I whisper, looking down at my hands.
"Riley, it did happen. As much as I hate the fact that it did, it was real. I need you to tell me everything from the beginning to be sure it doesn't happen again," she softly explains.
"O-okay.." I start.
And then I tell her everything.

A/N
Hi!
This is technically my second story, but my first one, The Devil's Circle, isn't complete yet. To all who have read it, thank you! I promise I'm working on the next update, but writer's block is biting me in the butt.
Anyway, I'm sorry for any errors.
I'll try to update once a week or sooner (probably on the weekend), but if I don't, I'm working on it. Be patient!
Please
