…Chapter Eleven…
…Complete 180…

"What is it, Pogue?" she asked again, but frantically. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing would come out.

After a few minutes, he finally spoke. "Are you wearing contacts?"

"What? Contacts?"

"Go take a look at your eyes."

Riley ran into her bathroom and screamed. Pogue ran in there and shut the door and leaned on the wall, while Riley was staring at a pair of violet eyes in the mirror. "What is happening to me?" she whispered to herself, wiping away her tears with some tissue.

"Riley, what is going on?" Pogue finally asked.

"Um… I don't know." she started to sob. "I don't know what's happening to me." she really wanted to tell him about her dreams she was having, but she didn't think she'd be able to.

Pogue grabbed Riley's arm to spin her around to face him, but she had her eyes closed. He was wiping her tears away with his thumbs, with his face inches from hers.

"Open your eyes." she shook her head. "Please?" she slowly opened them and Pogue saw that they went back to her normal ice blue color. "Riley, how did your eyes turn purple?"

"I don't know… something is wrong with me."

Riley started to sob again and cried into Pogue's chest. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear. "Shh… don't cry. We'll figure this out okay?"

She looked up at him. "Please… don't tell anyone."

"I promise." she nodded, then rested her head in the crook of his neck. "This will be just between us… as long as your eyes don't change in front of anyone." she nodded again.

Fifteen minutes later, Riley was still in the bathroom in Pogue's arms. She looked up at him. "I'm sorry if I've been such a bitch to you…"

Pogue put his finger to her lips. "Shh… it's okay."

As he was about to kiss Riley, there was a knock on her door. She wiggled out of Pogue's arms to go walk over to the door, as Pogue went to go sit on her bed. Riley took a deep breath, before she opened it. "Hey, Cal… what's up?"

"Nothing much… is Pogue here by any chance?"

"Yeah, come in."

Caleb walked in and gave Pogue a weird look. "Uh, last time I checked, the both of you were about to probably kill each other. What's going on?"

"Nothing." she shook her head. "Me and Pogue came to an understanding."

"Okay, good. Because I don't wanna see two of my best friends fighting."

"Nope, me and Riley are okay now." Pogue said with a smile.

"Good." Caleb nodded. "So, Riley, are you going to Nicky's tonight?"

"Sure."

"Cool." Caleb nodded. "Pogue… Chase said that he was going to meet us there."

Pogue nodded and Riley raised her eyebrow. "Who's Chase?" she asked.

"He's the guy that stopped that fight between me and Aaron at the Dells."

"Oh, I don't remember what he looks like." she said scratching her head.

"He goes to our school."

"Oh, okay."

Caleb and Pogue hung out at Riley's for another hour, then they left. Riley decided to get ready around seven thirty. She sent a text to Reid saying that she'd meet them there in an hour. She did her make up and straightened her hair, then got dressed. She decided to wear: dark low rise blue jeans, a pink tube top, and pink Chucks.

She grabbed her money, keys, and license, then put them in her pockets. She grabbed her leather jacket and left to Nicky's. Riley pulled into the parking lot, next to Tyler's hummer, got out, and walked to the building. She took a deep breath and walked inside.

Riley walked straight over to the pool tables and saw Reid and Tyler playing. She took her jacket off and placed it on the stool next to her. As Reid was about to take his shot, she leaned on the table just enough to where she was in Reid's line of sight.

"Can I play?" she innocently asked, right before Reid hit the ball. He missed the ball completely and was staring at Riley with his mouth dropped to the floor.

Tyler walked up to her. "Uh… hello."

She laughed. "Hi."

"You look." Tyler looked Riley up and down. "Amazing."

"Thank you, Baby Boy."

Reid finally snapped out of his daze and walked over to Riley. "You look… wow."

"Uh, thanks."

"Are you okay?" he asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Yes, Reid… I'm fine."

"Well, I'm just wondering, because you were acting kind of weird earlier, but now you look like a million bucks."

"Well." she started. "I decided that it was time for a change and try something new."

Reid smirked. "I like this change."

"I'll be back, guys… I have to get something out of my car." Tyler said before he walked away.

"So, are you really okay?"

"Yeah." she nodded. "I'm fine."

"Okay, would you tell me if there was something wrong?"

"Yeah, of course." she lied, biting her lip.

"Alright." he nodded, but he didn't buy it. There was something in her voice that made Reid not believe it. "Let's go sit down."

Riley grabbed her jacket and followed Reid to their usual table, then sat down. A few minutes later, Tyler walked back in over to the table with his cell phone. He sat down and started playing with it. "So…" Tyler started. "I hear your brother is coming to visit."

"Yeah, I told Max he didn't have to but he insisted on coming anyway."

"When?"

"In a few days or something, but when he gets a hold of Aaron, it's not gonna be pretty."

"Good, that douche bag deserves what's coming to him." Reid said as he was playing with his fingerless gloves.

A few minutes later, Reid walked over to the bar to get some drinks; Caleb, Sarah, and Pogue walked over to the table and sat down.

Tyler put his phone in his pocket. "So… is he a good guy?"

"Who?" asked Caleb.

"He is." Riley nodded. "Until someone messes with his baby sister."

"Who's baby sister?" asked Pogue.

"I have a older brother that I didn't know about until I moved to Vegas. His name is Max. He heard about me being in the hospital and now he wants answers."

Reid was walking back over with the Pepsi's in his hands. He saw Pogue and rolled his eyes, then gave Riley and Tyler their drinks. "What's going on? I thought you didn't want to be in the same room as Pogue or something?" Reid asked, looking at Riley.

"Well, Pogue and I came to an agreement and everything is cool."

Pogue looked up at Reid. "I'm sorry for flipping out like I did this morning… we're brothers and we shouldn't be fighting like that."

Reid nodded. "Yeah... it's cool, Man."

Suddenly, a guy walked up to Caleb. "Hey."

Caleb turned around. "What's up? Everyone… this is Chase and Chase this is." he pointed one by one. "Tyler, Reid, Riley, and you know Pogue and Sarah."

"Hello." Chase said with a little wave.

"Hi." Reid, Riley, and Tyler said at the same time, with a wave.

Riley noticed that there was something weird with Chase, like in the way he talked. It sounded so familiar to her and the way he would look or glance at her. She was just getting a bad vibe off of him.

"Hey, where's Kate?" Tyler asked Pogue.

"She wasn't feeling good." Tyler nodded, then Pogue looked right at Riley. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Uh… yeah." then she put on her jacket, got up and followed Pogue outside over to her car, then leaned on it. "What's up?"

"Has your eyes changed yet?"

"Not that I know of, but not since earlier… why? Have you told anyone?"

"No,no. I was just wondering and regardless what's going on between us, I still love and care about you."

"Pogue." she shook her head. "You don't love me."

He grabbed her hand. "Yes, I do."

"Don't do this right now."

He nodded, letting go of her hand. "Okay, fine. But, I still care about you, and that's never gonna change."

"I know… but." she paused, but couldn't think of anything to say.

"But… what?"

She shook her head. "I don't know, there's just so much shit going on and I can't handle it."

"Everything will be okay, Lee… I won't let anything happen to you." she nodded. "I'm here for you, no matter what."

"Uh, let's go back in."

"Okay… you look beautiful by the way."

"Thank you." she smiled, and Pogue nodded, then followed Riley back inside to their table.

Before Riley could sit down, Reid held out his hand. "Come dance with me."

"Okay." she said with a smile, took her jacket off, and Reid led her out to the dance floor.

He pulled her closer to him. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah."

"Are you absolutly sure, you are okay?" she nodded. "Okay… well, I think there's something going on with you… but you won't tell me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Riley, you've been acting weird since your dream. You rushed out of my house acting strange, you show up here looking amazing, and now you and Pogue are friends? It's like you've done a complete 180."

Riley heard that voice in her head "I'm warning you… do not tell him or you'll be sorry."

She started clutching her head in pain and Reid said "What's wrong?"

"My head… I have a headache."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I need to go lay down. I gotta go." then she walked away, leaving Reid standing out there at the dance floor.

She went over to the table to grab her jacket. Pogue saw the look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"I, uh, have a bad headache."

All of a sudden, Pogue jumped out of his seat, standing in front of Riley to block her face from everyone's view. She gave him a weird look.

"Your eyes." he whispered. She nodded, then just walked out of Nicky's, got into her car, and drove back to the dorms.
