Denny's P.O.V

"What the fuck are you doing get away from me Silver." I hissed stepping back

"Why? You still love me Denny...you still want me." she purred at me

The crazy bitch just smacked the lips on me. She asked me to come out to talk, try burry the hatchets from the past, clearly another lie.

"I do not still love you. And I sure as heck don't want you. What the hell made you think it was OK to do that?" I hissed at her "I am with someone else." I added

"Riley? Really? She is trash Denny and you can do better than someone like her. Come ON Denny we had good times, we can have that again...you and I. I am sorry I messed up, I love you, have never stopped." She said

"Don't you fucking dare talk about Riley like that? She is amazing with a heart of gold. Riley is better than you will ever me. I don't want or love you at all Silver, now stay the fuck away from me. You broke me Silver. I was a mess for two years until I met Riley. She made me forget about you. She showed me it is OK to let me fall for someone else even after everything you done to. I am with Riley, nothing is gonna change that." I said shaking my head, walking away

Seriously who does she think she is? I rushed in, needing to find Riley, tell her what happened cause I don't want secrets or lies with her. I looked everywhere but she was nowhere in sight.

"Mom where is Riley?" I asked

"She went back to the house, she wasn't feeling very well." She said

"OK. I am gonna go check on her." I smiled heading out

I tried her phone over and over again but she kept rejecting my call, finally turning her phone off. All of a sudden I got a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, rushing home. I rushed in, heading to the bedroom in case that is where she was, she was nowhere...she wasn't here. Where is she? What if something happened to her? With the thought of that I went into panic mode. I don't know what I would do if something happened to her. I looked around, something laying on my bed that caught my eyes. I lifted it, seeing an envelope with my name on it in Riley's handwriting. In that moment I realised what was wrong...she seen Silver kissing me. I knew what was in that envelope...she has left me. I ripped it open, reading it

Denny,

I am sorry things had to end this way in a letter but I couldn't
Face you, it would be too much. I had faith in us, I really did, guess
I was wrong to believe that cause I knew what you were like from
The moment we met. I know we never made anything official between us,
Though I thought we had something...I found myself beginning to fall in love
With you. I thought maybe you felt the same or would feel the same in time
Now I know I was wrong. I was stupid to believe that I could compete with
Her...with the history you two had. Be careful Denny, don't let her break your
Heart again, you are better than that. I am sorry we never had a chance to
See where this could go. I wish you all the best, I really do. I hope that guy
I have been seeing the last few weeks doesn't get lost again because of her.

Some things just aren't meant to be. Denny you broke my heart but even with that I can't find it in myself to hate you, we have been through a lot these last few Months. I will miss the friendship we had, think that will hurt more than anything Cause I was used to having you around.

Anyway good luck.

Riley

I sat on the edge of the bed, reading it over and over again, feeling my heart breaking as I repeated the words to myself. How can she think I would do that to her especially with Silver of all people? I could never do that Riley, not now, she means too much to me. I can't blame her thinking that way cause I wasn't exactly the most loyal, honest person when we first met. She changed that, she made me OK again, she made me find that good guy I lost after Silver destroyed me. I have lost her...no actually, no chance I am letting that happen. I don't think I would deal with losing her. I was falling in love with her, she is the first girl that has made me feel anything since Silver. My feelings for Riley were growing every second I spent with her. I needed to sort this. I don't even know when she left, have no clue where she will even be. I grabbed my phone texting her

Denny to Riley: Please baby phone me when you get this. What you seen isn't what you think, I promise. She means nothing to me. I can't lose you Riley, please? We can't give up on us cause we have barley had a chance. Xxx

I hit send before grabbing the laptop, booking the first flight to go to her. I would drive but I have been drinking and I can't wait until tomorrow to go to her. I managed to get a flight that was leaving in two hours. I grabbed my passport, calling a cab and getting to the airport as quick as I could. I paced the airport over and over again until my flight came. I grabbed my phone trying Riley again...still no answer...no text. I sent my mom a message telling her what had happened and I was on my way to Riley and she soon text back

Mom: I could kill that Silver. I hope you get it sorted son, I really do. Make sure you tell her how you really feel Denny. Let me know how it goes. Don't let her go Denny, she is good for you...she is sweet and she cares for you very much. Good luck.

Denny: I won't let her go mom I promise, she means too much to me. I am falling in love with her.

Mom: Falling? You sure you haven't already fell?

Denny: Possibly. I need to get my flight, will call you later. Love you

Mom: Ok sweetheart, love you too son. Good luck.

With that it was time to board my flight. I was sitting on the plane, agitated, my leg bouncing up and down. I was glad it was only a two hours flight. I just hope that when I arrive she will see me or I get there before she does. I arrived, grabbing a cab, giving them Riley's address. When I got there I knocked on the door over and over again, trying her phone again...with no luck. There was no lights on, maybe she wasn't home yet. I wasn't going anywhere until I see her. I took a seat at her front door and plan on staying here until she gets back. I was gonna do whatever it takes not to lose her. I was just hoping she would believe me when I told her what really happened with Silver. My heart was racing and my hands were shaking...I was an anxious mess. I will sit here all night if that is what it takes.
