Since Maureen and Joann had been away for the last 2 weeks they didn't know
of Riley yet. There was a predator look on Maureen's face that could only mean
trouble. It had been a long time since Mark had a girlfriend and for one to walk
out of his room only in his shirt called for interrogation. As Riley felt herself
being stared at she self-consciously crossed her arms in fear that some one
would see her shame scars, she was lucky no one had seen them this far but that
was because she was usually wearing Rogers hoodie. She couldn't believe how
lucky she was that Mark hadn't seen them this morning or last night. Lost in her
thoughts she didn't hear her named called so gently Mark tapped her to get her
attention.
" Riley this is Maureen and Joann, Joann and Maureen this is Riley" Mark said
" Nice taste Marky she's a pretty one" Maureen said sauntering over circling
Riley looking at as if she were a piece of meat
" O no it's not what you think Maureen this Rogers sister" Mark said
At this both Maureen and Joann's eyebrows went up because the girl that just
came out of Marks room was Rogers sister, this only could mean one thing…
Mark was DEAD MEAT. Maureen also wanted to pout because since Riley was
Rogers sister she couldn't flirt with her.
" How did you sleep" Angel said braking the silence
" Ok I guess but I'm terrified of thunderstorms" Riley said
Collins was dieing to make a comment but was cut off by the Roger who had
just come in.
" Yup ever since she was little" Roger said walking into the loft with Mimi at his
side
" Yeah" Riley said
" So Roger you never mentioned you had a sister" Maureen said
" Well um…" Roger said blushing the first time the rocker had ever done so
" O its ok I'm only the baby sister no importance" Riley said sarcastically
" Lee…" Roger started
" No" Riley said walking back into Rogers room grabbing her cloths and bag
and heading to the bathroom.
She refused to let him know how much it had hurt her, but then again life was
never fair why should Roger love her enough to be proud. The mental pain was
torture and there was only one way to numb it, numb her whole body. Reaching
into her side pocket she pulled out a knife that she had gotten from the boys
kitchen a few days after she got here. Slowly she pressed the blade to her arm
making a deep zigzag to go with the rest. It took a couple of minuets but finally
the physical pained mixed with the mental and she went numb. For a few
moments she watched as the blood ran into the running sink blissfully numb a
feeling that she hope would last forever . She heard a knock on the door that
brought her out of her daze.
"Just a second" she called
Quickly grabbing stuff to wrap her arm, Riley wrapped it got dressed and after
cleaning the sink out left the bathroom, when she got out every body was
looking at her intently. There was a look of pity in their eyes that she couldn't
stand, so she didn't she walked out the door to get away for a little while.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mark looked at the poor girl because he knew that Maureen was going to
interrogate her as soon as he entered the kitchen and saw her. Angel and
Collins and identical smirk which couldn't be good and he thanked god that
Roger wasn't there because god know what he would have done to Mark.
Knowing it was better to get it over with Mark introduced them, and almost
laughed when Joann and Maureen's eye brows went up after the mention she
was Rogers sister. Mark could just read their thoughts that mirrored is earlier
ones. Roger could never know that Riley had slept in his bed. For a couple of
minuets every one was in silence then Angel being herself broke it.
" How did you sleep" Angel said braking the silence
" Ok I guess but I'm terrified of thunderstorms" Riley said
Mark could tell that Collins was dying to say something but was stopped when
Roger came into the apartment.
" Yup ever since she was little" Roger said
"Yeah" Riley said
" So Roger you never mentioned you had a sister" Maureen said
" Well um…" Roger said blushing the first time the rocker had ever done so
" O its ok I'm only the baby sister no importance" Riley said sarcastically but
Mark hadn't missed the flicker of pain that had crossed her face
" Lee…" Roger started
" No" Riley said walking back into Rogers room grabbing her cloths and bag
and heading to the bathroom.
Everyone turned and looked ateachother and roger was looking very upset the
most ive seen him the whole 6 years we have been living together. But all I
wanted to do was tell him how much of a fucking asshole he was but I wouldn't
because it wasn't my place. She was in there a good 10 minuets when Angel
finally knocked on the door to make sure that she was ok. Every body heard her
answer that she would be out in a moment. When she walked out she took one
look at every body and walked out of the house, Mark looked at every ones
expression of pity and knew that he would leave too. It took a moment for
everyone to realize what to happen.
"Damnit" Roger said punching the wall beside him quickly regretting it as his
hand began to bleed. Angel quickly grabbed a washcloth to stop it from
bleeding.
" Well what now" Maureen asked
" We go find her, we can't leave her in this city alone" Roger said
" Sure be a protective big brother now" Joann said rolling his eyes
" Fuck you, I have to go find her" Roger said
" That's not such a good ideal honey maybe someone else should" Angel said
" No she's my sister" Roger said snatching his hand away
" Well she's pissed at you do you really think that she would listen to you"
Collins said being the voice of reason
" How bout Mark" Maureen said
I almost glared at her, but for once there was no sick ploy behind her
suggestion, no hint of manipulation. This left me wondering why would she
choose me but then every one else chimed in.
" He's the closest to her minus you and I think she would listen to him" Mimi
said finally saying something
" Fine… Mark" Roger said
" Yeah I'll go get her I said walking out the door but not before grabbing my camera
Looking down at it almost made Mark smile because he had a good ideal were
she was, she was like him why face your feelings when you could hide behind a
camera. His feet took him to a spot he had been many time and had just taken
her a couple of days ago and thats exactly were he found her …
