Chapter Eleven: When It All Falls Apart

*RILEY’S POV*                                        

My alarm started ringing and I groaned. I was so not ready to wake up. Not yet anyways. Today was the day that Reese and I enact our “plan”. It’s not really a plan though. He just wants us to date so Ryan gets jealous and sees what he’s missing out on.

Over on the other side of the room, I could hear Blaze stirring and then she shouted. “Turn that damn thing off before I break it! We don’t have school today, I kinda wanted to sleep in!” I sat up and quickly turned the ringing off. Although I absolutely love the song that was playing. It was Everywhere I Go by Hollywood Undead this lovely morning.

“Sorry,” I muttered as I climbed out of my bed. I grabbed my clothing as quietly as I could and trudged to the bathroom to get ready. I took a quick shower to wake me up before getting dressed. After drying off and putting on my undergarments, I pulled a white sundress over my head. It’s one that billows after it reaches my waist and has a matching gold belt, which I put on as soon as the dress was on. The next thing I worked on was my makeup, which was the same as every other morning. Then I blew dried my hair and straightened it board straight.

When I got out of the bathroom I was shocked to see Blaze sitting on my bed staring at me with a death glare.

“What I do?” I asked confused. She tossed me her phone which was open to a text from Ryan saying: She chose Reese, I don’t see why I should even stay any longer. “I- I’m sor-“

“Save it. I thought you loved my brother. But boy was I wrong! I thought we were friends!” She said then stomped out of the room after snatching her phone from me. She slammed the door, and that’s when I knew I really screwed up.

I was left with silence. I could feel my heart snapping in half. I sat on my bed reveling in my mistakes until I heard a soft knock on the door. I jumped as I was pulled out of my thoughts and called,” Who is it?”

“It’s Reese!” The other person called back.

I sighed then told him he could come on in. The door opened revealing a very worried Reese. “What’s up?” I asked.

“Well I thought you and Blaze might’ve had a fight. I saw her glaring at me throughout all of breakfast, and you nor did Ryan ever show up,” He replied. “And now I see that you’ve been crying. Why didn’t you tell me how distraught you were?”

I hadn’t even realized I was crying until he mentioned it. I could only imagine how horrible I looked at the moment. “I didn’t think you needed to be stressing about it,” I replied with a shrug.

“You were told I was only ever after sex weren’t you?” Reese asked quietly. I nodded and he continued speaking. “Look, Riley, I really do like you. You’re not like all the other girls here. You’re special and different. Not only because you’re American either. You’re genuinely real and kind. I didn’t really think that they would tell you that. I’m really not that kind of guy. Girls always throw themselves at me because they think because I look like a player I am a player. I’ve always dreamt of finding my true love,” He sighed and put his face in his hands. “Look, Riley. I think I might be in love with you.”

His confession shocked me into silence. Why do guys have to complicate things so much? I asked myself. I stood up instinctively and wrapped my arms around him. It was only meant to be comforting, but Reese took it as something else, because he lifted his face out of his hands and kissed me softly. His arms snaked around my waist and he kissed me again, but longer and with more passion. I could feel his tongue skimming my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I granted its wish.

I have no idea how long we were standing there making out, but I could tell he wanted to take it farther than just kissing. He started backing me towards the bed and started skimming the hem of my dress, hiking it up further and further. We both fell over on the bed with him on top of me, and we didn’t stop kissing. Reese got my dress up to my waist and tried to start working on my panties right as the door slammed open. We jumped apart and there was an angry Blaze and Ryan standing in the doorway.

“Seriously? You couldn’t have taken this anywhere else?” Blaze demanded, obviously still pissed off from earlier. Ryan just stood there looking completely heartbroken. I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through his mind. “I thought you were better than that Riley!”

Reese gave me a quick peck on the cheek and stood up to leave. “Text me later, okay?” I nodded and he pushed past Ryan and Blaze before closing the door behind him.

Then Ryan finally spoke up, “I bet he gave you the old ‘the girls just always come on to me’ trick didn’t he? And you fell for it! Do you seriously think he cares for you?”

“He’s been giving that little pitiful talk to every girl here for two years now,” Blaze said disappointed. “I honestly thought you’d be smarter than that.” I could feel tears rushing down my cheeks as they lectured me. Couldn’t they tell how confused I am? “Obviously you’re not the girl we thought you were. Let’s go Jake. We’re going to be late.”

At that they left, and I sat there still crying. I heard my phone ring and the caller id showed my mom was calling. How perfect of timing you always have mom.

I took a deep breath before answering. “Hello?”

“Hey babygirl, how is everything?” My mom asked, her voice cheery and wistful. Such a bittersweet reminder of home.

“Fine,” I said shortly.

“Hun, we both know that you’re not fine. I can hear the tears in your voice sweetie,” She said knowingly. This is exactly why I love my mom. She always knows how I’m feeling even if I say the complete opposite.

I spilled everything to mom. Everything from the time I first got here and now. She took a couple minutes before replying. Probably trying to think of the best advice she could give me.

“I think you should tell Ryan and Reese how you really feel. There’s obviously something going on with Ryan that it making things hard for him to cope with. It’s also obvious that both the boys really care for you, in one way or another. Just try and work things out. If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. Just let the chips fall where they may.”

“Thank you mom,” I replied gratefully.

“You are very welcome sweetie,” She replied. “Now then, I have got to go, your father has reserved us seats at a restraint and we can’t be late. I love you.”

“Love you too mom.”

Now I just need to find out which of the boys I actually have feelings for. I wish my mom could at least tell me how to figure that much out. I have to do this on my own though, I can’t have my mom hold my hand through everything. We all need to learn these things at one time or another.

I hope I learn this lesson fast.

 ***

So, are you guys Team Reese or Team Ryan? I know most of Team Ryan thinks that Reese is a complete bad guy hindering Riley and Reese from being together. But he's not. I promise. You'll get to see into his head into upcoming chapters.

So, i hope you enjoyed this chapter, and i hope you don't hate me for putting such an intimate scene between Riley and Reese instead of Riley and Ryan. I was begged by several people for something to spark Riley and Ryan, and don't worry, it'll happen. Just not yet. 

Anyhoo, write your comments below and stay sexy!
