How can I help you?

Chapter 21

Anna's POV
"Where do you get that?" I asked.

"Someone sent it to me." She said.

"Okay look... Its not what you think it is I swear." I said and she rolled her eyes.

The photo was of Rachel and me kissing in the store before I pushed her off.

"Riley... I tried pushing her off of me." I said and she rolled her eyes.

"A whore... is always a... whore." She whispered.

"Your calling me a whore?" I asked and we locked eyes.

"Might as well... seeing you fucking with another girl when I thought we actually had something." She said standing up.

She immediately fell back because she didn't have her brace on.

"Riley..." I said.

She grabbed her braced putting it back on.

"Riley look at me the kiss meant nothing! I tried pulling away!" I yelled blocking the door.

She knew she couldn't overpower me it was worthless for her to try that.

"Anna let me go." She said and I shook my head.

"Anna. I'm not asking again let me go!" She yelled.

"You have to listen to me I didn't mean to kiss her! You weren't there!" I yelled.

"Exactly! I wasn't there!" I yelled.

"Why do you even care?! We aren't even dating!" I yelled.

"I genuinely thought... we had... something." She whispered.

"A few hookups that's all!" I said getting frustrated.

"Riley..." I said and she rolled her eyes.

"If I was such a hook up for you then let me go." She said and I moved out the way.

She got her phone carefully running down the stairs.

After realizing what I just did I ran after her before she could reach the front door I pulled her hand.

"Riley! Wait!" I yelled pulling her back into my arms.

Looking at her she had small tears in her eyes.

"I didn't mean that." I said and she just shook her head.

"Let me go please..." she whispered.

I shook my head and she was struggling to get out of my grip.

"Riley stop struggling please..." I said and she shook her head no.

She was panicking and I didn't realize until now.

She collapsed in my arms crying.

"Hey hey... it's okay." I whispered.

I slowly took her to the ground as she was crying.

I lifted her carrying her to the couch.

"Riley, you have to trust me on this?" I asked and she didn't answer me.

"Riley look at me." I said and she was trying to calm herself down.

I guided her chin to face me.

"Do you... trust me?" I asked her.

She didn't say... all you could hear was her heavy breathing.
