☠Alec's POV☠
Monday Lunchtime
"I did what?" Sarah asked astonished, "You had all of the guys in a line and then you were giving out free lap dances," Joe said, Riley wasn't talking about anything much and I couldn't help but notice the way a guy a few tables down kept looking I've at her every five minutes, who was he? I mean he was the guy who was going to fuck Sarah, but who was he to Riley? "What else did I do? Did I humiliate myself?" Sarah asked, Joe shared a look with Dylan, "What?" Sarah asked, Riley pushed her salad around with her fork. "You started to strip, then you were like kissing every guy within five feet of you. You chugged like a whole lot of shit," Dylan says, Sarah face palms herself. "You almost fucked Toby Sameson, But Devin stopped that before it happened," Dylan said giggling, Sarah stopped what she was doing, and Riley stiffened, "I'm sorry what?" Sarah asked, "Yeah Toby Sameson almost fucked you, but Devin beat the shit out of him so it's okay," Dylan said, everything seemed to slow to a eery stop. "Riley?" Sarah asked, "Yeah," Riley said not looking up, "Can I talk to you in the corridor?" She asked, Riley nodded, "I would like that," Riley said she stood up with her lunch and chucked it in the garbage as Sarah followed behind her out of the room. Everyone was quiet when they left wandering what happened Chase was the first one to break the silence, everyone started talking again but, I didn't was wandering what it was about that Toby kid that was so bad it hurt Riley just saying his name. I should go snoop, I thought, that's a bad idea though I still need Riley to tutor me my grades are slowly getting better. Dylan stood and started to walk out where the girls left where was he going? Do I follow him? The bell made up my mind as I walked out of the cafeteria to my next class. Tiana grabbed my arm on the way out, "So what do you say about Wednesday after school?" She whispered into my ear, I shivered lightly, "My parents are home," I said, "No problem mom and dad are out of time at my place so see you there at five?" She asked, "Ummmm....Yeah sure," I grunted shaking my arm out of her grasp. She smiled then walks away her bright pink high heels clicking all the way down the hallway to her next class.
❤️Riley's POV❤️
When Sarah heard how she almost slept with Toby she looked at me shocked, and Sarah asked if we could speak alone so she followed me out of the cafeteria. "I slapped him, and punched him, and freaked the fuck out on him, Alec grabbed my wrists behind my back and held me while you laid on the bed. He tried to wipe tears from my eyes and I kicked him in the balls after that Alec carried me over his shoulder out of the house then we took everyone home and I told Alec to take me somewhere to talk alone and he did. I was going to tell him but I didn't and, well that's it." I said looking at the ground, "I'm so sorry," Sarah said grabbing my wrists, "It's not your fault you were intoxicated and he took advantage of that, but he's back now," I say, she pulled me into a hug, "I'm so sorry," I let a few tears slide over my eyes and promised myself I wouldn't cry not now, the bell rang and she followed me to our locker. Dylan met me at my locker and I bit my lip and smiled, Sarah grabbed her books quickly, and left Dylan alone with me. I started to reach for my books but, Dylan's hands on my waist slowed me he turned me and pushed me against the lockers gently, I smiled and looked at the ground, "Who's Toby?" He asked me pulling my chin up so I could look at him, "Nobody important," I said, "Are you sure?" Dylan asked wiping underneath my eyes, I lent in and stood on my tippy toes, my lips met his and they were gentle and kind. The kiss lasted for only a second and he pulled back gently, "Miss Devin and Mr Rochard, get to class," Mr. Boston said, I smiled and turned to grab my books, I felt Dylan kiss my hair one more time before he left to his class. I hurried to my class the halls were almost abandoned, a few students lingered. It was health I sat in the back corner this time, I looked out the window thinking about Toby, memories flooded into my mind, and what he done, tears started to fill and a few silent ones slipped over my eyelids, I didn't bother to wipe them away. I didn't here the bell go it was Mr. Boston who broke me of my trance, "Riley," he said tapping me on the shoulder my hand flew to my face wiping away the tears, I looked at him, "Are you okay?" He asked me, which surprised me I thought he was going to yell at me for not listening or something. "What? yeah I'm fine," I said, stacking my things on my desk, "Can you meet me in my office?" He asked, "I'm sorry what?" I asked, "Right now?" I asked, "Yes please," he said moving away and collecting a few things on his desk before strolling out of the classroom, I stood up taking that as my cue. What did I do? Am I in trouble? There were no students in the hallways I assumed Mr. Boston told them to get to class, I turned into his office he wasn't there yet but I could hear him talking to someone. The door clicked shut and I turned around to see him standing there, "Miss Devin I'm assuming your confused about why your here," Mr. Boston starts, I nod slowly, "Well you're not in trouble, I-I'm not trying to be nosy by saying this but, I saw you at health, is something wrong?" He asked, wait he pulled me out of class for this? "No nothing's wrong," I said pulling on a weak smile, everything was wrong, everything is falling apart, "I saw you and Dylan in the hallway," he said blushing I blushed as well looking down at his messy desk, he stack some papers together clearly out of his comfort zone, "Riley you are by far one of my favourite students, you always make an effort in making sure you say hi and ask how are you to each of the staff and student members here. And the past week you have yet to do this, is something wrong?" He asks me yet again, "No," I say again smiling falsely, "Is this Dylan thing a new thing that isn't right?" He asks i shake my head, "No this is good this is something, to help me cope and help me get over something someone, I like this, I like him," I say reassuring him, "Okay good, now with that out of the way," Mr. Boston says, stacking more papers and signing something, "I would like to talk to you about something that may be fragile for you," he says, "Word spreads through this school very quickly and as you probably or probably don't know, All the staff members knew about you and Toby as a couple," he says slowly, tears well up, "Mhm," I say wiping away a tear that slips over, "Well Riley he has registered for the rest of the year," Mr. Boston says, I knew it! I refuse to believe it though I don't want him back in this school, in my life, I push the chair back and stand up quickly, I stare at the wall letting tears slip over my eyelids. I am filled with anger and sadness but mostly anger, "Riley if you like I can make sure he doesn't get any classes with you." Mr. Boston offers, "I understand that this can be a hard time for you," he says, "No that's the thing with all you people, you don't understand you pretend to understand, you pretend to help me, just like I pretend to be okay to not be broken! But you know what? I'm still broken I'm still hurt, and with every little kiss, every little touch it hurts! Every single memory hurts every single three years of my life I could've spent doing something else!" I scream grabbing my books, "I'm leaving this school right now! And if I see Toby Sameson's fucking face in this school I will not be back!" I scream opening the door and leaving, I can't believe I just swore at a teacher, more tears roll their way down my face, I walk out to my car screaming when I don't have my keys. I collapse on the ground a puddle of tears, I smash my fist against the tire, "Miss Devin! Miss Devin!" I hear the secretary shout, "Wait there I'll collect your things!" She shouts rushing back into the school, I leave my books on the ground beside my car, and start sprinting, away from the school, away from here away from this school, I keep running farther and farther until I collapse with a huge cramp and that's when it hits me, the annoyingly painful pang in my chest this is what I was running away from. The hurt away from Toby, that's when it hits me the reason it hurts so bad I never allowed myself to properly grieve. I let a few tears slip over the year, but I never cried, I was in love with him from top to bottom, and then it collapsed everything did. I laid down on my side and curled up in a ball in the park grass and thought about the last day.
"Riley, Riley I really need to talk to you," Toby shouted knocking on the front door, I was placed on my bed in a ball of tears. "Riley let me in! Please! So I can tell you everything!" He screamed becoming more desperate, I slowly climbed down the stairs, "Riley Riley please," he said I heard him sob, I walked to the front door, unlocked it and slowly opened it, he rushed in to hug me, I stopped his arms, "Stop, talk," I said demandingly, "Riley, Riley it's not what you think," he said, "Not what I think? Huh? You know what I think? I think I heard a rumour Tiana, my best friend, is pregnant, I saw her leave your house that one day, her makeup was messed up, I think you have her your virginity! Is that why? Is that why you won't say it?!" I screamed tears streaming down my eyes, he didn't answer, "Answer me god dammit! Is it true?!" I screamed shoving him, "It's true," he sighed, "It's true? I hate you and you know what that day, that was the day I was going to give you mine! I love you Toby! You just ruined everything!" I screamed, "I love you Riley!" He screamed, "And you know what I refused to believe it up to this moment right now! But if was you, you were the one who stabbed me!" I screamed, "What?" He asked me, "It was you, you didn't say it for three weeks after that, you didn't come see me in the hospital, you didn't text me or call me, I don't know why you did it Toby but you did, and now now this is over," I said the lay three in a whisper tears down my cheeks, "Tiana sent me to do it, because if I didn't she would tell everybody that the baby wasn't an accident," he said looking down, "Get out!!! Get out!!! Get out!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs pushing him out the door, "Riley don't do this please? I can fix it I can fix everything," he said, "No this is to broken to fix," I said, slamming the door and locking it. I screamed, tears slid over my cheeks again, "Riley please, Riley don't do this I still love you I'll deal with Tiana I'll do anything," he sighed, "Toby get out! Get out! What kind of boyfriend tries to kill his girlfriend?! What kind of boyfriend lies about a baby?! About his virginity?! Get the hell out of my life!!!!" I screamed running up to my room, and slamming the door and window I heard his sobs. Why? Why? Why?
*End of flashback*
I remember the pang in my chest for days after that, the screaming in my sleep, it hurt so much. I traced my finger over the small scar left on my side, every time I touched it I remembered that day, I cried out some more.
I got on my runners and tied my hair up, stuck my head phone in my ears and started running I ran all the way down to the woods and into it running through the trail I had made down to the creek where I could get some water it was about 3 and a half miles from my house. I cupped my hands and slurped up the water, I was parched, I saw somethings move from the corner of my eye, I looked up nobody was there. When I turned back to the water i saw a person in all black racing towards me, I stood up and tried to kick them instead their long arms grabbed my waist and something plunged into my flesh, I screamed at the top of my lungs the person left in a rush, the small knife still stuck into my side as I was dropped to the ground, I pulled it out and placed my hand on top of it, I screamed I was slowly feeling tired and my eyes started to close I grabbed my phone with my bloody hand and called nine one one, "Hello nine one one what's the emergency?" A lady asked, "Ambulance been stabbed by the creek," I said, before my eyes closed and my head touched the ground. Everything was black and I knew I would die, and that was okay with me, everything has been confusing with Toby lately. I woke up the next day in pain there was a bright white light, I heard a beeping beside me my side hurt so bad, "Oh my god Riley!" Mom screamed grabbing my arm, she had a tissue and had been crying so had dad I could tell. "What happened to me?" I asked in a croaky voice, I was so thirsty, "You were attacked, stabbed in the side," dad says, "Unfortunately the guy was wearing gloves so the police have no leads," dad says looking angrily, Right I was stabbed by a man in black, were they following me? No one but me knows that path and Toby of course, after some food I was informed that I could go home in a couple weeks but, no sports for a month or so after that, she said I was lucky that I called the police. And that they could find me, after I was let out of the hospital Toby barely talked to me except for in school that was weird. And then in December everything fell apart that's when we broke up, December 12.
*End of flashback*
I cried some more before the pain was slowly and very painfully subsiding, "Riley! Riley! Where could she have gone?" I hear someone yell, I slowly shut my eyes and fell asleep in the warm grass.
***
I woke in the morning as usual not looking hot at all, and in pain AF. "Young lady you have some explaining to do," Dad said my eyes opened and I saw mom and dad sitting on my day bed, "Jeff," mom hit dad, "Calm down for chrissakes can't you tell we already know exactly what this is about," mom said, "I don't care she skipped classes, left her car and purse and everything at school, she swore at a teacher and ran away we had no idea where she was and we find her in a field passed out. Does that not deserve some kind of a explanation?" Dad asks mom getting angry, my mind refreshes with the events and the pain in my chest slowly returns, "Toby's back," I say, "What?!" Dad asks standing up, "Jeff calm down not in front of her," mom says motioning to me, "I swore that if I saw that prick again I would murder him!" Dad shouts scaring me, "Jeffry listen to me she's fragile let's go downstairs!" Mom shouts, tears slide down my face, "If you see that damn boy again if he even places his finger on you you let me know and I will deal with him!" Dad shouts, pointing his finger at me as mom pushes him out of the room, "Riley go back to bed we took the day off," mom says when dad leaves she slowly closes the door, I lay back in my bed, crying begging the pain to stop, "Riley?" His voice scares me and I wipe the tears away from my eyes quickly, I turn away, "Riley are you okay?" He asks again his voice worried, I walk over to the day bed and grab the top of the window, "Riley don't I just-I just want to help," Alec says, I look up and climb out the window, jump across the ledge and into Alec's arms, I sob into him, "No I'm not okay," I whisper into his shirt, his shirt getting wet, "Riley tell me what's wrong," he says, "No I'm not ready," I say, "Will I get to know one day?" He asks, "Maybe," I say, the pain in my chest is slowly dissolving with something warm and fuzzy and I like it better, "Alec I-I had a boyfriend once," I say I can tell him the bare minimum, "And I loved him with all my heart, and I believed he loved me, that's what he told me, well then he cheated on me and he did something horrible to me, and I'll never forgive him," I say, "And now that boy is coming back," I say sobbing again, his hand runs down my hair petting it, "It's okay Riley I won't let him hurt you," Alec says, "But you need to give me a name," Alec adds, "Toby Sameson," I say sobbing into his chest harder just by saying his name. "Toby Sameson won't come with in five feet of you I promise," Alec says holding out his pinky, I lock mine in with his, and our thumbs touch. After more than half and hour of us just standing there I break apart, "This is the second time I've wet your shirt," I say, "Whatevs I don't mind," Alec says, "As long as you feel a little bit better," he adds, I nod and then leave awkwardly. I have somewhere I have to go, I change into fresh jeans and a t-shirt before grabbing my purse and keys that mom brought home for me, and running out to my car. "Where the hell do you think your going?!" Dad shouts, "Jeff stop! She's free to do what she wants!" Mom shouts grabbing his arm, I start the car and leave without a word, and drive to the school, there are still cars here and it's 2:30 the last half hour before schools out. "Hi Riley how are you dear?" The reception says, "Not very good," I say, her enthusiastic smile fades, "Is Mr. Boston busy? I would like to speak with him" I say, "He is just in a classroom but if you wait in his office he will be right there," the lady says, I walk to his office and sit in the opposite chair in which I freaked out on him in. He walks in a moment later closing the door, "Miss Devin hi," he says I walk up to him and hug him, he stands awkwardly for a moment before he sighs and hugs me back, "Mr. Boston sir, I just want to say how very sorry I am about the other day, it's a struggle because well as you know we were very close, and-" "Miss Devin I do not accept your apology," he says

"What?"

"I understand the way you feel, and I'm going to let you in on a secret I know he did that to you," Mr. Boston says motioning to my stomach, "What?" I ask astonished, why didn't he say anything to the police? "Why didn't you tell the police?!" I shout, anger and emotional pain filling me, "Because your folks told me not, well your dad did anyways," Mr. Boston said, I needed help I needed some type of lead to know who did this to me. "Well anyways if you don't accept my apology I have things to do," I say, "Riley," Mr. Boston says, "Yes?" I ask as I push the chair in, "You probably won't go and that's fine but, this group has some really good tips on grieving of course everyone grieves differently, at least check the website out," Mr. Boston says handing me a card I look at it, "I'll try it thanks," I say nodding appreciatively, I walk out of the room and back out to my car. I park in the driveway and run into the house, "How could you?!" I scream at my dad, "What?" Dad asks, "Riley Mary Devin you will not speak to me in that tone," Dad says sternly, "I'm sorry that you just happened to know who the attacker was and how Mr Boston just happened to know to and how you told him not to tell!" I shout again, "Riley!" Mom says, "Stop it!" She yells at me, "What did you know about this too?" I ask her, "Know about what?" Mom asks confused, "Dad knew that Toby Sameson was the man who stabbed me, Mr. Boston knew as well, but dad told him not to tell the police!" I shout, "Jeff?" Mom asks, "I did it to protect our job," Dad says, "Are you fucking kidding me right now?!" I yell, "Language Riley!" Dad shouts, and without any sort of warning I feel a hand slap my face hard and I'm left with my face stinging, my hand reaches up to my face, "Jeffrey!" Mom screams running over to me, and grabbing me, "Get out," mom says pointing towards the door, "What?" Dad asks, "Get out of my house!" Mom shouts, "Judy you can't do this!" Dad shouts, "I can and I will, please leave for a little while," mom says softly, "Go up to your room, I'll be up in a second," mom says kissing my fore head I walk upstairs and into my room closing the door, what is happening to our happy little family? Tears slip over my eyelids, I hear muttering downstairs, "Judy it was an accident!" Dad shouts, "Sleeping with a co-worker is not a accident!" Mom shouts, "And I tried I tried so hard to forget about it, I did, but I can't forget about it, I knew things were different, I just can't let this go on!" Mom shouts her voice cracking on the last two words, "Judy we can fix this move past it, i know we can, and I'm sorry so sorry," dad says, "Don't touch me!" Mom shouts, I hear slapping against skin, "Get out!" Mom shouts, "Jud-" "Get the fuck out of my house!!" Mom screams, I hear the door slam close and a car drive away, mom collapses on the floor in a pile, I open my door and quietly wander downstairs mom is in a pile laying on the floor sobbing, "Mom," I say grabbing her in a hug, "It's over Riles it's over," mom says, and that confirms it I start to tear up and sob with her, "He slept with his co-worker she's pregnant, he slapped me, and you I tried making everything okay but it's not, it's over," Mom says, "I'll be filing a divorce in the morning," mom says, "Mom I'm so sorry," I say, "But right now I need to go upstairs to my room and grieve and get his things packed, would you mind picking up the kids?" She asks me standing and wiping away tears she's so strong, "No not at all I'll pick them up," I say she grabs a bottle of wine and a glass, then walks upstairs smiling at me, her smiles broken. I grab my keys and head out the door, I grab the kids car seats and stick them in the back. "Mark! Markus!" I shout he finally looks up and notices me, "Riles I told you not to call me my full name at school," Mark says groaning as he gets in the car, "Listen Mark mom is having a tough time right now so you need to let her be when you get home come to me okay?" I ask him, "Okay," he says sighing, "Did Gran and Gramps die?" He asks worriedly, "No Gran and Gramps are just fine," I say, "Okay good," he says wiping his forehead, "You wait in the car okay?" I ask him, he nods I jump out and run inside to pick up Ava I come back out giving her the same speech but I doubt she understands. We get in the house and everyone separates to their rooms, I walk into moms room knocking on the door softly before going in, "Mom how are you?" I ask her, "Oh I'm doing fine," She says, I know she's not but I choose to just leave her be, "I'll bring up some heated lasagna at five let me know if you need anything, I say, she nods and I leave closing the door. I wander into my room and keep my door open, "Are you okay?" I jump and scream, "Alec!" I scream, "No everything just got into a bigger mess," I say collapsing on to my bed, "Well what happened?" He asked me, "Can I trust you?" I ask him, "With anything," he says smiling laying on the bed beside me, we both lay on our sides, "I didn't give you the real story Alec, about Toby and I, and I really need to tell you," I say, "Of course," he says he looks really serious right now, I start from the start the very start. Our grade 8 crushing and I tell him every single detail right to the end I tell him about the stabbing and who it was, I tell him every single thing I do is a memory of Toby. I tell him that I was in utter and complete love with him.

🙃She finally told him! Good bad? Idk I hope you enjoyed the full story finally🙃
