That One Friend Group: Summer Feud

14. Stryder

I turned around and saw- Oh my God. Wyatt. Oops. Why is he here? Wyatt is my old friend and I was really close with but he moved away to America so I don't know why the hell he's back. "Wyatt?" I asked and he smiled. "Yup." He tried to hug me but I pushed him. "Why are you here?" I questioned and he sighed. "Am I not aloud to take a walk in the park?" He said with attitude. "What's with the attitude?" I asked and crossed my arms. "Nothing!" I said and he opened his arms to ask me to hug him. So I did. I could tell that the rest of them were shocked that I actually hugged a guy but I was really close to him and he was my best friend. I got out of the hug but saw that Rose and Isa were gone, I looked up at Asher and Layla and Isa was going off on Asher. Stan him. Just kidding he's annoying. "Who the fork-a-doodle-doos are you?" Josh asked Wyatt and he looked at me then back to Josh. "Sorry?" He replied and Josh looked at me then pointed at Wyatt. Destiny and Tayler came over to listen. "He's just my old friend." I said and Josh crossed him arms. "Just a friend?" He said and I told him yes. He scoffed then said okay and walked back to his swing. We stayed at the park a little bit later until my phone started blowing up like crazy. I looked down and it was a bunch of messages from Asher. What does he want? I opened them and they were all saying to go up to the bench he was at and hurry before Layla came back. I told the rest of them I'd be back and went up to him. "What?" I said and Asher looked up at me. "Are you cheating?" He asked. What the-. "What?" I questioned. "Don't play dumb! I saw you hug that guy!" He exclaimed, why was he so mad? He's the one with a whole new girlfriend! "What the hell do you mean?" I asked. "We never broke up Jordan!" He yelled. "Yes we did!" I was so confused on what he meant. "We never said that we're breaking up!" yelled again. "That doesn't need to be said to confirm a breakup! Besides, your here with a whole new girlfriend! I was just hugging my old friend!" I shouted and the whole park went silent, oh God Asher is making a scene. "I'm not dating her! She's my friend! Isa said that as well!" He kept yelling at me. We went back and forth in an argument until I stopped him. "Asher stop! I'm not arguing with you any longer. We're breaking up! I don't want a selfish boyfriend who will yell at me when I just want to go home to make sure my best friends okay and plays the victim instead!" I was on the verge of a breakdown, I really did love Asher but I can't spend the rest of my life with him! He's toxic! I wish I never met him, I wish I left Stella to deal with him. WHY DID I FALL FOR HIM?! "Fine! Be like that! I shouldn't have left Luella." He pushed me and I just slapped him and then walked back to the swings, trying my hardest to keep all my emotions inside. I went back to the swings and just let them out. I told everyone what happened while having the biggest breakdown ever. I hate myself, I shouldn't have fell for him in the first place, I should've let him deal with Luella for the rest of his freakin' life! I really do hate boys.

**TIME SKIP TO NEXT WEEK**

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I looked over and saw it was Stella. "What?" I said exhausted and she seemed to excited about something. "You won't believe what happened?" She said and I was too tired to deal with anything. "Your moving away as well? Yay." I said and she stopped. "Sorry, you woke me up." I said and she fake laughed. "It's fine." She said. "So what happened?" I asked.

**1 DAY EARLIER**

Stella's POV:

"Where are we going?" I asked Ryder. It was so early in the morning and we were walking to some mystery location which I wasn't aloud to know about. "You'll see." He said. "I'm too tired!" I announced and he laughed. "You always are." We kept walking for a bit until he stopped. I looked at him confused. "Put this on." He said and pulled out a blindfold? Oh no what's gonna happen. It better not be some stupid prank. "Okay?" I was scared. He put it on and it smelt so bad but I didn't want to complain because i'm not like that. Well I am sometimes but that's not the point. He helped navigate me until he stopped and counted down. I felt him starting to remove the blindfold and when he took it off, I was even more confused. "What's this?" I asked him. It was a stage looking thing with a curtain over it, hiding whatever was below it. "It's for you." He said and ran over to remove the curtain. It revealed a microphone and a guitar? "What?" I asked again and he pointed at the guitar. It was pink and had text on it which everyone knew meant a lot to me and they all knew that I've been wanting it forever. "It's for you." He said again and my jaw dropped. "Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Thank you!" I ran up and hugged him. "But why the microphone?" I asked still confused. "Go back down there." He pointed to the grass which was off the stage. I went down and he stood in front of the microphone. Oh no save me. He started singing and my ears exploded but I wasn't going to complain because it was my favourite song, Bloody Valentine. I was so happy when he stopped because my ears stopped bleeding. I wasn't going to tell him how horrific his singing was and in stead be grateful because I think that's what he wants me to do. I started clapping. "Stella, can I ask you something?" He said and I said yes. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked and I smiled. "Yes!" He jamp off the stage and tripped a little bit before running up to hug me. Well, I have had a crush on him for a long time so this is so special to me. And! It was exactly how I've always wanted someone to ask me out, singing BV. I was a little confused on how he knew that or maybe it was just a lucky guess but either way I'm so happy right now.

**PRESENT TIME**

I told Jordan all of that and she seemed so happy. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed. "I wish I could hug you right now because I so would!" She said, I'm glad that she's happy for me because I didn't know how she was gonna react. "You wanna know how he knew to sing that song and get you that guitar and stuff?" She asked me. "Sure." I said back and she chuckled lightly. "I told him, I was in on it. I'm so happy that it worked!" She said. "You were?" I asked. "Yes! He asked me a while ago so I said yes because you did try and help Parker ask me out so I thought if you done it then so could I!" Wow, I'm actually really surprised. I didn't think that she would be in on it but it made me really happy that she was because she wanted it to go well. "So, congrats!" She congratulated me and I said thanks. She said she had to go so we said bye and then I remembered what I had to do today. We had to set up Tayler's goodbye party. I don't know why we're doing it so early. He's not leaving for another two weeks but it's also Chris's first day out of hospital so we have to pick him up. It's gonna be a crazy day!
