Don't save me (Riker Lynch fanfic)

Chapter five

Isis' POV

I sit up in my bed and stretch. "Ow." I lay back down. I lift up my shirt and look at the marks on my skin. I sigh and get out of bed. I put on jeans, a red shirt, and an oversized hoodi. The hoodi goes down to my knees. I put on my red converses and go into the bathroom.

I look into mirror and see a bruise on the side of my face. I pull my hair back and try to cover up the bruise with makeup. it's still visible but not as bad. I leave the bathroom, grabbing my bag and leave for school.

Riker's POV

I get ready for school, remembering last night. I feel so guilty. I grab my bag and meet everyone in the living room. We leave for school.

I find Isis leaning against her locker. her eyes are closed. "hey." I say.

She opens her eyes and looks at me. I notice the bruise on her face. it's not as bad as I thought it would be. "I'm so sorry." I say.

"sorry for what?" Isis turns to her locker and opens it. "you didn't do anything." she pulls out a few things and puts her bag away.

"I -" "You did nothing." she cuts me off. "I fell of my bed and hit my face."

"But I saw-" she closes her locker and looks at me.

"You saw nothing. you did nothing. I fell. And now I'm walking that way." she points down the hall behind me. "to math." She walks away.

"Wrong way!"

"That way." she walks past me. I follow her to our class.

~skip two class periods~

I leave gum class which was third period. I didn't have this class with Isis. I walk into the music room and sit. I notice Isis sitting alone on the other side of the room. I see Nim and a few other girls looking at Isis. Nim says something and they laugh.

I hate them so much.

Isis' POV

I hear someone laughing. I see Nim and a few other girls looking and laughing at me. when they realize I'm watching they look away.

I look around and I notice Riker. Our eyes lock. my eyes widen and I quickly look away.

At the end of class I'm glad I didn't have to sing like a few people. I rush out of the room and to my locker. I open my locker and put my head in it.

I lift my head back up and stare into my locker. I jump when a hand touches my back. "ow." I turn to see Riker.

"That hurt?" he asks. I just stare at him. I can't tell him why it hurt. "Isis?"

I put my stuff in my bag and close my locker. "I got to go." I leave and run home. when I get to my front door I stop to breathe then go inside.

"Hey Isis." my mom says.

"Hi." I say.

"Wanna go hang out with the Lynchs later?" my mom asks.

"Um..." I can't see Riker. I just ran away from him, it would be weird. but I don't want the Lynchs to think that I don't like them... "Suurrree..."

"Ok. We're going over in thirty minutes so be ready."

I nod and go up to my room. I drop my bag and I fall on my bed, my face landing hard into my pillow. "ow." I mumble. I sit up and go to the bathroom. I cover the bruise on my face better.

I go to the kitchen and get some soda.

Thirty minutes later I'm leaving my house with my mom and walking over to the Lynch house. I grab the mail from their mailbox and we go to their front door. Stormie opens the door.
