Feel Again (A OneRepublic/ Ryan Tedder Fanfic)

Chapter 13

Ryan's P.O.V

I can't believe broke one of my rules, but I'm sure as hell not letting it happen again. I start tapping my thumbs against the steering wheel. "Ryan are you alright?" Asked Brent as we were driving to the studio.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I replied not looking away from the road.

"Just curious. You seem a little off today man. Come to think of it you've been off for the past couple of days." He said.

"No man I'm just peachy." I said smiling. I want to see her again. No I need to see her again. We finally pull up to the studio and decide to text her:

"Be ready by 9:30. We're still going on that date. Wear the clothes you use for your dance practice.

-R.T."

My phone vibrates and I check it:

"Once again, looking forward to it Mr. Tedder. Hope you don't cancel on me again. ;)"

Interesting. I text her back:

"Wouldn't dream of it. Now please let me do my job.

-R.T."

Brent and I go inside the studio and I hear Zach shouting, "Looks like somebody got laid last night huh Ryan?" The guys all turn to me in surprise.

"What?" I asked.

"So did you?" Asked Eddie

"Not me Brent." I said trying to take their eyes off me.

"Bullshit Ryan! You and I both know that Brent can't get a girl to save his life." Teased Eddie

"Hey!" Said Brent feeling offended throwing a water bottle at Eddie.

"But in all seriousness, did you get laid?" Asked Drew.

"Alright, drop the subject. Lets get to work. Shall we?" I said walking to my computer chair, switching on the the production software.

Kim's P.O.V

"Where the fuck have you been? We were looking all over for you!" Shouted Jameira at me as I walked through the door of our apartment.

"Kimberly! Hello!!" She said practically shouting in my ear.

"I was out." I said feeling tired and sore.

"Just out? What the fuck is wrong with everyone was worried about you, especially Paul." She answered angrily.

I start getting mad. "Don't you mention that son of bitch to me!" I say snapping back at her. I stomp into my room with Jameira on my heels.

"Kim, what are you talking about? Paul was trying to protect you." She said as I plopped down on my bed.

"Protect me? Is that what you think? That son of a bitch tried to drug me and rape me!" I shout at her.

"Wait a minute, he what? How do you know?" She said feeling stunned.

"He tried to rape me and Ryan told me." I said burying my face in my hands.

"Ryan? The guy that flaked on you?" She said in astonishment.

I nod still my face in my hands.

"Why would you believe him?" She said starting to get angry.

"Why would he come looking for me Jameira hmmm? I know I just met him but I believe in what he said because Paul would be capable in doing something like that." I said.

"Oh honey are you alright?" She said hugging me and rubbing my back.

"Yeah I'm fine now." I said looking up at her.

"So, ummm where were you last night?" Asked Jameira.

Crap! I can't tell her that I spent the night at Ryan's house? Can I? I got it!

"I spent the night night at Amanda's house." I say thinking quickly.

"Oh alright. I'll let you rest then." She said happily.

As soon as she leaves, I feel my phone vibrate. I check my phone and see its a message from Ryan.

"Be ready by 9:30. We're still going on that date. Wear the clothes you use for your dance practice.

-R.T."

I smile at his message. I start thinking about earlier today and decide to text him back:

"Once again, looking forward to it Mr. Tedder. Hope you don't cancel on me again. ;)"

I lay back down in bed and decide to read "The Great Gatsby". I know it's a high school book but it speaks to me, talking about the American Dream and my dream is to be a dancer.

As I start reading, my phone goes off:

"Wouldn't dream of it. Now please let me do my job.

-R.T."

I laugh at his message and decide to take a nap
