I was broken. I was alone all the time. My father left when I was 4. My mother worked day and night just to feed me. Was I even worth it? I've never done anything for anyone else. I never do anything important now. Honestly, I highly doubt the universe notices anything that I do. I never knew anyone who noticed me at all.
But then along came Riley Matthews.
She was so curious about the world. She was so curious about me. She was so interested to know everything about me. She asked question after question squeezing as much information out of me as she could. Normally I wouldn't tell anyone anything about my life. But Riley Matthews was different. She made me feel at least a little more than useless.
Riley and I became best friends the day we met, and we've been best friends ever since. She tells me she loves me everyday. She doesn't go anywhere without me, and her actions assure me she doesn't want to. I was broken, but Riley Matthews made me whole.
