Chapter 4

The picture is Jennifer

Riley's POV:

   I walk in the front door of my house. Mom and dad are out on their date night and my sister, Jennifer, was the only one left here. Jennifer is my twin and she does everything to make my life a living hell. I try to make it to my room without her hearing me, but sadly, I'm really clumsy and tripped, knocking over a family portrait.
   "Look who finally came home. Derek's coming over soon so don't play your emo kid music, and do not come out of your room. Got it freak?" She grabs my hair and pulls. It hurts, but I've gotten used to it by now. I nod my head without hesitation and she releases me. "Good. Now put yourself to use for once in your entire worthless life and help me pick out an outfit."

   Mom and dad didn't get home till midnight so Jen and Derek just had to go at it. That's so gross. I was just trying to do homework and her room just so happens to be right next to mine and the walls are really thin. It was horrible. I've never been happier to see mom and dad in my entire life.
   My mom is a big time lawyer and dad is a surgeon. See, they're always so busy that they're never home. They're always working. They used to leave me home all the time and only ever take Jen with them. I guess it's just cause I look weird and they don't want me giving the family a bad reputation. Can you see why I hate them?
   They think Jen is so perfect. All cause she has a boyfriend, and looks like a prep. She has long, curly blonde hair and blue eyes. Her skin is pale, but it's not sickly pale like mine. She's everyone's definition of beautiful while I'm everyone's definition of failure.

   I wake up to my phone vibrating against the side table. I don't wanna get up but I wanna see why it's going off so I roll over and look at the bright screen. It's too early for this. I just want to go back to sleep. I see that I have a new message so I open it. It's from Alex. We traded numbers at school earlier.
Alex❤️: Hey, um, can we meet? I really need to see you...
   I'm really concerned so I type in a quick response.
Me: Yeah, when and where?
   The reply came almost immediately.
Alex❤️: The park from earlier and now...
   Now I was really worried. It's really close to midnight. What was so important that it couldn't wait?
Me: Yeah, I'll be there ASAP. You ok?
Alex❤️: No... please hurry
I instantly shot out of bed. I'm really scared now. I have to go to see what's wrong. I slip my converse on and grab a hoodie, throwing it over my head. I don't care about the fact that I'm wearing sweat pants. Alex really needs to talk to me. I manage to quietly sneak out of the house and walk towards the park. I wonder what's so urgent that Alex couldn't wait until morning to talk to me about...
