TW: Mention of Self harm
The next day,
Riley stayed at one of her closest friends' houses, Dezzy.
Present time
Riley just woke up and when she looked around the room, she noticed Dezzy was not there. She got up and got dressed. She walked downstairs into the kitchen, where she found Dezzy eating.
"Why did you wake me up?" Riley asked, as she walked over to Dezzy.
"Well, after what happens with you, mom and mama. So I decided to let you sleep a little longer." Dezzy said.
"Well thanks. I really need it." Riley said as she sat down next to Dezzy.
"So, are you going to see your birth mother today?" Dezzy asked.
"Yeah, I'm meeting up in a few hours." Riley said.
"That's great, maybe you will finally get some answer you need." Dezzy said
"Yeah." Riley said
"Are you going back home?" Dezzy asked.
"Nope." Riley said as she stood up, but Dezzy stopped her.
"Are you okay?" Dezzy asked as she placed her hands on Riley's hips.
"Yeah." Riley said, not looking at Dezzy.
"Are you sure?" Dezzy asked, looking Riley in the eyes.
"Yeah." Riley said, looking away from Dezzy.
"Hey look, I place my hands on my hip and you are not getting mad." Dezzy said with a smile, which made Riley smile too.
Soon Riley got annoyed with Dezzy's hand so she just moved Dezzy's hand, but when she grabbed Dezzy's wrist she cried in pain.
Riley just looked at Dezzy before she grabbed her wrist again, which made Dezzy cry out in pain again.
With that she was 100% sure that Dezzy self harm herself.
"Dezzy you didn't?" Riley question.
"I'm sorry." Dezzy said.
"Why?" Riley asked
"Before you got here last night, I got into a fight with my father and shit went down. He was so mad." Dezzy said..
"You didn't have to take it out on yourself. You could have talked to me about it." Riley said,
"I know but there was more to what happened." Dezzy said
"Okay, what was it?" Riley asked
"I can't tell you." Dezzy said,
"Okay, tell me when you are comfortable to tell me." Riley said as she hugged Dezzy.
"Thanks." Dezzy said
"So do you want to hangout before I leave?" Riley asked
"Yeah sure, let's go to the movies." Dezzy said,
"Okay then." Riley said as they walked out of Dezzy's house.
A few hours later,
The park
When Riley got to the part, she saw Mary was already there.
"Sorry that I'm late, I had to help my friends." Riley said as she sat down next to Mary.
"Oh, that's okay, honey. So what would you like to know?" Mary asked
"I don't really know, maybe you could start at when I was taken from you." Riley said
"Well, me and your father at the time lived in Minneapolis,. When we found out that we were having you, we decided we did not want to go into the hospital, so we got a midwife. We did background checks, researched, read reviews, and did interviews. A few weeks later, we found the perfect person. Her name was Jojo, or that's what we thought her name was." Mary said
"A few hours after I gave birth to you, I fell asleep. Jojo said she could watch you while I take a nap, but I had a bad feeling about that and put you in my bed next to me. But when I woke up, you were gone and so was Jojo. I looked all over while I still didn't find you, so I called the police. Unfortunately, the police did the bare minimum, but we looked for you, but well…we never found you. So What i'm guessing is that Jojo took you but then decided she didn't want a baby." Mary said
"So you never found Jojo?" Riley asked
"No, it's like she disappeared." Mary said,
"So what happened to my father?" Riley asked
"He was killed in a car accident." Mary said,
"Oh." Riley said
"Can I ask you something?" Riley said
"Yeah, what up?" Mary asked
"You're not going to take me away from my moms are you?" Riley said,
"Not at all. I don't want to mess that up for you." Mary said,
"Good to know." Riley said
"So what happens now?" Riley asked
"Don't know, since you are super close to the twins, maybe then we can probably just get to know each other better." Mary said,
"Yeah, I would love that." Riley said as Mary's phone rang.
"I'm sorry it works, I have to get going." Mary said,
"Now problem at all." Riley said,
"I will see you later than." Mary said,
