James

I woke up with Riley's diary in my hand. I was going to read it last night but I stopped myself. I look at the cover and let my fingers open it.

Where do i start, the more I hear James speak the more I fall in love with him. Every time I get a message from him, I scream inside, my heart pounding. His messages are full of emotion and it is nice knowing that he cares. The more I see him the more I want to tell him how I feel but how could I?  Emily, told me he was trouble,  she is my sister, I had to listen to her. Didn't I

I put her diary down. This book is full of reasons why Riley liked me. I look at the time and realise that I need to leave for dance. I put the diary back on the top of my wardrobe and left my house, going to dance. I arrive at the studio twenty five minutes later. Emily is in baby ballet class, and Riley and West are the only two here at the minute. I go and sit next to Riley.

James: You okay?

Riley: What does it look like?

James: I take that as a no?

Riley: I don't understand, I had half of my first drink and then a second one, how can it make me feel so bad?

James: I'm glad I took the other half of you

Riley: Yeah but why?

James: You won't believe me

Riley: I will

James: I went to the bathroom and Charlie was putting pills in your drink

Riley: He wouldn't do that. You don't know Charlie

Riley

I got up leaving James on his own. How dare he blame my boyfriend of drugging me. I walked into studio B where Charlie was and I told him about James. He didn't seem to listen after I mentioned James' name. However, he followed me back into studio A and went up to James, having a go at him.

Rehearsals lasted for 12 hours today and it is now 10 p.m. I'm staying at Charlies tonight as he doesn't want me to go home alone. He is so sweet sometimes. Charlie drove us back to his house, we were chatting on the way back. Well he was moaning about James. When we went to his bedroom I told him about James in dance today

Charlie: Riley, shut up

Riley: What?

Charlie: All you do is talk about James

Riley: And?

Charlie: I don't want you to talk to him anymore

Riley: I can choose my own friends

I look down and spot something poking out from under his bed. I go and pull it out. I know it's wrong but I need to know what it is. I turn the bottle over and read the front 'pills' "you did this"

James

I'm sitting at home, texting my boys. My da and sisters are not home as they are away, which means I have the house to myself. I am replying to Eldon when I hear a knock at the door. Confused, I go down the stairs and open the door, to see Riley. Tears streaming down her eyes, a red mark on her face, a bruise on her head

Riley: You were right
