Love Will Save You // Ryan Follese

Chapter 34: Just Say You Love Me and I'll Say I'm Sorry

-Nash-

"Dude, what the hell was that about?!" I yelled, fully walking into the room. Jamie didn't say a word. He just sat down on the couch, looking at the necklace and ring in his hand.

"I fucked up," Jamie said quietly, more to himself than me and Amy.

"Yeah, you did fuck up! Do you honestly think she'd cheat on you?! And even if she would, do you really think she'd wait a year to try anything?! That girl loves you more than anything and you think she would just throw that all away?!" I just kept yelling; I couldn't stop. Danielle is like my sister and hearing the hurt in her voice before she left absolutely killed me. When Ian, Maggie, and Melanie walked into the room, they could tell something wasn't right.

"What's going on? We just saw Danielle run out of the hotel and it looked like she was crying," Maggie said, her voice full of worry.

"Where's Ryan?" I asked, noticing he wasn't with them.

"He went after Danielle," Melanie answered, "What the hell happened?"

"She broke up with me," Jamie replied quietly.

"What do you mean she broke up with you?!" Melanie yelled slightly.

"She didn't break up with him," I said, "She's just giving him time to think about things."

"She did break up with me, Nash!" Jamie yelled, then held out his hand to show the necklace and ring, "If she didn't, she wouldn't have given these back to me!"

"She gave them back?" Ian asked softly.

Jamie sighed, resting his head in his hands for a moment before standing up and walking toward his bedroom, mumbling, "I'm going to bed."

"You can't just go to bed!" Melanie said, annoyed, "You have to go get Danielle back!"

Jamie spun around, "I can't get her back, Mel! She doesn't want me anymore! It's done! We're done," he whispered before he walked into his room, shutting and locking the door behind him.

"Is anyone gonna tell us what happened?" Ian asked in an annoyed tone.

"From what we heard, Jamie told Danielle that he didn't want her hanging out with Nash as much because he thinks she flirts with him all the time," Amy spoke.

"So she gave him the necklace and ring back, telling him he needed to think about them, then she left," I said.

"Great," Melanie muttered before walking into the little kitchen we had in our room.

-Ryan-

By the time I had finally caught up to Danielle, I saw that she was being bothered by some guy. As I got closer to them, I could tell he was drunk.

"Come on, sexy. I know you want me," he slurred.

"Um, I think I'll pass," she said, trying to avoid him getting too close to her. He reached for her arm as I was walking up.

"I believe the lady said no," I stated firmly. Danielle let out a relieved sigh and rushed over to me, hugging my arm.

"You her boyfriend?" the guy asked, trying to stand still.

"No, but I know who she is dating, and he wouldn't like you messing with her either," I replied. He luckily wasn't a persistent drunk and just stumbled away from us as we began walking in the opposite direction.

"I'm not dating him anymore," Danielle said quietly.

I immediately stopped walking, "What are you talking about?"
