A few days later..
Asher N: Riley has been avoiding me as much as she can.
Asher N: I don't know why, All I wanted to do was be there for her.
Asher N: It kind of hurts me that she's avoiding me to be honest.
Asher N: But I get It she needs time alone, She's hurting.
Asher N: And It kills me to not know how she Is.
Asher N: To keep me busy I've been doing alot of missions.
Asher N: I just got back from one, And I kinda got beat up.
Felix: Asher how the hell did you manage to get hurt for once?
Asher: I was distracted.
Felix: Fair enough, But you could've died.
Asher: I'll be fine.
Kian: You're lucky you have someone to help you clean that up.
Asher: Shut up.
Riley: Come with me Asher.
Asher: Riley you don't have to do this.
Riley: Just come, You have blood all over you.
Asher: Finee.
Felix: Have fun you two!
Asher: Shut up Felix!
In the bathroom.
Riley: Are you sure this doesn't hurt?
Asher: Yes, It's just some cuts.
Riley: These are kinda deep Asher, I have to stitch them.
Asher: Riley stop worrying, You have other things to worry about.
Riley: I don't want to talk about that.
Asher: You can't keep avoiding It darlin', You have to talk about It.
Riley: Stop!
Asher: Riley.. Please.
Riley: I can't Asher..
*Asher gets closer to her*
Asher: Talk to me when you're ready.
Asher: But don't avoid me anymore, Please.
Asher: That's all I ask If you don't want to talk about I-
*Riley grabs Asher and kisses him*
Riley: Okay…
Asher: Okay?
Riley: I won't avoid you anymore.
Asher: Good..
*They keep kissing*

Riley: You didn't go to your mother's funeral?
Asher: I didn't, Now c'mon let's go.
Riley: Okay.
A few hours later.
Riley N: A few hours later Asher walked away and I followed him.
Riley N: He went to the car and sat on the ground.
Riley: Are you okay?
Asher: I should be asking you that, But don't worry about me.
Riley: I'm fine, Stop with that.
Asher: Today Is about you Riley, Put yourself first.
Riley: I need to take my mind off of this.
Asher: Let's just go back to the others.
Riley: Actually.. Can we go to my place?
Asher: Of course, I can't drive though.
Riley: Why not?
Asher: I've had a few drinks.
Riley: I'll drive then.
Asher: You ain't driving my car.
Riley: Watch me.
Asher N: She grabs the keys from me and we get In.

At Riley's.
Asher: Riley are you okay, You've been quiet.
Asher: Riley?
Riley: Go away..
Asher: Did I do something?
Riley: Just go..
Asher: What's going on with you?
Riley: I can't do this.. I can't be around you.
Asher: What?
Riley: I blame you for my mother..
Asher: Riley It's not my fault.
Riley: I can't believe that, Ever since I met you..
Riley: Things changed, And I don't think for the better..
Asher: You're just upset and finding someone to blame-
Riley: No! I really do blame you.
Asher: No you don't.
Riley: YES I DO! I do..
Riley: I want you to leave.
Asher: I'm not leaving you tonight.
Riley: Not just tonight..
Asher: What?
Riley: I want you to go forever..
Asher: Riley you don't mean that.
Riley: Asher I want you to leave forever.
Asher: Riley…
Riley: Go..
Asher N: We both go silent..
Riley N: I hear him get up and leave..
Riley N: I just start crying my eyes out.
A bit later with Asher..

Felix N: Asher sounded like he's been crying.
Felix: Let me In.
Asher: Felix I want to be left alone.
