Holding On (Before You Exit Fan Fic)

Chapter 2

It's actually 12:38AM here and I'm updating because I'm soooo in the mood. Haha. Sorry for the short chapter one. I don't think it should be very long since its only an introduction. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter guys :)

"So, what do you think should I wear? This or this one?" Daniele asked.

"I don't know ...maybe this floral pink one?" I guessed.

"Ew, I think I made up my mind, I think I'll choose the blue one." Finally after like forever she already made up her mind.

I looked up and silently thanked God, "Ugh, finally."

"Come on, Katherine. You just suck at fashion." She said. This girl sometimes get on my nerves.

"Wow, thanks for stating the whole truth and please just call me Kate. Katherine is too long" I said.

"Well, you're welcome. I like calling you Katherine because it's a nice name and I know I'm the only one that calls you that so I want to be unique." This is Daniele Mal Charlwood a.k.a my best friend.

People think its impossible that we're best friends. Because she's that and I'm this. We don't get along with this kind of things but we get along with the way we think, the way we solve problems. Yeah, you can just sing The Way by Ariana Grande. Why am I so corny sometimes? It's not even funny. Ugh.

Anyway we've been friends since like...forever I guess. Ever since my mother and I transferred here in Orlando, she's one of my first friends aside from the McDonoughs. We used to live in LA but we moved here in Orlando when I was like 6 or 7? I can't really remember. My father died on a plane crash when I was 4. My mother said my dad was going home from a business trip then that accident happened. The only reason we moved here is for me to be in good hands - in the hands of my grandparents. After the crash, my mom got depressed and lost her job because she blame all the people around her about my dad's death and she barely even have time for me. In other words, my mom went crazy.

When my grandparents found about it, they let us live here and start a new life forgetting what happened at LA and my mother took therapy.

And now my mother's okay and we're okay here in Florida. Everything is good here. The people the place, the weather? I don't know sometimes its extremely hot. I met friends and most especially I met Connor.

Daniele and I are on our way going home. I'm sitting in the passenger's seat while listening to the music that's blasting from the radio.

Daniele is also friends with the McDonoughs and Thomas and Braiden, like me. We usually hang out together, eat Taco Bell, Chipotle, Five Guys etc.

I totally ship (Yes, I know what 'ship' is. I saw it on tumblr) Riley and Daniele together because they're like fire and ice. They don't really get together but when the two of them are alone they seem to be enjoying each other's company, so I believe they're going to end up with together.

"Katherine! Are you even listening to me?" Daniele snapped me out of reality.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about you and Riley together." I can't believe I just said that. Oh my god. "Oops, I meant-"

Its too late because immediately Daniele cut me off.

"WHAAAAT?!!" She shouted "I can't believe you're thinking about me and Riley like together together. Wow, I just. I can't believe you. I thought you know me better." She shot me a look.

"I'm sorry. That's why there is this thing called 'shipping' right? Don't you like Riley's personality? He's so nice, he's like my brother and at the same time my guy best friend" I haven't thought of Riley much, wow, I'm such a good friend.

"I like his personality but sometimes he makes me pissed. I don't know. Sometimes he acts like an adult then to a 5 year old then adult again. I don't really understand him." She said

That's what I like about Riley, he's weird in his own way and I like it, I mean I like that (get it? lol).

"He acts according to the person. If you act like a 5 year old then he'll also act like one." I explained.

"I don't act like a 5 year old!" Daniele shouted.

"Calm down, I'm not saying you act like one." Jeezum Daniele needs to have an anger management.

My phone beeped signaling someone has texted me.

I took it out of my small purse and checked who it was. It's kinda surprised me.

It's Riley.

I looked at Daniele "Well, look who just texted." I showed her my phone.

She rolled her eyes. I bit my tongue to stop my laughter.

From: Riley

Hey Kate! Long time no talk. Is it weird that I just texted you? ha ha I don't know I just got this feeling that I should text you so here it is. How have you been doing? :)

I typed a reply and pressed send,

Gosh, Riley. I missed talking to you buddy. Everything's fine, school's fine. Life's fine. I really missed you so much.

A couple of minutes later Riley replied,

Good to know that you're fine. I missed you too :(

I smiled to myself and texted him back,

Good luck with the next shows, hope to see you soon. Have fun, Riles! Love you :)

Minutes passed. 20 minutes. 30. I still didn't got a reply. Maybe he didn't see my reply because they rehearsed. I put my phone back to my purse.

I opened my eyes and shocked to see what time it is. It's 2:30 AM.

WHO WOULD TEXT ME AT 2:3OAM IN THE MORNING?!

I groan as I reach for my phone. I can't see much because of the brightness so I don't know whose the text from.

The text message opened. I still can't see clearly but I focused my eyes more.

My eyes maybe is as big as the eyes of an owl right now.. I just. I'm shocked to see what I've just read.

From: Riley

I love you, Katherine.
