riley smiled slightly. "i'm an ok driver"
((his past: as you can see, i have no life, this came to me late last night:
a memory: i sat at the breakfast table, doing my homework. i had just finished it when... she came in. "you'll never amount to anything. you are an idiot and a disgrace to our family. you should be ashamed that you were ever born. i stood there, and when she was done, i went to my room.
hours later i heard the door slam and shivered. my father was here. i walked down, knowing he would hurt me worse if i hid. "YOU!" he bellowed. he belted me way worse then he ever had before. i later learned he had lost his job.
that night, i packed my few belongings and ran away. i hitch hiked to a different state and changed my name from anthony meyer to erik night. ive changed it 32 times since then, and i've never felt safe. in the newspaper, they recorded the $150 i stole missing, and not me.
((he'll tell this to alexia later, he learned how to steal a car after he turned 16, he needed a better mode of transportation than hitchhiking))
