Riker’s POV

            I went straight to our room and just sat on my bed replaying everything that happened today. “I need to do something to get this thing out of my mind,” I said to myself and changed into more my sweatpants and went downstairs.

            “Where are you going?” Rydel asked seeing I had my guitar and some papers with me. “Oh. I’ll just try to write some songs,” I answered. “Check with us when you’re finished then,” Rocky added. I nod for an answer and went to sit beside the pool.

            I tried getting a tune going on and wrote some words on the paper. I don’t even care if they rhyme or not, I just wrote what my hands told me. “Is that supposed to be with a girl bestfriend?” Rocky asked on the back of my shoulder.

            I shrugged and kept on strumming some chords. “Are you okay?” Rocky asked again and I can hear his small laughs. “Just bored,” I answered and punched him lightly on the arm.

            “But we could work on that if you want to,” he said pointing on the paper with the lyrics I wrote on it. “Let’s see,” I smiled and stood up. “I’m hungry!” I added stretching out. “Mom’s fixing dinner at the moment,” Rocky said and I just looked at my brother and went inside.

            “So how was Josh’s girlfriend?” my mom asked once I entered our kitchen to grab something to drink. “It went well,” I answered trying to sound happy. “How is she? Is she beautiful?” my mom added. “She is on Riker’s eyes,” Rydel’s voice suddenly answered.

            I started coughing feeling some water enter my lungs. “What do you mean?” my mom asked patting my back. I gave Rydel a look which told her to quit talking. “Everybody is beautiful on Riker’s eyes,” she grinned and smirked on me before leaving the kitchen.

            I rolled my eyes on my sister and put the glass on the sink. I looked at my mom who was giving me a suspicious look. “Trust me mom. Everything’s okay,” I smiled at her. She sighed and went back to cooking dinner.

            After we ate, I took a quick shower and plopped myself on my bed. I was checking on my twitter when Josh sends me a text.

To: Riker

            DUDE! I’VE GOT ACCEPTED!!

From: Josh

            I looked at my phone with a confused look and replied to him immediately.

To: Josh

            What? Accepted where?

From: Riker

            I pulled my covers and pillow closer waiting for him to text back.

To: Riker

            Remembered the job I was aiming for on writing musical songs for plays? Guess who just got into training? And that’s not all, the training’ll be on PARIS baby!!

From: Josh

            Wow! That’s huge for Josh. He always wants to be a playwright and he’s now actually close to reaching it. I was about to text him a congratulations when another text came.

To: Riker

            Oh and could you watch Precious over. I mean, make sure she’s okay. I’ll be busy with our schedule and I think I can’t communicate with her often. I trust you more than anyone and you both mentioned earlier that you knew each other so that’ll be better. Thank bro.

From: Josh

            Wait! I have to watch over on his girlfriend? No wait, my old bestfriend. I stared at the text and read it over and over again. I need to make sure nobody can get near Precious. They’re both my bestfriend so I should do to make their relationship work.

            “Who are you texting?” Rocky asked entering our room. “Josh wants me to look after Precious while his gone,” I answered putting my phone down. “Why? He wants you to babysit his girlfriend?” he asked laughing.

            “He’ll just go away for a while. And he wants to make sure their relationship’ll work,” I said closing my eyes. This day was really tiring me physically, emotionally and now mentally.

            “That’s great then. You can spend more time with her and reminisce the good ol days,” he said with his hands flying everywhere. I shook my head and thought of what he said.

            I’m feeling guilty that I felt a hint of happiness to know Josh is going away for a while. And Rocky is right, I do want to spend more time with Precious. But I don’t know if my feelings for her are really coming back. And it’ll be unhealthy if it did. I can’t let it happen.
