Chapter 51

Ryan's POV

I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed that Chris left a mark. Rylie noticed it as I walked into the house and up to my room after Chris told me about our date and after my talk with my brother. I'm just lucky that my brother didn't see the mark last night. I knew that my brother would react differently if he had seen that mark.

Today was a long one and yet it flew by fast. What was I doing right now? Well, I was standing in my room looking at myself in the mirror. It was almost time for Chris to come pick me up for our date that we would be having. I know I shouldn't be worried or nervous about this date tonight. Tonight, we would be talking about the blow up about the videos that me and Blaze had done.

"Knock, knock, are you ready for tonight?" Rylie asked me.

I turned to her and said, "I'm not sure. I love him Rylie and yet at times I feel like I'm betraying what me and Cody had."

"Oh, baby girl, no. Never think that because we all love you and we want to see you happy and if Chris is the one who makes you happy then just be with him. I know you two need to talk about you and Blaze and maybe you should also talk about how you're feeling right now. I know you love Cody with all your heart. I know that Cody would want you to move on from him and be happy." Rylie told me.

I knew she was right because that is what Cody told me the night he had passed away, but I had refused to even do that. I still wear the ring that he gave me as an engagement ring as well as our promise ring,

"Rylie do you know that he had asked me to marry him, and I said yes. He asked me a week before he had died. I love him so much and I think I'm scared of moving on. Yet I know I should I mean with my ex that was a mistake because I was hurting so much. I'm thankful of Blaze for pulling me out of my dark past. Is it wrong to be happy again?" I told Rylie.

"Don't think like that Ry. I know you're scared but I think you and Chris could be good together as long as you both take tonight to talk about everything." Rylie told me.

I knew she was right. Rylie knew how to get me out of my head and stop overthinking about everything from time to time. I loved her for it.

"Knock, knock, you ready Ryan because Chris is downstairs waiting for you," Called my brother.

I face the doorway and said, "Is it too late to call this off?"

"Yeah, I don't think so Red," said Blaze as he walked into the room.

"I think I-" I started to say but was cut off by Blaze.

"No. Don't fucking go there. You said you would talk with him and now you are going to do this shit. I'm sorry Ghost but she really needs to do this, and I need to say this. Ryan Rose Sola, you need to get that little hot ass down there and go on this date with Chris. Tell him how you feel, how you think things should go and what not. Because so help me I'll lock you two in a fucking room," Blaze said to me.

I knew that Blaze would do just that lock me and Chris up in a room if I didn't go on this date. I sighed and nodded my head. Blaze smiled at me, but when Joey walked into the room my heart dropped. I love him as if he were my own son and he was the only thing left of Cody.

"Auntie are you going to give that Chris person another chance?" Joey asked me.

I walked over to him and picked him up and said, "I am if that is okay with you, love."

Joey smiled and said, "I like him, and I know Uncle Cody would be happy that you are moving on."

I knew he was right, everyone in the room knew it to. i put Joey down and looked at my brother and said, "I'm ready."

I walked out of my room down to the entry way of the house where Chris would be waiting for me. When I reached it, Chris was standing there with flowers in his hand, and he was dressed up in a suit. When he noticed me staring at him, he walked over to me and took my hand and kissed it.

"Are you ready for our little date?" Chris asked me.

The only thing that I could do was nod my head at him because I was ready but nervous at the same time. We walked out of the house to the rental car that Chris was driving around town. He opened the door for me, and I got in and Chris walked around to the other side and got in.

It was quiet in the car on our way to wherever it was we were going. I looked out the window and noticed that we drove away from the city, and we were in a small town. We drove until Chris pulled into a driveway that led to Rylie's parents' winery.

"Chris what are we doing here?" I asked him because I was a little confused.

"Rylie talked with her parents and helped me plan this date. She knew that we needed to talk. Listen I know I don't drink and that I'm straightedge an all, but I thought this would be a privet place for us to be able to talk." Chris explained to me.

I nodded my head. Chris got out of the car after we parked, and he walked around to my side and opened the door for me. We walked up the steps to the winery and when we were about to walk in, Rylie's mother walked out to greet us.

"Ryan it's so good to see you again my dear." Rylie's mother said.

She went and hugged me, and I hugged her back and said, "It's good to see you as well. How have you been? Little Joey has been telling all sorts of stories about every time he comes for a visit."

She laughed and said, "Well come in and I'll show you to one of our privet rooms for you two to use. Ryan I'm so happy you are starting to move on."

"I'm trying. It's still hard and I blame myself for that night, I should have been with them in that car." I told her.

"No. I know you blame yourself, but you were not the other driver. So, stop it. I'm just glad you met someone who wants to be with you and even Rylie was helping him out today to set everything up for the two of you." She told yet again.

Once we were led to the room, she opened the door and left us. I sat down and Chris sat across from me and said, "I already ordered our food when I was here earlier today. So, what was that all about?"

I sighed and looked down and said, "Rylie's mom and I were really close until they all died. I grew away from her because I blamed myself for what happened. Joey and Rylie tried to get me to come back here but I refused. This is the first time in a long time I've been here. Truth be told, I used to help out here until the crash."

Chris leaned forward and said, "I know everyone told you about how you shouldn't blame yourself about everything that happened to you. But at the same time, I see where you are coming from. I love you Ry and that is not going to change and yes we will be talking about those videos."
