Goddard's Home for Troubled Teens

Val

"Dont argue," I walk towards him before crouching infront of him, "Did you love her?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I put headphones in, humming.

Ryder

I find her by the pool and groan inside, hating socialization with anyone but Val. Why do I have to do this? Why couldn't we just have gone back to my room and hung out like we planned? Why is that so hard?

```
Sharp

I don't understand, still studying her, "I don't see how that's any of your business."

Val

I roll my eyes, "Just answer the question. You know I can hurt you. Just answer it. Also, Just wait until Melody finds out your the one that gave me the black eye. She won't be happy at all..."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I yawn, getting a text.

Ryder

I shove my hands in my pockets and sit in the chair beside her, not uttering a word.

```
Sharp

"Maybe you shouldn't have gotten involved then, sweetheart," I retort, sitting back. "And I'm not afraid of you. You do anything to me and I can order things ten times worse to your boy out there."

Val

I raise an eyebrow, "What if Melody hurts you, huh?" I say, "You can't do anything to her. You won't let yourself hurt her back."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I glance to my right to see that kid. Sighing, I take out a headphone, "Hi..."

Ryder

"Hi," I say simply back.

````
Sharp

I shrug, "Wouldn't be the first time."

Val

I sigh, "Are you gonna try to get her back?"

,,,,,,,,,,,

Mel

I nod, awkward.

Ryder

I look at her, "My girlfriend thought it would be a good idea for me to talk to you. I honestly have no clue why, but she decided to talk with that a**h*le you used to date and send me along the way. So, I'm here."

````
Sharp

"Once again," I say, "I don't see how that's your business."

Val

I sigh, "It's a simple question. Yes, or no."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I nod again, "Well, you can go."

Ryder

"Thank you," I stand and head back.

```
Sharp

I study her, "I'm not confiding in you, sweetheart, if that's what you're waiting for. You can just leave."

Val

I raise an eyebrow, shaking my head, "B*tch," I mutter, flashing out.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I think about it before heading back to Sharp's room, knocking on the door and throwing on a shirt in the process.

Ryder

I wander around the house, looking for Val.

```
Sharp

I shake my head, freaked out, before standing and answering the door.

Val

I go to his room, waiting by it.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mal

He opens the door and I sigh, "I left something here."

Ryder

I find her waiting by my room. Sighing, I open the door for her, not sure I want to ask what happened.

```
Sharp

I shrug and step aside, pretending not to care.

Val

I step in, "He's an a*sh*le."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I swallow and look down, not moving, "It was you."
