(A.N: Hey every one well I just wanted to say first of all Angels alive and o yeah there will be a couple of vague maybe confusing spots but they will be explained Enjoy)

Riley moved slowly through the streets of Ny trying to keep conscious knowing that she had to find

her brother. Lost in her thoughts as to why she was here she barley paid attention to her

surroundings. Her life had been pretty decent until a couple of months ago , she was trying to finish

her senior year and think about college and what she wanted to do. If she had it her way she would

be a professional photographer leading to many fights with her parents telling her not to be like he

brother and throw her life away . That was normal she hated her step dad loved her mother and just

wanted to get away. Very normal for any one over the age of the 15 until that faithful night. Riley

had just gotten home from school and as she entered the house she could her mother and Shawn

fighting but this time it was about her. Not wanting to end up in a fight she headed up to her room,

not long after ward the door slammed and her mother drove away. It wasn't for a couple hours that

Riley started to get worried, it was like a routine they would fight one would leave then come back

and everything would be normal. This time was different how ever , Riley had a horrible feeling that

something was wrong and then the phone rang. This call would change her life… it wasn't until

after the funeral that the beatings started. At first it was because he drank too much to become

numb, he blamed her because she was the cause of the fight and this ended up with Riley having a

black eye. Each time after though the beatings got worse and worse, more of her body becoming

bruised. So many times she wanted to leave but her mothers memory kept her in the house and in

turn Riley found new ways to become numb which left scars as well as bruises. Used to her step

fathers beatings she was usually able to numb herself and go on as if nothing had happened. This

time was different however and by not pleasing him… she ended up being thrown down the stairs

nearly knocking her out. Riley laid there until she was completely sure that he was asleep she

grabbed all the money she could from the bastard and headed out the door. She thank god that the

bus stop was just around the corner but every step made her dizzier and dizzier. Riley was knocked

out of her thoughts when she felt her body smack into another As her head knocked into theirs her

last thread of consciousness gave out.

Mark Cohen had been tapping all morning to see if he could find anything inspirational, well

anything to get him out of the house were Roger and Mimi were having… fun. Nothing interesting

had come up just about to give up Mark turned around to grab his camera stuff but as he started to

get up he was knocked down and his head was hurting.

" What the fuck" He mumbled to himself quickly feeling around for his glasses which had been

knocked of his head with the impact.

Looking down he realized the culprit for his major headache was a young women no older then 17

who seemed to be sporting a humongous bruise on her headed which he was pretty sure wasn't

from him. He started to worry when after a couple of moments she didn't open her eyes. He was

relieved when he felt a pulse, now the question was what to do with her. He could bring her to the

free clinic . Something in Marks gut told him that would be a bad ideal so gently picking her up he

headed to the loft were he had lived since he was 17. Half way to the building he crossed paths with

Collins and Angel .

" Collins, Angel" Mark called

Both who had been walking a couple paces turned around with smiles on their faces which quickly

turned to frowns when they saw Mark.

" Is she ok" Angel asked quickly walking over to Mark

" I think so she just passed out" Mark said

" What happened" Collins asked

" Well I was filming and she knocked into me and when I finally saw her she was out I'm bringing

her to the loft" Mark said

" Well come on then the quicker we get there the quicker we can see what she needs" Angel said

Nothing was said after that as the 3 walked to the loft while the unconscious girl remained silent. It

took 10 minuets but they finally got there to the loft which was empty meaning Roger had left to go

with Mimi. Gently laying her on the couch Mark quickly got something to put on her head, it

seemed the cold cloth roused her a little and she opened her eyes which turned out to be a beautiful

emerald color. The filmmaker and girl just looked at each other for a couple of minuets until Angel

broke the silence.

" You ok hinny" Angel asked

" Yeah but my head hurts where am I and how did I get her" The girl asked trying to be calm but her

fright seemed to show through her eyes.

" Well your in the city in Marks and Rogers loft and you're here because you and Mark bumped

heads" Collins said matter of factly

" O" the girl said

As Mark looked at her , their was something so eerily familiar about this girl her eyes and hair she

reminded him of some one but he couldn't place it.

"What brings you here" Angel asked breaking another awkward silence

" My brother I need to find him" The girl said looking at her feet

There was more to the story but no one was will the already distraught women. She also seemed to

be done talking so Angel, Collins and I conversed quietly until the door opened and there was a

gasp of shock.

" Riley?" Roger asked from the door.
