I stared down at my new skateboard and couldn't help but smile. I was in love with this thing that I didn't know what to do. I didn't even want to skate on it in fear that I'll fuck something up.

Eli took me Friday afternoon to get another board. He asked what happened to mine and all I said was I didn't stop in time, jumped off the board and the board went into traffic.

He gave me a lecture on how I needed to be more careful. I knew that lying wasn't the best way to go but I didn't want to tell him about what happened that day.

It's still stuck in the back of mind and it's only been a day since that day.

It's now Saturday afternoon and Eli was meeting up with his girl, which he invited me and I was shocked. I couldn't wait to finally meet her.

When I asked where we were going, he said that we're meeting her at the bar. I nod as I kinda figured that was going to happen but maybe I didn't have to see her there.

I'm pretty sure she went to the hospital after that day. Her wrist, which I still don't know what happened, looked pretty bad.

But I tried not thinking about her or that situation as I was getting ready to go with Eli. I was getting out of the shower, wrapped in the towel and looking at myself in the mirror.

I wiped my hand over the mirror since it was fogged up, then grabbed a tooth brush before putting some toothpaste on it. I stuck my tongue out before running the brush under the water.

Brushing my teeth, I was listening to the music I had playing from the bluetooth speaker in the bathroom. I heard Eli knock on the door a few times when I was showering, telling me to hurry up.

I was trying to hurry up but I was also having a full concert in here, so it'll be a while until I get ready.

After I brushed my teeth, I spit out in the sink before rinsing my mouth out. I smiled at myself in the mirror before blow-drying my hair afterwards.

I could hear Eli in the hallway, telling me to hurry up but I ignored him as the song that was playing went off and another one came on afterwards.

It was Bartender by T-pain, which was an old song but I still liked it.

As I was slightly singing to it, I was brushing my hair before thinking about River. Since this song goes with her, I couldn't help but think about her. I shook my head as I sighed then continued brushing my hair.

I decided to put it up in a bun. I made sure my bangs were down and it looked cute. I looked at myself in the mirror as I moved my head around, looking at myself from different angles.

Nodding in approval, I took the towel off my body then put my clothes on. I picked out some cute clothes which was ripped jeans, only in the knee area, a long-sleeve with my high tops.

I smiled at myself after I had the clothes on. I looked at myself in the mirror and made sure everything looked good before cleaning up the bathroom, grabbing the speaker and turning it off then walking out.

Looking down the hall, I saw Eli's bedroom door open before walking to my room and tossing the towel and clothes in the basket.

I tossed the speaker on the bed then looked on my phone before seeing a notifcation pop up from Instagram.

When I swiped down, I saw that it was from Riverxx and opened it to see a picture of her wrist from a post. I saw that it had stitches and her hand was laying on her lap.

The caption said: 20 stitches later

I looked at the picture a little longer, looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what happened before closing the app and continued getting ready. I got my shoes on, made sure I sprayed some perfume on me, all over, then placed my phone in my pocket.
