Chapter 4
Astra's P.O.V
Ryder and I had been riding around for some time now. We learned a lot about each other and had a few laughs too. He learned that my favorite color is periwinkle. I learned that his is sunset orange. He learned that my favorite food is lasagna. I learned that his is shrimp spaghetti. The list goes on and on and on. Just then my phone started to ring. I looked at it and saw a picture of my boyfriend Brian. I smiled and answered it.
"What's up babe?" I said.
Just then I heard a growl to my left. I looked over to see Ryder looking furious.
"Brian, hold on a second, I gotta do something , 'kay?"
I put my phone on mute and turned to Ryder. He looked a mixture of absolutely devastated and furious at the same time.
"What's your deal?" I asked him.
He clenched and unclenched his jaw and asked very calmly: "Who are you talking too?"
I said back just as calmly: "One, that's not any of your business, but I'll tell you anyways. I'm talking to my boyfriend, Brian."
He let out an animalistic roar, which made me immediately pull the car over in shock. Ryder jumped out of the car like the devil had lit him on fire and slammed the door shut, shattering his window.
I picked up my phone and took it off mute.
"Brian, I'm gonna have to call you back. Okay?"
I didn't wait for an answer before I hung up and placed my phone in my back pocket. I looked at the broken window across from me and planned all of the ways I was going to get revenge. But first, I had to curse the shit out if a certain somebody. Well, at least I wanted too, but I couldn't. I was so angry, I don't even think I could put it into words. It felt like I wanted to strangle Ryder and cry at the same time. So I did the only thing I could think to do. I ran away. Well, in my case drive, but you get there point. I left Ryder on a highway looking royally pissed. But I did promise myself that I would get my revenge. One way or another.

When I got home, I was greeted with my mother looking angry. and she started her yelling which would followed by a lecture. So I just let her get it out of her system.
"Astra!! We just got to California and you're already acting like a misfit?!? I thought we moved here from to get away from that? I guess I was wrong. I am very disappointed in you young lady, and I want to see better. So until you can behave and get good grades, YOU ARE GROUNDED!!"
I stared at her dumbfounded. Then i started to tell at her. Let me tell you. I've said some dumb things in my life to mother, but these were probably the worst.
"Who pissed in your cereal this morning?!? And who said I was acting like a misfit. I have a perfectly good reason why I did what I did! Plus we only moved here because you thought Brian was a bad influence on me!!"
I heard the smack before I felt it, and suddenly I was having an HD view of our kitchen floor. My cheek was stinging. My mother screamed at me.
"Don't you ever disrespect me like that again ever in your life!! Do you understand? And what's more, you are grounded and you're not having dinner tonight. Now go to your room before I regret not sending you to live with your dad!!!!!"
I ran like the devil was chasing me to my room. I threw myself to my bed and sobbed. I couldn't believe she has said something like that to me. Did she really wish I lived with my dad or did she just say that in the heat of the moment. All I know is that I was glad I had that emergency container of food in my dresser, because it was going to be a long night.
