Chapter 21

It was 8 o'clock and his friends were fixing to leave. They had spent the day together, swimming, cooking food and enjoying their company. Now, he had to break the news to Bailey. "Hey, Bailey. Can we talk real quick please. Zay go away." After Zay gave a look of insult, his friend walked back inside and they took a seat on the table in the backyard. "So, um we need to talk about whatever is going on here."

"Yeah, we need to make a schedule on who goes where, when." She looked so happy.

"No, that's not what I meant. I broke up with you."

"Yeah, because you moved. But, if we work at it, we can be together again." He dropped his head and sighed heavily.

"Okay, I wasn't 100% honest with you before. I broke up with you because I was moving. But, that's not the only reason. Several months before I moved, I was looking for a way out or a reason to break up with you. It wasn't anything you did, I just wasn't happy anymore. We were planning our futures together before we knew what we wanted out of it."

"So, you're breaking up with me again?"

"Not really. Because, we never got back together. I'm more like reitterating our original break up." He beared his bottom teeth, realizing what he said was a little rude.

"Gosh darn it Lucas! Is it Riley? The drunkard from the diner and last night?"

"She only got that way because of you being there, she's not normally like that. But yes, we were talking about getting together." Lucas liked the idea of them being together, loved is more like it.

"And, the flirting with your best friend?"

"She was trying to make me jealous." The pair sat in complete silence, and normally this would be awkward but Lucas was just thinking about different ways to get Riley back. Bailey's pink dress moved as she stood up.

"Have fun with your delinquent!" Lucas laughed.

"Bailey, I know I have no right to tell you this. But, you have to relax. You have no idea what she's gone through to make her the way she is, and I like her the way she is. You're a great girl, I am just not the same guy I was when we first started dating. I'm sorry."

"As a lady I accept your apology, as your ex girlfriend you should know I want to shove you in the pool." Lucas stood up and smiled.

"Free shot." He was in his swimsuit anyways, so he didn't care. Bailey hesitated. "Come on. It feels good to be bad." She glared and pushed him in, then regretted it since she got slightly damp from the splash. Bailey stood there as he climbed out of the pool. "Come here." They hugged and after telling his friends goodbye, he changed with haste to go see Riley.

The brunette hopped out of her shower and after getting dressed started towel drying her hair. Riley started to sing.

If I had just one tear rollin' down your cheek.
Maybe I could cope, maybe i'd get some sleep.
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent, yeah!
Could you cry a little, lie just a little?
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain.
I gave, now i'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me. The cheerleader opened her door still singing.
If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key.
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you've handed me.
 And, you'd hunt but those lies they'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know for me to be fine.
She tossed her towel and grabbed the brush on her vanity. Yeah. And you'd cry a little, die just a little And baby I would feel just a little less pain.
I gave now i'm wanting, something in return.
So cry, just a little for me. She was using the brush as a microphone.
Give it up baby, I hear you're doin' fine.
Nothing's gonna save me, I see it in your eyes.
Some kind of heart ache honey, give it a try.
