Growing pains

flashbacks

7 hours later...
Waking up with my vision  in a huge blur reminded me of the night when I couldn't see anything but the sight of three blurred out men through the water which filled my eyes.
I saw a figure in the corner sat on a chair. I lifted my head and my vision cleared. There sat my dad.
"Your up!" Dad shouted with happiness giving me a hug. I smiled at him, realising how lucky I was to have a dad like him.
"Thank God you're okay!" He told me. We sat and I explained about the traumatic night, we shared a few more tears and hugs between us. Then I remembered two people who came last night to actually save me. My two life long friends Jaden and Simra.
"Where are they?" I asked. Dad knew who I was talking about.
"Downstairs actually." He replied.
I got up out of Bed and felt the cold beneath my feet on the wooden floor. I'm that moment i remembered from last night;the cold that shot through my body and that monster began to lift my skirt. I held onto my head as the heavy thoughts weighed it down giving me the worst headache. Reaching out to the hoodie which payed on the floor, reminded me of me reaching for my breath. Everything became a struggle. I slowly emerhed out my bedroom and down the creaky stairs. Through the doorway to the living, they stood. I picked up my pace and began running towards them. They turned and both gave me the biggest hugs.
"I love you both so much. Thank you and I'm sorry for being so selfish." I told them, once again tearing up. What can I say I'm an emotional wreck.
"Riley stop, it's our fault and I can't believe what we caused to happen." Jaden assured me.
"So your telling me you sent out 3 rapists to get me." I laughed.
"Course we did." Jaden laughed along.
Simra mostly stayed quiet and I wasn't too sure what was going through her mind.
"How's Marcus," I asked concerned.
"In hospital. He's speaking now but only lies." Jaden told me.
"Maybe he was just confused." Simra tried to argue.
"What have I missed." I asked.

Simra's p.o.v
Why would Jaden do this, I know Marcus is in the Wong but He deserves a second chance... that's why we have to keep our relationship a secret.

Simra stayed quiet once again.
"So after you went, he went to the hospital. He has broke his wrist and I think that's it. Well once he began talking again, we asked him what actually happened. He told us you pushed him." Jaden told me whilst my body froze.
"Ew what the hell And then what."
"So Simra suggested we should tell the police."
In that moment she turned her head and looked to the ground.
"Simra, why would you do that?" I questioned
"Well I was annoyed and I love I mean loved him and I suppose I was just being petty." Simra said.
" you do realise that isn't an excuse. That's a tad beyond petty. You tried to get me arrested." I yelled
"You tried to hurt my boyfriend... I mean ex boyfriend!" She yelled back.
"Simra you know she didn't. We know she didn't. That's why we're here now, to apologise not argue." Jaden shouted.
"Carry on with the story." I said
" So once Simra got to the police station she explained the story. There was already a report about you missing placed in by your dad. They had been looking for you all day. But they checked the cameras outside the local shop and there clear as daylight you saw us 4. That's when we saw that you did not push him and we were wrong about the whole thing." He explained. Simra turned around and stormed off out the house slamming the door behind her.
" what is with her." I asked concerned.
"Who knows." Jaden answered. We stayed at mine and binged most of 'friends' season 6 with many snacks and many blankets.
"Thankful for actually caring about me." I looked at Jaden
"Aww, it's okay. I'm always here."he answered
I leaned on his shoulder and eventually ended up falling asleep.
