Happiness [Book 2]

Chapter 47 - Never Let You Go

"You know, this has been the best holidays ever," I said as Ryder and I were lying in my bed.

"Definetely." He nodded. "But before I go back to Miami in a week, I want to do something with you," Ryder smiled, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"What is it?" I asked, looking up at him.

"That is a secret." He laughed. "We'll do it today, though, hust you wait and see," He chuckled.

I smiled and moved in closer to him. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Marls, more than anything."

Ryder and I were sitting on the bed, looking through his word documents as he told me all the work he had to do. 

"And then there was the assignment about the bunsen burner," he told me, opening a slideshow and talking to me about it. I was interested in it, but I was more curious about what Ryder told me this morning. He wanted to do something with me, but he didn't tell me anything more than that; I was curious. 

Suddenly, Ryder stood up with a smile on his face. "Where are you going?" I asked, grabbing his arm.

"I'm taking you somewhere, and do not ask where or I'll have to not take you." He chuckled, picking up his jacket and putting it on. I, with a smile, pulled on my jacket and watched his as he slid on a beanie.

"Can't you tell me?" I begged, giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Nope." He shook his head with a smile, walking to the door and opening it for me.

"Mom, we'll be back!" I shouted, not waiting for her response before running out of the door.

"Come on," Ryder urged, grabbing my hand and running down the front stairs of the house.  "I'm so in love with you." Ryder said, walking down the street.

"I'm so in love you," I told him, kissing his cheek.

"You're so adorable," He whispered, dropping my hand and putting it around my waist. 

Before long, we were out the front of... McKinley? "Why are we here?" I asked.

"'Cause." Ryder shrugged, taking one of my bobby pins out of his pocket and picking the locked doors of the school that I entered through every morning.

"Ryder!" I shouted, grabbing his hand. "You're not allowed to do that!"

"I just want to be remembered for being fun, Mar, and plus, it will be fun... I won't get to sing with you again until I'm back next time, and I want to sing in the audtiorium." Ryder whined, getting the door open. "Yes!" He whispered, welcoming me into the dark, cold school. 

The lights were off, only natural light coming in through the snow blocked windows. "Don't be scared, Marls," Ryder smiled, pulling me into a hug. "If anything runs in here and tries to hurt you, I will jump in front of you and protect you."

I kissed his cheek as we entered to auditorium from the top door. I ran in, the room so dark I couldn't see my own hands. 

Ryder hit his hand on the wall multiple times before the lights came on. "We're going to sing!" Ryder smiled, jogging down the steps. I laughed and followed him to the stage. "I love you!" He stood a metre away from me. "And Jake told me that you were scared I'm going to forget you," He sighed, taking a step closer to me. I smiled and dug my hands into my pockets, looking up at him. 

"I want to sing this to you, because I love you too much." He took his phone out and put it on the piano, turning up the volume.
