Chapter 3

                                    

                                          
I accidentally screamed out loud when Riker first texted me. 
"Shut up Rose! I'm on the phone!" My mom yelled from downstairs. I looked back at my phone. Riker asked about my cuts. i knew I could trust him, but he just wouldn't understand. 
"Well," I texted back.
"Its a long story: 
When I was 11, my dad left me and my mom. That's when my mom started abusing me, physically and verbally. I also started getting bullied that year. when I turned 12, I started cutting. I don't know why, it just happened. I found R5 when I was 15. On the night of my 16th birthday, I tried to run away. I made it a few miles from our house when I was caught. My mom was furious, and you can guess what happened. I'm 18 now ( Riker is only 20 in this story) and things have only gotten worse. Without you guys I probably wouldn't be alive." 
                          
I started crying as I texted Riker that. Riker told me that if my mom got worse, I could stay with him. I smile at that thought. 
                          
Me and Riker talked the rest of the night. I feel asleep on him around 4 in the morning with a smile on my face.
