Riker had come home a mess. His eyes were red and his hair was everywhere. He was drunk though so he was giggling a lot and being silly and messing around. But i got him to bed and ensured he drank loads of water.
The next morning I woke up to see him actually crying his eyes out.
"Riker?" I say. He didn't look at me. "Hey" I edged closer to him and wiped his tears gently.
"I'm so sorry. I walked out on you!"
"Hey, it's okay. You probably just didn't know what to say. We're okay...its been rough for us"I spotted him eyeing his draw. he took my razor blades and hid them there. I took them out and threw them away. We had to be okay. I felt weight lift of my shoulders as I threw the blood stained metal in the trash.
"Hey I'm gonna go take the kids to school" I yelled to Riker.
"Okay!" He yelled back. Ryder and Sapphire hugged him and said bye and I drove them to school. I drove Cole to. Anastasia was waiting for him. They were the best of friends. Despite being cousins. I waved at them both and drove back home.I went in and saw Rydel, Ross and Ryland.
"Hey!I say happily. They mumbled hi back. Somethings wrong.
"What's going on?" I ask slowly.
"Riker tried to do it again!" Rydel was angry, sad and scared all in one. I knew what she meant."I thought I threw them all away!" I say.
"Well you clearly didn't" she said rudely. What the fuck. I ignored her and looked around.
"Where's Riker?" I ask.
"Behind the couch" Ross said casually. "Behind the...oh my god" I looked behind the couch and there he was sitting there staring into space.
"Are you okay?" I asked. He shook his head and sighed.
"I'm gonna help you through this okay?" I say. He nodded.
"Riker do you want some hot choc-o-late?" Ryland asks. We all laughed even Riker who asked for coffee. Of course he did.Riker and his brothers went off to have some coffee while me and Rydel stayed in the living room talking.
"I hope he'll be okay..."
"Maybe you and Riker need time apart" she says. "Remember last time that happened?" I say.
"Yeah but you guys were younger. You guys have been married for 7 years! I think you need to be mature Emma" she says. I felt insulted.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"I feel like you don't care enough about him"Bitch what.
"What? Me? Not caring?" I ask.
"Yes. Emma he's not getting any better. You go on about how your going to help him. He's getting worse" she says.
"Rydel, im managing my own health and trying to take care of him too. It isnt easy. You haven't exactly checked on him"
"I know him better than anyone. You don't know how I feel" she says.
"I do. You feel shit that Riker is a mess. I do too. We both want to help" i say.
"Emma stop acting like you know everything"
"Rydel! Stop behaving like this!""Oh grow up!" She tutted.
"Just leave Rydel! Your not making anything better""Whatever"
