Riley in the picture above.
HAPPY 28th BIRTHDAY EVAN!!

I woke up and looked at the time, 8:00am. Shit.
I ran out real quick and see dad sitting in the couch.
"Dad, why'd didn't you wake me up?" I asked.
"You just died yesterday, your not going." he replied.
"Come on." I groaned.
"Alright, just get ready and get to the school, I'll write you a note." he got off the couch.
I walked into my room, put on some shorts, black tennis shoes, and a red t-shirt. It is warm outside, I checked the weather on my phone. I brushed my teeth and hair in a good form. I walked out and grabbed a pop tart.
"Alright here you go." he handed me a piece of paper with an excuse.
"Thanks bye." I mumbled with food in my mouth.
"Oh happy 43 birthday!" I paused at the door, he winked at me.
I walked out to the car, got in, finished the pop tart. I drove to the school.

I drove into a empty parking spot, and got out. I grabbed my back and note, then walked into the school. I walked to the main office and handed the teacher the note, then went to my locker, I grabbed a several books and shoved my book bag in there too. I walked to 1st period, school had started like 10 min ago. I walked in.
"Oh hey Jaxon, have a seat." The teacher told me to. I walked over and sat next to Riley. I realize Kevin wasn't here.
"Where's Kevin?" I whispered to Riley.
"I don't know." she shrugged.

When school was over, I was walking with Riley.
"I guess this is the last day to be with me." I told her.
"What why?" She looked at me.
"I've got a movie to film." I held her hands.
"Aw, when are you leaving?" She asked.
"Sunday, hopefully, but I'll be back Next Saturday." I wrapped my arms around her small body.
"I'll miss you." she looked into my eyes.
"Yeah me too." I gave her a kiss.
"Well, I'll see you next week." she frowned.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you something." I chuckled. I have her one last hug and a kiss.
"Bye." I began to walk to the car.
"Love you!" She shouted. I got in the car and drove away.

I walked into the house and see Zoe and mom watching a movie or something.
"Hey." I said walking into my room.
I set my bookbag down, and walked over to my bed. I looked under, I pulled out my suitcase.
"Alright." I smiled. I started putting some clothes in the suitcase.
/:/
After while, I finally finished.
I wanted to go hang with Kevin.
"Hey, I'm gonna go to Kevin's." I told Zoe as she was the only person in the room.
I walked out into my car. I drove to Kevin's which was 3 blocks away.
I drove into his parents driveway, his parents are are not here because his mom is a nurse that works 24 hours and his dad is a firefighter.
I stepped on his doorstep and knocked but the door creaked open.
"Kevin?" I walked in and see b-blood all over the ground.
I covered my nose because the blood stank.
The blood trail stops in Kevin's room.
"Kev?" I heard groaning in his room.
I kicked the door open and see Kevin on the ground, bleeding from his neck and a knife in his leg.
"Oh shit dude!" I immediately took off my shirt. Blood was squirting from his neck. I covered the squirting neck with my shirt, the blood was all over my hands and shirt.
"What happen!" I yelled at him.
"Ryan..stabbed..me." he gasped for air and shut his eyes tight from the pain of his leg and neck.
"I'm loosing a lot of blood, please...call the ambulance." he pointed at his phone which looked thrown.
I immediately let go and called the ambulance.
I told them everything and they told me to keep pressure on his neck. I hung up.
I realized Kevin paused and slowly close his eyes.
"No did Kevin! Stay with me bud!" I shook his restless body.
I gave up, my friend is gone.
I let go of him, I sat against his bed on the ground. I grabbed my hair, I ignored the blood on my hands.
"I'm sorry." I felt my tears falling, and I wiped them away.
Immediately Kevin coughed up some blood.
I rushed to him and kept pressure on the blood.
"Jesus, thank god!" I was smiling, he's alive.
I heard sirens outside and some medics rushed into the room.
"I'll take care of him, I need you to go outside." the medic started to take care of him.
I walked outside.
Some cops asked me some questions, I told them everything and they let me go.
I got into my car and looked at myself in the mirror. I had blood all over me, in my hair and on my body. I started the car and drove to Riley's house.
/:/
I drove into her driveway, I knew it was safe because her parents work on the weekends.
I got out and knocked on the door. Her little brother opened the door and paused, to look at the blood I had all over me.
"Is your sister here?" I asked him.
"Yeah, um I'm just headed to my friends house." he ran to his bike and rode away.
"Preston why'd-" Riley paused and saw me, she covered her mouth.
"Oh my god are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm fine but he's not." I shed some tears.
"Come in, let's get you washed up." She grabbed my arm and dragged me into her house, in her bathroom. I took off my pants and turned on the water.
"Who got hurt?" she asked immediately.
"Kevin." I got in the shower.
"Oh my god how?" She started to tear up.
I rubbed my hair to get the blood out and washed my body.
I stepped out of the shower and put my boxers back on.
"He got stabbed my the neck and knife in his leg." I wrapped my arms around her.
"Who would do this?" She was crying in my arms.
"Ryan, that's why we're gonna payback." I whispered into her ear.
