trouble
Chapter 34
Dylan's words kept playing in the back of my mind as I exited the school later that afternoon.
You should talk to him.
A fit of cold shivers went sending down my spine, as I briefly closed my eyes.
Travis finally came to school for the first time today in the past week.
I gave him a short glance, but quickly looked away before he caught my gaze.
But, in that split second when my eyes flashed over to his, I noticed that he didn't look too well.
His hair was messier than usual, his face was pale and hollow, and there were dark, purple circles forming under his eyes.
My heart also sank when I saw that his shirt was wrinkled by the collar, and there was a little smudge of lipstick by his neck.
Throughout the entire day, I couldn't help but wonder if he had forgotten about me already.
I didn't want to think about it, but I knew that there was a possibility that Lola and Scarlet could've been right.
Travis was only playing with me- and threw me out because he got bored.
I gulped down the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes, as I continued walking home.
On my way home, I always passed by our neighborhood park.
In that park was the very bench that Travis and I used to sit at during late nights, and talk about anything; just anything.
I couldn't even stop myself before I realized that I was walking towards the empty bench.
My fingers trailed along the old, dry wood before I took a seat.
For the first time in days, just sitting alone on that bench, I felt tired.
My eyes began to slowly drift off, as I found myself falling asleep.
***
I was awakened by an awful smell.
The smoke was filling in my nose, making my eyes snap open immediately.
I looked around, noticing that the sky had gotten dark already, meaning that I had to be asleep for at least a good two hours.
I suddenly looked over to my side, jolting up as I watched Travis calmly take a drag out of his cigarette.
He glanced over at me, raising an eyebrow. "Didn't anyone ever tell you not to sleep on park benches, alone?"
I blinked at him surprisingly, before he tossed his cigarette on the concrete, rubbing it out with the sole of his boot.
I watched as he reached his pocket to light up another one.
Just as Travis was about to flick on his lighter, he stared at me carefully.
"Have you been sleeping?" he asked.
I glared at him, hating him for being so calm and collected.
"That doesn't matter." my voice was croaky from just waking up.
I noticed how Travis glanced over at me as I spoke, before gulping.
"Give me a cigarette." I demanded, holding my hand out.
I didn't know what I was doing- maybe I just wanted to prove something to Traivs.
Part of me wanted him to say no, but the other part of me wanted to forget it all.
Travis stared at me blankly, before letting out of puff of smoke.
"Here." he said, tossing me the entire packet. "Have fun."

Twas 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
When 20 beautiful children stormed through Heaven's gate
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there
They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day
"Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is Heaven." declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house."
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same
then He opened His arms and He called called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only Heaven can bring
Those children all flew into the arms of their King
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face
And as if He could read all the question's he had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
The He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand
"Let my power and presence re-enter this land!"
"May the country be delivered from the hands of fools,"
"I'm taking back my nation, I'm taking back my schools."
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"Come now, my children. Let me show you around."
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran
All displaying the enthusiasm that only a small child can
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight
"In the midst of this darkness, I am still the light."

trouble
Chapter 32
I've had trouble sleeping for the past few days.
I always stayed up, with my mind preoccupied with thoughts about how quickly I lost both Scarlet and Travis with the snap of my fingers.
I buried my face in my pillow, letting my tears stain the pillowcase.
Where did I ever go wrong?
What had I ever done to deserve all of this?
I've always been quiet and blended in with the crowd, but now, I was the center of everyone's talk.
People were still talking about how I had gotten soda thrown over me from days ago, and they would always shook me snarky remarks as I walked down the hallways.
"You look a little under the weather today, Riley." Lola said in a sickley sweet voice. "Did Travis finally get bored of you?"
I groaned at the memory, remembering how bright my cheeks had turned.
I glanced over at my digital clock, noticing that it was six in the morning.
I had gotten a minimum of ten minutes of sleep last night.
It was a bit too early to go to school, but I couldn't stand laying in bed any longer, so I got up and took a quick, cold shower.
The icy water drained away my thoughts, as I threw on a knitted sweater and a pair of distressed jeans that were ages too old.
The morning brisk was chilly, and it was still dark outside.
I figured that I would go to the coffee shop a few blocks from school, since I needed the extra boost of energy if I was going to survive another day.
I was surprised to find that the coffee shop was packed, but I also remembered that it was a few minutes into rush hour.
Business men and women were all pushing people out of the way hurriedly, holding their to-go mugs in their hands.
When I was next in line, I noticed that someone very familiar was at the cashier.
"Riley?" the cashier asked, a grin spreading across his lips. "I thought it was you!"
I remembered the moppy blonde from anywhere, as I smiled at Dylan.
"Hey." I gave him a weak smile. "I didn't know you worked here."
Dylan rolled his eyes. "Well, I just started-"
"Dylan, no chatting with the customers! Get to work!" a scruffy woman glared at Dylan, who groaned.
"Wait five minutes, okay?" Dylan smiled. "I'll be on break by then, and I'll get you a cup of coffee."
I nodded, stepping out of the line to wait for Dylan by one of the booths.
Five minutes later, the coffee shop was still busy, but not as wild as it was a while ago.
Dylan finally came over to where I was, two mugs in his hands.
"I hope you like mocha lattes?" he raised an eyebrow. "It's my specialty."
I laughed before taking a small sip.
The hot liquid burned the roof of my mouth, but it still tasted amazing.
"I love it." I nodded in satisfaction.
Dylan stared at me for a moment, and thats when I finally realized that his eyes were brown.
His eyes were soft, but behind them laid many secrets that didn't want to be spoken about.
"How come I never see you come over anymore?" Dylan asked, a soft smile appeared on his lips. "Did something happen between you and Travis?"
Oh Lord, not this again.

trouble
Chapter 31
I haven't been able to look Travis in the eye since we nearly kissed a week ago.
Every time we walked by each other in the hallways, I made sure to go the other way.
Whenever he came close to talking to me, I would always make up an excuse to avoid him.
I knew that I was being unfair and unreasonable by pushing Travis away, but when we were just inches from our lips touching, I realized something.
I realized that I didn't know what I would do without Travis.
I was scared, looking into his eyes, knowing that I was going to need him more than he needed me.
I was scared that he didn't love me back.
"Get out." Travis muttered coldly under his breath when I was talking to a classmate of mine, Carla, in an empty classroom the next morning.
Carla stared back at Travis with widened eyes, full of fear.
She shot me a quick glance, before rushing to gather her belongings.
She scattered out of the room in a matter of seconds.
I didn't blame her for being so eager to leave, though.
The look Travis had on his face was intimidating.
His face was pale, his eyes were dark, and his jaw was clenched together tightly.
But to me, he was still unbelievably attractive.
Before I could let my feelings get in the way, I reached for my bag that was on the desk.
"I should go, too." I whispered, trying make my way around Travis.
Travis shot his two arms out in front of me, locking me in place.
My back was pressed against the desk, as Travis hovered over me.
"Are you trying to avoid me?" Travis asked lowly, his hot breath sending shivers down my spine.
I shuddered, before biting down on my lower lip.
I saw Travis' eyes flicker to my lips for a split second, before they snapped back to my eyes.
"Travis," I started off, feeling breathleass already, "I need to go."
Travis stared at me, long and hard. "You're being stupid."
I was taken aback by his harsh words at first, but when they finally sunk in, it felt like a bullet had pierced through my heart.
"What?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.
"You're not talking to me because of what almost happened last week." Travis' voice was cold, nothing nice about it at all. "You're trying to make such a big deal out of something that didn't even matter."
I hadn't even noticed the pool of tears that welled up in my eyes before I felt a warm tear sliding down my cheek, burning my skin.
Travis' eyes softened for a second, before they became dark and unwelcoming once again.
"I'm sorry, Travis." I let out a shaky whisper. "I'm sorry that it meant so much to me."
I pushed Travis' arms away from me, as I felt myself sprinting towards the door.
I suddenly heard Travis slamming his fists against the desk.
Maybe, just maybe, I thought that he might've ran after me.
But, he didn't.
And what happened, just right there, proved something.
It proved to me that I was right, for once.
I was right when I said that Travis would never love me back.

trouble
Chapter 27
I laid in Travis' bed, where his arms were snaked around my waist.
The two of us felt right together.
In his arms, I felt infinite.
I felt safe and secure, like I could be whoever I wanted to be without being judged by someone.
I was also a hundred percent sure that Travis felt the same way about me, since he has told me before that he liked that I hadn't criticized him the way most people did.
The only thing I wasn't sure about was if he returned the same feelings that I had for him.
Whenever I tried to ask him about it, I would always get choked up.
My mouth went dry every time I opened my mouth to ask him about it, and my heart would start beating in an irregular rate.
"You're shaking." Travis suddenly muttered into my hair, pulling me back a little bit. "Are you cold?"
I hadn't even realized that I was trembling until he pointed it out.
Plastering a forced smile upon my lips, I shook my head. "I'm fine."
Travis looked at me hesitantly, as if he knew that I was lying.
But, he decided to not say anything.
He pulled me back into his chest tightly, the back of my head buried in his neck.
Closing my eyes, I breathed in his musky scent that I grew to love.
"This feels right." Travis suddenly whispered, making my snap my eyes open.
Pulling away from him, I rolled over so that my face was facing his.
I frowned, licking my lips. "What do you mean?"
Travis' eyes were closed, as his long lashes touched his cheeks.
I bit in my lower lip, as my eyes trailed down to his rosy pink lips that were just slightly parted.
"I'll never trust another girl the way I trust you." Travis muttered under his breath, as if he was talking in his sleep.
I gulped the ball that was clogged up in my throat, as my fingers reached out to brush away the dark strand of hair that had fallen in his eyes.
I took in a deep breath, noticing how badly I wanted to be the girl that he trusts so much.
"Travis." I shook his shoulders, trying to get him to wake up.
Travis barely stirred, as he knitted his eyebrows together. "Hm?" he hummed.
My hands suddenly shook, as my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach.
Travis was half asleep, and I've never wanted to tell someone something as much as I wanted to tell him right now.
"Travis, I-" I paused, letting out a short breath of air, "I love you."
Travis didn't respond, and I took it to conclusion that he had fallen asleep.
Sighing, I laid myself back down so that I was positioned in his arms.
I closed my eyes, as my heart pounded rapidly against my chest from the confession I just made.
I just admitted to Travis Kapone that I love him.
It crushed me to the core that I was never going to find out how he felt about it.
Travis' Point of View
"I love you." I heard Riley whisper, just as I was about to knock out.
I suddenly didn't feel so tired anymore, as my senses woke me up.
Riley stayed silent for a moment, probably waiting for me to say something.
But, I just couldn't.
I guess she thought that I had fallen asleep, because I heard her sighing before she laid back in my arms, where she belonged.
She finally fell asleep half an hour later, but I was still wide awake.
I love you.
Closing my eyes, I clenched my jaw.
Riley couldn't love me.
She was making a mistake.

Why are we always
waiting for something?
Waiting for exams to be over,
waiting for summer,
waiting for Friday.
And when what your waiting for finally comes,
we don’t even appreciate
what we have been waiting for,
instead we just wait for something else.

it is december 1st 12:11 am and i am missing you
when i feel sad i just tell myself that i'm alive
and i start to wonder what other people tell them-
selves when they are sad. and i hate the way it all
comes back to you, every time. i hate the way i lie
down at night and can only see you. what do you
tell yourself when you're sad? (do you remind your
self of the people who need you, or do you simply
let the tears fall like rain and accept it—this. this
is my life, and this is how i will always feel. it's okay
I promise. sometimes i do that, too. i do it too.)

I just cried because someone else was in pain, I dont know why I cry when I see that other people aren't in a good place, I think it might be because I can relate, but I'm not sure, I've tried so hard to get out of the place I was in once, but the same things are still hanging over my head, as if the sun provided hapiness, and those things were my umbrella from it. I don't like knowing that other people go through the same things because I know how some of it might feel? I don't know, it's that, or something isn't right with me, but I already knew that, so i guess this was pointless.

Chapter 22
"... and then we could get pedicures after brunch at that new place downtown. You do like pedicures, right?" Scarlet asked, raising an eyebrow.
I muttered something incoherent under my breath, barely paying attention to what Scarlet had in plan for us next week.
I heard Scarlet groaning, as I glanced over at her from the corner of my eyes.
I saw her rolling her eyes, as she crossed her arms stubbornly.
"Are you listening?" Scarlet snapped, as I sighed. "You know I hate it when I'm ignored!"
Scarlet was my best friend, yes, but she was making my head spin right now.
So much has been going on lately, with Travis and I not talking anymore, and having to hear Scarlet's constant whining wasn't helping me, either.
"Scarlet," I started off with a low groan, "can we not talk about this right now? I'm tired."
Scarlet glared at me with her angry blue orbs, before pursing her lips.
"Are you really that upset that Travis doesn't find any interest in you anymore?" she growled under her breath.
My eyes suddenly snapped open, as if I was never tired to begin with.
I was fully awake now, and all of my attention was focused onto my best friend.
"What?" I stuttered out. "Are you really asking me that?"
Scarlet rolled her eyes. "You know, I'm getting of your whole 'innocent' act." she spat. "It's your fault that Travis doesn't like you anymore. I warned you."
My best friend wasn't acting like my best friend.
At one point in my life, I was sure that we were distant sisters, but now, everything came crashing down.
She was using everything against me.
"Scarlet, stop being so-" I started off.
"I told you to stay away from Travis!" she screeched. "I told you that he was bad news, and you should've trusted me, Riley! You should've listened to me!"
My heart sank, as I stared wide eyed at the girl who was furious in front of me.
I took in a deep breath of air, as Scarlet waited for me to say something.
"I like him, Scarlet." I whispered, tears filling up in Scarlet's eyes. "Scarlet, I think I love Travis."
Scarlet's face immediately paled and hollowed.
Her lips quivered, as she shook her head.
"You can't." she gritted through her teeth with a shaky voice. "You just can't."
My best friend's eyes were filled with pain, anger, and most of all, betrayal.
My hands shook by my sides, as I bit on my lower lips.
"What are you talking about, Scar?" I asked quietly. "What is it between you and Travis that you've been hiding from me since day one?"
Scarlet gulped, as her blue orbs locked into mine.
"Riley," she started off, voice cracking, "I slept with Travis."
Scarlet's Point of View
As soon as Riley left with a saddened look on her face, I knew that I had won.
I wiped the fake tears off of my face, smirking.
My God, was she guillible.
