Stay

Chapter 23

Riley's POV

It's been a few days, since Erik and I 'broke up' and I got to say I've been handling it quite well. I mean so far no one expects a things, at least that's what I'm aware of. However Erik and I have been sneaking around to see each other the past couple days, I honestly cannot wait for the day, when Erik and I can just be together and have no complaints.

"Ah." I sigh

A girl can dream, right.

I pull my hair into a messy bun, before jumping out of bed and heading down the stairs.

They had a game at 11:30, against the Pens. It was an early one, maybe Patrick already left. I really wasn't in the mood to face him, I've been ignoring him the past couple days, so I don't no how much longer I can pull this off.

I frown once I reach the bottom step, great he's still here. I put on my annoyed face and walk into the kitchen.

"Morning Abby." I smile sweetly

Completely ignoring Patrick

"Morning Sweetie. Did you sleep alright?"

"Yup, like a baby." I grin taking a seat on the stool

"Hungry?"

"Starving!" I exclaim

Abby just smiles, handing me a plate full of chocolate chip waffles, and bacon.

Yum

"What? Still not talking to me?" Patrick asks

"Hmm Abby these are delicious!" I exclaim through a mouth full of waffles

Still ignoring Patrick

"Thanks dear." Abby smiles cleaning up a bit

"The silent treatment, really? Real mature." Patrick grumbles

"Who's a good boy? You are!" I say petting Patrick's basset hound Shooter

"Abby do something!! Make it stop!" Patrick whines

"You ruin their relationship, I would be pretty pissed at you too!"

"Hey! I thought you were on my side!"

"Girls stick together, ain't that right Riley?" Abby exclaims

I grin nodding my head

"Wow well aren't we very civil today." Patrick says sarcastically, standing up

"Well I'm going to go, before world war Ill starts." He states grabbing his gym bag

"Bye Hun, love ya." Abby calls to him before he walks out the door

"Bye."

Is the last thing we hear, before the door shuts

"Ok now spill." Abby tells me

"About what?" I ask shoving a piece of waffle into my mouth

"You and Erik?"

"What do you mean? We broke up." I say taking a sip of my orange juice

"Cut the act, I know you guys are back together."

I nearly spit out my drink

"Wait what?" I ask very confuse

"I saw you getting into Erik's car yesterday."

Shit.

"Patrick didn't see right?"

"No, just me, now spill."

Phew, that was a close one.

"Well we came up with this idea, where if we tell Patrick we're done, he would see how much it kills me, and how much Erik makes me happy, than he would have no other choice than to let us be together."
