Riley's Story: Betrayal by Kaitlyn Rose Hathaway (great books for teens .TXT) 📕

we made fun of Lesh.
'He seems to took a liking on you.', joked Macy.
'No, he didn't we just write form time to time.', said Lesh.
We all started to laugh.

At the event it started awkwardly since they didn't talked much to each other and I had to be the 'bridge' again. But after a while it loosened. There was karaoke and I love to sing thus we stayed there and sang. Well, most of the time I sang since the others were to shy :P
Around 10pm Kai drove us home and yeah, there it started. Chapter 5

The first stop was Lesh house. Kai drove to her door and he and I got out. Macy was so tired that she already was asleep and since I didn't want to wake her, we let her sleep in the car and Jase just sat in the car too. I hugged Lesh and wished her a good night when Kai asked her if he should help her getting her things inside even though it wad just a bag. I was a bit irretated but didn't mind it. He was always a gentleman around girls who were me. I wss the only one who he would rather tease than help but that's the adittude I kinda love. It was more carefree and had more of a family feeling.
Well in the end she didn't take his offer and we drove next to Macy's house. In front of her house I woke her up: "Hey Macy, wake up. You're home."
She slowly opened her eyes and got out half asleep. But this time I was the only one who got out. Both Jase and Kai were sitting in the car and waiting for me to get in again, so that they can drove me home and went home themsleves. I also hugged Macy and got back into the car. Kai immediately started the engine and got on the road.
All the way home I had a strange feeling. It was like something poked my heart. It poked and poked as if it wanted to tell me something but I didn't understand what it wanted from me...
I tried to listened to the things Jase said, since my friends weren't on the car anymore he was more lively but I couldn't concentrate one his words at all. I just nodded and said words like 'yeah' and 'of course' from time to time.
Then we arrived at my home. I thank them especially Kai and got into the house.
In my room I threw my bag into a corner and brushed my teeth. My parents stil weren't at home that was why I went into my room and searched for my diary while brushing teeth. If they would see me doing that, they would definitely yell at me. After a while I found the diary and put it on my table before I went back intp the bathroom and finished brushing teeth. I quickly changed into my pyjama and sat down before my table where I searched for a good pen and started to write:


Dear diary,
I know it's been a while but I didn't had much time to write you.
Today I definitely need to write down this strange feeling I had. Jase, Kai, Macy, Lesh and me went to an event and on the way back home I had a strange feeling. It was like something poked my heart and that something wanted to tell me something. Something important... I don't know what it was but doubt that's something good...
Love Riley


I was sleepy and closed my diary and put it back into its hiding place.
Then I feel on my bed and a second later I was asleep.

Back then I didn't know what that feeling wanted to tell me and I think I was too naive and too much of a child to see the seriousness of this feeling. But soon enough I am going to regret it...

Chapter 6

It was a restless night. Even though I slept I had a troubled sleep. The feeling didn't let off my heart and gave me the strange thought that something was wrong. Something I should realize in order to protect myself. But I had no idea what it was.
Suddeny I was in a room of emptiness. I was all alone in the dark when a voice muttered something: "Wake up Riley. See the truth. You can't shut your heart from the truth."
I had no idea what it meant and yelled: "What?! What should I see?!"
But the voice didn't answer anymore and instead I felt a presence of something bad. Because of the dark I couldn't see anything but that thing was overwhelming. Suddenly the air got thin. It was as if the air was sucked away and I started to breathe quickly and deeply. The there was no air and my head got fuzzy. I was scared. I was going to die!!!
Then I woke up all sweaty. It was just a dream but it felt so real. After my breath was normal again I looked at the clock. 6am. There were at least three hours till my parents were going to stand up and I was still sleepy but too scared to close my eyes again. If I closed my eyes, I would be surround by darkness again. So I decided to stay awake. My thoughts turned back to the dream of mine.
What did it meant? What was the truth I didn't see? And was it really that important? What did the voice said? It said that I should figure it out in order to protect myself?
Then while I thought about it I heard a small sound from my bag. I realized that it was the vibration signal of my mobile phone and took it out. The display showed the name 'Kai'. Immediately I answered to call: "Morning, Kai. What's up? It's still early and you're already?"
"Well, it's eight but okay..."
I looked to the clock. It really was eight already. I didn't noticed how time passed while I was thinking.
"Well, you see, next week your holidays start and I thought that maybe you want to come to celebrate a bit?"
"I really want but hey, you still have to go to school and so on and I am broke from a while."
He sounded disappointed. "Okay, then ciao."
"Ciao."
Then he hung up and I looked irretated at the mobile phone in my hand for while.
"What the hell was wrong with him?! Of course our relationship got better but not that good, didn't it?"
Then it made click in my head! I suddenly understand what the voice wanted to tell me and I slumped to the ground.

Chapter 7

The incidents of the day before and the behavoir of both of them were clearly in my mind. I had no idea how I could have not seen something that obvious. I was an total idiot.
After a while on the ground I realized how stupid I was. It didn't matter, did it? If I just pretend that I had no idea nothing had to change. We could be still friends and Kai and my relationship didn't need to change too. And they didn't seem to want me to know.
Well, that was my excuse. To be honest I still hoped that it wasn't real or more like that it was just my imagination. On the one hand I somehow felt betrayed but on the other hand I felt nothing since I didn't want to see it.
My best friend Lesh and my cousin Kai in a relationship? It couldn't be, could it? My best friend wouldn't break the unspoken promise between friends, would she?
Well, it could be that only he had a crush on her and she had nothing to do with it, but after figuring it out, it seemed obvious. If he really had a crush on her, she would notice it. And as my best friend she would definitely tell me about it, wouldn't she? Even if she felt the same the same would tell me, because of the unspoken promise of a girls friendship. It was the same if I suddenly have fallen in love with her ex-boyfriend, I would have had told her, because normally a relationship with the former boyfriend of your best friend was a no go and so with a family member of your best friend...

I didn't know why, but my eyes suddenly filled with tears. There I was, sitting on the floor of my room crying quietly on my own. At that very moment I just wanted someone to comfort me but how could someone comfort me if I had no I myself didn’t know what made me feel like that. It was like something important was snatched away from me. The fundament which made my life stable was smashed.
I always hated when something change and I never wanted to think about the future. Never wanted to know what would happen to my relationship with the family if we grew up. But it never was necessary, because lots of them already got a girlfriend or boyfriend once or twice and it I always got along with them, but this time was different. This time it was my friend! If my intuition was true then it meant that she betrayed me. That our friendship would be over…

The more I thought about it
