*Chapter 2*
I snapped back to reality after I realized that I was staring at my phone for about 5 minutes already, surprised by the name I saw. "Ryan". As to my surprise, it was Ryan.
Ryan was one of my crushes in school, or should I say "because of school"
I met him in one of our soirées in 1st year. Ever since that, we became close friends. He was a gentleman, he had fair skin and curly hair. Not to mention he was an athlete.
He constantly invited me to hang out with him and sometimes, even watch his basketball games. The reason I admired him the most is because he was always there. Whenever I needed someone to talk to, I could just easily contact him, and he'll comfort me with ease. Also he was the one I shared the most time with, more than my.. family.
All though we've been friends for almost 3 years, and he's been consistently doing these stuff for me. I never thought myself that he had the same feelings towards me, or at least he never showed signs of it. Not until, not until today.
I opened the message I've been staring at and it read "5pm tonight, I need to tell you something, I need you."
My eyes widened at the sight of this. He barely texts me early in the morning about stuff going on in his life. Or should I say, he never did at all.
I composed myself and took a deep breath, there was only one thing in my head right now, and that is, I need to go, I need to help him, he needs me.
I went downstairs to look for my mom and ask for permission. I saw her by the swimming pool, I carefully approached her and tapped her shoulder. I said the words I needed to for her to approve it and by the look of her face, I can tell that she was facing something. She was pale, it was as if she'd lost a loved one. Oh wait, she already did. I somehow feel sorry for her, but dammit, that was almost 5 years ago.
I turned back after she nodded at me. Signaling that she allows me to go.
I went back to bed and realized that I haven't really shared quality time with my mom, and I never knew what was going on on her mind lately. But that thing is for me to handle tomorrow.
Today, I just want to focus on Ryan and I's get together.
