James's POV: 

Its currently 7.30am on Sunday morning i am already ready for the day, just wearing casual clothing some jeans and a plain white v neck top and my black and white converse. I promised Riley i would meet her at 9am and i have to walk as mum and my sisters are going somewhere for the day. West, Riley, Chloe and I are all heading into town for the day by bus to chill and riles is getting her hair cut shorter. I walk dowstairs and take a seat, putting my wallet and phone into my back pocket and take my snap back off as i grab some cereal from the kitchen bench, taking a seat beside Jassy at the breakfast table. 

Riley's POV: 

So i am awake at 7.30am on Sunday morning, James will be over in an hour and a half which means i have to start to get ready if i want to look somewhat decent. I walk into my ensuite, which connects from my bedroom and take a nice cold shower to wake me up, as its kind of a hot day already. I hop out putting on some light wash pink denim jeans and a floral singlet and a blue demin jacket in case it gets cold with some black ballet flats. i walk downstairs and i hear screaming, mum screaming. 

"I dont care. I said we cant come visit." mum yells through the phone.

"Well maybe if you bothered to make an effort, we would come visit." she yells through the speaker.

"Stop it right now, and stop back chatting me. I'm sick of it." mum yells once again. 

I take a seat and pour myself some juice as Emily takes a seat beside me, giving me a side hug. We look over at mum who is still yelling then back at eachother, confusion flooding our faces. 

"who's mum talking to?" em asks in a whisper.

"i dont know i just came down here to yelling." i reply a little shocked.

We exchange sympathetic looks before we hear the door bell knock, i run to the door in anticipation that it is James. As i open the door im happy when i see his figure standing there smiling at me. 

James's POV:

I make my way to Rileys house, when as im  near her door i can hear yelling what sounds like her mum. I am a little shocked and a little confused, as riley's mum never talks loudly or is ever angry. Riley's face quickly smiled when she saw me, and she hugged me tight. No words where said, she just hugged me and i instantly knew she wasn't okay.

"what happened princess?' i ask quietly pulling away from our hug, my eyes starring at hers.

"d-d-d-dont know, we just heared mum yelling at someone on the phone." she said softly, nearly so i couldn't hear her speak.

"why dont we get your bag beautiful, and enjoy our day." i say smiling in hopes to cheer her up.

Riley smiles and we walk inside hand in hand, her mum not on the phone anymore. 

"Where are you going?" her mum asks in a harsh tone.

"Town with james west and chlo, i asked you and dad and you both said it was more than okay." riley replies back, grabbing tightly onto my hand.

I squeeze her hand as Em and i exchange looks of confusion. 

"Well i guess thats ok, what are you doing there?" her mum asks suspiciously.

Riley glances at us confused, as we are. Before she speaks up.

"Well, im going to get my hair cut and a dress for a troupe regionals win photos." riles says in reply.

Her mum is glaring at her, and i feel quite intemidated for riley.

"Who gave you money for that?" her mum asks her, voice high pitch in tone.

"Dad did, we've already been through this, you and dad both said it was perfectly fine." riley snapped. 

Riley's POV:

It goes silent, mum doesnt reply. Mum acting as if she knows nothing about my hair cut or me wanting to purchase a new dress is just crazy, her and dad both agreed  to it. I grab my little crossbody bag, and my phone off the counter bench and give emily a hug. 

"have a good day." james and i say in sync.

She smiles lovingly. "i want photos missy." em says back playfully. 

"i can arrange that." james says playfully smiling.

i give him a light nudge and em says goodbye to us as James and i walk out the door,  hand in hand as the fight with mum still replaying in my head as james and i make our way to wests.

"sorry i was early, riles." james says breaking the silence surrounding us. 

"its fine, jay." i reply not looking up.

"i was a little too early." he says giving me a kiss on the temple as we make our way to West's.
