Everything Happens For A Reason

Emma's POV

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

"Total white girl still... okay let's go b*tch!" he yelled and I laughed. He drove off and I checked my phone. Shawn snapchatted me, replying back. "Yo that's pretty dang cool." he said. Then, "Who's the guy?!?" I heard Matt say in the background. "Aye it's a fanboy." Taylor said. Then it ended. That was from 15 minutes ago so I texted them in the group chat.

Me: Hey

That was it and by this point we're at Starbucks. I used to ride my long board here in the summer even though it was like 10 minutes away by car. We walked in and Ryan started to order. After, he asked what I wanted. "Um I want a double chocolaty chip frappe grande but I'm going to pay." I said and smiled. "No you're not." he argued and handed the lady working there his money. "Dude, that's not fair. I tried to be nice and you aren't letting me." I whined. He just laughed. It's pretty pointless in me trying to win at a fight. I always wind up loosing arguments which sucks. We walked over to a different counter and waited for our drinks to be made. We got them and sat down and started talking about what has been going on in the past year. "Nothing really big happened as I said earlier. Just living life to be honest. Nothing special, nothing cool, just relaxing." he said, I nodded. "I've been on tour for the past few months. Made some new friends and tried some new things. " I paused stumbling on some words. "Got a boyfriend but I mean I know you probably don't want me to talk about that so I won't." I said really fast. A few seconds later I saw two familiar faces walk in through the door, thankfully stopping the awkwardness. It was Liliane and Nash. "Oh hey Ryan!" Liliane said walking over to us. "Um hi." he said back. "Hey Nash and Liliane." I said as I sipped my drink. Nash waved and smiled a cheesy smile. They went up and ordered and then my phone dinged. Nash sent a picture of me on the group text saying, "Look who we found😏." It really doesn't shock me that he said that. Everyone started asking what I was talking about so I turned my phone on silent. Liliane and Nash both came over to us and pulled up chairs. They sat down and started talking to us. "So what are you guys doing here?" Nash asked. "Just... ya know... drinking Starbucks." I said gesturing to my drink. "Yeah that makes sense." he said back. Ryan looked down and pulled out his phone. A moment later my phone buzzed from inside my pocket. I pulled it out to see who it was. "Do you wanna leave?" Ryan texted. "Uh yeah sure. What are we going to do after?" I answered. "Anything you want but first we need to stop at my house. I need to get something." I started to stand up as Ryan did the same. "We'll see you guys later." I said throwing away my empty cup. "Where are you going?" Nash yelled. "Home!" I yelled back. Opening the door for me, Ryan took out his keys with his other hand. He unlocked his car and we both got in. He started driving and soon we were at his house. We hopped out and walked through the large front doors. He has a decent sized house and only lives a street away from me. Going up to his room, I heard someone call his name. "Ryan! Who else is over?" He stopped midway up the stairs and started walking back down. I followed him to the kitchen where his mom was standing. "Oh my gosh. It's so nice to see you again Emma!" she exclaimed. "It's nice to see you again too Mrs. Posey." I said back with a smile. "I was just going to get something from my room and then we were going to go somewhere else." Ryan added onto the conversation. "Okay. Tyler and his girlfriend Olivia are upstairs too so just a warning." she said as we started running towards the stairs. Once again we went to his room and he told me to sit on the bed. He went into his closet and started rummaging around. Something fell and it made a loud noise. "Are you okay in there?" I asked confused of what he was doing. "Yeah I'm all good." he answered coming out of it. He walked over to his dresser and opened all of the drawers until he came upon a black box. "Okay I know this is really late but I got you this for your birthday. I really hope you like it." he said opening the box. He pulled out a silver bracelet and slid it on my wrist with all of my other ones. I looked closely at it. Everything happens for a reason. I look back up at him with a grin on his face. I hugged him and he hugged back as I lied my head on his shoulder. "Thank you so much. I love it." I whispered. After a minute later we went back downstairs and he decided, because of the time, he was going to take me home so I could get back to the hotel for Matt. We pulled into my driveway and I got out. "Bye Emma. I hope to see you soon." he said from his car and smiled. I opened the door and said, "Bye. I'll see you sometime later this year. I'll text you when I get off tour about what's going on." "Okay see ya then." he yelled and drove off. When I got inside I saw that my mom still had people over so I quietly went upstairs and got everything I came with. I texted Matt that I was on my way back and to meet me in the inside pool area of the hotel. I told him I would make it up to him for leaving and I know how.

Authors note,

I don't know if this is up late or not but I was not home yesterday to write some more. I am out of school now so I hopefully will be trying to write more and more. I don't know if I'm going to make a schedule only because I probably won't update on those days anyways so I don't want to say something and then not have it happen. If I were to update on one day of the week what day would you guys want it to be? Thanks for all of the votes and reads. It really means a lot to me. Byyyeeee👋🏻

XOXO Emma😘
