Trust me... - Riggs story

7

Someone else knocks on my door an I see who it is.
"Hi." Trish says smiling.
"Hey." I return the smile.
"Thought you might be hungry." She chuckles and lifts up a pizza box.

I laugh and I take it.
"Thank you." I say. She smiles more.
"Riggs told me about what happened." She says, her smile turning sympathetic. I look down and sigh. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine." I smile. "Riggs saved my life."

"Yeah, he did."

She leaves and I eat my pizza.

"SHOOT ME!" He screams. I step back in fear.
"No, I can't!" I sob. He points the gun to himself and pulls the trigger.

I stand there, motionless, speechless.

"NO!" I shout. I try and help him, but I can't move.

I look down at my feet to se what's wrong.
"What the fuck?" I panic. I look back at him, but he's gone.

"What...?" I feel pressure on the back of my head.
"Don't you dare move." I hear him say in my ear.

"P-Please.. don't." I beg. He laughs. An nasty, evil laugh. It sends shivers down my spine.
"You're joining me, whether you like it or not." He whispers.

I manage to turn around to look him in the eye.

I see his face. That smile he always had, was plastered across his face.

Then he pulls the trigger.

I jump up and breath heavily.
"No, no, no, no, no." I mumble. A couple of tears leave my eyes.

I get out of bed and I see the time, 3:45am.

I change into this:

I sneak out of my room and I quietly shut the front door.

I walk to the beach and the sound of the waves literally clear my mind.

I see Riggs' trailer, with lights on. I walk up to it and I knock on the door.

He opens it and he has a beer in his hand.
"Lexie, what're you doing here?" He asks confused. "It's 4am."
"I... don't know." I say looking down.

He lets me in and I sit down.
"What's wrong?" He asks groaning.
"Bad dream." I lean back and close my eyes. Before I know it, I fall asleep.

I wake up to Riggs, already awake and dressed.

We go to Roger's house.
"Where did you go?" He asks. I sigh and I go upstairs. I can't be bothered with anything.

I get dressed into this:

I walk out of the bedroom and Rianna  looks at my outfit.
"Oh, wow, that's nice." She says.
"Thanks." I smile.

I go down the stairs to see Riggs and Roger have gone. I'm guessing to work. Trish has also gone out.

Lauren: I heard about your stepdad
Lauren: I'm so sorry

Me: ❤️

Lauren: it's my fault

Me: what?

Lauren: if I would've let u stay none of this would of happened

Me: are u serious?

Lauren: ?

Me: why u making all this about u?

Lauren: I'm not

Me: you are! I've had enough of you always changing the subject to you and your life
Me: you're horrible and you call yourself a friend 😂

Lauren: I was saying sorry!

Me: you know what?
Me: piss off

Roger comes back from work and me and Rianna are sat in the kitchen.

Roger is talking about something and he's getting a packet of biscuits out the cupboard.

This guy comes in called Rj, and he wants some laundry detergent. Then, Roger goes mad about marijuana in the pack.
"Who put Mary Jane in the pack?" Roger asks holding it up.

"Rj I am very disappointed in you." Rianna says. Rj scoffs.
"You must be high right now." He replies. I chuckle at them both. "It was probably Lexie, she got arrested for shoplifting." He adds.

"Excuse me?"
"Yeah, I bet it was." Rianna smiles.
"I've only been here a day. Also, I don't like them." I get up and go to my room.

I get a text from Riggs.

Riggs: you okay today?

Me: yeh

Riggs: you sure?

Me: yeh

Riggs: also I need to talk to you about where your staying

I leave him on read.
