Chapter One

Life with Riddick was simple. I hardly got to see him. The only time would be on the weekends even then I still didn't get to see him. By this time I was 17 years old, the legal age in New York. I was doing well in school, A's and B's. I wanted to be a pilot, but the only schools that taught where private away schools. At my school they were giving away a scholarship to one of the best flight schools in New York. In order for a person to get it, you had to get the highest score on the entrance exam. I took it for kicks just to see what kind of score I would get. To my disbelief, I got the highest score on the entrance exam. So I had to choose between Riddick and a career. Of course I was going to choose Riddick, until one night I changed my mind. The night I found out I couldn't wait to get home and tell him. I made a great dinner for him, but he didn't show up. I waited for a long time, and then gave up. He probably had to stay longer for something. But that was okay; we had all weekend to talk about it. I went to sleep. In the middle of the night I woke up the here someone screaming. It was a women screaming; I ran to Riddick's room where it was coming from. Then I saw something I never wanted to see in my whole world. I saw Riddick with some chick having sex. I just stood there a while in amazement. I wanted to run screaming but I just stood there watching the man of my dreams in some woman's arms. Finally when I could move I ran into my room. All I wanted to do was throw up. By now was sobbing, all I could hear was the noise they were making. I crawled into my bed and cried myself to sleep. The next morning I woke up before they did. I went into the kitchen and fixed some anti-acid in water. I still felt like throwing up, so I thought that it would help with the sickening feeling. I was about to go to my room when I saw the woman come out of Riddick's room. She was pretty. whorish but pretty. Her hair was all over the place and she looked tired, obviously from the consistent fucking they had last night. She gave me a little smile, which I cringed at.

"Hey there sweet heart, you most be the big guys little sister." Little fucking sister! I thought. I just stood there silent. She had a country accent, which fit her white trash look.

"When the big guy wakes up tell him Mary-Ann says to call her at this number." She hands me a pieces of paper with her digits on it. "Thanks darlin." So she left the apartment without another word. I went back to my room and just sat on my bed. I stared at the number for a few minutes, I was wondering if I should rip it up. I needed to get out of the house. I needed to talk to my one true friend. My friend Lana was the only friend that I made in New York. I called her up and said that I needed to talk to her and I made plans to go to her house, which was only 3 blocks away. I got ready to go out. I got dressed as I usually did. Black tank top, and black baggy jeans. My style was a little influenced by Riddick. When I walked out of my room Riddick was in the kitchen looking for something. When I saw him all I wanted to do was scream and yell. But I didn't because right now Riddick wasn't worth the effort. He noticed I entered and turned around. He looked like crap.

"Hey Jack." He said with an obvious phony smile. "Your up early." I didn't say anything I just stood there a second looking him over.

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh." He looks me over and notices I'm dressed to go out. "So do you know where the aspirin is?" I pick up a bottle in front of me and through it at him, he almost dropped it. We didn't say anything for second. Then he started.

"You look like someone stole something from you. What's wrong?"

"Nothing" I said a little to fast.

"Where you goin?"

"Out." I said picking up my mini backpack.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really." I said still not looking him in the eyes.

"Where exactly is OUT?"

"Why does it matter?"

"Well, it's just that you're a minor and I'm an adult and I have the right to know where you're going." By this time he was getting really irritated. I was a little annoyed myself. Every time I looked at him I want to throw- up.

"Oh, really?" I said leaning on one foot and tilting my head.

"Yeah. really." He said doing the same thing, mocking me.

"Well for your info, it really isn't your business. Plus I'm an adult too."

"Oh yeah, since when?"

"July 15, two weeks ago." he didn't say anything, but I continued with my assault of words, "And now that we're on the subject of question asking. How was your night? You know she was a screamer. Hope you had a wonderful time with MARY-ANN cause I know she did." he just stood there a while; he was a little to calm. Then the asshole smiled.

"What you jealous Jack?" That motherfucker I thought to myself.

"Me jealous? Of what? Mary-Ann? Please I could careless if you screwed Ginger and Mrs. Howl too."

"So why are you upset?" he had a slimy smile on his face. I could answer the question, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction.

"You know what, you can just go fucking jump off a bridge, because I wouldn't give you the satisfaction. I really need to leave because every time I look at you I want to throw-up." So I turned for the door, but I just had to get the last word in. "And Oh yeah "BIG GUY". Mary-Ann says to call her." And I took out the piece of paper and flung on the floor and left. After that I climbed on my bike and drove to Lana's house. It didn't take me long to get there. As soon as I got there Lana was outside waiting for me. And as soon as I got to her I broke into tears. She comforted me and told me everything was going to be okay and that if he didn't want me it was his problem. She told me that I should take the scholarship and forget him. Of course it wasn't that easy. I told her that I was in love and that even if I did I wouldn't know how to live without him. She told me that no man was worth giving up my dreams. I figured that she was right and decided that if Riddick didn't want me, why waste my time. So I decided that I needed to talk to Riddick and tell him my plans and start packing.
