(Town)

Riley walked down the café strip; it was 5.00pm and there were no older teenagers in site. Which was just annoying, 'cause now young kids were running around her.

Riley pushed open the door to a well-known causal café, taking a seat in a booth near the back.

"Hey Riley, wazup?"

The voice was thick with a French accent. Riley looked up to see Oliver.

An average height guy with a skinny body. Lime green coloured hair and light violet eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved white turtleneck and black pants. With a black apron wrapped around his waist.

Riley just looked at him.

"You don't look to good. Wazup, something wrong?"

Oliver being the caring guy he is, sat down in the booth, across the table from Riley. He placed his order pad on the table and folded his arms lightly over the top.

"Wanna talk?"

Riley shook her head and looked down at the menu.

"Chocolate milk shake."

Riley said, her voice emotionless.

"Now I definitely know something is wrong. You usually order heaps, now tell me what is up?"

Riley sent Oliver a glare and slouched back in her chair.

"I'm just not that hungry."

She sneered.

Oliver raised an eyebrow and sighed.

"Least you still have your attitude. That's one good thing…ok maybe not."

Riley sent Oliver a look before folding her arms across her chest.

"Riley seriously, your cheeks are red and your eyes a little to. What's wrong."

"Nothing."

Riley grumbled.

Oliver sent her a look.

"What ever, wait here I'll be right back."

Oliver quickly got up and disappeared into the kitchen. He returned a little later with out his apron, but he had a black leather jacket on.

"Come on, let's go, you need some cheering up."

Riley just looked angrily at him.

Oliver laughed and grabbed her by the upper arm.

"My shift is over, so come on, you can party with me."

Riley allowed Oliver to drag her out of the Café. She didn't feel emotionally stable, so maybe a few drinks and sitting around would help.

Riley slid into Oliver's car, a fancy metallic orange, Mazda MX5 convertible. Oliver got in and turned the car on, he put the roof down and pushed the music on.

Nickel Back, how you remind me, blared through the speakers as they drove out of the parking lot.

"So what have you guys been doing? It's been weeks since you have visited the café."

"Nothing."

"Interesting, Ma Mere has been asking about you, wondering when you will come see her again at the hair salon."

"Dunno."

"Right I'll tell her that, how's Eric?"

"Fine."

"Tyomi?"

"Ok."

"Nothing new."

"No."

Oliver frowned in thought as they drove up the only hill in town.

"Where are we going?"

"Dunno, heard this guy is throwing a party."

Riley groaned as Tala's place came into view, the driveway packed with cars.

Oliver parked the car and they got out. Riley slowly walked after Oliver around the back.

"This used to be Robert's house, lucky guy."

Riley rolled her eye.

Suddenly the large yard came into view, it's about the size of a large field, with a pool and deck close to the house and lush green grass, trees and bushes out the back.

The place was packed, 25 people in the large pool, 30 dancing around the pool and an estimated 40 more inside.

Music was blaring out into the yard from inside and alcohol was in tubs all over the place, no short supply.

"Enjoy yourself and don't get into trouble."

Oliver had to yell so Riley could hear him. He kissed her hand lightly before weaving off into the crowd.

Riley looked around; there were many people from school, but no one she talked to.

Getting tied of just standing there, Riley walked over to the alcohol tub and pulled out a beer, she opened it and quickly drunk it down, a wave of satisfaction ran through her.

She then got another and opened that, taking a sip before deciding to find a place to sit and watch drunk people make fools out of themselves.

She weaved through the crowd, pushing the drunken bimbo's that were to slow to move out of her way.

Finding that there wasn't anywhere good to sit, she made her way inside.

The music was pumping and bodies were bobbing around, reminding her of the club, only difference was the people sitting around the glass table doing cocaine.

Riley pushed through two people and accidentally tumbled into someone, spilling some of her beer onto her pants.

"Shit."

"Look who decided to show."

Riley looked up to see Tala looking down at her. A cocky smile planted on his lips, he had a visible bruise along his jaw line and cheek, plus a cut on his lip. But Riley didn't really care.

"Two words Valkov. PISS OFF!"

She growled.

"It's my house, I don't have to."

Riley sneered and turned around, disappearing into the crowd again before he could follow.

Riley weaved back outside; she quickly drank down her beer and got another one. The beer seemed to take away her frustration and feelings. She gulped down another two before getting another to hold.

Tala spotted Kai; he quickly weaved his way over to his friend.

"Having fun?"

"Not really."

Kai grumbled leaning back against the wall and closing his eyes.

"Go find a girl."

Tala suggested, scanning the crowd.

"There is many spare rooms you know."

Kai opened an eye and looked at his friend.

"I'm not like you. I don't bone any good looking girl in sight"

"I don't do that."

"Right."

"Well it's a party, you're suppose to have fun."

"I'm fine."

"Kai!"

"What!"

Tala rolled his eyes and disappeared into the crowd, quickly returning with a good-looking red head by his side.

"Cindy this is Kai, he told me he thought you looked hot, Kai this is Cindy, she thought the same."

Tala winked at Kai. Kai glared back.

"Here Cindy."

Tala pushed Cindy over to Kai.

The girl fiddled with her hands as she stood there.

"Go on, talk."

Tala stated.

"Hi, yeah my names Cindy. I go to Jura High on the other side of town, I've seen you around in town and ……….."

Cindy then started to babble on about stuff, Kai just stood there looking at her. Sending dark looks at Tala once in a while.

Tala figuring his work was done decided to go outside. He weaved through the crowd, grabbing a beer on his way out.

Later

The party had been going for 5 hours now and it was still crowded with people, more then expected.

Many were drunk and stumbling around, some were passed out and you don't want to know what was going on behind the bushes.

Tala was again outside, scooping the crowd, looking for his chance to score.

Suddenly a shout brought his attention towards the pool side table. A figure appeared over everyone's heads, as they clambered up onto the table.

Tala smirked as he saw Riley stand in front of everyone, swaying from side to side with a beer can in hand.

"H-hey, hey, l-l-listen up! YO SH-SHUT UP!"

She yelled, her drunken state making her sentences odd.

The crowd went quite as they noticed her. Riley swayed to the side and raised her beer.

"R-right, I-I would l-ike to say-y som-something."

"Shake ya booty."

Some cocky prick yelled.

Riley made a wonky hand signal like hush.

"L-later."

She replied.

"N-now, I-I'm not-t a vir-virgin!"

She shouted, absolutely out of her right state of mind.

Many guys in the crowd whistled and yelled some comments back.

Tala smirked and crossed his arms; this was going to be interesting.

"N-now I-I w-would l-like t-to t-tell Tala th-that he I-is a s-stuffed u-up p-prick w-who I-is al-also sn-obby!"

Tala laughed.

"Now I-I-I'm go-going t-o f-faint!"

Riley slurred, Tala could see her wobble more and her eyes roll back a bit.

"Shit."

Tala quickly pushed through the crowd, just as Riley fell forward. He caught her just in time, positioning her into a cradled in his arms.

The crowd around them erupted into cheers and clapped, Tala looked down at Riley whose eyes were closed and her face peaceful.

Tala sighed and turned around, walking back through the crowd, heading inside. Once inside Tala walked through the room and around the corner towards the guest bedrooms.

For some reason he carried her to one of the fancy guestrooms. He opened the door and stared at a couple making out on the bed.

"Find a new room."

He growled at them, glaring as they stumbled out of the room. Tala walked over and placed Riley lightly on the bed, he closed the door and walked back to her side.

Her usually fiery brown eyes were still closed and her white bangs were hanging around her face, making her more beautiful then she already was.

"You put on a show."

Tala mumbled as he took her boots off, so she didn't ruin the cream sheets.

His eyes ran alone her sleeping body, stopping apon her moon lit face. For no reason he lent forward and pushed her white bangs away from her eyes.

Sighing he turned to leave, but a strong hand grabbed his wrist. Tala whipped around to see Riley's half closed brown eyes staring up at him.

"Don't leave, don't leave me again."

Was all she mumbled, before her hand went limp and her eyes closed again.

Tala shook his head and turned.

"Don't leave."

Tala stopped and looked back at her, Riley's face was screwed up with fear and hurt.

"Ok, I won't, you drunken git."

Tala whispered, moving around to the other side of the bed. He took his shoes off and his shirt, leaving his under tank on, before lying down on the bed.

Tala lazily folded his arms behind his head and closed his eyes.

He went ridged, as he suddenly felt something beside him. His eyes snapped open to see Riley snug by his side, her arm draped over his chest.

Tala relaxed and closed his eyes again, slowly drifting off into a peaceful sleep.


(Morning)

Tala's eyes shot open as he heard the door open. He had been awake for the last couple of hours, but didn't want to move just in case she woke up and started to spit.

Kai's teal and light blue hair appeared, before his body entered the room. A shocked expression instantly crossed over his face, as he spotted the pair on the bed.

"I don't want to see and I don't want to know."

Kai covered his eyes and turned, he was about to walk out the room when Tala spoke up.

"Jesus man no! Nothing like that, god, she just rolled onto me."

Kai stopped and turned back, one of his eyebrows raised.

"Hmm."

Kai slowly walked over and sat down in the chair beside the bed.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Her to roll off me."

Tala grumbled, looking down at Riley, who had wound her arms around his torso more.

"Did you score last night?"

Tala asked, a smirked planted on his lips as he looked over at Kai.

"It was the only way to shut her up, she would not stop talking."

Kai stated, glaring darkly at Tala.

Tala chuckled, but instantly stopped as Riley squirmed.

"What if she lays like that all day?"

Kai mocked.

"If she does, I'll kill her!"

888888888

Faint voices started to become louder like talking. Her eyes slowly moved open, everything was foggy for awhile, but quickly become clearer.

Her head felt awful, like a hammer had hit it a couple of times. Suddenly a familiar voice made her ears adjust and her eyes focus.

Riley could see Kai talking, but he wasn't looking at her, he was focused at something above her. She suddenly realised she was hugging a broad chest that was covered by a white tank top and her head was snug against the persons arm.

Riley's eyes widened as she felt the persons chest move as he replied to Kai's question.

"OH SHIT NO!"

Riley quickly shot up and scrambled backwards, falling off the other side of the bed and landing on her back.

"Oh shit, shit, shit, no FUCK!"

Riley jumped up to see that she had the full attention of both boys. Kai was giving her a weird look and Tala was smirking.

"Morning you gracefulness."

Riley sent Tala a glare before her headache hit her full force.

"Aww."

Something in her stomach all of a sudden flipped.

"Crap."

Riley clutched her mouth as she ran to the guest bathroom. Slamming the door closed behind her.

Tala and Kai looked at each other as they heard Riley throw up.

"Well that went…..ok."

Tala got up and pulled his shirt back on, he bent down and grabbed his shoes, pulling them on to.

"Lets have breakfast."

Kai nodded and they both left the room.

later

Riley slowly opened the door to find that the guys weren't there.

She felt a bit better, but her hang over was killing her. She had had a few hangovers in her lifetime and she was a little used to them, but they still were hell to go through.

Riley was more relieved to know that she was still fully dressed, signalling that nothing went on last night.

She half walked, half stumbled over to the double bed and pulled on her shoes. She sat on the bed and looked out the window, the blinding light irritating her.

Standing up she figured to make use of being here and raid his fridge.

Riley walked down the corridor and glanced into the back room, she found out that she wasn't the only one who stayed the night.

Quickly she continued down the familiar corridor, towards the second kitchen, the one that the gang used to hang out in when they visited Robert.

Pushing open the swinging doors she walked in, instantly setting eyes on a familiar red and blue head.

Riley moaned but continued in, sitting across the island from them.

"Did you have a nice sleep?"

Kai asked, a tone in his voice that annoyed her.

"I guess."

Riley muttered, pouring a large bowl of cereal and whacking four pieces of toast in the toaster.

Tala looked at her, as she poured a large glass of milk and drank it down, before pouring the rest of the milk on her cereal.

"Do you mind not eating all my food."

He sneered.

"I'm not eating all of it and I'm hungry."

Riley growled back, grabbing the pieces of toast as they popped out of the toaster. She then quickly buttered them and applied a thin layer of vegemite.

Riley dumped the plate on the counter and sat down, while taking large bites out of her toast.

Her eyes ran between the two guys as they sat there, Kai flicking through the car section of the newspaper. Tala just glaring at her, while taking evenly timed bites out of his piece of toast.

Tala and Riley's head turned as the doors flung open and a red haired girl walked in.

"Good morning Kai-kun."

Riley could see Kai visible sink in his seat, sending dark glares at Tala, who was smirking.

"You are!?!"

Riley snapped, getting annoyed at this ditz that was standing by the fridge, looking like she was totally lost.

"Oh I'm Cindy, Kai's girlfriend."

Riley heard Kai snort and Tala chuckle.

Getting the drift and wanting to get rid of the eye saw, Riley took in a deep breath before putting on her fake friendly tone.

"Hi Cindy, I'm Riley. Would you like to hear something funny."

"What?"

"Kai was playing you he had no intention of being your boyfriend you were just a toy."

Riley said all in one breath, Cindy's eyes instantly became glazed and tears began to spring to life.

"No it can't be."

She wailed, snapping to face Kai.

"Is this true!?!"

She cried.

Kai just shrugged which caused Cindy to brake down into sobs and run out of the kitchen.

"Good riddens."

Riley muttered, taking another bit of her toast while holding her head, her headache was becoming a dead set killer.

A glass of water and a white table was pushed in front of her.

Riley looked up to see Tala looking at her.

"Takes the hangover away."

"How can I trust that it's not a seductive drug or something."

"I need to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Tala shot back, making Riley growl with annoyance. She then quickly gulped down the tablet, wanting the headache to die.


(Preview)

Riley looked away just as her foster parents crappy house came into view, a black shinny car out the front making her groan and sink into her seat.

Riley was brought viciously out of her fuming by a hard backhand across her cheek, which sent her headfirst into the wall.

She cried out in pain as her head connected with the hard concrete. Blood slowly seeped from the wound on the back of her head, oozing down her neck and gathering in her top.
