Playlists {A Rydellington Story}

・Chapter 6・

・Rydelly・

My breath hitched as I heard that question. Should I tell her? I mean I haven't even known her for ten minutes and she's asking for the darkest parts of my life.

Just like Ellington, straight forward.

"I-I, I have to go." I stand up and go to the door to get my wrist grabbed by Ellington. His hand around my wrist even though makes me frustrated, it gives me the same feeling as the first time he held my hand.

"Please stay. Please," Ellington pleas and I look away from him. He turns my chin to meet his face and he leans in until our noses are touching. "Please. Just talk to me." His eyes have a look of worry across them. I sigh and move my hand to my side and he smiles.

He walks me back to the couch and sits beside me rubbing my back. Why is he so nice? "I'm sorry Rydel, I just.. I've been there. I've had drugs too." His mom admits which makes me widen my eyes.

But she looked so innocent!

I wonder if people actually react this way over me.. I shake my head at the thought. "I guess it all started when..."

Flashback

It was my junior year of high school and I had the same best friend since kindergarten. We were two peas in a pod but totally different at the same time. She had brown hair and was short while me being blonde and being tall.

Her name was Maegan.

It was the first day of school and we were looking for our lockers and this guy walks up to Meagan and starts flirting with her. I had a bad feeling about him since my eyes first laid on him. Maegan on the other hand, seemed dazed that he even bothered flirting with her. "So I'm having this party this weekend, and I'd love it if you were there." He smirked at her and she giggled.

I roll my eyes. Disgusting. "She doesn't even know your name so how about no, she's not going to be there." I tug Maegan away from this fūckboy. He looks at me.

"Excuse me but who're you?"

"I'm Rydel, and she," I direct to Maegan. "Is my best friend. You aren't going to see us at the party." I straight up told him meanwhile Maegan stared at me probably saying explicit words towards me in her mind.

"I'm Aaron by the way and Maegan can decide if she wants to. You're not her owner." Maegan looks at me while he says this. I sigh.

"If she goes, I'm going." I announce finally. I don't leave my best friend behind.

  "Wasn't Aaron the guy at the music store who tried to hurt you?" Ellington interrupts the story and I look at him and nod. His fists tighten and I look back at Cheryl, whose patiently waiting for the story to continue.

  So that Saturday came and for so help me, Maegan decides we shall go to the party.

"Mom, can I go to a party tonight? I told Maegan I'd go with her if she goes." I ask my mom who's cleaning the dishes and she turns around as in a deep thought.

"Only if Rocky goes." This stops me dead in my tracks.

"Can I please go without having a chaperone? Please?" I begged and my mom's facial expression didn't change. "Fine."
