“Riley, you never change! I shouldn’t have
listened to Brittany and picked you up!”
The room was how I left it.
The window was open.
It was creaky.
Uncle hated noise, but he was only shocked.
His feet were black.
There was blood everywhere.
The curtains were gone.
く
The wind was sweet.
I remembered when I was seven, and my
parents died.
Uncle took me in.
I loved him.
Until Brittany came.
She lied, but Uncle believed her.
On my eighteenth birthday, I told him.
He told me not to have those thoughts.
The next day I was in Switzerland.
<
Brittany said things behind my back, so Uncle
made the call.
She framed me as a druggie.
She wanted a blood supply for childbirth.
Brittany was sick, and Uncle didn’t see it.
Uncle looked out the window.
It was a high cliff.
He said, “She’s chicken to jump from here. I
want to toughen her up.”
“Who’s on duty here? Bring him to me.”
The assistance came back and said, “Mr.
<
Sterling, the team quit after Riley killed
herself. Would you like to look for Riley in the
mountain?”
He said, “She will be found if she jumped.
“She will lie and trick everyone! She wants me
to notice her!”
Uncle told them to find me.
“Search well and bring her to me.”
“She and Brittany are rare blood types, and
Brittany will give birth soon. She needs to
accompany her to be prepared!”
I was shaking!
He was here for Brittany.
L
I thought he cared.
I was his everything between seven and
seventeen.
Brittany showed up, and it was gone.
To keep me away, she lied about the drugs,
so Uncle locked me here.
She wanted me for blood.
He couldn’t see.
The assistance looked at him.
“Mr. Sterling, the team saw Riley jump, there
is no hope.”
L
“I know you don’t believe it, but they look real.
We can call the cops and search the
mountain to know the truth.”
Uncle said, “She will fool all! She won’t give
blood to Brittany and wants to hide! She’s
enjoying herself!”
“Stop her credit cards, if she has no money
she will come back!”
Uncle left to see Brittany.
My soul followed him.
