Chapter 13: You're my wonderwall

Ryder's POV:

"Ryder? What are you doing?" Kyle's voice rang in my ears.

"K-Kyle I-I can explain." I stuttered, cleaning myself up.

"D-Do you have an eating disorder? Are you bulimic?" He asked, taking a step closer to me.

I sighed.

"Yes." I said.

He pulled me into a hug and squeezed me tight.

"You are the strongest person I know." He whispered, kissing the top of my head. "Now get ready, were leaving 15." Then, he left.

I went to the bathroom, sitting my phone onto the iHome, pressing shuffle, playing Shake Me Down by Cage the Elephant.

I sang along with the somg as I cleaned myself up.

I stepped out and wrapped my body in a towel, blow drying my hair.

I pulled on light washed, studded, high waisted denim shorts, my black crop tank that says 'FREE', with a black and beige Aztec shrug. I pulled on my brown lace-up boots.

I left my hair at it's natural curls, pulling on a black beanie.

I slid downstairs as everyone was ready.

We walked to the beach as Wes, Drew, Keaton, Kyle, and Kenny found their friends, who sat around a big bonfire.

"Hi Ryder. How are you?" Breezie asked, hugging me.

"I'm good. And you?" I asked hugging her back.

"I've been great." She said as we pulled apart.

I introduced her to my cousins as I introduced them to her.

We all sat down as Wes, Drew, Keaton, Kyle and Kenny played Sunset Blvd.

"Ryder, come play something." Drew yelled.

I shook my head 'no' while waving my hands aroud.

Wes pushed me up towards him.

This cannot be happening.

I grabbed the guitar from Drew, shooting him death glares and he gave me a reassuring smile.

I strummed the chords to one of my all time favorite songs, Wonderwall by Oasis, as Wes played along with me, Kenny on the bongos.

"Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street

That the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels

The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

But I don't know how

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day

But they'll never throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you're not to do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do

About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding

And all the lights that light the way are blinding

There are many things that I would like to say to you

But I don't know how

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall

Said maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

You're gonna be the one that saves me

You're gonna be the one that saves me"

I sang along, as I finished, everyone clapped but, the loudest was Drew, who was screaming and yelling.

"Hell yeah! That's my baby girl! Oh yeah!" He yelled, everyone now staring at him.

Everyone bursted into fits of laughter, as I sat down.

I grabbed a water bottle and downed it, getting rid of my hunger.

The fireworks, that Drew was talking about earlier, randomly started going off. I looked to my left and saw Jess leaning on Wes' shoulder, Ethan looking pissed, and Carly looking a bit sad.

I watched as the fireworks shot across the sky, with it's amazing, beautiful colors, and the loud pop it makes as it explodes.

I noticed that Carly was standing down my the water. I got up and jogged downto her.

"Hey." I said, standing next her.

"Oh, hey Ryder. Can I talk to you?" She asked.

"Of course." I answered as we walked across the shore line.

"What do you do...if you have feelings for someone but, you're not sure of they like you back?" She asked.

"Depends on the type of person they are. If they're chill and nice you should tell him. If he's not...well I don't think you should because, if he doesn't feel the same, who knows what could happen."

"Thank you so much Ryder. You're the best." Carly said, pulling me into a tight squeeze.

By the time it 1:30 am the fire started to die down, and people started to leave.

We all made our way back to the house as I lied on the couch.

The last thing I remembered was falling asleep to the sound of Family Guy in the t.v.
