Wild Hearts (Ross lynch)

Chapter 2

Riley

I haven't spoken to Ross or any of the Lynches since I stormed out 2 weeks ago. Sometimes, I see Ross go back and forth to his car with Courtney. Sometimes I catch him coming home at 3am. I've also been getting texts from Rydel and sometimes Riker but, I never reply. Rydel will come to the door but, I never answer.

My cuts have healed but, every once in awhile I'll add another cut. It hurts to know that I was basically nothing to Ross. He was just acting. I really do miss Ross. I miss them all, actually. I miss talking to people.

My mom hasn't really been home because she's always traveling for her job. I've been very lonely, depressed almost. Sometimes I work up the nerve to go over there but, then I'm like 'no better not'. But today, I think I'm going to hang out with Rydel. It's her birthday and I want to take her to Dunkin Donuts.

"Hey Delly! Happy birthday!" I exclaimed when she answered the phone.

"Riley OMG! Hey!" she replied. I heard some mumbling, almost like Ross' voice.

"You wanna go to Dunkin Donuts?" I asked, knowing that is her favorite place.

"OMG YES!!" she exclaimed.

"Come over when you're ready." I answered, slipping on some converse.

"Be over in 5!" Rydel replied before hanging up. I quickly ran upstairs to brush my teeth and hair. I added some makeup and then went to wait for Rydel. Soon enough, my BFF came through my door.

"Delly!" I yelled, giving her a hug.

"We've missed you being around the house." Rydel replied while hugging me.

"Ya. I might come over later." I answered as we walked out to my car.

"That's fantastic! I know everyone misses you."

We drove to Dunkin with just the sound of the radio. I was contemplating my life choices as we drove. I mean, does Ross even want to see me? Does he even want to talk to me?

"Rydel, can I ask you a question?" I asked as we pulled up to DD.

"Go right ahead!" she said with a smile.

"Do you think that Ross wants to see me?"

"Well, he smiled when I said that I was talking to you earlier. I honestly think he misses you." Rydel explained before we ordered.

"You think?" I questioned.

"Ya. I think he feels bad for what he said. Him and Courtney aren't doing good either. He's just been in a bad mood. Angry at the world." Rydel said.

"Not to be mean or anything but, do you think he pushed me out of his life because of Courtney? He was perfectly fine until they started dating." I replied while we got our drinks and donuts.

"That might be it! I heard Courtney telling him that she thought that Ross was cheating on her with you. And, he tried explaining but she wouldn't listen." Rydel explained as I drove us back to my house. That bitch! I can't believe she would think that! Ross and I have never even kissed! We've held hands but just that one time at six flags when there were tons of people and he didn't want to lose me. So what Ross said was a lie.

"So Ross lied?" I mumbled.

"I guess. I've never liked Courtney, personally. Every time a fan comes near Ross, she barges between them and starts eating his face." What Rydel was saying was making me want to drive faster. I just wanted to face Ross and call him a stupid liar. I probably wouldn't call him that but I wanted to. I quickly, but within the speed limit, drove to my house.

Once we were there, Rydel and I exited the car. I followed her to her house. I walked in to the guys playing video games and Ryland was sleeping.

"Hey boys! Ri and I are going up to my room to chill!" Rydel announced as we walked.

"Ri?" Ross asked, as he quickly turned around to face me. Our eyes met and I wanted to cry. I could tell that it was getting awkward so I pushed Rydel up to her room.

"Why didn't you talk to him?" Rydel asked when the door was shut.

"I don't know what to say! He's the one who needs to apologize. Not me. So, when he wants to talk, I'll talk." I responded, laying down on her bed.

"You go!" she cheered while putting on music. We were just chilling when someone knocked on the door. Usually, nobody knocks on Rydels door. They just come in. Since Rydel was changing, I got up and opened the door to come face to face with the one Lynch I really didn't want to talk to.

"Ross.." I mumbled, suddenly nervous.

"Can we...uh...talk?" Ross asked. 

"Ya I guess." I answered. I silently followed him into his room and shut the door. It was quiet for a few minutes until Ross spoke.

"Courtney and I broke up." he said.

"Oh." was all I could say.

"And, the reason we broke up is because she thought that I cheated on her. With you. I tried to explain because I really loved her. But, I stopped explaining because I realized that she was the reason we had a fight. Courtney told me to say those things. She was actually in the closet when I was yelling at you. I'm really sorry." Ross explained. I had tears in my eyes. I had no idea why I was crying. I went to sit down but Ross quickly grabbed my arm and turned it over.

"What the fuck are these?" he asked, looking at the scars on my arms.

"I don't know." I mumbled, my voice crack.

"Did you do this because of me?" he questioned, tears rolling down his cheeks. I nodded and looked at the ground.

"Ri, I'm really sorry that I hurt you that much. Damn it! I'm such a stupid guy. I should die. I hate myself." Ross responded, pacing around the room.

"Ross, stop saying those things."

"I fucking hate myself because of what you did. I'm the cause!" Ross yelled, kind of scaring me.

"It's not your fault." I replied, finally sitting on his bed. I just watched him pace around the room.

"Ri, I've missed you so much! I almost came over the other day but I didn't know if you wanted to see me. I really wanted to see you because I...I..." Ross said as his voice faded away.

"What Ross?" I questioned, wanting to know what he wanted to say.

"I think I'm in love with you."
