A Little More You

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (Riley's POV)

When class had finally ended, I couldn't help but think about what happened to Rovie. She missed some classes, and it's all for the first time! I asked her friends but they don't even know where she is.

I tried to contact her, but she wouldn't pick her phone up.

I wanted to tell her what happened to me and Jessa. I wanted to tell her, Jessa finally said yes and agrees to go out with me.

So, I immediately search for my best friend. Checking every corner and every place in school just to look for her. Still, she's nowhere to be found.

I tried calling her again, but she still wouldn't answer. I sighed in exasperation.

As I leaned myself against the locker, my phone vibrated. I excitedly open the message hoping it's from Rj, but it wasn't... It was from my devil of a brother.

Message:
Bruh, where are you?

I replied...

Locker. Come now. We need to talk.

I slipped my phone back in. Connor better has a good explanation for this. He has crossed the line this time.

"Riley!" my younger brother jogged towards me.

"Hey, Toby. Where's Connor?" I inquired.

"I don't know. Though I saw him with Alana earlier by the fountain, he's just ignoring her the whole time while she yaps about her nails and stuff, now I don't know." Toby conned me. He looked at me with knitted eyebrows, with his thumb and index finger rubbing his chin.

"What?" I inquired.

"You look mad."

"No I don't." I muttered.

He took a step closer to me. "Riley, whatever it is, don't do it. Especially here." Toby advised.

"I'm not going to beat the crap out of him, I'm just going to talk to him."

He snorted. "Well, I know you two. I think you should hold that thought 'til we get home."

Toby hates it when Connor and I fight. Our little brother doesn't take sides. He's strictly neutral, whatever the situation may be.

"I promise you little bro, I'm just going to talk."

"What do you want to talk about?" Connor's voice joined in. His expression is so dull and I hate it.

I swiftly grabbed his collar and pinned him to the lockers. He held up his hands and looked away, still with the same articulation on his face, "For the love of god, Connor! Embarrass her in front of other people?!" I hissed.

"I knew it." He snorted then smirked.

"Shut up! Look, I get it! You were hurt. But take it out on Rovie?! Why not Alana? Why not other girls? Of all people why an innocent one?"

"Riley..." Toby grabbed my arms, freeing Connor. I struggled a bit from his grip, yet I managed to jerk my arms away from him.

The students started to gather around to witness the show, but I was too mad to even care.

"Stay out of this, Toby." he threw his hands in defense, and looked at my blonde brother, "You! You and your goddamn attitude, Connor! You're not like that!"

He chuckled dully. It made me even more angry! I hate what he did to Rovie but I let it go, but this time... Never. "In my room, at dinner, in class, now at the cafeteria?! Seriously! What the flying fuck is wrong with you? What did the poor girl ever do to you?"

He finally made eye to eye contact, with that same look as earlier. "Answer me!"

People are starting to take pictures or videos, but I ignored them and concentrate on Connor. "Fuck, Connor! ANSWER ME!"

I pushed him to the locker harder this time.

He gritted his teeth and pushed me back with so much strength that I almost fell down, "FINE. SHE REMINDS ME TOO MUCH OF MEAGHAN OKAY! I WAS FUCKING BROKEN AT THAT TIME RILEY UNTIL NOW, AND YOU KNOW THAT! I STOPPED SENIOR YEAR TO BE WITH HER THAT'S WHY WE'RE IN THE SAME GRADE RIGHT NOW. I STOPPED MY MUSIC CAREER FOR HER, I STOPPED MY DREAMS AND DECIDED TO BE WITH HER!

WHY I HATE ROVIEJANE ABIERA? SHE REMINDS ME OF HER SO MUCH THAT I HATE SEEING HER WALKING AROUND HERE NOT BEING AWARE THAT IT WAS HURTING ME! THAT LITTLE DEMURE PERSON BUT A LYING BITCH!"

"ROVIE'S NOT A FUCKING BITCH, YOU ASS!" I countered.

"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YET! GIRLS LIKE HER, LIKE MEAGHAN, DEMURING LITTLE BITCHES WITH A DEVIL OF AN ATTITUDE. SHE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF HER AND I HATE IT! ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE'S WITH YOU! ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY?" he looked even more hurt.

I was taken aback when he said he hates seeing me and Rovie together. That was not all, when he said Meaghan is demure but with a devil's attitude? What did she do? Or say?

We looked at each other for a long time. He finally breaks the stare, shakes his head in disbelief and walked out. I wasn't able to say something. All this time... He hasn't moved on from Meaghan.

Meaghan Smith was Connor's ex-girlfriend. She's blonde, has glasses, smart and an optimist. So much like Rovie, she doesn't care how she looks because for her, Connor loves her like that. She was also like a part of our family.

They dated two years ago. I never really knew what happened between them. He never told us. He rebelled against mom and dad. Meaghan moved out from the state to Chicago, Connor loved her so much, he went after her. Two days later, Connor comes home differently. And told us that he and Meaghan are over. Hence, the start of his fiendish attitude.

I looked at Toby, he was quiet for a long time. The people in school formed a semi circle, watching me and Connor verbally fight, whispering at each other.

"Toby let's go."

*****

A/N: UH OH. Connor finally stated his side. And a warm welcome to a new character who will be in the latter part of the story.

Don't worry, if your faves have less parts, trust me I have bigger and better plans for them.
