Chapter 7

Yesterday was fun.Well it always is when I'm with Ryder.He makes me so happy and carefree,makes me forget about my problems and my awful parents.

But today is Monday and that means I have to go to school.I hate Mondays but today I woke up early and went to take a shower.I went to my walk in closet and chose a comfortable outfit because I didn't feel like dressing up today.

But I am honestly happy because today Ryder is taking me to school today.

I am happy with Ryder and I love him already.And that scares the shit out of me cause I fell for him way too fast and I don't even know if he feels the same way cause he said we should take things slow.

All I know is that Ryder likes me and dating me and that's all that matters right now.But I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't love me.

Nobody loves me.My own biological parents don't,the two people who should have loved me and cared for me more than anyone in this world don't love me.They left before I could even talk.

They left me without a care in the world of what would happen to me.And now the ones who should be filling my parents space abuse me,not only physically but emotionally and mentally too.I know I should report my parents but I can't,but I can't right now.At least not until next week,when I finally turn 18.

Then I could finally be free of then and not have to be afraid of them showing up any minute to beat the shit out of me.

Everyone just leaves me at some point.I know I should be careful with Ryder but I can't exactly control what my heart wants.

It is currently 7:45am and Ryder should be here in exactly 15 minutes.So I just made myself some cereal and went to watch Teen Titans Go while eating and waiting for Ryder.Don't judge me OK.Teen Titans Go is funny.Just because I turn 18 soon doesn't mean I can't watch cartoons now.

Just when Teen Titans Go ends,the door bell rings.

I went to put my dish in the kitchen and took my bag and went to the door.I saw Ryder and he took my bag without even greeting me and he looked really mad. oh he looked so hot when he's mad and it turned me on.I know I shouldn't be thinking like this but I can't help it.

I locked the door and noticed that Ryder was already in the car so I just got in the front seat and stayed silent.The car ride was uncomfortably silent.

When we get to school,instead of getting out I turn to look at him and ask,"Did I do something wrong or made you mad without knowing? Cause I feel like you angry at me or something"

He looks at me for a second then sighed and looked at the front."No babe you didn't do anything wrong and I am not mad at you.Its just that my father wants to see me and I honestly don't wanna see him,and he ain't exactly giving me a choice so I really have to go."I nod understanding what he said.

"So if I didn't ask what was wrong,you would still be ignoring me like I don't exist right?"He shakes his head aggressively,"No babe.I would have told you,but I would have done that later."I nod again and make to get out the car but he picks me up and spreads my legs over his so I was straddling him.

He holds me by my waist with him one hand and he cups my face with his other one and looks at me,"I'm sorry princess.Don't be mad at me."I peck his lips"I'm not mad.I just want us to be able to talk to each other.No matter what"

He nods and gives me a gentle kiss,"I promise I'll talk to you more often and tell you if something is wrong."then we get out of the car and hold hands as we get in school and everyone is watching us but we just ignore him.He walks me to my locker and I get my books for first period.

And he walks me to class."Wait for me when your class ends.I wanna walk you to all your classes."I nod and he gives me a long passionate kiss and what he said next surprised me.

"I love you."I look at him shocked,"Really?"and he nods,"Yes,I know I said we should take it slow but I already love you so I thought I should tell you.Its OK if you can't say it back right now cause I know we moving to fast."I shake my head and peck his lips"No,I love you too."

"Really?"he asks me with one of his rare breathtaking smiles.I smile back back nodding.And he kisses me again."Bye,I will see you after class."and I get in class and notice that everyone is staring at me and whispering things to each other but I ignore them and go straight to Bella and sit with her.

"Hey girl.How was your date on Friday?Tell me everything."she doesn't answer me and just continues to stare at me shocked.I wave my hand in front of her face and that seems to take her out of LA La Land.

"So when were you gonna tell me that you are dating Ryder?"I blush at look at the floor."Today,but you should first tell me how your date with Luca was."it was her turn to blush now."Oh my god,he was so romantic.He took me to my favorite restaurant,we ate,talked and all that,then we took a night stroll at the beach,holding hands and he told me to look at the sky,and there were fireworks that said"Will you be my GIRLFRIEND?:)"and I said yes cause you know I have been crushing on him since freshman year and then we kissed under the stars,it was so magical.Then we spent the weekend together"I smiled at how happy she was."He makes you happy right?"she looks at me and nods with a huge smile on her face."So enough about me and Luca,and tell me about you and Ryder.I mean he must really love you cause do you see how he looks at you?did you the smile he just gave you?oh my god,you guys just make the cutest couple ever.Your babies would be so cute."and she squeals after her rambling.

I just stare at her with wide eyes.She I already thinking about babies when Ryder and I haven't been dating for that long."Our date was amazing.He took me to this amazing spot with an incredible view at the forest and he had a picnic and all arranged already with all my favorite food and we looked at the sunset and ate,talked and laughed and he said this beautiful speech under the stars and asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes then we kissed and continued talking and he took me home around midnight and he also came over during the weekend."

"Aww,that's so sweet."I was about to answer when the teacher walked in class and started teaching.

             Time skip to at Lunch

              (Too lazy to type)

Lunch

Ryder and Luca were already waiting for us by the class door so we went straight to the cafeteria.They told us to wait for them at their table they will come with our food so we went.

"So what are you doing after school?"I asked Bella."I am just going to spend time with Luca,why?"

I just shrugged,"just wanted to know."she nods and as i was about say something Ryder sits next to me Luca sits next to Bella.We eat and talk and I lay my head on Ryder's shoulder.

"So when are you going to see your father?"i ask him.He looks at me and sighs"I am going in 2 days and I'm coming next week."i look at him shocked"are you gonna be here on my birthday?"i ask him."yes,I wouldn't miss it for the world."i nod and the bell rings signalling us to get to class.

As we are walking,I tell them to go ahead cause I need to go to the restroom.And they nod.I get there and do my business but on my way to class,I bump into Brittney.

"You should stay away from my man or you wouldn't like what I will do to you."i look at her confused,"who is your man?"she rolls her eyes,"I'm talking about Ryder you idiot.Stay away from him.He is mine and mine alone."

I shake my head,"No,he is not yours.He is mine and it will stay like that."

"Well you should be careful from now on,I will get you for what you did and you won't like what I will do.Watch your back"

And she leaves me shocked.

I just carry on getting to class.Luckily the teacher hadn't arrived yet so I went to take a sit and notice that Bella was sitting with Luca so that meant I will be sitting with Ryder.

"Babe what's wrong?"i look at him confused."What do you mean?Nothing's wrong."he looks at me,"Then why are you so pale and look like you just saw a ghost,and don't lie cause you said we should tell each other everything "

I sigh knowing that what he said was true."Fine.Brittney just threatened me saying I should stay away from you cause you belong to her and I should watch my back cause I won't like what she will do."

"You know I'm yours and yours only right?You know your the only one for me and there's no one in this world that could even compare to you right?I wouldn't trade you for the world and don't believe what she says.But we will have to be careful cause we don't know what she is planning."

I nod,"I don't even know why she hates me so much cause I didn't do anything to her.I can't believe she used to be my best friend."

He hugs me not answering what I said and I don't blame him.I'm sure he is asking himself why Brittney said what she said.He looks so angry right now.

"Don't worry babe.I will take care of her."I nod and soon the teacher gets in class and Ryder stops hugging me and we listen to the teacher.

Soon its after school and Ryder drives me home."I'm coming later tonight OK.I'm spending the night with you."

"OK.See you tonight"and I kiss him then get in the house and go straight to my room to take a shower and change to my PJs and write my homeworks.

After 2 hours I was done so I ordered pizza and watched Netflix while waiting for Ryder to come.

After watching 2 movies I decided to make some popcorn then I heard the doorbell and I knew it was Ryder so I just shouted a "Come in"

And he just entered."Where are you!?"i heard him yell."In the Kitchen."after a few seconds I felt him hug me from behind and I relaxed in his arms.

"I missed you."i tell him turning around."I missed you too baby.That's why I came here as soon as I could.I thought I would go crazy if I didn't see you soon."

I just laughed at his exaggeration and kissed him."Babe its only been 4 hours since we saw each other.I'm sure you could have survived."

And he shakes his head aggressively."Nope.I wouldn't have.So let's just go to bed and cuddle."i nod and turn off the lights and we went to bed.

He went to bed with only his boxers and he was hot.Then we cuddled till we fell asleep.
