Complicated Love

Chapter 1

I sat  on my bed with my laptop on my leg watching a new music video  that was out by one of my favorite artist, I've always felt  really relaxed and felt the mood of the song, I even usually  come to a conclusion that I love sad songs for no reason. I take my headphones off as I heard someone knocking on my door. ''hey ma.'' I say as she  walked into my room and sat next to me at the end of my bed, her expression seemed off and I felt my heart clench in worry. ''what's wrong?''' I ask closing my laptop and sitting up to face her. ''Hun...it's your grandma....'' she says with a broken voice.

My head starts to swarm with thoughts ''w-what  h-happened?'' my voice cracked.

''Sh-she fell off the stairs a...and is in a-c'' her voice choked tears settling in her eyes, I jump up in a shock. ''I-Is she  okay? is she hurt? shouldn't we go see her? ma...'' I was cut off my my mother. She wiped her eyes and cleared her throat "n-no you should stay dear, you have school and we don't want you missing out. Your father and i will go visit your grandma and update you." A tear slipped from my eyes and my mother then wiped it away.

"You know how strong she is...don't worry....she'll be okay." My mother consoled me as I finally began to calm down a little.
"When will you guys be leaving?" I ask, "your father and I have taken leave so we'll be leaving in about an hour and be back in about 3 months possibly." She says to me,

"Your brother will stay back with you so you don't have to worry." She says brushing my hair.

"I-I really hope I could go see her." I mumbled in my breath feeling sad.

"You will hun, just not now, you have to prepare for your mid-term exams."

"I know...." I replay with a small smile.

The next day

"Hey Mazieee!!!" A familiar voice exclaimed behind me, a smile crept on my face as I laughed when I finally felt a weight on my shoulder.
"Hun what's with the sulking mood?" Katie asks.

"Nothing much just didn't sleep well last night." I reply hiding my hoarse voice.  Which she clearly didn't believe, I sighed not wanting to talk about it, she changed the topic as she understood that I didn't want to talk about it.

Katie has been by best friend since we were in diapers, when we were younger my big brother Ben, and his best friend Ryder who is also her big brother would always hang out with us, we were all close to each other despite the one year age gap between Katie and I with our brothers.

We were really close but eventually after we en the entered high school in our freshman year everyone drifted apart. It's been a long while since the four of us has last hung out together.  Thinking back I used to had an enormous secret crush on Ryder, he was really really cute, and caring, though I obviously knew that he treated me like a sister, it sucked but hey....that's life.

A small smile made its way on my lips as I recalled my memories from back then, speaking of memories. I look up to see a pair of deep mysterious and seducing green eyes settled on me.

Speak of the devil

There he was the schools famous bad boy and jerk (in my mind he is a jerk)  staring back into my hazel eyes, with a look I can't quite catch.  He walked away from his group of friends who were nothing but playboys towards Katie and I, she looked towards him after noticing he was heading in our direction.

My mind froze, what was happening!! The last time Ryder approached us was since one of his buddy's pulled that stupid prank on one of our friends and i punched him in the face numerous times, Ryder separated me from the guy I was punching and even took his side it was the day I declaimed myself totally over my childish crush and mentally named him a big jerk in my mind.

He had a small smirk playing on his lips as he inched closer to us. I had a deep feeling he knew I was looking at him with the urge to beat him.

"Hey sis." He greeted Katie, turning towards me "hey babe" he smirked.

"Hey jerk face" I say as my teeth were gritting each other, ugh I really wanted to punch his face. I hated it to The core when he called me babe.

"Heyyyy!!" He exclaimed playfully offended causing me to scoff and roll my eyes, I folded my arms.

"What do you want?" I ask annoyed.

"Chill babe I just wanted to talk to my sister" he smiled making me roll my eyes again,  "oh I heard Ben is throwing a party?" He asks me, "I looked up initiatively, "no he isn't." I reply.

"Oh he isn't...then I wonder who posted  in the group chat on his behalf ?" He smiles. How I really wanted to wipe that smile off his face.

My eyes opened as I skimmed through the conversation in a group created my brother.
'....he didn't!!'I thought

Reading my expression Ryder replied "yes he did babe ."
