Chapter 10 - I Promise You

"I'll never let you down. I'll always hear you out. There is nothing you can not confide. You listen when I speak. You make my knees go weak. And I just want you by side.. And I Promise you.."

*Riley's Point-of-View*

I slowly opened my eyes, looking around the room slowly. Pale brown walls, with ugly huge posters of flowers on the walls. A ancient TV right in front of where I was lying.. on the bed. And A nasty, ugly, brown leather couch, where somebody was curled up, snoring quietly. I covered my mouth, "Oh gawd." I whispered tears welling in my eyes, "Don't tell me I.." God. I'm such a slut. How could I let this happen? Please! Tell me how!

The person on the couch rolled over on the couch, and landed with a thump on the floor, "God damnit." a voice muttered, "That was stupid." I cracked a smile, and let a small chuckle escape through my lips. The person on the couch turned it's head to me. And I smiled at them. The man had black hair messed up and thrown all over his head. He was wearing a Asking Alexandra T-shirt and a pair of black basketball shorts.

"Zak.." I whispered. "Did we..?"

"I wouldn't let that happen." Zak replied shaking his head quickly. I smiled at him and He stood up quickly with a jump.

"How could I let myself - Oo!" I screamed grabbing my head as a throbbing headache bursted through my head. I rubbed my temples. Zak stood up walking to the bathroom - and a few minutes later. He came back with a glass of water and 2 white pills.

"Here's some aspirin." Zak whispered handing me the pills and water. I quickly took them as Zak gently sat down on the bed, "Do you have any idea what happened last night?" I shook my head slowly - feeling ashamed. I sucked in a breath as Zak shifted on the bed and crossed his legs and looked at me, "Your lucky I came along when you stumbled out of the bar. I brought you home. Simple as that." Zak smiled at me.

"How could I let myself do that?" I whispered to him putting my throbbing head in my hands. "How could I let myself go and drink and drink without feeling anything while doing it?" Zak moved around and took me in a hug as I let tears freely run down my face.

"Because you didn't know what else to do." Zak whispered, "I was an alcoholic for the longest time."

"Why?" I asked gently wiping the tears from my face with the back of my hand.

"I left you." Zak whispered taking my hand, and lifting my chin, "Every night, I'd feel horrible about myself. And my mind would fall right back to that night. The last time I saw you. The kiss I gave you, I wished I would've missed and hit your lips... Every time my head would flow into that state of mind - I'd start thinking about what could've happened. How It could've ended if I hadn't left. When it would wander there - I would break down. I'd drink a whole bottle of Whiskey in a good twenty minutes. Then, the next morning I'd swear to myself I'd never drink again. But, I would every night. Until Finally, I came to the conclusion I was never going to talk to you again. Because you left. So, I quit drinking." I looked at him - sorrow in my eyes.

"Ohmigod. Zak I - I didn't know.." I began to say, but he shook his head to shut me up.

"It was my decision. It was a good one on my account." Zak let out a soft chuckle.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"For what?" Zak replied.

"Being a bitch." I replied slowly sucking in a shaky breath.

"You were never a bitch." Zak whispered. I stayed silent and Zak leaned closer to me. And finally, his lips hit mine. A jolt of electricy was shot through my body, his soft lips morphed into mine. My mind twisted.

Man, I should've kissed him that night in the ice cream parlor.

Alright, This is late. I know that. I'm sorry. I've had complete writers block this past week and I tried to pull through it by writing this. So, I hope you like it.

And second of all.

PLEASE READ THIS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO REVIEW AND TELL ME IF THIS IS FUCKING RIGHT.

First of all. I'd like to say that my family is pretty fucked up.

1) My uncle Rickey (Who shouldn't even be classified as a uncle) is being a big BITCH. He thinks he's better than everybody when he's not. He sits around and smokes week (no joking he does) and MOOCHES OFF MY WELFARE GRANDMOTHER WHO BARELY HAS ENOUGH MONEY FOR FOOD. He skipped out on my sisters wedding because his stupid wife told him not to. And guess what his wife is? A stupid backstabbing bitch because she scratches him, screams at him, hits him over the head with pans ect. ect. the list goes on and on and on.

2) He calls me ungrateful because he thinks his dumbass wife and her dumbass slutty kids(Her daughter is fuckin' 13 and pregenet and her son is 15 and has a girlfriend who's preggo!). I was there all the time. I always came to see him. I was always there!

3) My family has given him money. Cars without making him pay. They payed his bus ticket back to michigan after he chased down his dumbass wife to South Dakota. Everytime a person in my family gives him a car - you know what he does? He goes and sells it because he thinks he'll get money out of it. Then complains that HE DOESN'T HAVE A CAR.

4) My Grandmother has heart problems, lives off welfare - but she is such a giving person she doesn't see it. My Grandfather just got out of prision a few years back. And he isn't allowed to have drugs ect. in the house. But, you know what this big bitch does? HE TAKES MOTHER FUCKIN' WEED IN THE HOUSE.

He thinks life is about him!

I was arguing with his goddamn stupid ass step-daughter and this is what the bitch said: (I copied it from facebook)

Rick:

Those idiots only run there lips Boo.. Block them. Stop thinking her ass well and I disagree on somethings and we know Maddie miss.'her mom just like I miss you. Lewis girls are fighters from birth none of us is perfect and we all make. If Maddie thinks of us how she spoke turn she has the right to feel how she wants. You have the option to block her. Now you decide if she is a postive person or negtive. Honstley she was definding her mom from the cruel things benna said. delete all those negtive comments and negtive people. If Melanie didn't love me she would be far away by now. But she is treated like a queen and makes me happy there is times She makes me hurt but my heart heals all are family she is my wife and She is a wonderful mother and grand mother. She Is not perfect and loves your crazy dad. I made mistakes in life and I learn from the. We learn fro others who act stupid. Obviously we don't want to act like those two on your page. Bena and Maddie I love you and,sabrina watch your mouth to my wife she has not even spoken to you. When I take this page to your dad then your ass is in trouble.
