This is short....but then all of these will be because I kind of split the song lyrics into chapter titles and so there are going to be a lot more chapters then there needs to be lol

Oh right, well, my cousin is doing well, and I've moved! So, that kind of helped inspire me XP What else is a 10 hour car ride for? And, my cousin might even be moving to Ohio soon to be with us!
So, good stuff considering the situation :D

Thanks for you're lovely support and I really really love you all and I don't even know you lol
But really, it means a ton that you can care about someone you don't even know, and after one silly little crappily done story, so thanks again


"Ben, I think today is Riley's birthday."

Riley slammed his hand into the steering wheel. He was sitting in his car outside of his crappy barely-lived in icky apartment. It felt like the mansion was him home now. Well, was his home. Stupid Ben.

He was a little surprised he'd gotten to his place safely considering how fast tears were falling from his eyes. They were making everything annoying blurry. Like when Ben used to lick his fingers before wiping them on his glasses just to make Riley angry. NO! Enough about Ben!

"Ugh! How could I have been so stupid?" Riley asked the air. It just made his mood worse when the air didn't reply. "Of course once we found the treasure I would be pushed even farther back on his list of priorities! What did I expect, that for once someone wouldn't use me and dump me?"

The air still didn't reply to his little rant and with an angry yell Riley got out and slammed the door of his precious car.

"What the hell did I expect?" He repeated quietly, losing all of his energy and slumping to the gross ground. "I've wasted too much time getting my hopes up."

Ben sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He watched silently as Abigail paced back and forth while talking on the phone. Her words weren't registering in Ben's history-warped brain. All he was thinking about was the fact that his friend had practically just walked out of his life. His best friend had left.

The sad thing was it would have taken him an hour to think of what was wrong with Riley had Abigail not told him. After her softly spoken words he'd run inside to look at the calendar. Right there, in Riley's messy handwriting, was the reminder, surrounded by stupid little balloons that didn't even look like balloons. Riley's artistic talent still needed to develop.

Before Ben had always known that he never really hung out or even talked to Riley since the treasure finding, but before he'd made excuses. Oh sure the interviews and museum parties were important, but not as much as Riley. Now, he realized what an idiot he'd been, but it was too late now.

He'd wasted so much time at parties and museums Riley would never talk to him again. Ever.


Should be updated soon because I have the next chapter written already. Please review so I know you still care though!
