Riley was in the harbour. He was meeting Caysi. He hadnt seen her since the wedding and could only imagine what she was going through. He felt like Jason being his best friend that he should be there with him but in all fairness he was Caysi's friend as well so he wanted to be there for her and right now was when she would be needing him most. Anyway Leo was with Jason so at least he wasnt on his own.

He was sat on a bench where he had agreed to meet her. He hoped that she was hanging in there ok, after all she had been the one who through the rings at Jay not the other way around. He ran his hand through his hair while he waited for her to come. The last time she and he had had an argument it led Caysi to sleep with him, this was something that they both regretted, but at least the were being adults about it and pretending like it never happened
 
This is was such a stressful week for Caysi, her engagement had gone on the drain. The whole wedding was a scene it's self, she was embarresed to see half of the people that came to the wedding. Caysi had been crying non stop that whole week, and just eating ice cream, of which she was used too. She never ever wanted to see Jason again in her life. She couldn't believe that he could do such a horrible thing to her, plus he lied to her about everything, also making her feel like an idiot for making her promise that she was going to stay by his side. Caysi was done with Jason, that was it. Caysi apparated from her condo in Barbados to the harbor where Riley was going to meet her.

She hurried up her walking speed, not caring that she was pregnant at the moment. They had agreed to meet at a bench, but there were so many in sight. Caysi just needed to find the tall guy. " There you are." She said upon reaching him. She sat down quietly and swiftly.
 
Riley looked up when he heard her talk. He smiled at her, she looked like hell to him but who could blame her after what she had been through. He scooted over the bench to give her some extra room, after all she was being counted as three people in his eyes. He couldnt understand how one person could carry two babies, even more so how people could carry three babies at one time. He must have missed the lesson on the female body in school.

" Hey Caysi how are you holding up." What a dumb thing for him to ask but he wanted to know how she was so that he could help her. He wanted to make her smile and maybe just for a short space of time make her forget about Jason and everything that had happened over the past few weeks. He was going to say something about Jason but he decided against it, he was probably the last person that she wanted to hear about right now so he kept it to himself
 
" Thanks." She said laughing. " These kids aren't making anything easier." She sighed looking onto the harbor. " You picked a great spot." Caysi said, looking around at the scenery that was near them. " I'm holding up terrible, I look like sh*t, I feel like it too." Caysi replied. She looked at Riley. " How-, I don't even want to know and I don't really care how's he's doing to be honest, so you don't need to even think about that." She said. " I'm sure your wanting to ask me about a million questions, so go ahead." She nodded looking at him.
 
Riley looked out over the harbour as she spoke. He really did feel for her, but he didnt believe any of the things that Jason was supposed to have done. It didnt fit him at all and he would side with Jay if it came to that which he hoped it wouldnt. " You dont look that bad Cays. And dont worry i wont even mention his name if you dont want me to ok." He said with a smiled telling her what she wanted to hear. Today was all about her in his books and he would do what ever she wanted to do today as long as it made her happy. " So what would you like to do today? I have a whole day dedicated to you so pick away. Im fine with what ever you choose."
 
Caysi nodded, she knew that not mentioning his name would be the best thing. " I really don't feel like doing anything." She sighed. " I hope you can understand that." She shrugged. " Actually, want to go for a walk around the harbor?" Caysi asked him. " It just looks so peaceful, and relaxing." She nodded.
 
Riley nodded he knew what she meant, he got that a lot after a bad day. " Yeah sure we can walk around if thats what you want to do i dont mind. What ever the lady wants the lady gets" He smiled and stood up, holding out his hand for her to take so that he could help her up. She was getting big now so he would help in anyway that she asked or needed. Thats what friends were there for right?
 
Caysi sheepishly smiled, and took Riley's hand to help her up. " Thanks." She smiled fixing out her clothes. " What was your reaction to this whole thing?" She asked while putting her hands in her pockets of her sweater. "It was so sudden." She looked at him.
 
Riley made sure she was steady before he let go of her. She began to walk slowly as he answered her question. " Im not too sure. Shock i guess but he is my best friend and i have known him fir years and i know he wouldnt have done any of what he was accused off. Yeah sure i know him and Soph had a thing but that was too long ago for Soph to still be pregnant with his kid. She would have given birth to it if it was his. Personally if it came to side choosing i would stay on his. But i know it isnt going to turn into anything like that so i dont have to worry." He would have thought that Caysi being Jays love, that maybe she would have waited for him to explain or stayed with him actually thinking what had happened through, but apparently not.
 
Caysi listened to Riley. " You have your opinion and I have mine." She said. " Everyone has a different one, nowadays, everyone takes sides, but what it really comes down to is the people that are involved, you know what I mean?" She asked looking at Riley. " I'm not going to believe anything really, I have to clear my mind, think about it or whatever I need to do to think straight." She said. " I really need some time to think it over, have a clear judgement." Caysi added. " Everyone who talks to me, gives me another opinion or some other sh*t that I don't really need, I just even can't beleive that Sophia would say that infront of everyone." Caysi sighed. " Like, at least have some decency to say it in private, not for the whole world to hear." Caysi said.
 
Riley nodded. Of course everyone had their own opinion and he respected that. He just was going to stick by Jasons side through out this whole thing. " Well Soph was always very....Out there you know. Always spoke her mind." He smiled to himself when he remembered the last they had really met. He hadnt slept with her anything but she had certainly made an impression on his dad. He couldnt really see himself being with her or anything. She was too fake for his taste.
 
Caysi nodded. " Yeah, I kinda guessed that when I met her." She sighed. " Doesn't really matter, people will soon here about it, and I'll be getting phone calls like a mad woman." She laughed softly. " Enough talk about this, how have you been since the last time I saw you?" She asked him. " It's been a while." She added.
 
Riley had lost track of what she had been saying after the words phone calls came into speech. He laughed and shrugged at her question. " Not much really. I was at the wedding you know Cays. It wasnt that long ago. But yeah im fine thanks. What about you, or is that a dumb thing to ask?"
 
Caysi laughed. " I know that you were at the wedding, but I didn't really get to talk to you that much." She said. " I'm doing alright I guess, being secluded from the world right now is honestly the best feeling in the world." She said. " Like, I don't get interupted or anything, peace and quiet day in and day out." She said.
 
Riley smiled. He was more of a crowds kind of person, he found that they were much more fun and easy to fit into. If he was on his own then he was bored and had nothing to do. Which was probably why every day he as with someone, weather i was Adele or one of his other many girls. He was going to leave them all soon though which would leave his face sore and red and also leave a lot of girls heart broken. Of course he wouldnt leave Adele though, he liked her too much to hurt her especially after the recent event in her life that had left her in dire need of him. " Yeah i understand but i must admit im more of a people person than a stay by myself person." He laughed then ran his hand along the metal pole railings. " Im glad i met up with you today though. It feels good to just talk with a friend who actually needs to talk for a reason."
 
Caysi laughed. " I'm both, I guess, but not at this moment." She cleared her throat. " Yeah, I'm actually really happy that I met up with you too, it is good to talk to a friend no matter what." She smiled up at Riley. " How is he?" She asked Riley. "' I wasn't going to ask, but I need to know so that I can move on with my day." She said looking up to him with a sad smile.
 
Riley looked down and away from her. He didnt know what to say. Weather to lie and say that he was fine with the whole thing and already has a new girl or o say the truth. He opened his mouth and went with what ever came out. " He is a broken down mess. He is just staying in his room, not eating or drinking. He wont talk to anyone and he wont see anyone. To tell the truth im actually really afraid of what h might do. I have never seen him like this before." He sighed and regretted opening his mouth. He knew that this may make Caysi feel bad but then again she was the one to blame for all of this so she deserved to know the truth about the heart broken man she had left on their wedding day.
 
Caysi nodded. " I didn't expect to hear anything less." She shrugged her shoulders. " I knew that Sophia was going to come up with something, but I didn't know what." She said. " I didn't know that this would be that big, but I guess she got what she wanted." She said getting up from the pole. " Riley, I'm really sorry, but I have to go." She said. " My sister's coming over to see me, even though I asked her not too." She said laughing, Caysi went up to Riley to give him a quick hug. " Oh before I go, you know my house in Barbados, please don't tell him where I am." She smiled and apparated back to her house.
