This Is Just A Dream

Chapter 4

Ryan's POV:
After running out of Julia's house I head to my car and drive to Jas' house again.
I park and walk up the porch and knock on her door to get greeted by a woman probably in her late 30's-40's.

"Hi! Wait you look familiar, are you Ryan Ochoa?" She asks me.

"Yes ma'am I am." I said giving a generous smile.

"I'm Mrs. Scott but you can call me Barbara. My daughter is a huge fan she sings to your guys' so-" And she gets cut off from the one girl that I'm here to see.

"Hey mom the lasagna is in the oven, oh hey Ryan what brings you here again?" She says smiling that angelic smile. I didn't notice that I was staring at her for 2 minutes until she starts waving her hands in my face.

"Ry? You okay?"

"Y-Yeah I'm okay, uh I actually came by to ask if you needed any help with the decorations?"

"Yeah actually haha, come with me I was going to need help bringing the strings and balloons and the helium tank to fill them up." She said guiding me to the garage.
We bring the supplies out and sit down on her couch filling the balloons up with helium and tying them with some string. I can't help but stare at her when she's so concentrated in her work, can't wait to ask her out later today.

When we were done we tied some balloons on my sister's chair since she's the birthday girl. And we ended up just tying them to some household furniture for extra decoration.

*15 minutes later*

We plop onto the couch after we finished the house and the backyard.

Jasmine's POV:

Ryan seemed very off today, I wonder what's gotten into him?
My phone starts ringing for the millionth time today so I answer.

"What now Mason?"
"Please open the door, I have something to show you."
"I don't want to see yo-"
"Come on please open the door."
"Fine." I say and hang up and open the door.

When I open it wide enough I was immediately pulled onto a pair of lips, a pair that I could recognize anywhere. I try to pull myself away from him but he pulls me even closer. He tries to take off my shirt but before he could, Ryan punched him sending him to the floor.

I look at him after and start tearing up and start running up to my room. A couple minutes later I hear a knock on my room door.

"Come in." I choked up. The door reveals Ryan and he comes walking up to my bed. I flinch away when he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you.." He said cooing. I wrap my arms around him for comfort. I began sobbing into his chest as he rocked back and forth calming me down.
I look at him with sadness in my eyes.
"Thank You Ryan." I whisper before another tear rolls down my cheek.
"Jasmine, I know that this whole incident is really making you upset and I don't want you to be sad over a jerk like him. Do you maybe want to go on a date with me next Friday?" Ryan says.
I stared at him and my face began brightening up because Ryan really asked ME out.
"U-uh Yes of course!" I hug him.
We sat on the edge of my bed for a good hour playing Heads Up before my mother called us down to bring stuff out to the tables. We walk down the stairs and my mom begins handing us food. I walk outside with Ryan trailing behind me and of course I had to be clumsy and tripped on the plastic table cloth on the tile, causing me to spill all of the macaroni all over me. And then Ryan tripped over me and spilled the potato salad all over himself and I. Well this was definitely something. I sat up and looked at Ryan who was just laying there with potato salad all over his face. I couldn't help it I HAD to laugh it was just that good. Then Ryan started laughing and my mom walked out and was trying to tell at us but I guess we looked just that funny laying there covered in food. This is gonna be a long night....
