My New Family

(31)

I got up the next morning and first thing I did was going to the bathroom. When I wanted to leave again and opened the door for that, Ryder softly pushed me back inside and got into the room as well. He closed the door and locked the door. "Still hoping for that bathroom make out" He said and I smiled. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He lifted me up and held me up against the wall, while we made out.

After a few minutes he put me down and I kissed him one last time, before leaving the bathroom and quickly hurried to my room. I changed quickly and started on my make up, then brushed my hair and softly curled it.

I packed my bag, then took it downstairs with me. "Morning guys" I said, put my bag down on the couch and sat down on my usual seat at our table. I took a bowl and made my usual cereal. I started eating it, then Ryder came downstairs and sat down next to me and put his hand on my thigh. "I can't believe my daughter is finally showing her girly side" Mom said almost in tears. "Mom.. I'm growing up and with friends like Maia and Reese, I don't have a chance but to become more girly" I explained. "I didn't say anything against it! I love how you become more woman" She said and sat down on her chair. "I'm turning 17 and it was time that I will start to find myself and with that changing my appearance a little" "A little?! You look like you had a face transplant!" Cody said. "And you look like a- I shouldn't say this" I started and smirked at him.

After breakfast Cody pulled me away from our family "I swear to you, if you tell anything about Tara, I'm gonna destroy you!" He threatened. "I wasn't gonna say anything about that! I'm your sister and I don't sell brothers out! None of them!" I told him and he laughed. "I remember you of the Ryder disaster" He said and I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious Cody! Also, Ryder isn't my brother! I would rather sell him out than you! You were my brother first!" I said and he looked at me "I promise!" I said and he sighed "Then I'll believe you" He said and I smiled "So for how long have you been dating?" I asked curious. "A few years, but now stop it!" He said and left.

I sighed and went back into the living room, grabbed my bag and got into Ryder's car. "Still letting me take you to school?" He asked. "I can take the bus if you want me to" I said and he started the motor before I could get out "Thought so" I said and buckled up.

He drove off and parked in the school parking lot. "See you in the first break? 15 minutes to make out" He said and I laughed. "Sure, the staircase. See you there" I said and got out. I hurried off and walked into the school building to my locker. "Hey there girls" I said and opened my locker. "Hey Liv. You look good for someone that had a tragic break up yesterday" Maia said. I rolled my eyes "Fabian is an ass!" I said and leaned against the locker.

"I'm over that guy. I don't want anything to do with him anymore" I said and got my stuff out of my locker. "Would you be mad if I would leave now?" Maia asked and I shook my head no "Go!" I said and pushed her softly. "Thanks Hun" She said and hurried off. "What about the destroy Ryder plan?" Reese asked adn I rolled my eyes. "Let's just forget about that" I said and closed my locker. "Are you kidding me?!" She asked a little angry. "Right now, Ryder is really important to me! I couldn't survive losing him again" I said and she still couldn't believe it. "He is a terrible person!!" Reese said "Yesterday he beat up your boyfriend!!" She told me. "I know, but Fabian deserved it! He cheated on me and Ryder caught him" I defended my secret boyfriend.

Then finally the bell rang and I closed my locker "I see you" I said and rushed off.

Hours later, school was finally over and Ryder and I went to the boxing club and changed into our sports gear. After changing we met up in front of the changing room. "So girlfriend, what do we do first? Boxing or making out?" Ryder asked and I hit him. "A relationship is not made out of making out and kissing and other things! Let's fight!" I said and put my boxing gloves on and so did he.

We took the ring and started fighting.

An hour later we were done, because both of us were tired. "Are we good again?" Ryder asked and I looked at him "We were never bad" I said and started drinking half of the water in my bottle. "Good to know" He said and sat down on the bench. I put the bottle down and sat down beside him. "You must understand me Ryder. I only had one other relationship with another guy and that doesn't make me an expert on being in a relationship, but how about you be that Ryder you used to be, not the player Ryder" I asked.

"Are you trying to change me?" He asked and I rolled my eyes "I just don't wanna be the next one! Because technically you are still in a relationship with Reese" I said and he groaned. "If that's what you want then I'm going to go by her house and break up with her right after we are done here!" He said. "Okay, do it!" I told him and he nod "It will be like she and I were never anything" He said and I didn't know if I should smile or be sad about it.

Because once he breaks up with Reese, our plan was over for good. But it was already over, since Reese couldn't break his heart. If I understood it right, he never really liked her, so the entire plan would have never worked.

"You will never be the next one Liv! You have always been the one" He said and kissed my forehead "And you should really take a shower" He added and I laughed "What do you have against my girl sweat?" I asked, playing offended.
