I bite my nails as I wait for him to answer. Is Tyler was here he would have known how to handle this. Before I can see his message another one pops up from someone else, but a message that came from my phone and not MyLife.

Hey Mae, it's River. Are you busy this weekend? Sam's going on a hunting trip with his friends so I have the apartment to myself.

River. That's good. Rivers a good distraction.

MaeDa: No I'm not. Let me ask my Mom and I'll see if I can stay the whole weekend.

River: Great! Get back to me soon!

Message from Sachj87

A lump in my throat forms and I can't help but feel like I'm suffocating. Should I ignore him? If I do he'll blow up my messages again. And..and he'll think I told the cops. I don't want to talk to him right now, I can't. "Mom!" I call, looking at Rivers message and hearing her footsteps come closer.

"What Mae?" She stands at the doorway, her arms crossed. I bite my lip and put my head down. "I don't mean to sound mean. What's up?" She smiles, walking into the room and smiling at me.

"River invited me over to spend the weekend with him. Can I?" I look up at her, her smile slowly falling.

"Baby, I'm glad you're moving on from Tyler, but don't you think you still need to grieve?"

"I-I-It's not like that Mom. He's just inviting me over for the weekend." She hums, then sighing.

"If anything happens, call me." She stands up leaving and continuing her task.

"Wait...is that a yes!" I yell.

"Yes Mae!" She yells back. I can't help but smile a little and message River back.

MaeDa: I can go

River: Sweet! Pick you up in 20?

MaeDa: Sure

I bite my lip and hover over the message from the murderer and bite my lip harder. No. I close my laptop and Walk to my closet, grabbing some clothes and putting it in a bag along with my laptop, phone and a pair of extra underwear. I put on a pair of shoes and a hoodie, pulling my hair into a messy bun and walking downstairs to the front door as the doorbell rings.

River smiles at me after turning the fireplace on, smiling at me and sitting next to me and turning on the TV. "What do you want to watch?" He looks at me, smiling a little more until it's a laugh.

"Uhm...could we watch a Disney movie? Tyler loves those." I smile, River singing and rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, sure."

"S-Something wrong?"

"I want to know what you want to watch, not Tyler." He looks at me, his eyes piercing into me. I lower my head and bite my lip, sighing as he gently brings my head up to meet his eyes so they can kill me again. "I want to know you."

"There's nothing to know about me." I shrug my shoulders, moving my head away and digging my head into my knees, looking up at him.

"There's a lot about you to know, you just have to think." He laughs and smiles, the news softly playing behind us. Maybe his brother likes to watch the news. "I can think of a few."

"L-Like what?" His eyes dart to my lips, then back up to my eyes, slowly moving towards my lips again as he gently rubs my arm.

"You like blue and are quiet. You have a vocabulary, and can speak your mind, when you get amped up. YOu have the most beautiful blue eyes and silk like brown hair," he brushes his lips with mine. I can't help but blush and keep blushing as he keeps talking, his warm breath warming me. "You have beuatiful freckles and breathtaking lips."

His lips are warm and soft against mine and I can't stop myself from melting into him. I shouldn't, but I do. He lies me down against the couch, lying on top of me but not putting his bodyweight on me.His tongue slips in between my lips and I can't do anything but use my own tongue t either dance or battle with his, but they end up dancing. Something about River, i-i-it's hypnotizing. Like he has me under some sort of spell.

I moan into his mouth, my hips buckling up. I hear him chuckle, resting his hands on my hips and kissing me more. He pulls away enough for us to breath but not enough for his lips to brush mine as he breaths. "This is okay right?" He looks into my eyes, biting his lip and waiting for my answer. I don't know if this is okay. I've only ever kissed Tyler, and god I miss him but this just feels...right.

It feels right to kiss him and fall in love with someone else but I love Tyler still.I don't know how to feel about any of this anymore and I don't know how to love anyone but Tyler. He's my everything. River stammers out a breath. I look into his eyes. They're begging for an answer and I reluctantly nod, his eyes lighting up and kissing me again, pulling my legs around his waist and standing up.

I wrap my arms around his neck as he walks to his room, slamming me against the doorframe then putting me on his bed, lying on top of me and kissing down my neck and jaw, then back up and to my lips. I hear my computer buzz and chime from messages coming in from people. Most likely....I don't want to think about him. River looks at me, hovering over me, shirtless. How long was I out? His hands play with the edge of my shirt.

"Can I..?" He tugs up on my shirt a little. I bite my lip, nodding slowly. He lifts my shirt over my head and drops to the side of his bed, thumping to the floor. They cold air from his window leaks in, goosebumps forming all over my body as he stares at my chest that's covered in a indigo bra.
