Chapter 16: It's Time To Tell Her

REALLY QUICK A/N: I'm sorry guys but I think I'm gonna end this sooner than I thought I'm not totally for sure yet. No need to where this is only book one there will be a second book, I promise.

Anyways, I'm working on writing the song for this book, it probably won't be the best but I promise that I'll try my best, it also maybe a bit sad but sloppy but yeah.

Lastly, this chapter is probably gonna be the longest chapter I've ever made in this book. It's most likely gonna contain up to at least 5000 (give or take)!

So now, without further ado, Enjoy!!

😱"Ember's POV "😱

"Thank God, I'm not cramped in between anybody any more!", Ryan exclaimed trying to push me and Blake outta the car as soon as it stopped.

"Well, Jesus women! All you gotta do is ask and we'll get out!", exclaimed Blake in a chuckle.

"Okay, how about this, get the hell outta the car so I'm not dying from suffocation or else I'll blow the whole vehicle up!", she yells and Blake opens the door outta fear.

"Well that did the trick.", I giggled getting outta the car.

"Oh thank the lord and heaven's!", Ryan exclaimed as she got outta the the car.

"Feel better now child?", I ask her patting her head causing her to slap my hands away.

"I'm not even that much younger than you.", she says pouting then sticking her tongue.

"Okay kids! Enough with the drama let's go inside!", Stacey's mom exclaimed. We all started walking inside with Ryan looking down at the ground grumbling.

Not to long after that she stopped her mouth wide open in shock. That's when I realized she didn't even look at the house. It looked like just your ordinary modern house but for some reason, she seemed to be shocked as if she's never seen or been in a decent looking home.

"I-I can't go in there.", Ryan stutters out and I sigh and gently grab her arm.

"Come on. You can go in there you just gotta put one foot in front of the other and walk in there.", I tell her and she shakes her head.

"No no no! You don't understand I really can't go in there!", Ryan said starting to raise her voice and pulling on her hair some.

"Okay okay! Just calm down!", I say grabbing her arms and putting them down by her side.

"I'm still not going in there.", she says and I sigh.

Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way. I think to myself as I start to pick Ryan up bridal style. She seems to weigh literally like a feather.

Anyways, I'm now carrying Ryan inside who is wiggling and trying her best to get free and outta my hold.

"Let me go!", she yelled and I shake my head.

"Nope! Not gonna happen princess!", I exclaim and she freezes and just stares at me for a moment before going back to what she was doing.

"PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN!", she yells squirming around.

"Sorry, no can do!", I say as I step inside the house and close the door behind us. I set her down and she crosses her arms and gives me a pouty face. Awww, she looks like an angry kitten or maybe a toddler.

"You look cute when you're mad.", I say taking my shoes off and then, I look up at her to see her mouth wide open in suprise. I put two of my fingers under her chin and shut her mouth.

"You shouldn't leave your mouth hanging open.", I say to her booping her noise with my finger.

"You may choke on something!", I yell as I walk away only to turn back to see her blushing.

I walk into the living room where everyone, including Stacey's parents. We started a whole conversation about which super hero was better, Wonder Woman or Superman, Wonder Woman won.

After a few minutes, I hear footsteps and look behind me to see Ryan walking slowly and nervously. I motion for her to come in and sit next to me. She does so and starts to bite her bottom lip and picking at her fingernails.

That seems to be her nervous habit.

I grab her hands gently and put them in her lap. I put my head on shoulder and she tense up but slowly starts to relax.

"You're okay, I promise. I won't let anyone hurt you or anything like that on my watch.", I say to her and kiss the top of her shoulder. She nods and grabs my hand I squeeze her's reassuringly.

🤯" Blake's POV "🤯

👽" Right Before Ryan Walked Into The Living Room "👽

After a few minutes of all of us arguing about who was a better Super Hero, Wonder Woman won.

Not to long after, Ryan came walking into the living slowly and she seemed pretty nervous. I was just about to motion for her to sit next to me but Ember beat me to it.

Ryan nodded and sat next to Ember. Ryan started to bite her bottom and pick at fingernails. While she was doing this Ember looked up and smirked at me.

I already knew that was a nervous habit of Ryan's. I've known her since 2nd grade. No I'm not a stalker if that's what you're thinking which you probably are cause I'm even getting stalker vibes from myself.

But anyways, I'm not a stalker, I was raised to observe my surroundings. So, that's what I do, I observe my surroundings. But when I first saw Ryan, she had this intriguing aura (idk if I spelt that right and I'm sorry if I didn't.)

I had no idea what it was she seemed so.... mysterious and it intrigued me, it still does, even though she told us what goes on in her life. I still have this feeling she hasn't told us the full truth.

I understand if and why she hasn't, talking about your haunting past is really hard to do.

After thinking about it for a minute I feel someone tap my shoulder bring me outta my train of thoughts. Stacey was pointing at Ember and Ryan. I look up to see Ember whispering something in Ryan's ear. Ryan nods as Ember kisses the top of her shoulder. Ryan grabs Ember's hand and I see Ember squeeze her hand reassuringly.

I really wish I was the one reassuring Ryan that she was going to be okay.

You're probably wondering, why did Stacey point that out to me, am I right?

Well, even if you aren't, I'm still gonna tell ya cause in all reality, I don't care if you wanna know or not.

So, the reason why she pointed it out to me is because, well, I guess you could say she's smarter than what I give her credit for. She found out I like Ryan. Like more than just a friend.

At first I denied saying that I didn't like her. I already knew I was lying to her and she did too. After a week or so, I stopped denying it and told her the truth.

So, you see she wasn't trying to cause any drama, she was only trying to be a good friend.

♡" One Hour Later "♡

😲" Stacey's POV "😲

So, after about an hour my parents said that they were going out. I don't know where to. Probably on some business trip or something.

After they excused themselves they went to their room after a few minutes they came back down looking all, 'Profesional' and 'Formal'.

Yeah, my parents go on alot of business trips. Sometimes it used to get lonely, that was before I had my friends.

Plus now I have sorta kinda, a little teeny tiny..... oh, who am I kidding? I have a huge crush on Summer. But, I already know she'd never like someone like me.

Ya know, the nerdy girl who always wears baggy clothes and if she's not wearing baggy clothes she's wearing long sleeves or my dad's old shirts with jean pants.

I mean, come on! Summer is like a super model compared to me. She could have any person bowing to her wanting to date her. But me not so much, especially with all my insecurities.

I sigh internally. I look up at everyone and get an idea.

"Who wants to go and play games in the game room?", I ask excitedly and they all raised their hands, well all except for Ryan who looked really nervous and as if she wanted to leave.

"Well, Ryan, will you at least come up to the game with us?", I ask she sighs with a nod and I smile.

I show them where the game room is but, I grab one of Ember's and Blake's arms and pull them back outside the door.

"I need to talk to the both of you alone without Ryan so, this is good enough.", I whisper and they nod.

"Okay, what's up?", Blake asks

"The ceiling, then the roof, then the sky, but that's besides the point, you guys need to tell her how you guys feel about her. The both of you.", I say and they look at me then each other in fear.

"But, we can't do that. We don't wanna ruin the friendship we all have between each other.", Blake and Ember say in unison and I shake my head.

"It's time to tell her.", I say to them and sigh

"Whether you like it or not, I'm sick and tired of seeing you yo in competition to see who can win. So either A.) You guys are going to tell her or B.) I'm gonna tell her for you guys.", they sigh in defeat but after a few moments Blake smirks and looks at Ember and then she smirks too.

"Well, if we have to tell her we like her, you have to tell Summer you like her, 'Whether you like it or not'", Blake says the first part and Ember mockingly says the last part. My breath hitches in my throat and I cough a little before clearing my throat.

"Fine.", I sigh out.

If this is the only way I'm gonna be able to get these two to tell Ryan then I guess I'll tell Summer how I feel about her. I think to myself and nod as we walk in.
