My Life With YTF

Chapter 11

<RYAN'S POV>

I had the bag of all the alcohol in my hand. I walked to the park and sat down against a tree. I pulled a bottle of beer out of the bag and grandpa's old pistol out of my back pocket.I laid the gun down on the ground and chugged the beer. I quickly pulled out another bottle and chugged again. when I was done with about half a case, I was feeling terrible. I was pretty much about ready to end it all. I pulled the gun slowly to my head. And of course, about that time, Chester runs up to me.

"Ryan! What are you doing?!"

"I told you, Chester. I hit Becca. She almost died. It's all my fault."

"No, It's not. It's nobody's fault. It just happened. A freak accident. Give me that gun. You don't have to do this. Everyone loves you too much to lose you."

Thinking:

Am I really about to do this? No, I can't. I don't have the balls to do it. Yes, I can. I almost killed Becca. I'm a terrible person. No, I can't! Grandpa would never forgive me.

I looked up at Chester one more time and he had tears rolling down his cheeks. I guess my friends really do care about me. I slowly pulled the gun away from my head and gave it to Chester. I jumped up and gave him a hug. Probably a lot faster than I should have because, short after, I threw up behind the tree from all the beer.

"Hey Ches, Let's not tell anybody about this, please?"

"Of course buddy. Whatever you want. Wanna go back and see Becca now? Justin texted me and said she wanted to see you."

"Sure. But let's stop and get a few bottles of water first. Maybe that wil make me feel better."

<BECCA'S POV>

I was half asleep when I heard a familiar voice singing one of my favorite songs ever.

"I'm clenching my booty (booty booty)

I'm clenching my booty"

I opened my eyes to see Ryan standing at the door.

"H...hey Ry, Where h..have you be..en?" I could smell something very strong. It smelled kind of like..alcohol.

"Uh...in the park. I was just taking a walk, ya' know, just getting some air. Some guy spilled his beer on me, if you can smell it."

"I th..thought I smelled someth..thing f..funny."

"Becca, I have to tell you something."

"Go ah..head."

"I was the person who hit you." He blurted out really fast

"What?"

"I was in the middle of texting you, to see if you and Chester where still coming to the party, and I didn't see the red light. I'm so sorry Becca! You could have died and it's all my fault. I understand if you hate me and never wanna speak to me ever again." There was a long pause of awkward silence, "I'll just go."

He was up out of the chair and almost out of the room when I said "Ryan, I c..could never hate y..you. You are th..the best fr..friend I have m..made out here. (besides Chester of course) It's n..not your f..fault you hit me. I..i..it was a freak a..a..accident. Now g..get over here and hug y..your best friend bef..fore I start c..crying."

He ran up to the side of my bed and gave me a bear hug.

Almost simultaneously we said "I love you best friend."

Eventually I got out of the hospital and started going to physical and vocal therapy. My stutter went away and the right side of my body was strong again. Mallory, Emily, and I decided we would buy a house together in L.A. so we could stay with our boyfriends and new best friends. Me and Chester got more serious. He even started to let me be in his videos! Some songs, skits, and I even convinced him to start vlogging! Me and Ryan got to be really close best friends, and me and Poppy got closer again.

I woke up the next morning around 10:30 a.m. and Mallory and Emily were already gone, but they left a note on the fridge.

"Went to get groceries and run errands. Be back in a bit!"

I was feeling kind of hungry so I made some chicken flavored Ramen Noodles when I got a text from Chester.

"If ever a day goes by that I don't say I Love You, know always that I do. <3"

I texted him back and said "Aww I love you too baby. <3>

Then I get a text from Ryan.

"Hey. Wanna hang out today?'

"Sure! What are we gonna do?"

"Well I got the new COD (Call of Duty) game."

"I'LL BE THERE IN FIVE."

i jumped in the shower and walked to Ryan's house. I love how we all live right there in the same neighborhood.

25 MINUTES LATER

I was on a roll. Already passed level 16 when Ryan paused the game.

"What are you doing?! I'm doing really good!

Ryan just looks at me.

Then.

He kisses me.

I pull back and open my eyes, already full of tears, get up from the couch and run out the door to the park down the street.
