Once Apon A Heartbreaker

Chapter 21

Flashback to middle school
***************************
Jackie and I were at a table out side in the courtyard eating lunch.
"Hey look there's that mean boy I was telling you about in math."
She pointed out a boy with brown slightly curled hair. He had his back to us. He was just sitting by himself and he looked lonely. He turned around and I saw his face. He had pretty blue eyes but there was something wrong. He looked tired and angry.Which was also strange because we were only in 6th grade.
"He has nice eyes."
"Whatever he's still mean. He usually doesn't do anything in class. One day I asked him if he was bringing his dad to show and tell day and he said his family was none of my buisness. I mean He didn't have to be rude."
I just shrugged and looked at the boy.
The boy with pretty blue eyes.
Flashback over
************************
I wanted to have dinner at Ryder's tonight and meet his parents. We had been dating for like two months so I should meet his parents. I saw him in the hall and I ran up to him.
"We should have dinner tonight. "
"Okay sounds cool, I'll be at your place by-"
"No I meant at your house."
He looked taken aback.
"Why?"
"I wanna meet your parents. "
"Why? "
I rolled my eyes.
"Dude! Seriously I wanna meet them. "He looked serious.
"I am being serious. Why do want to meet them."
"Because we've been together so long?"
"Since we met or when we started dating "
"Dating. "
"Two months and six days."
"And how long have we known eachother all together. "
"Four months and eight days."
"I think I should've met your parents by now."
"Well you can't."
"Why not? I would love to get to know them."
"Because I said so end of story Alex."
He brushed past me and went to his class. Hold the fuck up. He never calls me Alex. Not even when he's angry, so he's hiding something from me. Imma get him to talk one way or another.
******************************
I was waiting for Ryder at his bike after school. He'd been passed all day, he gave me one worded responses at lunch. I didn't want to pry I just wanted answers . I saw him walk out of the school I knew t was him cuz he had pissy posture. Yep. He walked up to the bike and lifted me on kinda harshly. I banged my foot on the side of the bike.
"Ow!" I've never seen him whip around that fast.
"Princess did I hurt you?"
"Ryder calm down I'm fine."
He looked tired. He leaned and sighed with his head buried in my neck.
"I'm sorry. "
"No it okay I'm sorry for pushing you so much I should've respected why you don't want me at your house."
"No look come tonight and meet them and I'll tell you everything. "
I nodded and he got on the internet bike and we drove off. We pulled into my house and got off.
"I'll pick you up at six."
"Okay."
He kissed my temple and drove off.
I ran inside to chill for a little. I made a snack and read for a little while before getting up and going to take a shower. I got in really quick and I went back to my room. I looked inside my closet and I decided to wear a burgandry long sleeve crop top that dipped a little bit in the front and the sides cut out in little triangles and a black skater skirt.
I put on black lace up wedges and put little black bow earrings that were a tiny bit bigger than my other ones in my ears. I put on eyeliner and mascara and winged the eyeliner a little bit. I let my hair hair down but I straightened it and then curled the ends of it. I put on a black bracelet that Ryder gave me. It had a heart on the thin black chain and on one side of the heart was A+R and I adored it. I was only taking my phone so I grabbed Ryder's (my) jacket from the back of my desk chair and went downstairs. My dad was downstairs reading a book on the couch.
"Where are you going all dolled up."
"I'm meeting Ryder's parents."
"I've never been formally introduced to him."
I guess that is true. The door bell rang and I opened the door. Ryder looked sexy as fuck. He was wearing a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark jeans with his black bike boots and his black leather letterman jacket . He had his hair all messy which made him prettier to me.
"You look beautiful." I blushed but I felt someone come up behind me.
"Ryder I presume."
"Uh yes. Hello Mr. Summers."
Ryder shook dad's hand and looked nervous.
"Will I ever need my shotgun during this relationship son?"
"Dad!" Yea the Summers boys were very blatant when they want to get straight to the point.
Ryder swallowed and shook his head.
"No sir, I won't ever hurt prin-Alex. I love her and would never do harm to her." Oh shit. Ryder just said he loved me in front of my dad. He'll never let me date now. (Not that he ever started)
But my dad only smiled at Ryder and turned to me.
"Well you two seem fine so go have fun. You look beautiful Alex." I quickly took Ryder's hand and led him to the car. We were both still stunned by what happened.
"Well that went well." He just nodded. We got into his car(thank the sprinkles) and drove to his house. We pulled into his drive way. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"Are you ready."
I kissed his cheek to reassure him."I'm ready"
We got out of the car and he took me to the front door. He opened the door and let me go in first.
"What do you mean?" I heard someone whisper yelling from the kitchen. They sounded angry.
"I can't fix what you did!"
"Don't start Jacob you-"
"Mom. Dad. This is Alex, she's having dinner with us tonight. We stood in the doorway to the kitchen and I saw the lady and the man from the picture. But something was wrong with them. Neither of them looked at each other with love. They didn't look at each other at all.
The woman smiled stiffly
"Hello Alex."
"Hello Alex I'm Jacob."
"And you can call me Mary."
I smiled and shook their hands across the table.
"Nice to meet you guys." We all sat at the table there was a nice roast chicken with mashed potatoes. Mary must have cooked it herself.
We were about 10 minutes into the meal when everything started getting fucked up.
Mary has spoken to me.
"So what are you studying right now Alex?"
It was an on spot question but as I was about to answer Jacob spoke.
"Oh leave the poor girl alone Mary. You don't have to make things so complicated." Mary looked angry now, she turned her head to look at Jacob.
"I make things complicated? "
Mr. Taylor set his fork down and looked back at Mrs. Taylor who was seething.
"Yes Mary you always start problems." I felt like this argument went deeper than what I was studying.
"You start problems Jacob. You're the one who has the whores!"
Mr. Taylor stood up even angrier.
"What happens at work stays at work!" Mary stood up as well.
"Fuck you! I hate you!"
"Well fuck you too! You give me all this crap all the time! Let me breathe!"
"You can breathe fine asshole I didn't ruin this marriage!" That was Mr.Taylor's breaking point.
"LIKE HELL YOU DIDN'T!"
"BECAUSE I DIDN'T YOU DID!"
"NO YOU DID YOU NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE ME ANYWAYS!"
"WELL I DIDN'T FUCK MY SECRETARY! " Ryder had ,had enough. He stood up and called to his mom and dad.
"Mom! Dad! Please stop fighting!" They ignored him and kept arguing.
"Mom! Dad! Listen to me for once!" Mary was already on a roll so she turned on Ryder .
"RYDER STOP INTERRUPTING US WE ARE TALKING!"
"NO YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE SCREAMING AT EACHOTHER!" He yelled.
"DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT ME RYDER!"
"MARY QUIT ACTING LIKE A BITCH!"
Mary had taken enough. She picked up a glass full of water from the table.
She threw it at Mr.Taylor.
She threw it.
He ducked and it hit the cabinet behind his head. What the fuck! What the hell! What was this kind of bullshit?! Mary picked up another plate and threw it at Jacob again. He kept ducking and dodging the plates and glasses she threw.
"MOM WHAT THE FUCK!"
But she was ignoring him and she was yelling at Jacob.
"YOU DID THIS! I HATE YOU AND YOUR WHORES! YOU ALWAYS
START THE PROBLEMS!"
"MARY YOU ALWAYS USE VIOLENCE AND THROW SHIT AT ME ALL THE TIME THAT WON'T MAKE IT BETTER!"
Ryder was begging now. I realized this was the first time I've seen him actually in pain emotionally . My heart broke at the sight of him heartbroken.
"MOM! *SOB* DAD! PLEASE STOP YOU STILL HAVE ME!"
They both turned on him.
"YOU WEREN'T ALWAYS A GOOD THING RYDER!" Mary yelled.
"MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN HAPPENED!" I saw raw hurt come onto Ryder's face.
Now I was angry. Nobody speaks to my love like that.
"HOW DARE YOU. HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO YOUR SON ! HE IS YOUR CHILD AND YOUR BOTH BLAMING HIM FOR YOUR PROBLEMS?!YOU SHOULD BOTH
BE ASHAMED!" No body moved for a beat. Then Mary just dropped the plate that was in her hand and put her face in her hands. Jacob just looked at his shoes. I wasn't staying for another second in this house tonight . I went up to my baby, who was on the floor on his knees with his head in his hands trying to stop the tears. I got on my knees in front of him and took his face in my hands. I made him look into my eyes. I had never seen anyone with such hurt and pain in their eyes. His pretty blue eyes were not supposed to be filled with pain, but with happiness. I didn't say anything I just took his hands and helped him up. I took his hand and led him to the door and out of the house without looking back once. When we got to the car I stopped Ryder. I hugged him, I just hugged him tightly, he buried his head in my neck and hugged me back tighter. I could feel the wetness from his tears. He wasn't weak for crying, he was strong because he held it in for so long.
I cooed softly in his ear and kissed his cheek.
"Shh I'm here Ryder and I'm not going anywhere."
He nodded from the crook of my neck. I suddenly got a great idea.
"Come on let's go get a real dinner." He looked confused but I nodded and he got into the passenger seat. I was driving. I was gonna make Ryder feel better.
Sometimes even the prince needs saving.
