True Love... Or Nah (Matthew Espinosa Love Story)

Ex Boyfriend?

Emma's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few minutes?... yeah no. An hour or two later I felt someone tugging my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes to see Liliane staring down at me. "See! I told you she isn't dead!" Glancing towards the door I saw a familiar face. "Well I didn't know. She wasn't moving or answering me back." he said. Who was he? I can't remember his name. Trevor? No. Bradley? No. Ricky? No but I think it started with an R. Ryan? I think that was it. He started walking over towards my bed and I sat up. He gave me a hug and said, "I've missed you. It's so nice to see you again." Just in that moment my memory started to kick in again. Ryan was my ex boyfriend. One of my only real friends from high school. We used to always joke with each other, we were super close. After we broke up though we didn't talk as much and lost contact. "What are you doing here?" I asked as he released me from his arms. "I heard you were back in Chicago. I haven't seen you in a while and I lost your number." he answered sitting down. "You could have just asked my mom for it." I stated. He just stared at me. "...or tweeted me." I added. Still didn't say anything. "Give me your phone." I said putting out my hand. He gave me his phone and I put my number in it. As I handed it back to him he said, "I just didn't want to bother you... ya know, you've got better things to do." "You wouldn't have been bothering me, I can tell you that." I giggled. He gave me a smile. "So what have you been up to lately?" I asked hesitantly. "Ummm nothing much, just school. You missed a few parties but I know you've been busy." he answered. "Yeah. Sorry about that. It's just we've been on tour and we've been traveling a lot." "I've heard." he said back. After a minute of awkward silence my phone started ringing. Startled I jumped up and about fell off my bed. "Babe😘" popped onto the screen and I answered it. "Hello?" I said into the phone. "Hey babe, are you coming back to the hotel soon?" he asked. I looked up and saw Ryan's smiling face turn straight. Matt was talking loud enough for everyone in the room to hear him. "Uh yeah. Sorry I fell asleep. I'll be there in an hour or two." I answered back. "Okay. We're going to the store again and we picked everything up from earlier this morning. I miss you." he says. "Matt, it's only been less than a day." "I know but I would much rather be with you than here." he whispered and chuckled. "Well I got to go but I love you and I'll see you soon." "I love you more." I ended the call and set my phone down. "Sooo... Matt?" Ryan asked. "Um yeah." I said nervously. "Oh okay." There was another awkward silence for quite a few minutes until I finally said something. "I should probably start to get ready." "Yeah. You can uh... go and do that. Yeah do that." he responded. I sped walked into my bathroom and got out the makeup that I needed. "Hey Ryan?" I said as I redid my hair into a high pony tail just to get it out of my face. "Emma?" he said back. "You know just because things happened and me and Matt are together now doesn't mean we can't still be friends." I yelled so he could hear me. "Okay I guess that's cool." "Okay now stop acting like a stranger and get over here." I laughed. I turned on Stitches by Shawn Mendes. "I love this song." he said walking towards me. "Sammmeeeee! Shawn is just gawwwwgous!" I yelled fooling around. "He's gawwwwgous?" "He is gawwwwgous!" I said picking up my brush pretending it was a microphone. I went onto snapchat and started taking a video. "AND NOW THAT IM WITHOUT YOUR KISSES ILL BE NEEDING STITCHES!" I sang and danced. I started putting on my makeup and once I was done with that I plugged in my curling iron. I let down my hair and once it was hot enough I started curling it. It took about 30 minutes until I could unplug it. "Are you done yet?" Ryan asked. "Yeah almost." I answered. "Okay after this do you want to go out to get stuff to eat or something before you leave?" "Sure. Let me get my money too then." I said walking over to my dresser. I kept spare money in there in case of emergency. "No. I'm paying. It's all on me." he said grabbing my arm. I turned around and said, "Uh are you kidding?" "Nope. I'm buying everything." I gave him a glare and he started walking out of the room. I grabbed my phone and purse that I put some money in, still convinced that he wasn't buying mine. I wasn't even planning on eating a lot. I walked down the stairs and to the front door where I had dropped off my shoes. I slipped them on and went over to the kitchen where my mom was standing. "Ryan went outside if you're looki-" she started but I cut her off. "No I know where he's at. I'm going somewhere with him before I leave. Bye." "Okay? Um bye. I'll see you later and call me if you need me." I ran to the door and walked out making sure I didn't slip. I hopped in his car that was already running. The music was blaring when I got in. It was so loud to the point where I could hear it without even opening the door. "Really?" I chuckled. "Yeah really, now calm yourself. Where do you wanna go?" "Starbucks!" I yelled. "Total white girl still... okay let's go b*tch!" he yelled and I laughed.
