Katie had invited Malcom and some of her other friends.Rylie was sitting near the edge of the pool, with one leg hovering over the water .
I'll get the popcorn,Katie shouted ,Rylie just gave a slight smile and jumped down to stand on the shallow bits, It was cold but she didn't shiver, she felt the cold water run through her, she took support of the stairs to look at the big screen that Katie had brought for the movie night, Rylie didn't like the idea of watching a movie while sitting in the pool, but Katie had assured her that Malcom was bringing fold ups, she was shure that even if he did bring them , something would end up going wrong and they'd have to watch the movie "in" the water.Rylie stepped down and decided to have a little swim, she put her head down and she could feel her hair coming in her way she folded her legs and started to push up, she flopped her hands , and pulled her legs upwards but something was wrong her other leg wouldn't come up,she didn know what was upholding it and she couldn't open her eyes , she tried to push up but she couldn't she managed to leap up to get some air but her leg was stuck and when it got pulled it got seriously sprained, she tried to shout but the words mumbled down and all she could hear was the noise of the water splashing up and down but soon that curved and she could not longer hear,she stopped moving because that would burn too much glucose and that way she wouldn't loose her breath for a longer time, soon she could fell her float up but her leg would pull her down whenever she would go up, she couldn't move now she was there still in the water, she couldn't do anything,she could feel her being pulled up but at this point she couldn't tell if it was just the water or something else, she felt like a passenger in her own body.
'Rylie!'he crashed down beside her, grabbing her face, but her eyes didn't open.'Rylie!'Hynjuin lowered his ear to her nose, listening for her breath.It was there.he settled on his knees, placing the heel of his hand in the middle .,he covered his hands with the other, leaned up and started to push down . Hard.
One, nothing
Two,A gasp
Three, he could hear her gasp even harder .
Four, what, alongside a deep breath.
Five, who invited you, she got up.
Rylie ,no please, listen to me.
Rylie got up , and tripped down again, she had forgotten about her sprained ankle.
Please just forgive me,I didn't have a choise.
Rylie had almost forgotten that Hynjuin had always known that it was her and not Amanda .
I'll never forgive you,she said in the loudest tone ever.
She started limping up one one foot putting all the pressure on it, in order to go , she felt his hand on her shoulder,
Don't touch me,!he listened
What happened Rylie!Katie asked
Nothing just got hurt,and why is Hynjuin here.
You never told me you guys fought?
We , just tell him to leave .
We can't.
Why ,Katie why?
Jezz, chill,look behind you.
Rylie glanced behind her and there he was talking with her father, well he was just nodding , besides Rylie couldn't hear most of what they were saying because of her clogged ears.
Rylie no please , can you atleast give me a chance, Hynjuin stood standing beside her,on the fold up chair.
Just one more chance.
But after this you'll leave immediately,and this is not a suggestion mind you , it's an order.
Ok, I'll do anything.
Just get it over with what excuse do you have.
Its no excuse, and I'm sorry for not texting you, it's just that my father had taken the phone and I couldn't talk to you, I didn't ghost you, It was my father he was gonna throw me out if I didn't do what he said it even got to the point that he tried to break my phone.
Then who texted this , Rylie said showing him the messages.
I can assure you that I didn't text that, and I have CCtv footage of him trying to break my phone.
I don't believe you . Rylie said turning away.
Look at this, he pointed at the video of his step father trying to break the phone.
What if it's edited , Rylie said.
Its not, you can look at the pincode and I know who the killer was .
I know that it was Hquers.Rylie said .
No, it was not just one person .It was Marinica and another person.he said with watery eyes.Rylie wondered if it was glycerin or real.
Hynjuin pointed towards a CCTV footage of Camelias house.
I've allready seen i-tt Rylie's jaw dropped she could see a man talking to Her and then pushing her inside.
Hynjuin then started to explain how this happened but Rylie told him to stop.
Is there something wrong? Hynjuin asked looking towards Rylie's eyes.
No , it's just that I don't think that we should be discussing this right now, you know with everyone around.
You're right , I'll tell you about it once the movie gets over, or-Rylie cut him just tell me during dinner, ok I think I can stay for that long , Don't know about my step father's thoughts on this thoug-Rylie pressed her index finger towards his mouth and told him to stop and that we could handle his dad later.
I'm back!Katie screamed with excitement when she saw the projector all rolled out.They all layed down and started watching the movie.
Now this is what we call Netflix and chill! Malcom said.Woah this thing lights up !Kaylee said with awe while bringing in the drinks.
Is that-kaylee cut of Hynjuin no it's not what you think This is apple juice and this is brenva your fav fruit jelly mix. And Capri suns.
Who still drinks Caprisuns?
Rylie awkwardly raised her hand.
Everyone burst into laughter. They didn't have frooties in USA!?we get it Rylie you don't need to explain, Malcom said.
They all watched the movie but Kaylee kept laughing at all of the emotional parts and that made the others laugh too. Once the movie ended they all dried off and headed inside for dinner.
The moon was shining brightly, it had a eerie silver coat to it, But it was still beautiful.
For dinner they had pizza's. Everyone did NOT share.
This is the most delicious pizza I've ever eaten! Malcolm said while taking a bite from his pineapple pizza.
I'd rather hold my self at gunpoint then eat that!said Katie elongating her words wayy too much.
I am sorry , Rylie whispered to Hynjuin who was sitting beside her.
It was never your fault it was always me.hynjuin replied.
Do you guys wanna go one one last trip before college? Malcom said. Pressurising on the word trip.
Yeah, Kaylee said.
Why not, Katie said.
Rylie just nodded.
Hynjuin you can come too you know? Malcom said.
No , I can't but thanks for thinking of me .
Why can't you come, Rylie said looking at him in the eye this time around it was not out of rage.
Well, I need to file a case on my step -dad.
Cooooool.katie said,Rylie nudged her.
Ow!Katie said.
Rylie put her hand on top of Hynjuin's and smiled.
Well I have to go now , said Katie,
We should go as well now.Malcom said . They all waved goodbye . And left her dad was still in the kitchen trying to find where he put his sweets.
Rylie was sitting out there in the front yard with Hynjuin .
It was my father Hynjuin said.
What?Rylie asked.
It was Ronnbe'nett Ramsey.
I ams I sorry.Ryliebsaid with a frown on her face.
Its ok, he was never there anyways, I'd always wondered why he left know I know.
Why did he-?
Cause my mum had found out about it, but she had no proof.
Not to be a hypocrite but can you walk me through what you found out?
No it's totally ok, so basically he'd come to her house to make out but she said no.
Why did he wanna -Hynjuin cut her off .well she had probably asked him for money to go to Oxford but you know what I mean.
Yeah, Rylie nodded as she felt the first drop of rain fall to her hands.
Then he must've put Ryphonal in her tea and then he took her to the forests ,but I still don't understand what happened afterwards.
You remember the pink mini skincare fridge that went missing?Rylie asked.
Un hunh.
It could just be that he performed rigor motis to reverse the time of death along with some other formalities and then he saw John and then made it look like he unalived himself.
That would explain the defense marks on him.hynjuin said scratching his head.
Yes, that's even more evidence and the hoodie must e been worn by him as well.Rylie said.
And that means that the person holding Camelia wasn't john. Hynjuin said in excitement.
Yes Rylie nodded.
It started to rain even harder know and Hynjuin told her to get up and he pulled her towards the rain and......."tag your it"
We're not kids anymore Hynjuin.!Rylie shouted through the rain.
Well, your gonna go to college and then you'll be an adult so .
Ok I get it.
They chased eachother in the rain.after Hynjuin got tired they sat down.
Tired so quickly?
Nopes,he got up and tag she was it again , now they acctualy had to go in because they were soaked wet.
Rylie's father was sitting there and smiling towards them thinking about how lucky he was, he looked towards Rylie's mum's picture and smiled at it ,'If you were here you'd be as happy as me.
