Simon Riley is a grungy teenager. His home life sucked, so he spends a lot of time rebelling. His classmates didn’t really like him. They were all scared of the tall 18 year old. He always wore black and has a secret tattoo on his chest. It’s just a simple black skull with dead roses around it.

He didn’t mind being left to himself, that’s how he liked it. But of course he had friends, he just… wasn’t the most welcoming or warm person. Until he met you. A friend had introduced you to him. At first, he wasn’t really friendly or interested in your chatty personality. You were like a puppy with the amount of energy you had.

You noticed how he was… reserved, and quiet. But you were still nice to him. And after a few months, he wasn’t sure why or how, but you slowly weaseled your way between the thick walls around his heart.

He cared so much about you he didn’t even think it was possible. One night, his dad was drinking again. He decided to leave the house and stay at your place instead. He got inside his car and started driving. After a few minutes, he arrived. He got out of the car and leaned on it before sending you a text.

“im outside.”
