Rileys POV
We got out of class and Maya and I started heading to my moms.
Maya - How do you feel?
I look at her still walking
Maya - About being back at school after what happened
Riley - I don't know, I feel weird about it. When I was in third, I swear I could still see some blood on the floor
Maya - Even though I wasn't there, I felt anxious the whole day.
Riley - Did you see the way Lucas was acting during our presentation
Maya - yeah what was that about? I thought you guys were cool
Riley - So did I.
We get to my moms shop where we do a four hour shift. We closed and got home before 8. I was exhausted. I couldn't stop thinking about Lucas though. Before I knew it, it was 6 am. I had to get up and get ready for school. Maya and I walk to school as usual and we catch up with Farkle.
Farkle - Wow Riley, you look...
Maya nudges Farkle
Farkle - Like you didn't get any sleep
Riley - Because I didn't
Farkle - Why?
Riley - I'm not sure. All I know if I want this day to be o v e r
We get into school and we all head to our lockers. As I'm walking to mine, I see Lucas walking towards me. Without hesitation, I grab his arm and take him into a closet that was close to us.
Lucas - Why'd you do that? I have to get to class
Riley - Why were you acting like that in front of everyone yesterday?
Lucas - The fact that you're actually asking me that says a lot Riley.
Riley - I'm confused Lucas. I did what I did, I'm talking about how I messed everything up. I don't know why you're upset with me
He grabs my arm, pulls up my sleeves and puts my left arm up to my face so I can see it
Lucas - This is why Riley.
Riley - It's over Lucas. I don't do that anymore.
Lucas - You're lying
Riley - Am not!
I was lying
Lucas - Riley, why are you lying to me and o yourself? This isn't normal, you need help, professional help!
Riley - I do not...
He interrupted me
Lucas - im done Riley. I can't do this anymore. I can't stand here and watch you kill yourself. I can't stand here and listen to you lie and listen to your stubbornness. I'm done looking out for you Riley. I am done.
He storms out of the closet, shutting the door behind him. I'm in here alone, I turn off the light, sit down on the floor, and start to cry. I couldn't stop, I really couldn't stop. I've been in here for like an hour and still couldn't stop.
