Riptide (sequel, keaton stromberg)

Chapter 12; Unpredictable

Wesleys P.O.V

I woke up as the sun grazed through my room.

"Uggh" I moaned as I got up to close the blinds.

The sun isnt helping my head which is aching from this hangover. Next time, I shouldnt drink and smoke.

I looked at the clock and it was only 6 AM. Well fuck. Thats earlier than usual.

I stumbled around my room to try to find my phone and found it on the ground next to my shirt. Man.. I wonder how that came off. Haha.

I didnt remember anything except Drew yelling at me but thats it... I wonder what he was yelling at me.. Hmm. Whatever, he'll probably give me a long inspirational speech about it later.

I grabbed my phone and was suprised to see 6 new text messages.

But what suprised me most was who they were from.

First I opened the 5 from Mandy.

- "Text her back."

- "Wes"

- "Wes"

- "Wes"

- "COME ON WES!!"

I shook my head and laughed a bit. Mandy is so impatient.

I breathed in and opened the other text that I had.

- "Wesley.. We really need to talk. As soon as possible.. Please.."

From Alex.

That kind of hit me hard, its like, She knows whats been going on, and i've been messing up so much lately. She needs an explanation. I quickly changed my clothes and and fixed my hair, and sprayed my old spice spray on me.

I was going to just go out the front door, but that could be risky. Drew wouldnt let me leave. But, I just feel like I need to, you know that feeling? Its like, my heads telling me no, but my hearts telling me yes.

I opened my window and grabbed my skateboard. I threw it out and it landed in the bush across my backyard.

I walked on the roof and went of to the thicker railing one the side of the house. I debated on how to go down, it was extra challenging considering my rooms on the second floor and that im wearing skinny jeans.

I grabbed on to the rail and slowly slid down it trying not to break it. Halfway down, I just jumped off and grabbed my board and ran down the road.

I didnt skate til I couldnt see my house anymore, otherwise they might hear it. My skateboards really loud and I just dont want to take any chances.

I guess my years of sneaking out a lot have paid off.

I skated to her house and hopped off my board. I looked at my phone and it was 6:30. Shes probably not even awake.

I called her but she didnt answer. Thats my luck. I groaned and called Mandy. It rang about 10 times before she picked up.

"Hey Wes" She said in a perky tone.

"Uhh Umm hey" I replied.

"So whatcha doin?" She said as she laughed. I dont know what was funny about that, but she laughed anyways.

"Uh nothing I was wondering if-" I said before she cut me off.

"Wesley I see you standing outside my house. Im assuming youre here to talk to Alex. She just woke up though, unlike me who's an early bird, shes the opposite. She'll probably be out of her room in an hour." She said as she waved at me through the window.

I laughed and waved back.

"Alright, I guess i'll go get breakfest down the road at the buffet. Call me when shes up" I said as I started skating.

"Yada yada will do. Adios Senõr!" She said as she hungup. That girl is just a buddle of perky. I swear..

I sat at the buffet and ate only a bagel, considering I only had a dollar on me. It was about an hour and half until Mandy called me. I skated quickily back to her house, anxious to talk to Alex. I didnt know what she was going to say to me, but I knew it couldnt be good.

I arrived at her house and she was already standing outside waiting for me.

"Hey" She said as she saw me.

"Hi" I replied and ran my fingers through my hair.

"Lets go." She said awkwardly and she started walking.

I wasnt sure where we were heading but I didnt question her. Soon enough, I became familiar with the way we were heading and knew we were going to the skatepark.

She walked over to the big bowl and slid down it, laying her back on the side. I did the same and sat my board down near by.

There was a silence between us, its like neither of us didnt know what to say, but it wasnt awkward. It was almost natural. Peaceful.

"Remember when you brought me here.. You never got to ask me what you were gonna" She said as she sighed and crossed her arms.

"Yeah. I do." I said as I crossed my arms also.

"What is it? What were you going to ask me?" She asked as she turned towards me.

I turned tolds her also and sighed.

"Remember that day in the car, when you cried when I said those things to you?" I said not really liking that part of what happend.

She nodded and frowned a little.

"When you cried.. I know you saw me smile. It isnt because im some bad person. Its just when you cried, you showed me emotion. Emotion that showed you still care. Maybe not a lot, but you do. I want to know why you do?" I said as I looked at her straight in the eyes.

She looked at me, but didnt say anything. She just stared at me.

"Wesley.. I cant answer that" She said sounding a bit confused.

"Why not" I said quietly trying not to lose eye contact.

"I.. Im.. I still.. I cant." She said as she quickly looked down.

"Okay" I said sad about the answer. But, I knew it. I knew she had feelings for me. She just didnt want too.

"Wesley why do you smoke and drink? Dont tell me some bullshit answer either." She said demanding me too, but it felt like she already knew. I probably ended up telling her last night.

I sighed.

"You wouldnt get it.." I said as I sat up and looked across the bowl. There was graffiti all across it and a little bit of blood around it. Someone mustve hit it hard. I found myself distracted and forgot about Alex, I quickly refocused on her.

"Then tell me. Make me get it." She said as she turned her body in front of me so I was staring straight at her.

"Its just. I've been through this before, I fell for a girl named Tracie, and she left.. She just drived me crazy. The thing is, she doesnt even compare to you, I am completley and uncontrollably in love with you." The last part I whispered and cupped her face. She looked at me almost like shes waiting for me to say "Just kidding! You just got Punk'D" But that wasnt going to happen.

I, Wesley Stromberg, the player and badass, just poured his heart out to my brothers girlfriend.

She pushed me off and got up.

"If youre really in love with me, then come on." She said as she started walking off. This girl in unpredictable

"Where are we going?" I asked as I got up and went after her.

"You'll see." She said as she winked at me and kept walking.
