Riley's POV 

We followed the teacher into the principal's office where the principal and a guidance counselor were seated.

"Miss Matthews," the principal said. "Can you please wait out in the hall?"

"I'll be okay," Maya squeezed my hand. "Grab me a sweatshirt?"

I nodded and left, closing the door behind me.

About twenty minutes later, Maya came out.

"What happened?" I immediately sprang from my seat. 

"They're getting the police involved, they should be here soon," she said.

"Here, take this," I handed her my sweatshirt to cover up.

She was still in her bra and her wounds were still on full display.

Maya's POV

"Anything else?" Riley asked once I had put her sweatshirt on.

"I asked them to call someone," I told her.

"Who?" she questioned.

"My dad."

"Maya, why on earth would you ask them to call your dad?" she asked.

Before I could answer, the woman at the front desk called to me.

"Maya, your dad's in the office with the police officer, they're ready for you," she told me.

"Hey, dad," I said taking a seat across from the officer, next to Riley, and next to Shawn, the one I had decided was more of a dad to me and so deserved the title.

 "Hey, kid," he said not even batting an eye.

"So, Maya," the officer started making me grasp Riley's hand.

Riley squeezed my hand and gave me a small smile.

"What happened?" the officer asked.

"You can do this," she whispered so that only I could hear her.

"Um, it's complicated."
