** this will be a short story. It's just a glimpse. I'm lying lol

DELANO POV

Catching up to Gia who was walking rather quickly with Ryan.

"GIA WAIT UP!" I yelled.

She looked back but ended up walking at a slower pace. Finally catching up to them I made her stop "look I want to apologize on behalf of bria".

Gia put her hand up "please don't apologize for her. Cause she would never do that".

"True but it wasn't right for her to do that infront of Ryan" I said. Meanwhile Ryan was still playing his game.

"You know I try to keep him away from all of that. But it doesn't seem to be working" she said.

I wasn't sure if she would go back with me... "would you want to ride back with me or I guess you can bus it".

She turned to the bus stop and back at me "fine let's go".

I smiled "yes let's go".

To say I was upset at Bria was an understatement. For the fact she goes through life thinking it's okay to treat people like that... especially around children.

Looking up I saw Ryan just staying to himself. This time he didn't even speak to me. His game was charging. He sat at the table like looking out the window.

Clearing my throat "you okay?".

He nodded.

Yup he's not talking to me.

"Ryan umm... I wanted to say sorry for what happened earlier. None of it was your fault" I said.

He turned to me "you know I don't know what it's suppose to feel like to have a dad. But when we were at lunch it felt like we were a family. That feeling felt nice for that little bit of time".

There goes the guilt...

"Wow Ryan... umm you are an awesome smart kid. Any man would be lucky to have you as their kid" I said.

He sighed "yeah sure, not my dad. He hates me so much he doesn't even want to be in my life".

Blinking a few times cause I wasn't sure if Gia would want me to keep this discussion going. But I felt for Ryan though. You can see he's hurting.

"Did you tell your mom about how you are feeling?" I asked.

"I do, but she says the same thing every time. It's whatever. Never mind I said anything!" He got up and walked to the bathroom.

Rubbing my hand over my face... maybe the things Bria said did affect him. Dammit.

GIA POV

This is why I stay to myself.

I don't want drama.

Bria us crazy. Always have been. I don't see what Delano finds in Bria. She's a mean heartless person who only cares about herself.

Ryan's dad used to work here when we were seeing one another. Of course Bria wanted him but he wanted me. She couldn't gab for the rejection. When I found out I was pregnant she went crazy. She made up all these rumors how I trapped him. Or how Ryan wasn't his.

He did good. He didn't let Bria's jealously let him loose sight on us.

Until...

Well... that's another story for another time.

But I removed myself from Ryan's dad which I hate cause Ryan deserves a loving father. He's an amazing kid. Then when Bria quit I was relieved. I moved up and then boom Delano and Bria began dating. It's like the nightmare continues!.
