Riley

Disaster

She paces back and forth in front of her dresser where in one of the drawers holds her favorite object.

She cant make up her mind the memories of her dad and what he did for her. I need to do this but what would happen if Leo comes in and catches me again Id be sent back to that place most likely. These thoughts are what drives her to open the top drawer and go underneath her shirts to grab the razor. Her name is Riley shes 16 shes a loner at her high school. Her body has scars from battles against herself. As she takes the razor to her arm right above the elbow where she feels the pain instantly her door opens. A little head with big brown eyes and a mop of black hair stair at her and her little brother walks in the rest of the way. Sissy youre not supposed to do that anymore Says Leo, Rileys 6 year old little brother. And youre supposed to knock before you enter she says how am I gonna explain to a 6 year old why I cut myself she thinks. He takes off out the door and down the hall mommy!! Leo yells for their step mother Leo no please dont tell her Riley takes off after him. dont tell me what says their step mother as she walks around the corner . oh umm nothing mother she stammers as she pulls Leo close to her and puts her hand over his mouth. let go of me she cut her arm mommy "Riley Leah Montgomery what have you done let me see now." "no i wont its none of your business mother" "your my daughter so yes it is my business" "NO YOUR MY STEP MOTHER NOT MY REAL MOTHER THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ORDER ME AROUND "
