So Close - Ryann and Toby

Chapter 2

Toby's POV

As soon as Ryann left, I opened the letter she gave me. I sat on my bunk and read it slowly, loving every word she wrote, only for me. I soon saw that she wrote her number in the letter and I quickly dialled her number. "What are you doing?" my brother, Riley asked. "I'm calling one of the fans that was just in here. She left me her number." I replied. It was obvious that Riley sensed it was more than just a "friendly" call. "You know, you can't have a relationship with a fan. It's impossible, trust me I know." Riley was talking about his last relationship. He dated a fan, and things didn't at all work out the way he had wanted. I know Riley was just looking out for me, but I needed to call Ryann, and I didn't need Riley trying to stop me. "Okay, I know. I'm just calling to thank her, Riley." I calmly answered. Riley nodded and went to his bunk. I dialed Ryann's number and started to get nervous. I just hoped that she would answer.

Ryann's POV

"Who do you think it is?!" Emilie asked.

"I think it might be Toby!" I excitedly replied.

"Hello?" I nervously answered.

"Hey, Ryann! It's Toby, from Before You Exit. We met on the bus." Toby said.

I could not believe what I was hearing. Was Toby really calling me?

"Hi Toby!" I said excitedly

"I just called to say thanks so much for the letter! It really means a lot when fans take the time to write us such nice things. Especially yours. You are so nice! I really wish more people were like you." He sweetly said.

"Wow! Thanks so much Toby. I think that it's really cool that you call all of your fans!" I happliy replied.

"Well, to be honest I usually don't call fans. Actually, this is the first time I have called a fan while we were on tour." he said.

"Are you serious?" I asked. 

"Yeah." he shyly replied.

"So... why did you call me? I mean, why me? I questioned

"Because... I really like you Ryann. I know I haven't really gotten to know you, but I would like to. " he replied.

I was so in shock, I didn't know what to say. This is exactly what every fangirl dreams of, and it was actually happening to me.

Me.

"Say something, please." Toby said.

"I don't know what to say. Other than this is great. I really want to get to know you better, too Toby." I shakily said.

"This really is great, Ryann. Listen, I really have to get to sleep because we have a show tomorrow. I'll call you, if that's okay." He replied.

"Yes Toby! That is definitly okay!" I excitedly replied.

"Great! I'll call you first thing tomorrow! Thank you so much, Ryann" he happily replied.

"No, Toby thank you!" I said.

After our conversation, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. All I oculd think about was the act that Toby McDonough had just called me, and wanted to get to know me. This was the best thing ever.

My phone lit up suddenly, and I looked to see that it was a Twitter notification. Riley had just followed me. I had gotten a call from Toby and a follow from Riley in the same day. 

I got on twitter and saw the follow. I was so happy, it was crazy. I checked my DM's and I had gotten one from Riley. 

Hey! It was really cool meeting you today! Do you think that you ad your friend might want to get Starbucks with us tomorrow?

I wondered if Toby and Riley both knew about the other tweeting/calling me. All I knew was that I was going to Starbucks with Before You Exit, and getting another call from Toby.

My life was great.

Toby's POV

The next morning when I woke up, I was excited to call Ryann again. That was really all that I wanted to do. But, instead Riley was making me and Connor go to Starbucks with him. Great. He said that we were meeting some people there, but honestly I had better things to do.

We drove up to the Starbucks and headed in. I looked around to see who we were meeting, because Riley didn't tell me. Then I saw Ryann. I was so happy to be seeing her again, and It was a crazy coincedence that she was here, but I was glad. Riley waved at her, and she waved back. She was also with her friend, Emilie, who I'm pretty sure Connor had a thing for. Why did Riley ask her to meet here? 

Then it hit me.

Riley didn't want me to call Ryann because he liked her, and he didn't want me to get in the way.
