My Best friend: Riker Lynch

Chapter 1

Amanda's POV:

        My alarm went off at 7:00 in the morning. It was Monday. Great. I got up threw some clothes and make up on and went down stairs I imagine dad is lying in bed hungover so there's no point in going up there. I heard honking from outside "Geez Amanda your so slow hurry up!" It was Riker. I looked at the clock. Oh. I guess i was late "AMANDA!" "I'm Coming!" I grabbed a banana, ran outside and got in the front seat "Take long enough?" "Calm down Rike at least i'm here now" he turned his head towards me "Yea well next time im just gonna leave" "Oh please no you wont you just love me too much, and your comlaining to me about being late and you havent even started driving yet!: " He laughed and started to drive. We got to school and went t lockers thankfully our lockers were right next to each other. Riker broke the silence "So did your dad come home drunk last night?" I scuffed "Is that even a question?" He laughed " No. I guess not".

        The day went by fast and Riker drove me home like every other day. But when I got home Is that? Yup. My dad is still home he probably skipped work, because he was so hungover. "Dad?" I called when I got inside. "Dad?! Hello?". "Will you quit your yelling I have a terrible fucking headache!". I scuffed and mumbled to myself "Maybe cause your hungover it's not the first time". "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!" I gasped and turned around "N-nothing, but I- I thought you were upstairs". "WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG!" he screamed, and then slapped me across face and kicked me i landed on a chair, but it broke now i was lying on the ground. He went outside got in his car and drove away. Then i heard the door open "Amanda? Hello are you in here I heard a lot of yelling are you ok?" It was Riker. He lived next door and I guess we were loud enough for them to hear. "Amand- Oh my God Amanda are you ok?" He bent down on the ground next to me and helped me get up. " Um yea I think so"  "Is everything else ok?" "Yea everything's fine" He looked at me confused. "Are you sure it didn't sound like eveything was ok". "No everything's fine I swear". Riker helped me get cleaned up and offered to stay with me, but I told him to go home and go to sleep. He hesitated at first but eventually decided to leave so I got  a  better ice pack than the one Riker got for me and went upstairs to my room. When I got in I locked the door so my dad couldnt come in and closed the curtains, I got into bed and tried to fall asleep, but it seemed impossible. I looked out one of my windows and saw that Riker and Rocky's lights were still on which means he was awake. I decided to text Riker.

" Hey".

"Hey. Can't fall asleep?" I let out a light laugh to myself

"No not really so why are you still up?"

" Rocky's doing last minute homework and his grunting over frustration is keeping me up :("

"haha poor Rocky" 

"Poor Rocky? He's the one keeping me up! Gosh don't you care about me anymore?"

"Haha nope sorry"

"Wow some friend..."

"Oh come on you know you love me!"

" Fine, I can't stay mad at you ;)"

"Yea I know:) believe it or not i'm starting to get tired i'll see you in the morning goodnight"

"Ok goodnight Don't be late!"
