Chapter twelve: Why Am I in This Mess?

*RILEY’S POV*

Blaze was just sitting on her bed glaring at me as if it was her heart I broke. I might as well have with how much hatred she was looking at me with.

“I get it,” I said angrily. I have had enough of this glaring. “I know I broke your brother’s heart. But give me a break! You try liking two guys at once! It’s not that easy!” With that I stormed out of the bedroom, and slammed the door. I just started walking out of the dormitory when I realized a couple of things that gravely upset me. One, it was pouring rain and I had forgot my coat in the room. I can’t just go back in there I sighed. The second came when I realized I had no idea where I was going.

I can’t go to Ryan, I’d probably just hurt him worse. And if I went to Reese he might try to take things too far again. I don’t know if I’m ready to do all that yet. I’m not even sure if he’s really the one I want to do it with the first time. Why are things so complicated? Why must I be in this mess?

Then, BAM. I slammed into a metal door. I screamed about a million profanities as I raised my hand to my face, which hit the door the hardest. I drew my hand back quickly when I felt a warm liquid coming from it. “Fuck.” I said angrily and kicked the door, then let out another scream. I didn’t realize I even walked out of the dorm barefoot.

This is just great…

*REESE’S POV*

I can’t believe that Ryan and Blaze had to choose that moment to waltz into the room. Why then? Why at the moment when I was going to get Riley?

I rolled my eyes thinking about how angry Blaze and Ryan were then continued on my jog. Jogging always helps me calm down and not punch idiots like that in the face. I swear I could have been the shit out of that idiot. I’m sure he told Riley that I say what I told her to every other girl I want to hook up with. I don’t though. I’ve only ever told that to Riley and my ex girlfriend. And that was because I thought I had loved her, then she went and shattered my heart.

That’s why I’m such a player now. I don’t want to be hurt like that again, and this is the one way I can ensure not getting hurt like that again.

Then Riley came. Dear Riley. The American that has stolen my heart. I would do anything to make her happy. Anything to see her keep smiling her beautiful smiling. It’s like my main goal in life is to make sure she’s happy.

I heard sobs coming from my left that pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked over that way and saw the one thing I didn’t want to see. There, sitting sopping wet in the rain, was a crying Riley. I quickly sprinted over towards her and sat down.

“What happened?” I asked worriedly, trying to pull her hands away from her face. She glanced up at me and let me pull her hands away. Her whole lower face was covered in blood. I gripped her hands in mine and asked again, “What happened to you?”

“I- I ran into the door,” She said with a nervous chuckle. I gave her a grim look and she sighed.

“I meant why are you out here soaking wet, in the cold, with a bloody nose and crying?” I said and looked her in the eyes. “

“Blaze kept glaring at me and I snapped at her. I stormed out of the room and came out here. I didn’t realize it was raining,” She said between sniffles. She’s going to get sick out here.

“Oh, beautiful, come on. Let’s get you somewhere warm,” I suggested pulling her up,” Then we can fix your bloody nose as well.”

She smiled and thanked me and we were off on our way. I can’t believe I’m going to take her, once again, to my grandmother’s house. We were going to be alone. Again. I’m not sure if I can completely handle myself around her. There’s just something about her that makes me want to be as close to her as I can be. It’s as if she’s a magnate and I’m being pulled towards her. Or I’m the earth and she’s the sun.
