"Wait, Riley?" Mark said in surprise.
"why are you crying?" I asked.
"how's Dan?" he said with attitude avoiding the question.
"Mark, I'm not dating him, that was me on the phone." I said turning to him.
"Really. I was the jerk. You were in the tree. You didn't mean to hurt me and I was a bitch about it." he mumbled quickly.
"sounds accurate." I rolled my eyes in anger. He turned back to his phone. I glanced over at what he was looking at. He was scrolling though all the pictures he has taken of us.
That's what he was crying about. He missed me. Was he jealous?
I just stood up and started walking over to the guys.
"Righ, wait." Mark said standing up as I turned around.
"What." I snapped.
"I missed you." he said crying.
"I thought you were gone forever." he started to cry harder.
"Why? there's nothing to miss." I said getting glossy eyed.
"I don't know." he said bowing his head in shame. I took a step forward towards him. He looked up.
"please forgive me." he sobbed quietly. Than anger took over. I let out a slightly evil laugh.
"you think I would forgive you, after you first off abandoned me and second off caused memory's of the most painful day of my life?" I spat.
"Well-" I cut him off.
"Before you say anything the answer is NO!" I yelled pushing him with all my force and him stumbling back a few steps. Than before I knew I heard Ken yell 'Hey!" before I felt a stinging sharp pain on my left cheek. It took me a few seconds to realize Mark slapped me. I stood there eyes shut tightly, clenching my fists from pain and not moving a muscle.
"MARK! YOU DON'T HIT GIRLS!" I heard Wade yell in anger. I soon felt the sting of my tears were he slapped me. I fell to the ground not ever wanting to see another day.
"RILEY!" I heard Jack yell. I felt someone pick me off the ground and hold me bridal style. I slowly opened my eyes to see Jack in sitting on the ground holding me in complete shock. Than I basically threw a tantrum. Yelling and screaming curses and prayers. Not really knowing what I was doing.
"Ryelles, please calm down." Jack whispered into my ear.
"I'm sorry" I sniffed. Than Jack kissed me, on the lips. I could tell it was in a friendly way to make me calm the fuck down, but I felt like for a split second it was something more. that gave me mixed emotions.
"WHY THE FUCK!" I hear Ken yell.
"Ya Mark, that was messed up." I heard Felix follow up.
"I'm sorry Righ, I don't know what the fuck has gotten into him lately." Jack smiled at me. I sat up us both sitting on the grass.
"I honestly thought he was different. And To be honest I think I was falling for him. But I hit the ground pretty quickly." I laughed even know I meant every word with true pain.
"don't worry, feeling come and go. And if they stay, you can always talk to me about it." he said sincerely.
"Thanks, I think I might head out now. Bye." I kissed his forehead and quickly grabbed my stuff and headed inside without anyone noticing. I walked up to Zak.
"Time to go bud." I whispered. With no arguing at all he got up and sooner than I realized we were out the door and walking down the street.
"I love you." he whispered grabbing my hand.
"I love you too." I looked down at him smiling as he looked up at me.

~home~

I tucked Zak in and started walking out.
"Wait, tell me a bedtime story, please." he gave me a sweet, tiered smile.
"Okay, I have a good one." I grinned.
