A couple days after I returned home from the hospital the police and news reporters started flooding my house. I wasn't afraid of the police but I was afraid of telling them my story. Telling them about being rapped is a sensitive topic and there wasn't a female officer to tell. So I had to explain in great detail how I got rapped to policemen. What fun! Not. News reporters wanted to know the full story about my kidnapping and what Jake did to me. The police announced that I was kidnapped and tortured but didn't say the whole story which made me appreciate them even more. They told me they would try their best to find and capture Jake. They said they tried before but that he's a sneaky fellow. So who knows if he'll actually will be found. Only time will tell.

My cast is still on. I read the message that Harry wrote on it everyday. I haven't tried contacting him and he hasn't tried contacting me. Eleanor and Perrie have been visiting me, helping me prepare for when I go back to school. They've been bring me work so I won't be behind classes. Apparently rumors have been going around the school but it's not worth repeating. I have another week of wearing this cast. I wonder if people will try and read it Harry's letter. I wonder what they will think.

"Well, we're here." Juliet padded my knee. We're at the school still sitting in the car.

"Are you sure you want to go back today? You can come tomorrow if you want."

"Juliet I can't put this off. I'm going back to school. Who cares what people think." I'm trying to sound confident but I'm really not. I have to face Harry since we're in the same class. Harry. Gosh my stomach drops when I think about him. Someone opens my door for me, making me jump.

"Sorry Riley. I just wanted to give you a good luck hug!" It's just Louis and the gang. He helped me out the car and engulfed me in a warm hug.

The boys walked beside me making sure if anyone made fun of me they will give them a beating. I kept telling them I'm good on my own but they didn't listen. They dropped me off at English. I turned my late work to my teacher. I turned around, a bit afraid to see if Harry was sitting in his regular seat that was next to me. He wasn't, he sat in the far back. Flirting with some girl who I haven't seen before. Whispering things in her ear making her blush and giggle. Was I a joke to him?

---

I managed to stay focus throughout most of my classes. I'm staying late after school because stupid, Eleanor, Perrie, and Juliet signed me up for volleyball tryouts. They said there is no way of backing out. Juliet said this would bring me more confident. So I'm in the gym listening to the volleyball coach talk about rules and all. Tryouts are tomorrow. I wasn't really listening, I just want to go home, finish my homework, and fall asleep while listening to Ed Sheeran. Someone started hitting my arm.

"Who's that girl?"

I turned my head in the direction Eleanor was pointing. It was that girl from English, the one Harry was seducing. She must want to tryout for volleyball too. "You can totally take her in tryouts. We'll be here tomorrow by her side." I smiled at Perrie. With this girl trying out, it got a whole lot personal.

---

When tryouts started Harry walked in with that disgusting creature whatever her name is. We watched them make out and I just wanted to barf on there entire existence. The coaches blew their whistles and we started our drills. Everyone was pretty strong and unfortunately Mindy. Mindy, the girl who was shoving her tongue down Harry's throat. Mindy. Such a bitchy name. Tryout is almost over so we're now scrimmaging. Mindy is on the other team so I totally want to destroy her. I looked over to the girls and they all gave me smiles and thumbs up.

I play middle position. Which is the player who plays front row in of course, the middle area. So I'm a hitter. The ball got set to me and well I did the thing I most wanted to do. I hit the ball square in her face! She was totally faze! I could here my friends cheering and clapping. I turned around to Mindy and walked right up to the net and whispered, "In your face disgrace." I went back to my teammates and joined in with their cheering and hand clapping. I kept repeating my actions trying to hit the ball on the floor on the other side or trying to aim it at Mindy's face. I was having fun. Whether or not I make the team at least I beat the bitch up.
When the coach blew the whistle it meant tryouts were over. We gathered around in a circle to hear the results.

"Ladies you all did spectacular today. I'm so proud of all the effort out there! But unfortunately we can't keep all of you. We need twelve players and here they are.

1.) Piper
2.) Elle
3.) Hannah
4.) Megan
5.) Tiffany
6.) Jackie
7.) Sydney
8.) Katie
9.) Stephanie
10.) Candice
11.) Ashley
and
12.) Riley who will be our team captain!

Mindy if there were something to happen to any of our players you will fill in for them." I looked over at Mindy. Her face was all red. I swear I could see steam coming out of her ears!

I skipped over to the girls telling them the good news. We jumped around in a circle. I thought I was a good player but not good enough to be a team captain! This is just too awesome! We walked pass Mindy and Harry on our way out. "Congratulations on becoming team captain Riley."

"Thanks Harry. And congratulations on finding a quick replacement."

The girls all gave him a nasty look. "Looks like Harry is back to his old ways."

"Eleanor!"

"Sorry but it's true! Someone had to say it." While Perrie and Eleanor were bickering Juliet stayed by my side. "Look I know it may look like Harry is over you and that he looks like he's totally into another girl… Well he's not."

"And how do you know that?"

"Harry put his heart and soul into you. It wasn't a silly game for him. I think since you didn't want to see him he thought in his head that you were totally completely over him. He may just want to make you jealous."

"Well it's working."

"The best way to make a man jealous is to do the same!"

Perrie and Eleanor walked towards us and listened to what Juliet said. "She's right you know. All we need to do is find a spanking new fellow for you! A million boys would love to have you. And I know the perfect one."

Eleanor seemed so excited about this plan. I wondered what guy she had in mind. I hope this doesn't lead to trouble.

---

I wanted to wait until my cast was off to hang out with the guy Eleanor paired me up with. The gang all knew who this guy was, including Harry. Which makes it all the more better. His name is Luke Hemmings. Eleanor showed me a picture of him and he is to die for! The blonde quiff, blue eyes, and that lip ring suites him well. He plays the guitar, sings, and writes his own music. I can't wait to meet him tomorrow! If this doesn't make Harry jealous maybe this could be the start for something new.

The party that's being thrown is at Louis'. It's big! A ton of people are here. Half the people Louis doesn't even know but that doesn't bother him. The girls and I all got ready together at Perrie's place. They wanted me to dress more like Juliet. Well I don't know about dress, it's more dressed down since I'm really not wearing anything. Eleanor is wearing a pink dress that has cuts on the side. Juliet is wearing a red dress that of course, shows a lot. Perrie is wearing a tribal crop top with denim shorts, and I'm wearing nothing. Denim shorts with a sparkly bra or bandow. Either way it's super slutty. I will get a lot of attention tonight.

We walked in and sat on the couch with our boys, Luke was there looking like a beautiful angel. We got on very nice. We learned a lot about each other. He never pressured me into smoking or drinking and I appreciated that. We danced together and walked around in the back. Louis has a nice pool in the back yard.

"I wish I knew Louis had a pool. Otherwise I would've brought my suite." All of a sudden I felt a push and I splashed into the pull. I heard another splash right after. I bobbed up and saw look smiling at me.

"Luke Hemmings! What was that for!?"

"You said you wanted to go swimming!"

I gave him a mad dog face making him laugh. His laugh is contagious so I caught on. We floated around the pool for ten minutes. He helped me out of the pull and told me he'd be right back with towels. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek which took me by surprise. I didn't know what to do so I just smiled back at him.

I walked around the pool waiting for him and then someone yanked my arm from behind me. "What the hell are you wearing!?"

His face was so angry, scrunched up. I've never seen him like this it really frightened me. But I can take care of myself. Can't I?

"I'm wearing clothes Harry. Are you blind?"

"Ha ha. Very funny. This doesn't look like clothes it's just a strip of fabric!"

"And why does this bother you so much?"

"Because."

"What a great explanation." I turned around to see Luke coming back with towels. I tried making my way towards him but an arm wrapped around my waist lifting me up. "I hope you don't mind but I need to steal her for a moment."

I didn't bother kicking or screaming. He always wins at this game. He walked around a corner so we were out of sight. "Why are you doing this Riley?"

"Because."

"Can you give me a better reason… Riley Elizabeth Shawn?" While saying my name he kept getting closer and closer to my face. I gulped.

"Why does it matter to you? You have Mindy to worry about not me."

"I don't care about Mindy I care about you!"

"Huh? You sure do have a funny way of showing it. Now if you'll excuse me I have a date who is waiting for me."

"Congratulations on finding a quick replacement." I stopped in my tracks. Did he really just say that? Does he really want to play this game?

"Treat me like a queen and I'll treat you like a king. Treat me like a game and I'll show you how it's played."

Notes

A smack down is about to happen…

I hope you guys clicked the word "face" so you could watch the clip of Riley spiking the ball in Mindy's face!
