DEEP AND DARK AND DANGEROUS

CHAPTER 2

  RYAN P.O.V

“Ryan, I want you to meet my parents.” Jared said to me. I looked at him. We were sitting on a rock in the woods behind our school.

“Today?”

“I guess.” He looked back at me. “Whats wrong?” 

“They wont like me.” I said. I had this fear that his parents wouldn’t like me. They seem like they are rich and all fancy and... I just don’t know.

“Ryan, are you crazy? I haven’t stopped talking about you. They wanna meet you.” He said.

“Thats not it. What if they see everything about me, that I have depression. That I’ve cut before-”

“You what?!”He almost yelled. “Lets me see your arms.” He said and pulled my sleeves up. “Ryan.” I pulled my pants up too.

“ ‘Softball’. Wrong.” I said.

“Ryan please stop.” He said.

“I’m doing my best. Its been three weeks.” I said. He looked at me.

“Three weeks since he left too.” He knew about my ex, Zach. I looked down at the ground.

“He fills my every thought.” I said. “You fill my heart.” I looked up at him. I saw a smile creep up onto his face.

“Please just meet them.” I rolled my eyes.

“When?” I asked smiling.

“Right now.” He said as he helped me stand up and nearly ran to his car. “I don’t care what they say about you. Its not changing my mind.” He said. I smiled at him. We both got into his car and he drove down the road. We came to the edge of the woods where he turned onto a random road. There was trees everywhere. When we pulled up to his house it was huge. There was a big garage and the house was ten times bigger than any house I had ever seen. I thought my house was big. Their house was huge.

“Wait. Are you sure about this?” I asked. I looked up at the big house. “They seem like they wouldn’t like a girl like me.” I looked down at the ground.

“Ryan, they will love you.” He lifted my chin up. I didn’t really believe him. We walked up to the front door that was all glass. He opened the door and stood to the side so I could walk in. He walked in behind me and closed the door behind us. “Mom? Dad?” He shouted out.

“In the kitchen!” We heard someone call back. He walked up the steps to the kitchen. The kitchen was very open. It had white cabinets with Silver knobs. The dishwasher, stove and fridge were also silver. “I was making-” A women stood at the stove. “Who’s this?” She asked.

“Mom, this is Ryanne.” He said. She looked at me.

“Well you’re beautiful.” I blushed.

“Thank you.” I said. No one really called me Ryanne but my parents when I did something bad.

“We were having tacos for dinner would you like to stay?” She asked. I loved tacos.

“Sure, thank you.” I said as Jared led me to the island where we could sit. We talked for a little while longer until Jared got up.

“I’ll show you the rest of the house.” He said and led me to the living room. “The living room.” He said and we walked up the stairs. He pointed to different rooms telling me what was what. We reached the last door in the hallway. “My room.” He said as he swung the door open.
