I Said I Wouldn't Fall But...

Brook's Play Date

Riley and I got home within 20 minutes. We walked up the stairs to my bedroom and I closed the door behind us. Riley jumped on my bed and folded her arms behind her head, as I walked over to my dresser and took out two pairs of sweat pants and two pairs of  t-shirt. I tossed a pair of clothes to her and turned around. We changed into our clothes, back to back. 

I turned around to a fully clothed Riley. She had on a black t-shirt and a pair of dark grey sweats with the strings hanging loose from the waist band. I had on a plain white t-shirt with a pair of grey sweat pants with the strings tied into a bow.

"So what do you wanna do tonight?" I asked falling onto my bed.

"Lets plan it out."

"Huh? Plan what?" I asked, confused as hell.

When does she ever make sense? Oh yeah, huh, never. I thought to myself rolling my eyes at Riley.

"The fake boyfriend plan." She said as if it was obvious.

"Oh" I said dreading the fact that I actually went along with this bullshit plan of hers.

Ugghhh.

"So we have to make Nolan really jealous, okay?" She said.

"Yeah" I mumbled more to myself than to Riley.

"You know what we gotta do." She said giving me that knowing look of hers that I hate.

"Yeah I know." I said sadly, sitting up and putting my face in my hands.

"Come on you have to do it he hurt you too bad for you to just let it slide." She said, obviously getting mad.

"I know but I'm better now" I mumbled afraid of getting her mad. I guess she saw that I was getting scared because the next thing she said surprised me.

"You know why I need you to do this." She said calmly.

"Yeah I know" I sighed laying down in bed.

"Your gonna be fine, babes." She said, trying to make me feel better.

"How do you know that?" I asked getting under the blankets with Riley.

"Because I'm gonna make sure you are." She reassured me.

"Thank you" I said, grateful to have a friend like Riley.

"For what?" She asked, cutting the light off and hopping back into bed.

"Everything." I said snuggling into her shoulder.

"No problem" She said wrapping her arms around me, before I drifted off to sleep.

~Next Morning~

I woke up with my face still buried in Riley's shoulder. I wiggled out of bed, making sure not to wake her up. I went to my bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I left my bathroom, tying my hair up in a bun. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand as I sat on my bed. I checked the time and saw it was barely 6:00 am. I fell back onto my bed and got under the blankets. I took my computer out from under my bed.

Okay, I already know that your probably asking 'Why is your computer under your bed?'. The answer to that question is because I don't want my little sister to mess with it.

I got my headphones from the nightstand and plugged them into the computer. I went to Netflix and put the earbuds in my ears. I was looking through what was recommended and stopped when I saw the show that my Riley had mentioned to me before, 'The Fosters'. I clicked on it and began to watch the first episode.

After a few episodes of 'The Fosters', I noticed Riley moving around in bed. I paused the show and took out my earbuds.

I put my computer on my desk, across the room. I walked out the door going down the stairs, to the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge that said 'Had to go to work early today and you have to take Brook to her play date with Skylynn, Love you'. I put a piece of bread into the toaster. Riley came down the stairs a few minutes after.
