Chapter One:

Riley turned in her bed the next morning. She felt someone's arms wrapped around her, she groaned and opened her eyes slightly. She closed them as soon as they opened, the sun was shinning brightly. She heard an alarm go off and knew she had to be at school. She tried to get up, but the person's arm was too heavy.

"What the hell?" she mumbled.

"Good morning, sunshine." The deep voice of the person next to her spoke. He removed his arm from around her.

Riley's eyes widened and she immediately sat up as fast as she could. She looked to who was next to her. She screamed.

The man who was next to her jumped and then placed his hands over his ears.

"What's wrong Riley?" he questioned.

She stopped screaming and looked at him. "What the hell are you doing here!? Get the hell out of here!" she stood up off the bed and then glared at him.

The man raised an eyebrow and tried not to smile, but he failed.

"This is my room." He replied.

"Then what am I doing here?"

"This is your room too. We made love, last night." Her mouth opened slightly. "After I proposed. You should know this."

"Oh my fucking God!" Riley screamed, she looked down at her self and screamed once more. She was naked. She looked around, and realized this wasn't her room, and then ran to the bathroom.

Once Riley was in the bathroom she turned on the sink water and then splashed some on her face. This had to be a nightmare. She went to sleep she was in her room and alone. And she woke up in bed with her least favorite WWE Superstar. Only to reveal she had slept with him last night and was engaged to him. Engaged, she had just turned sixteen and was now supposed to get married to him. Once she finished splashing the water on her face, she looked into the mirror.

"Oh…hell…no." she didn't recognize herself. Her chestnut brown hair was short and to her shoulders, her red highlights weren't in it like it was yesterday, they were now blonde. Her heart shaped face looked more mature and her skin was smooth, no trace of any ache. Not that she had any before, just the usual unsuspected pimples and bumps. She looked at her body; she thought she may have grown an inch, and her breast looked as if they had grown from a B cup to a C. She looked to her hands and noticed that her nails appeared not to have been bitten (biting her nails was a bad habit of hers), and they were painted black. On her left hand, her ring finger was a beautiful diamond ring. She figured that asshole had given it to her. She raised an eyebrow as she noticed she had a tattoo on her arm. It was a tombstone that read In Loving Memory of Cassandra and Stephanie St. James.

She jumped as she heard a knock on the door.

"Riley, baby. Are you okay? I'm worried about you."

"I…uh…I'm fine." She spoke.

"Are you sure? I'm not convinced, don't lie to me."

"Fuck!" she yelled. She had always been a bad liar.

"Realized you were a bad liar, huh?"

"Can you leave me alone?" she asked.

"If you weren't on your period two weeks ago, I would ask you if it was that time of month."

"Haha. So funny!" Riley rolled her eyes.

"I thought so too."

"Leave me alone, gah! Don't you got somewhere to be?"

"I want to be with my fiancée."

"Then go be with her!"

"She's locked in the bathroom right now."

Riley looked down. "Oh, right. I'm not coming out!"

"Can you tell me what's wrong? Why are you acting strange?"

"Because, I don't like you!" she yelled.

The man was silent. "I'm going to go workout." The guy spoke.

"Don't care!" Riley yelled. She looked to the bathtub in the room and turned on the water to start a shower. Once the water was the right temperature, she stepped in. 'How the hell did I get in this mess, and if it is a dream…why does it seem so real?' she questioned as she began to think about what happened yesterday…when she was sixteen.

Montréal, Quebec, Canada

"Audison!"

"I'm comin' ma, damn!" The one named Audison yelled from outside her bedroom. She took her hair brush and went brushed thru her long chestnut brown hair that had red highlights in it. "And its Riley, mother!"

"Last time I checked I named you Audison and not Riley." Riley's mother said as she walked into the room and opened the door.

"Technically you did name me Riley."

"As a middle name, so let it stay in the middle." Riley's mother walked to her daughter and took the hairbrush from her. She began to brush her daughter's hair. "I don't know why you decided to get highlights in your hair."

"Mom," Riley sighed. "Why do you always criticize everything I do?"

"I'm just letting you know I don't like your highlights."

"I know, ma. You remind me constantly."

"Then don't get them again, and we won't have this problem." Riley pulled away from her mother.

"Whatever, I got school. I need to go."

"Okay, baby. Walk Cassandra to the bus stop."

Cassandra, or Cassie, was Riley's younger sister who was thirteen. Cassie was in the 8th grade and was going to be fourteen in three months. Riley was a Senior, having skipped grades 1 and 4.

"I will." Riley replied as she walked out the door.

"Riley!" Riley's mother called. Riley turned back and looked at her mom, raising an eyebrow.

"What do you want?"

"I don't want anything." She signed. "I talked to your father last night."

"My father? Please, he is not my dad. You mean your sperm donor."

"Whatever you want to call him. He's coming here for the family dinner."

"No he's not."

"Yes, he is!"

"I don't want to be around him, just because you still love him doesn't mean I have to like him."

"Riley! I have no feelings for him!"

"I find that hard to believe, you can say that, ma, but you and I both know the truth." With that said Riley left her room, again.

"Audison! Happy birthday!"

Riley laughed with her friends during her lunch period.

"Okay, so for your birthday." Her friend Jewel replied as he snapped his fingers and did his usual head movement thing. Monica, their other friend smiled and then pointed from behind Riley. Riley turned around and then smiled. Her friend, Angel, a male – despite his name being Angel, held a birthday cake with sixteen candles.

Riley smiled. "Aww, guys! Thanks!" she replied as Angel placed the cake on the table. It read: Happy Sixteenth Birthday, Riley. In the middle of it were sixteen candles. Jewel placed a lighter on the table.

"Too bad we can't light the candles." Riley replied as she picked up the lighter. "Teachers are watching, and you know we can get detention."

"Ugh, I know."

"Riley St. James, please report to the office. Riley St. James."

"What did ya do now, chica?" Angel asked in his thick Spanish accent.

"Nothing." Riley replied standing up, she placed the blue lighter in her pocket. "Ya know, it's funny how the school calls me Riley but not even my damn mother can."

Angel laughed and took Riley's hand in his. Their fingers laced and they walked hand and hand out of the cafeteria.

"She's on your case again?"

"Like always, you know her."

"Well, you got me."

"I know, I know." Riley and Angel had known each other since they were young and were best friends.

Once Angel had got Riley to the office he nodded at her. "I'll tell my mom to put the cake in the frig." Angel's mom was the lunch lady at the school.

"Alright, peace." Riley replied as she opened the office door and walked in. She heard the bell ring, meaning everyone had to get to their class.

"Audison St. James?" the police officer asked.

"Riley, please."

"Riley, I'm sorry to say but…you mother and sister got into a car accident."

"What!?" Riley asked as tears began to fall out of her eyes. "But, Cassie's at school!"

"Your mom went to pick up Cassie because she got sick, so the school thought it'd be best to send her home."

"But…I…" Riley was silent as the police officer placed a hand on her shoulder. She moved away from him. "Are they okay?"

"I will not lie to you," the officer said. "They didn't make it."

At that moment Riley sunk down to the ground.

"It was a drunk driver. They hit your mom's car head on. Your mother and sister didn't have a chance."

"No…no, this can't be happening! I…I just seen them." Riley stood up and backed away to the door. She felt the tears run down her cheeks as she opened the door and then ran out of it and down the hall into the cafeteria. She opened the door and nobody was left in the room. She went to the table where she and her friends were and noticed her cake still there. She took off the lid, and took the lighter from her pants pocket. She then lit all sixteen candles.

She looked around. "Happy birthday, Audison." She spoke clearly, a tear fell from her face and onto the cake. She didn't care though, nothing mattered.

"I wish…I wish that I could go away, a place where I can come to peace with everything!" Riley bent down and was about to blow out her candles but added; "a place that my heart desires. Somewhere where I'm happy. Please, let me be happy." She bent down and then took a deep breathe before blowing out her candles. Once the fire was no more she took the cake and then pushed it off of the table and onto the floor.

She stood up and walked numbly out of the school.

After getting off of the city bus, Riley walked down two blocks to her house. She took out her keys and opened the door. She stepped inside the place. Everything looked the same, but it would never be again – her mother or sister would never enter this house again. The house she had grown up in. She took out the lighter she had and then went to her bed room. She went into her closet and pulled out a silk dress. She took the blue lighter and lit the dress on fire.

She smiled; she wanted to cause pain and destruction. At that moment nothing else mattered, the memories that she had in that house was dead and gone. She was alone, and it would always be that way.

Riley took her other clothes from her closet and lit them too. The fire got bigger, but she didn't care, she heard her house fire alarm go off, but she just watched. After it got bigger, she moved back and got on her bed and snuggled in her covers. She hugged the teddy bear that her mother had given her when she was three.

"Soon, mommy I'll be with you and Cassie. I'm so sorry it had to end this way." Riley closed her eyes and soon passed out from the heat.
