When The Stars A-line Riff x reader West Side Story 2021

Chapter four

We continue walking around the city all while making more trouble and more Jet's joining us in our cool gang walk.

Eventually we come to a rode and I have a flash back:

"Johnny watch out!" Johnny turns around and stops in the middle of the street.

I run full speed and push him out of the way of the car that's speeding past. The car almost misses us both but it caught my ankle and ran it over with both wheels.

"ow" I mumble to my self but Johnny must have caught it because he lifted me up and off the rode so we could recover on the sidewalk.

He took off my shoe on my right ankle, nothing. So he took off my shoe from my left ankle and that's when he finally spoke up.

"Delilah are you okay!? It's- your like bleeding everywhere! I think you need doctor like right now!" Johnny started panicking.

"Johnny just put some pressure on it- I'll be fine," I say.

*End of flashback

I pop back into reality seeing Riff stare at with concern written all over his face.

"You okay doll?" He questions. I blink twice.

"Yeah- sorry I just spaced out for a second," I say and put a smile on trying to send the message that I am fine.

He grins back slightly before turning back to his usual cocky personality.

We continue walking around the city and I finally understand who there rivals are, the Sharks!

There are Porto Rican boys that seamed to just move in town recently, like a month or so ago. They seem nice to everyone except the 'gringos' well more specifically the jets.

"Delilah! Stay away from them- there nasty Puerto Ricans!" One of the Jet's- I think Ice told me.

"No can do- I have never interacted with one of them before so how would I know if there as bad as you say," I say because I believe everyone deserves a chance and should not be judged by the color of there skin.

"You'll be sorry then, Delilah!" He says to me then goes back with the pack I roll my eyes Riff looks at me and scoffs.

"What?" I ask him.

"Nothing nothing I just agree with Ice that you should stay away from them for your own good- you know, doll?" He says as we continue to walk.

"Okay but that sill will not change my mind lover boy," I say because I've decided that he also needs a nickname if he's going to call me 'doll'.

He smirks then turns around to the Jet's.

"Let's see Tony, how bout it?" He asks them.

"Sounds good"

"Sure"

"Okay"

He turns back around to me and tells me "Looks like your going to meet my best friend today doll"

"Okay lover boy" I say and we continue walking to Tony's .

We finally stop at Docs- the place I stole a candy bar yesterday. I stop dead in my tracks and look at Riff.

"Do you think they will remember that I stole a candy bar yesterday?" I ask him.

"Yeah, but who cares! I steel candy bars ever time I have ever came here since I was like five," he states as if it's not a big deal and pulls me into the store with him and the rest of the Jet's we're with.

We walk in and I almost immediately see that tall blonde boy I say yesterday. He points at me then turns to some older lady who probably owns the place.

"Tony!" Riff shouts to him, I tense up and do a 180 and head for the door.

"Delilah!" Riff shouts, I ignore him and run out side passing every one who comes my way.

I still hear shouting behind me as I try to loose them by twisting and turning my way through the city streets.

"Delilah!"

"Delilah"

I hear it all but I'm to chicken to face them right now. I keep running and running till I'm out of breath and can't hear them anymore.

I collapse on the ground right next to the docks where I was the past day. I'm in the perfect spot to see the water and the stars in the sky so I'm happy.

I start having a break down though. It isn't about anything in particular but it's just everything- running away from my family well not really only my dad but I hate him with all of my heart. Um just all the stress hits me like a bullet and I can't stop sobbing.

I put my head in my knees and hug them trying to protect myself from the harsh cruel world.

I hear something coming for me, some thing then it suddenly stops then starts moving again but at a slower rate.

'Click'

'Clack'

'Click'

'Clack'

That's what I hear an the wooden tiles till it stops, drops to the ground, and wraps its arms around me.

I take a deep breath in then smell his sent Citrus and cinnamon. I immediately know it's him.

It's Riff.

I find concert in his touch once again and lean back into him.

He adjusts his body and mine so I'm sitting on his lap with both of our legs straight out parallel with each other's, his arms are securely wrapped around my waist with my arms on top of his to make sure he won't let go, and lastly his head is on top of mine because compared to him I am really short. I think he enjoys it though- the position we are in.

It feels like he is my knight in shining armor and I am the princess being rescued by him but in reality it is way different.

Instead he is my knight with battle scars wounds and a stern voice while I'm a scared little mouse that ran from her own life to start a new one unaware of all the change and challenges that would come her way.
