(Tala)
Tala sighed, running a hand through his hair.
Dranzer was happily growling at squirrel that was boxed into a corner of the playground.
Kai strolled over, after talking to Ozuma who was skateboarding.
"What time is the bastard getting back."
Kai growled, sitting down on the bench.
"He's getting back tonight, about 8. Mum is getting back at 5."
"Right."
Kai looked down at his bruised wrist and flinched as Dranzer pushed it with his nose.
"Did the old guy have a problem?"
"Yeah, he wasn't pleased with the mess that Dranzer made in the lounge. He eliminated a few pillows."
Kai stated, pushing his black leather bands down over the bruise.
"It's nothing."
"Yeah, ok."
Tala looked up just as a figure walked through the park, he was clad in total black. The hoodie he wore covered up some of his hair, but exposed the front ¼ of his black hair.
The guy turned his head, his blank white eyes locking Tala's icy unnatural blue in a cold stare.
Tala stared into his eyes and he stared back, a feeling that this guy was bad news washed over Tala. The guy looked away, focusing on the park gate. Tala watched as he left, turning the corner and out of view.
"You know him?"
Kai asked, looking blankly at his friend.
"No and I have a feeling that I don't want to."
"Hmmm"
(Ally)
Dark strolled down into the hide out, noting that the entire group was there.
A smirk crossed his face as he saw Riley.
"So you didn't chicken out."
"I never do."
She snapped back.
Dark nodded lightly in approval.
"Seems that we can trust you again."
Everyone knew this meant that Riley was back in the gang.
Milla jumped up and hugged Riley.
"Milla let go of me."
Riley growled.
"Oh yeah."
Milla let go but the smile was still planted on her lips. Riley couldn't help but smirk.
"Welcome back."
Ryan said quickly, turning and sitting on a crate.
"Great."
Seth grunted.
Milla glared at him, giving him a light slap across the arm.
"Time to split."
Dark stated, looking up at the reddening sky.
"Meet here tomorrow…round lunch. Don't be late."
The gang nodded and watched as Dark left. Ryan quickly left to. Milla smiled and walked with Seth.
"See you tomorrow Rattel."
Riley's smirk instantly turned into a frown as everyone left. She glanced around the ally before dropping her gaze and slowly strolling out.
{What have I gotten myself back into.}
(Tyomi's house)
Riley opened her door and walked into the room. Dumping herself down onto the bed, she stared at the ceiling.
Images of the past and flashes of the present danced before her.
The door being swung open caused Riley to sit up.
Tyomi stormed in, she didn't look happy at all.
"Where did you go today?"
She said, her voice trying to hold it's calm tone.
"It's none of your business."
"You just disappeared! 'Oh I need fresh air' then 'poof'! You're gone for the rest of the day!"
"Tyomi, shut up!"
Tyomi's jaw shut, her eyes filled with rage slowly easing away. She let out a huge breath before sitting down on the sofa in the room.
"Why do you even care."
"Riley you're our friend, we care about you. Doesn't matter what you think or believe, we were worried."
Riley stared at Tyomi. Was she telling the truth, or was she lying. But Tyomi wasn't the kind of person to lie.
"Anyway, I'm holding a party tonight, you don't have to come…. But it will be loud so you might not sleep anyway."
"Who is coming."
"Oh a few school friends."
Riley watched Tyomi get up and leave.
"See you later."
"Hmmm."
Riley was waiting for Tyomi to leave, the pressure on her chest was getting to much.
The door shut and she released it. Tears ran down her cheeks, she turned and sobbed into her pillow.
It may have seemed that she was doing better, but bottling away her true feelings was becoming a huge burden. Faking your feelings, forcing smiles, this was becoming to much, soon she would totally brake.
Later
A FEW!!
Riley pushed herself through the streaming mass of teenagers entering the lounge room. The music was playing loud and bodies were swaying close together to the beat.
The sword room was locked so Riley had nothing better to do, then to join the mindless bunch, in drunken rants and stupid behaviour.
Riley dodged a guy as he fell over.
"TYOMI!"
She shouted, trying to spot the brown, red streaked haired teen out of the crowd.
Suddenly an arm wrapped itself around her waist, pulling her in against their body. They definitely were well built.
"What you doing here?"
A husky voice rasped in her ear.
"Piss off!"
"Oh the same invite, it's getting old."
Tala let go of Riley; she spun around and glared at him.
"What's your problem!?!"
"You!"
Riley shot back.
"I find we started off on the wrong foot."
The sway he did told Riley he was already drunk.
"Great."
She said rolling her eyes.
"Can't we start over, wipe the plate clean."
"You seem to talk more logical when you're drunk, but the answer is NO!"
"Riley we can't go on fighting like this."
"Like what? You mean the annoying little bicker fights, you're right we can't keep having them. So lets just leave each other alone, that will sort that problem out."
"No, because I don't want to leave you alone."
"Tala you are drunk."
Suddenly Tala leant forward, locking Riley's into a passionate kiss. Riley's eyes opened as Tala's tongue slid along her bottom lip seeking entrance. But she didn't grant it to him, instead she pushed him away, he fell backwards over the side of the couch, landing on it.
"You are drunk!"
Riley hissed. Turning and walking away, her heart leaping a little.
Her eyes scanned the crowd angrily, this brown haired girl was hard to find.
"Tyomi!"
Riley growled, standing in the doorway.
Her mind floated back to the event earlier. She touched her lips absent mindedly as she thought.
"Was up Riley?!?"
Riley shook her head little, coming back to reality before turning to the person she wanted to see.
"Tyomi what time is this party suppose to end!"
"Umm…. Err…. I dunno…. When people decide to leave."
"Where is your parents."
"Out of town visiting my Grandma."
Riley sighed and turned around, pushing her way back through the crowd towards the hallway.

Tala sat on the couch, his hands resting on his chest as he stared at the ceiling.
His heart felt weird, he had butterflies in his stomach and felt a little light-headed. Mentally pushing the feelings aside, he slowly sat up, eyeing the crowd.
Tala glanced to his side as Kai sat down.
"I saw, you fell."
"She pushed me, thought I was drunk. I think it's better that way anyway, I would have humiliated myself."
"Probably."
"She drives me insane!"
Tala dropped his head into his hands and looked intently at the floor.
"Shall we go?"
Tala looked up.
"Good idea this party is boring me anyway."
Tala and Kai stood up, walking quickly out the door.
(Next Day)
Dark smirked as the brick smashed through the shop window. Riley watched as the gang filed into the deserted store and took some items.
"Come on Riley, take something."
Riley's eyes darted over to Dark as he took a portable radio. Riley looked down at a bunch of bags, her hand slowly moving over them. Her mind screamed 'do it or they will never accept you again!' while a small voice told her it was wrong.
Pushing the voice aside Riley hesitantly grabbed a black bag, stuffing it with CD's and mags from the shelves.
Milla ran around taking a few items of clothing and CD's. Seth and Ryan helped themselves to stereos and dvd's.
Sirens signalled it was time to leave.
"Time to go guys!"
Dark yelled, walking out onto the road.
Milla whooped in excitement as she jumped back out through the window, quickly followed by Riley Seth and Ryan.
Milla smiled and slung an arm around Riley's shoulder.
"Got some cool stuff."
Riley just nodded.
"Just like old times hey."
Milla jeered, breaking into a run, as the sirens seemed to get closer.
Riley followed quickly after her, a solemn look on her face as she adjusted the black bag on her shoulder.

Unnatural sky blue eyes watched in horror as a gang threw a brick through a shop window.
The fact that a shop was being robbed didn't bother him, but the fact that he recognised one of the people.
Her black ponytail swayed as she climbed into the shop, slowly taking some items. Tala stared; his eyes focused on her. He knew she was hard core but this was just out of earth.
The sound of sirens registered in his ear, a figure appeared first out of the store, his blank white eyes glancing around at the surroundings before dashing off with the group.
Tala's eyes set in a firm glare, wanting his eyes to burn a hole right into that black haired prick's back.
"He's probably the one making her do this, this ain't like her. I just have a feeling."
He growled. Shifting the gear he took off, speeding down the street.
(Tyomi's later)
Riley ran up the front stairs, she dashed down the corridor and bounded into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.
She disposed of the black bag on the couch before climbing up onto the bed. Bringing her knees to her chest, she rested her chin on the top.
Silent tears trickled down her face.
How could she be doing this, robbery, theft, it wasn't her. Sure she had participated in those activities when she was younger, but that was it, she was young! Trying out new things, behaving wildly.
She had grown up, found new friends. But this group, this gang…They felt close to her. Every time she was around them she felt powerful, free, her mind was wiped of her past.
But now, by herself, alone, she felt hollow and every time she spent time with them, she felt more of herself being taken away.
Riley's tears stopped flowing as she stared ahead. Her eyes blank and emotionless, her face cold and unreadable, slowly she crossed her legs, resting her arms across her knees.
"Mum."
She whispered, looking straight ahead.
"I need help, I'm breaking, oh someone please help me."
Riley wrapped her arms around her body, she layed on her side staring at the wall. Tears ran down and dropped off the tip of her nose onto the pillow.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
[Unless I try to start again]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realise
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Breaking the Habit
Tonight
Yep....not much longer to go....can you wait???? i noe i can't hehehehe well R&R and you'll see what happens.....XD Just two more chapters!!!!
