Highschool (Rove AU)

5- Squad

Dove's POV
"Dad where are you going?" I ask. "Shh. Someone's here. Go hide." He says grabbing a baseball bat. I run in and hide under my bed. Even though I'm 14 I can still fit. I hear a gunshot and then yelling. I then hear sirens and crying. I slowly do out to see my Dad on the ground. Dead. I start to cry.

I shoot up. It was all just a dream. No a nightmare. A flashback. That happened and I hate remembering it. I miss my dad. I was 14 when he died. It's been three years, but it's still hard. I don't see my mom much either. I know my mom loves and cares about me. She just has to work so much. I only see her on Sundays. I see Ryan more. Ryan cares about me. I thought Blake did too though. Ugh. I fall back onto my bed and see its 6. I better get ready Ryan will be here at 7:15. I decide to wear a blue dress with black leggings underneath. I'm all ready at 7:15 when Ryan pulls up. "Wow. You look great." He says. "Thanks." I say and get into the car with my backpack. He's wearing a gray shirt under a blue button up shirt. "You look cute too." I say. "Thanks." He says and we jam out to songs. When we get to school Abby and Will run up to us. "Will just asked me out!" She squeals. "I'm guessing you said yes." Ryan says doing a hand shake with Will. "Did you tell them?" Veronica asks holding Justin's hand. Will and Abby both nod. "Now we have Jeronica, Rove and Wabby." Victoria says. We all laugh. "Hashtag squad goals." Justin says and puts his arm around Victoria. "We should go on triple dates." Abby says. "We should." Ryan says. I nod and look up at him. "On Saturday are y'all busy?" Justin asks. "No." We all say. "You know that new horror movie just came out." He says nudging Victoria. "No. I hate horror movies." She says. "Me too." I say. "Don't worry I'll protect you." Justin says. Ryan reaches around me and I flinch as he puts his arm over my shoulder. "Alright. Saturday it is." Abby says. We make sure everyone has each other's numbers and start a group text. Then the bell rings and we go to class. I haven't run into Blake since Ryan talked to him, but I have a feeling I'll see him.
After school I walk over to Ryan's locker after going to mine and he's putting away some books. "Ryan" I whisper. "Oh...Hey Dovey." He says. "Well if it isn't the two love birds." Blake says. I turn around and he's standing with another girl I haven't seen before. They kiss. "What do you think of that?" Blake asks. I shrug and look up at Ryan. "I don't care." I say. "Come on Dove! Can I come over later. I promised I changed." Blake says. I shake my head. "Don't make me get physical." He says taking a step towards me. Ryan sticks his arm out. He's taller than Blake by about 4 inches and is a lot cuter. "Leave her alone." Ryan says sweetly before taking my hand and we walk off. "Why me?!" I ask once we're in his car. "Because you're cute and amazing." Ryan says. "What really?" I ask. "Yes." Ryan says. "Hey uh...after set...can...um....can I meet your mom?" He asks. My mom won't be home until 11. "I'll talk to you about it later." I say softly. Ryan nods and puts his hand on my knee all the way to set. Ryan takes my hand and we walk into our separate dressing rooms. I change into Maddie and Ryan and I start filming a Miggie love scene. "Y'all are dating now right?" The director asks. "Yes." Ryan says. "Ok. Try not to get too comfortable." He says. We nod. Here comes the long day.
"Woo" Ryan says as he gets in the car. "That was a long day." He says. I nod. When we get to my house Ryan gets out and follows me in. "Your mom isn't home?" Ryan asks. "No. Not till 11." I say. "Awe. Do you see her?" He asks. I shake my head. "Sweetheart." Ryan whispers. I sit on the couch. He pushes a piece of my hair behind my ear sitting beside me. I don't flinch this time and Ryan smiles. "What happened to your cheek?" He asks me. I have a scar from the beer bottle. "Blake smashed a beer bottle on my head because he was mad." I say softly. "Why was he mad?" Ryan asks. "I wouldn't suck his dick." I say. Ryan looks shocked. His face turns bright red. I look down and he uses two fingers to lift my head so I stare into his beautiful brown eyes. I become completely memorized and we just stare at each other. Ryan starts leaning in. I close my eyes. He brushes his soft lips against mine. I've never been kissed like this. He's so gentle compared to Blake. He pulls away and we both smile. I feel myself blush. "I really like you Dove." Ryan whispers and puts his forehead against mine. "You can call me Chloe." I say. "What why?" He asks. "Chloe is my birth name. I changed it when my dad died because he used to call Dove. Only my close friends and family call me that." I say. He smiles. "Thank you." He says. We both smile at each other and then my mom comes home. "Mom you're home early." I say standing up. I hug her and Ryan stands up. "Yes I got off early." She says. I smile and Ryan shakes her hand "I'm Ryan." He says. "Wow. Are you guys dating?" Mom asks. "Yes ma'am." Ryan says. "Wait Ryan. You play Diggie." Mom says. "Yes." He says. "Well I better get going. My mom is going to worry. See you later Chloe." He says and kisses my cheek. "You told him about your name?" Mom asks after Ryan leaves. "Yes. I think I can trust him." I say. "What about Blake?" Mom asks. "Ryan stood up to him. He goes to my school. Plus the way Ryan looks at me. Like he truly loves me..." I start. "Never mind." I say. My mom laughs and we eat dinner together for once.
