Trust me... - Riggs story

8

I leave the house without telling anyone, and I make my way to the trailer.

I knock on the door and he answers. I walk in and sit down.
"Why do I have to move?" I ask sadly. He sighs and looks down. "And why do you care about what happens to me anyway?"

"What's up?" He asks sitting across from me.
"What the do you think is up with me?" I rudely say.

We talk about stuff for a while and Riggs gets a phone call. He answers it.
"Hello?" He says leaning back in the chair. "Yeah, she's with me." I look at him. "What..?"

Um, okay?

"Are you sure?"

Getting slightly worried.

"I'll tell her now." He sighs looking miserable.

Ah, shit.

"What's up?" I ask worried. He just looks at me and pulls his hair back. "Riggs?" He looks down and takes a deep breath.

"Okay. So, you know your dad?" He starts and I nod. "He died of a car crash?"
"Yeah, why?"
"He.. he didn't die of a car crash." I stare at him, scared of what he is going to say next. "He, uh, got murdered."

I almost forget how to breath and I feel tears forming in my eyes.
"N-No, he didn't." I panic. "He died in a car crash." I raise my voice a little.

My heart breaks in two. Again. It always does.

"Hey.."
"NO!" I shout. I break down in tears.

He puts his arm around me and I hug him.
"Why does this always happen?" I ask sobbing. "W-When I think something is okay, it gets ruined. The people who I c-care about the most, just get taken away from me."

He hugs me tighter.

Time skipped:

I sit there, daydreaming. I'm sure we haven't spoke in like 3 hours.

"Who killed him?" I ask randomly.
"We should go down to the office, maybe?" He asks and I nod.

We get to the offices and I sit down in Avery's office, with Riggs and Rog is here.
"So, who killed him?" I ask putting my head in my hand.

"A guy called Richard Lee, he's 46 and we're gonna try and find him." Avery says. I nod.

I'm sick of life.

I go back to Rog's place and I just stay in my room and cry.

I wake up in Riggs' trailer. I look around confused, seeing two guys in here. I recognise one, but it's too dark to see who it is.

I look to the corner, and I see Riggs. He's covered in blood.
"Riggs?" I ask. " Riggs!" I shout. I try and move but I can't.

The guy who I recognise laughs. He turns around into the moonlight.

My stepdad.

"Is he okay?!" I yell trying to move. He doesn't answer. "Please! I need to make sure he's okay!" He just laughs again.

I look at the man next to him. He looks like Riggs a little.
"Who is he?" I ask my stepdad.
"The man whose going to kill you." He evilly says.

The random man pulls out a knife.
"No, no, no, no!" I shout. "Please!" He comes closer and closer. "Riggs, help!" I scream. He stops and looks at me.

He only has like... half a face. Some skin falling off. It's disgusting. He smiles and pierces the sharp knife into my skin.

"Lexie, wake up!" Trish says shaking me. I jump up and I my face is all wet from tears.

I look at Trish and Roger.
"Are you okay?" Trish asks.
"Yeah.." I manage to say. "W-What time is it?" I ask.
"5:00am." Roger answers. I nod and I lay back down.

They leave me and I don't go back to sleep.

Thoughts about dad flood my mind.

He was fucking murdered.

I'm going to find out who did it, even if it kills me.
