My mountain man (Ryan x female reader story) - Life is Strange: True Colors

You're depressed, you talk to your mom

It's been a couple hours since you've got home from college as you were thinking and planning of dropping out and you still are planning to. All you did was lay on your bed and keep on crying as you stared at your ceiling in your bedroom. You kept on receiving text messages from your friends and also from Natalie. Your friends were keep asking you in the group chat if you were still coming to the homecoming dance later that night, you said that you don't feel like going anymore and you don't want any more drama if Elijah and his gang (his friends) are going to be there and you're just feeling depressed and that you don't want to go anymore and that they can go without you, but they said that if you're not going, they are not going because they feel like it's best and it would feel wrong if they went to the dance without you. You appreciated them for that but you still felt bad, after they said that, they told you that they are there for you no matter what and they will always love you and that you will always be the leader of the group and asked you to text or call them if you need anything. You received a message from Natalie saying that she is so sorry for what happened in cooking and baking class and said that she embarrassed that she was even Elijah's girlfriend and told you that she broke up with Elijah and said that he is suspended from college for a couple weeks and that he is expelled from football for the rest of the year and for the football season. She even told you that she is there for you whenever you need someone to talk to or hang out with, you appreciated her saying that. But then, you heard knocking on your bedroom door.

(Your mother's name): *she knocks on your door* "(Your name)? Can I come in, sweetie? I made you dinner."

(Your name): *you sigh* "It's open."

(Your mother's name): *she opens the door and enters into your bedroom with tray with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a small bowl of mashed potatoes, a roll on a small plate and a glass of water, she looks at you with concern as she sets the tray on your bed side table, she sits on the side of your bed* "Is everything okay, honey?"

(Your name): "No, mom. Everything is not okay."

(Your mother's name): "What's wrong? Why are you home early from school?"

(Your name): "I'm dropping out."

(Your mother's name): "What? Why?"

(Your name): "Because I've had enough!"

(Your mother's name): "Enough of what? What do you mean?" *she looks at you with concern*

(Your name): "Of being bullied every fucking day! It's Elijah and his buddies. Everyday I get bullied, either it's my shyness, my passion in nature photography, or... even dad..." *you start to sob harder*

(Your mother's name): *she has a concerned on look on her face and she hugs you* "Oh, honey... I'm so sorry." *she rocks you gently a bit while she hugs you*

(Your name): *you hug your mother back and you keep on sobbing and crying while you were hugging her*

(Your mother's name): "Shh... It's okay, baby... Just let it all out." *she keeps rocking you and she strokes your hair while she hugs you*

(Your name): *you sigh* "I miss dad..."

(Your mother's name): "I know, (your name)... I miss him too. He loved you so damn much." *she looks at you and she wipes your tears with her thumbs*

(Your name): *you nod your head and you close your eyes as your mother wipes your tears* "I loved him too and I still do even though he's not here."

(Your mother's name): "So, do you wanna tell me what Elijah said?"

(Your name): *you sigh* "Me and Allen were in cooking and baking class and it was a regular day in class, me and Allen were cooking and Mrs. Lee gave us an A for our grades in that class, me and Allen were so happy that our results turned out great. But then, Mrs. Lee gave Elijah and Natalie a bad grade because their meal didn't turn out great and he got so pissed off and jealous of me and Allen because of how amazing we did and he started bad mouthing me like he always does. He said that I don't deserve to get good grades or to be everyone's favorite student, that I will never be a photographer just because of my shyness. And then he said... He said..." *you start to cry again*
