~Chapter 15~ Wow! I made it to chapter 15! I wanted to say thanks to everyone who reviewed my story! You guys make me want to keep writing eventhough I suck!! Yay! Umm..I only own everybody that doesn't belong to S.E. Hinton! Ok this disclaimer is short..so here goes the story!
(****Riley's POV****)
I went into my bedroom and layed there for lack of something better to do. I was sad, confused, angry, and depressed. How could Steve like me? How could Daphne disappear? How could my dad hit me? Why did I have to cut myself? Why couldn't Sodapop like me? And why did Sandy do that to Soda? To me it felt like my life couldn't get any worst. It just kept going downhill, one slope right after another.
Slowly I lifted my arms up and examined them. They were tanned with dark and light scratches all up and down. Some of the scratches had dried blood on them. I hadn't realized what I had been doing to myself. Now I did. I was hurting myself. But I couldn't help it. It released the pain.
Crrreeeeaaakkkk Crreeeeaaakkkk. I heard the door downstairs being opened and didn't bother to go see who it was, because I figured it was my mom or my dad. And god knows I didn't want to talk to them. "Riley! You here?" Yep. I was right. That voice belonged to my mom.
"Yeah,mom." I groaned and then I heard her walking up the steps. Soon enough she walked in my room. She glanced at my arms, then she glanced to the floor where there were various razors and blades.
"Riley, Sweetie," She looked at me. "Are you cutting yourself?" I didn't answer her. I jumped up off the bed and stormed past her. I tore down the steps and out the front door. I didn't know where I was going but I couldn't talk to her. I couldn't tell her I was cutting. That would just complicate my life more. Plus, I was pissed off at her just as much as I was at my dad.
I kept walking, ignoring all of my surroundings. I didn't even do anything when a boy walked past me and popped me a remark that I couldn't stand from boys. And I usually popped them a remark right back, but this time I didn't. In a matter of moments I found myself in the DX's parking lot.
