Forever Unstoppable - Hot Chelle Rae FanFic

Chapter 8

My heart dropped.

“Oh.. um, really?”

“Totally! I mean unless you have your eyes on him,” Ashley winked.

“I don’t” I blurted, immediately regretting it. Of course my stupid past had left me undecided about Ryan, but he was cute, and he made me actually feel wanted.

“Haha, ok! This week will be fun!” Ashley danced. “You should invite them over!”

“They’ll probably come barging in any second,” I said dazed in thought. I showed them to the 2 guest bedrooms across on the other side of the condo. We laughed, the girls told me about all the stuff happening back in my hometown. It made me miss my old home, but then I’d glance out the window to the sunset representing the heat of the day, which reminded me why I loved being here.

“Heyyy!”

We all let out a little scream as we jumped, turning around to see Ryan in the doorway of Ashley’s room.

“Crap.. Ryan! You scared the crap out of us!” I hollered.

“I didn’t mean to!” he laughed.

We got up and walked with him to the living room and found the other boys sitting in the living room. We joined them, taking a seat on the floor, Ryan sat next to me, which made Ashley give me a funny look. He reached for my hand, but I nonchalantly moved it to my thigh. Luckily no one noticed, except Ryan who’s face expressed confusion.

“Soo, us boys were thinking we should all go to the carnival downtown, to get to know our lovely new guests,” Nash said, glancing at Molly.

“That sounds fun!” Molly said, Ashley nodded in agreement.

“Er, okay,” I sighed. I felt drained, my mind was racing with thoughts, giving me a massive headache.

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

We arrived at the carnival and Ashley squealed with delight. “Let’s go on the ferris wheel!”

We bought tickets and stood in line.

“Who’s going with who?” Ian asked.

“I’ll go with Molly,” Nash stated, linking arms with Molly, who smiled and blushed.

“I call Ryan!” Ashley said. Ryan looked at me, I pretended I didn’t notice.

“Okay,” he mumbled, slightly frowning. Jamie stared at me, like he was trying to read my mind. “I’ll go with Eleanor,” he said. I smiled and we boarded the ride. As we started to move, Jamie loudly whispered to me.

“What’s going on?!”

“What do you mean?”

“Why are you not talking to Ryan?”

“Um.. I don’t know, it just seems Ashley is kinda into him, she wanted to go with him.”

“I thought you guys liked each other though?” he asked pouting.

“Jamie, I’m just a little confused right now.”

“He hasn’t stopped talking about you since you arrived Eleanor!”

“Really?” I asked bewildered.

“Of course! He’s confused too, he’s usually really flirty and cocky but he REALLY fell for you, and fast. I’ve never seen him like this before, he was so determined to get you,” Jamie said.

“I guess I’m just…. I’m just scared! I’ve haven’t had a real boyfriend, ever. All my experiences with boys have been horrible. And don’t know if I can trust Ryan, after all the betrayal and hurt. I’m scared…” Tears started to well up in my eyes.

“Don’t cry Eleanor! No! He REALLY likes you, you should give him a chance, I know him, and by the way he talks about you, he would NEVER hurt you! Trust me!” Jamie pleaded.

I smiled. “Oh Jamie…” I hugged him and he hugged back tighter, which comforted me.

“You’re really cool Eleanor. I really like you, I mean- not ‘like-like’!!!! Like a big sister!” he stammered.

“You’re really cool to Jamie,” I laughed messing with his hair. He fidgeted, trying to fix it quickly which made me laugh even more!

~RYAN’S POV~

All I could think about was Eleanor.

Eleanor’s face, eyes, her laugh, her voice, her lips..

I felt different about her, like I didn’t just want to make out with her, I wanted to love her, and hold her, and laugh and just be myself with her. She was honestly the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid eyes upon.

So I was EXTREMELY CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED when she didn’t even look at me. I thought she had fun on our date, and now she wouldn’t even give me the time of day. I assumed she was still a little scared because of that Nathan jerk, she definitely had trust issues because of him, but that made me want her even more!

And now there was this Ashley chick. She was cute but not like Eleanor. She practically threw herself on me, obviously displaying her little crush on me.

I felt bad, for kinda ignoring her high pitched speech about Minnesota when I was looking at Eleanor and Jamie in front of us. They looked like they were having a really deep conversation. Then they hugged… for a long time, too long for me anyways. I gripped the metal safety bar tightly, making my knuckles turn white. I wanted to hug her.

Was the love of my life really hooking up with my little brother?
