Riley

Can someone please tell me why I'm so pissed off at that one snide dig. I thought I had escaped all of this petty drama when I move out
Yet here I found myself sat at James and I's old spot, the place we used to escape everything 
I sat here scrolling through some old photos

Things with Spencer has always been perfect, from the day we met until today. There has never been drama, ghosts from the past, everything was so great
His family adores him and accepted me with no hesitation 
He opened my eyes to all the potential I have and has done nothing but support all of my random projects I start, even if half of them i don't bother to finish

I don't think I could find any sort of whole in our relationship. Sure we've had are arguments here and there but we always fought for a relationship at the end of the day 

I remember the day his parents told us they were having another baby, to begin with Spence was in shock at the fact he was 23 and his parents were having another baby - he'd always been a only child
but the moment his baby sister Olivia was born he shifted his whole perspective on it 
Watching the pair of them grow together, Spencer took being a big brother to a new level and Olivia was adoring every minute of it

Olivia and I bonded straight off the bat too, she can't quite say Riley so I've always be Leyley while she's Livy
I've never thought about having children but I don't know part of me thought about it when I watch Olivia and Spencer together

Spencer is the type of guy that I can be an idiot with one minute but can have the deepest of talks the moment after. He won't ever dismiss how you feel but he will make sure to keep you on track

He's a heaven sent honestly, but I don't think I would have accomplished as much as I have without him
When i told him about my idea of the Studio, he told me all the perks but didn't hesitate to remind me of the disadvantages but nevertheless supported any and all choices I've made for it

Spencer seems to be the person I needed to keep my grounded, the keep me on the path that my life is meant to follow and he makes the journey even better
It's never a dull moment with him
From all our car dance parties, our midnight snack runs or the lazy morning in bed

Sometimes in life it isn't about the path your taking or the journey. It's about the company you choose to take with you
And I think I made the right choice

One that I must say was a day to remember

It was the day before James was meant to be leaving for England. I remember he prepared the date with the band and we were served baloney sandwiches
I couldn't help but smile thinking back to it

James and I were toxic at times but at the times we were okay, we were also just as perfect
James helped me come out of the shell that had been made for me, I was not Emily's little sister in his eyes and he helped to show everyone around us that 
He unlocked a new Riley none of us knew was there 
But I guess even the best things in life can fizzle away  

I will never hate James, I will never have any bad feelings towards him. Our breakup was a mutual decision it was nobody's fault at all - but sometimes I do wonder if we didn't give us a fighting chance you know?

"Ha, fancy seeing you here" A voice said making me jump, I turned to see James walking over, I smiled at him locking my phone as he took a seat next to me
"You alright?" He asked and I nodded
"You?" I asked and he sighed nodding

"I want to apologise for Jess" He said and I offered him a smile
"It's okay James, I get it. Some people aren't as understanding about us" I reminded him and he nodded
"Yeah but you aren't the first person she's been like that with. She did the same with Piper" He said making me give him a look
"She got jealous over Piper?" I asked and he nodded

"but to brighter things! She's gone" He said making me widen my eyes
"Oh James I didn't mean to make you break-" I started before he stopped me
"Ri, you didn't do anything, I broke up with her myself. It was something I needed to do anyway, you were just merely a means to her excuses" He started to explain
"I'm just sorry she used you for it" He said and I sighed looking at him placing my hands on top of his

"I've dealt with Beth, there isn't anything worse then that" I said making him burst out laughing with me
