{Highest Ranking: #1 in Short Story} Liam Walker's life changes drastically when he watches his best friend Allison Parker get hit by a car.

This is a short story I wrote in May of 2016 as part of a thematic concentration on grief for my literature class. Hope you like it!

~COMPLETED~ Riley once had a best friend who she could trust, but that hadn't been the case for years. At 13-14 years old, Riley was held hostage in a basement before she was taken to a metal shack in the middle of nowhere. Enter Alison, Riley's old best friend. Alison has a weird mental illness that stops her from being herself and sometimes she loses herself. But that doesn't make Alison innocent. After years of being alone in a rotten metal cell by herself, Riley is forced to share her cell with a boy named Eli. Will they get out alive before Alison notices? Highest ranking: 92 in Mystery//Thriller ~~EDITING~~ **QUICK NOTE** DO NOT STEAL ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS OR THE STORY IN GENERAL. I (and my friend) OWN AND CREATED THEM. PLEASE BE A NICE PERSON AND RESPECT THAT. THANK YOU. Beginning line of the story was from a prompt from Pinterest! **IMPORTANT** This story was written by my friend and I a while back (her writing focuses more on Eli than Riley in the chapters!) Chapter Nine and on are mostly my writing so I hope you enjoy!
