Riley's internal POV.
....I remember screaming for help so much...that my voice gave out...I remember.....being beaten half to death by those people who kidnapped me......I remember...them telling me that....my own Family didn't love me that no one loves....That should kill myself.....They would stab me in my hand or my arm...They were originally planning to keep me there til I was sixteen....to.....do things....sexual...things to me...but luckily for me that plan was aborted....but that didn't stop from finding other ways to torture me....and they took pleasure in torturing me too....they eventually grew bored of it and left me in the Alleyway where Huey and granddad found me.....Those six days....were a living hell....I remember my emotions and the hope of someone saving me draining from me....eventually I ended up in the state I am now....
--------------------------------------------------
Huey's POV:
It was Monday....I woke up and went downstairs to the kitchen to go eat breakfast....Riley and Granddad were already down there...."Hey Granddad...Hey Riley."I said as I entered the Kitchen. "Morning Huey."Granddad said. I sat down next to Riley where I always sit and Hug Riley....he started wiggling around at first but I guessed he realized that it just me and he stopped. I went back to eating my breakfast....."Well you both have school today so-"
"Granddad...."I said cutting him off...."Yes?"Granddad asked. I stayed silent for a little..."I think Riley would be better off staying home...I mean Riley not in his right state of mind.. he was tortured for six days....and since he always gets bullied it wouldn't be a good idea to him there while he's like this. "I said to Granddad.
It got silent again....."Ok.....But someone is gonna have to watch him....it wouldn't be right leaving him here alone either..."He said to me. "I could stay here."I said. "No,no you have to go to school."Granddad said. "Granddad please..."I said. Granddad sighed..."Ok fine..."He said.
A little while after breakfast.
Granddad left to go run some more errands...so he was gonna be gone all day...I put my hand on Riley's forehead...His fever was going down but not all that much.
3:00 pm
All the other kids were just coming home from school....Riley was upstairs and I was downstairs making some snacks...Jazmine had texted me and said that her and Cindy were coming over. All of a sudden I hear the doorbell ring. I got to the front door and open it Jazmine and Cindy were standing on the Porch. "Hey Huey!"Jazmine says in her usual happy tone. "Hey."Cindy said.
"Hey girls..come in I made snacks."I said. As soon as we got into the kitchen and grabbed the snacks from off the kitchen counter and headed upstairs Jazmine asks "So Huey....You weren't at school today...are you still upset about Riley going missing?"

"Actually he's back home now...but he's just different.."I said to her. We had finally gotten upstairs and outside of the room. "Different? Like how different."Cindy asked me. I didn't say anything. I opened the door. "Riley....I got the snacks...and Cindy and Jazmine are here."I said. Riley got out of his bed and walked towards us..He looks up at us....Jazmine gasped. "Woah...The hell happened to Yung Reezey?"Cindy asked. "Hold that thought for a second...."I said to her. I turned to Riley and said "Go downstairs..."I said..he left the room. "So...what happened to Riley?"Jazmine asked. I explained everything from I found Riley passed out the alleyway to when we found out that Riley was kidnapped and tortured.
"Oh.....oh no..."Jazmine said.
"If only I didn't leave Riley here alone....Everything would be fine..Riley would be ok....But I acted like an idiot!"I yelled.

"It's not your fault Huey.."Jazmine said.

"We had a project to do...I should've called and told you to come over instead or at least taken him with me....Knowing that I'm the cause of what happened I feel so bad for putting him in danger....now look at him...he's broken."I said.

"But that doesn't mean it's your fault."Jazmine says.

"Huey......" I hear someone say...I look up and see Riley standing in the Doorway he looked sicker than before....

"Riley....What's wrong?"I asked.
"I-I...C-"He cut himself off and covered his mouth with one hand and held his stomach with the other and Darted to the bathroom....

I ran after him and Jazmine followed me...once we got there Riley was throwing up in the toilet..."Oh god that shitz smells."I said.
"I think I'm gonna be sick."Jazmine says pinching her nose.
"I can smell that shit from all the way over here!"Cindy yelled from the room. Once Riley was done I walked him to the room and made him lay down his bed...
He looked at us.... With his eyes still looking completely lifeless....and no smile....

"He gone.....He'll never be normal again..and It's all my fault for leaving him here on his own..."I said.

"Huey....please..Like I said it's not y-" 
"YES IT IS!!!!"I screamed at Jazmine cutting her off...Tears were now forming and falling down my face...too be honest....I don't think I've ever cried this much in my life...

"I'm so used to him smiling,laughing, and making stupid jokes...It's too quiet in this house now..it's actually Making me upset it's annoying....I just want him be normal again....I just want everything to go back to normal but thanks to my stupid ass It's never gonna be like that ever again!"I yelled. I gasped.....and then I laughed a little bit....
At this point both Cindy and Jazmine were both a little worried but also a bit terrified..
"No wonder why Riley hates me......He probably hates me even more now for leaving him here unattended...."I said.
Riley sits up in his bed...I turned to him...and gave him a hug..."I'm sorry....I'm so so sorry......I wished I was there to protect you...."I said to him.

Riley didn't move, he didn't blink,and he didn't say a thing.

"I just wanna see you smile again....please smile for me? Please?"I asked as I Stopped Hugging him to see if he would actually do it....but...he didn't...
"Please.....smile...?"I asked. He still looked at me with that same Blank expression on his face....I couldn't hold back anymore tears....I hugged him again and continued to cry.....
