Prompt: The bullying takes a turn as Riley's bully gets physical. Will Lucas be there in time to save her?
Riley Matthews laid in her bed, the sun peeping through the curtains of the bay window. Tears were streaming down her lightly tanned face and her phone was somewhere near her dresser, where she had thrown it. Buried under as many folders and hidden apps as the teen could manage was a messages app. And at the top was a set of fresh texts that would change how Riley saw herself forever.
"Go back to Rileytown, you little bitch"
"Lucas could never like anyone as useless as you"
"Maya doesn't want to be your friend, she thinks you're fat and boring"
"Just die. Nobody loves you"
Riley arrived at school that day with a smile, the same bright smile that never dulled no matter what happened. But behind that smile was a cry, a cry for help. All she wanted was for someone to notice that she wasn't okay, but that wouldn't happen. Because, you see, Riley could never admit that things weren't all rainbows and sparkles in Rileytown. No way. And although no one else could tell, three girls were watching behind Seventeen magazines and perfectly manicured hands, laughing at the brunette clutz. But Riley saw. She saw every moment.
And every second she witnessed, the closer she was to breaking down.
Lunch eventually rolled around. Alison's clique sat in the middle table and Riley's group was seated at the table next to them. Taking a deep breath, Riley plastered on a smile and tried avoiding the stereotypical mean girls, next to her.
"You okay, Peaches?" Maya touched her best friend's arm gently.
"Yeah, just a little tired. Mr. Carson gave us a lot of Math homework," the taller girl replied, not completely lying.
"Oh, okay," the blonde reluctantly rejoined the ongoing conversation about Smackle and Farkle, not completely sure that Riley was telling the truth.
Riley scooped up a pile of mashed potatoes from her lunch tray and then watched it slowly drip back down as she flipped the plastic spoon over. Her head really hurt from thinking and it took everything inside her to not fall asleep until the click of heels alerted her again. She knew it was someone from the notorious "popular" clique and she crossed her fingers that it wasn't Alison. Luckily, it was Olivia. Although, she was still a major bitch, she was the nicest out of the three girls and had almost been Maya and Riley's friend before Missy "stole" her.
"Oh! Hey, Olivia," the Matthews offspring said with as much happiness as she could muster.
"Yeah… Hey. Can I talk to you? Alone?" she added the last part as she saw Maya start to stand up with Riley, most of the time they were sort of a 2-in-1 pack.
"Yeah, of course! Is this about….. the math homework?" Riley quickly made up a lie and she knew her frenemy understood why.
"Yeah."
. . .
Once in the hallway, Olivia traded spots with Alison and soon the bully and the victim were left alone.
Bad idea.
"You actually came to school. Wow," the blonde gave a laugh, which came out as more of a cackle and flipped her perfect hair over her shoulder.
"When will you leave me alone?" Riley said, just wanting this encounter to be done with.
"When you disappear," Alison's playfulness disappeared.
"Is this because of Lucas?"
"No. I know he doesn't love you. He could never have feelings for someone that looks like… well.. that," the queen bee gestured to Riley in general.
"Wel-Well I'm not going anywhere. So you're going to have to bare with the pain that Lucas has rejected you," the bubbly brunette said, suddenly regaining her courage. Riley turned to leave and before she knew it, Alison's hand was gripping her enemy's arm… tight. "L-let go of me."
"Not until you admit that you're a nothing. Not until I see you in pain. Not until you're gone… forever."
"Stop."
"You're a stupid, cowardly, fat, ugly, useless, nobody," the emotional jabs came out quickfire.
"Stop."
The blonde grabbed Riley's arm with both hands now and pulled each in opposite directions as the brunette's skin twisted in pain.
"CHARLIE!" the mean girl called out for her brother, who struggled with bipolar disorder, and made it no secret that he liked Riley, "Have fun."
She shot a smirk in their direction before stomping off fiercely.
"Charlie, don't do this. Please. Your sister is a horrible person and she's brainwashed you. I know there's a person in there." Riley looked up at the clock, they had 20 minutes until lunch ended. Her friends were outside eating lunch and most of the teachers had substitutes because of a big school board meeting which meant that the "guest teachers" were all in the teacher's lounge since they didn't really have anything else to do.
The boy grabbed Riley by her wrists and pinned her to a red locker. He crashed himself onto her and kissed her, muffling her screams. His hands were already nearing the outline of her undergarments. Then the look in his eyes changed from lust to anger.
"Ch-Charlie…Please. Don't hurt me."
"Why Friar? Am I not good enough? Huh? ANSWER ME! AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?"
"Pl-please Charlie stop."
"Let's see if Lucas would still love you with all your bruises and scars." Before Riley could understand what he meant, she was pushed onto the ground.
The boy started taking aimless shots at Riley with his fist and eventually resulted to kicking.
"Stupid." *kick*
"Nobody." *kick*
"Bitch." *kick*
"Go die." *kick*
"No one would car-"
Riley's eyes had been closed when it happened. She was preparing for the worst but instead there was no kick. Her caramel eyes opened to see that Lucas had pinned him to a locker and was waiting for Zay to get the vice principal. When she finally came rushing down the halls she took one look at Riley and Charlie and grabbed the boy from Lucas' grasp.
"Miss Matthews. Please come with me."
"Wait. Can I just talk to Lucas for a second?"
The woman sighed, "Fine, but make it quick. And when you're done, please meet me in the office."
Riley nodded as Charlie was dragged away and Zay awkwardly went to wait outside.
"Why didn't you tell me that Charlie was bothering you."
"Well because I didn't know that he was "working" with them."
"What do you mean."
"Nothing."
"Riley…"
"Ok. Fine. Alison's been sending me these texts for weeks now and I thought it would go away. But it didn't and then she just called Charlie in and left and then I don't know anymore, Lucas."
"Give me your phone."
"What?! No."
"Give it to me."
"I deleted the texts."
"No you didn't."
"Ugh. Fine," Riley groaned as she handed over her smartphone to her crush and cringed as he went through the texts.
"When I find those girls I am going to freaking mur-"
"Lucas. Please don't do anything… just help me up."
The blonde boy grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her up but she quickly collapsed in pain.
"RILEY!"
"I'm fi-fine."
"No your not." He lifted part of her shirt up and saw a huge bruise forming that stretched across the majority of her abdomen. "Riley, you're really hurt."
"Forget it."
"Why are you so pissed at me?"
"Because… because maybe if you were paying attention to me a little more than this wouldn't have happened."
"How would I have known?! Maya's been asking you all day if you're okay and you always said yes! Why… why do you not want me to help you? You push me… you push me away and then yo-you BLAME ME for not helping you. I don't understand anymore Riley?" the Texan teen sighed and let his head rest in palms.
"Lucas…" Riley touched the boy's arm.
"What can I do? To help… I just want you to let me into your life and I want you to let me help you! Because for goodness sake I lov-I care about you…. I care about you a lot okay?"
"Can we just… can we just sit here. Can we just sit here and can you hold me and can you tell me everything will be okay please. Just for a moment."
"Of course."
"By the way Lucas. I love you too."
I hope ya'll like this because it took me so long to write. (Reminder: pictures of Alison and
