Banned From The House
In order to keep Emma away from this clearly unhealthy relationship, her parents banned Riley from their house and took away Emma’s cellphone to keep the teens from communicating. But as you might have imagined, it didn’t work. Emma’s friend Seth Armstrong recalled how Riley gave Emma an iPod Touch, and she texted him through Wi-Fi.
As toxic relationships go, for every mean thing Riley told Emma, there was also a quick apology. “Emma, I’m sorry for however I act,” Riley wrote in one message. In another one, he said, “I love you more than words can describe.”
