chapter 24

RILEY P.O.V.
I called Taylor, carter's orders.
"Taylor?"
"yeah what's up?"
"can you come pick me up?
"why can't you come back with Matt?"
"I'll explain later, please just come pick me up."
"I'm on my way."
I waited outside, it was freezing. I had shorts and a t-shirt on. I missed the warmth of matt's sweatshirt - I missed Matt in general. But I can't go back to him. Not now at least-maybe not ever. I need to be stronger than to go back to a mistake. I can't let him control my life anymore, I need to do what I want.
When Taylor showed up I ran to the car, getting in. I began rubbing my hands together to create some sort of heat. Taylor drove to the hotel.
"what happened?" he asked.
"can we not talk about this now, but to sum it up. Matt and I are over. I don't want to see him again." I sigh. he nods and silence took over the car. "Carter and Shawn are being released next Wednesday." he says breaking the silence. I nod looking out the window as we reach the dark hotel. most of the rooms at The hotel were completely dark. The lobby was still lit up with the beautiful lights I always enjoyed looking at them. I lightly smiled, they still made me happy when I felt so empty inside.
"you coming?" Taylor asked.
"yeah, yeah sorry."I mumbled lowly. I sighed and put both my feet on the ground.
'this is probably good for me.'I smiled at my thought.
"Taylor, I'm going to get Starbucks, I'll get you your usual and bring it up to the room for you at all right?"
"okay" he smiled and kissed my cheek, walking up to the room.
I walk slowly into the small Starbucks, and there was only one working there. There are no other customers there either, just me and a very cute Starbucks worker.
his brown hair was swept to the left, his features were amazing. His green eyes looked over at me and then back to what he was doing.
"oh-uh. hi" his cheeks a light shade of pink.
"Hi." I smiled
"what can I get for you?"
"cotton candy frap. and a cool lime refresher both Grandes please. he nodded and smiled.
"Names?" he asked as he took out the cups.
"on the frap Riley and the refresher Taylor"
he nodded and and made my order and handed the drinks to me
"you didn't tell me the amount" I said with a confused look on my face
"on the house" he grinned "you look upset if you don't mind me asking, what's wrong" he looked up at me "my names Nathan by the way" he laughed softly.
"I'm Riley, would you like to sit down?" I smiled weakly.
"yeah sure" he sat down at a Booth and motioned for me to sit. I took a seat across from him.
"so what's wrong?" he asked kindly.
"oh, it's a long story" I spoke quietly.
"I've got time" he checks his watch "we close which is ten thirty and its nine now" he smiled. I returned his genuine smile.
"so, I had a crush on this boy, his name is Matt. So Matt asked me out and he and I were together for a while. And-Uh well my two best guy friends got into an accident and when I went to see them I fell asleep at the hospital. My boyfriend well ex, forced himself on my girl best friend. Then when he came to the hospital he was being a dick about the whole situation, saying that I always cheated." I looked at Nathan for a moment then continued "so after he was done yelling at me, I called it off." I frowned twisting the cup in my hand.
"I'm so sorry" I looked up at him as he spoke. his face had completely dropped.
"you deserve so much more than what he gave you." I gave him a small weak smile.
"thank you for listening. it means so much to me."
"anytime" he gave me a piece of paper. "here's my number text or call if you need anything or if you just need to talk-even if it's 3 a.m."
my cheeks turned a dark shade of pink at his words.
"thank you, I'll text you later for sure" he nodded and stood up with me and brought me into a quick hug after he released I grab Taylor's drink and started up to the room. I watched as Nathan went to serve another customer.
