"We're not dating," {COMPLETED}

Chapter 18: We are not dating!

"Riley, we are going to the hospital now," I wake up to see Madden over my bed. I nod. I get up and brush my hair, get dressed and go out into the hallway.

It looks like everyone was just waiting for me to be ready.

"Uh Ember, Change your skirt, I can see clear to the top of the Christmas tree," My mom says. Ember sighs and goes back to her room.

"Can I go now?" I ask my mom.

"I don't see why not," She says. I look at Madden he shrugs and gets his keys out of his pocket and we start walking to the car.

"Madden," I say in a sing song voice.

"Riley," He says in the same time.

"I just wanted to say that you are a great friend for coming here with me and you're great," I say going to hug him. He hugs me back.

"Well thank you, but you will be saying that last part later tonight," He says I smack him upside the head. He chuckles.

"I love you baby," He says sarcasm laced in his voice. I hit his arm. "Do you see how she treats me. All I want is some love and I never get any," He says to an elderly woman. And she looks at me and shakes her head.

"You deserve better," She says to him. He sighs and shrugs and gets in the car after I do.

"You are an idiot," I hit him repeatedly. He tries to block my hits.

"Ok! ok! Do you want to go to the hospital or not!" He yells.

"I rather put you in it!" I snap. He chuckles and starts the car.
*~*

"Hey," I say as I go into Clay's room.

"Hey," He says putting down his tray of food. "Where were you guys yesterday?" He asks.

"We had to go to football," Madden says sitting down on when of the chairs, then he pays his lap and winks at me. I roll my eyes. Clay chuckles awkwardly.

"Are you guys dating or something?" He asks.

"No," I say.

"Yes," Madden says at the same time as me. I roll my eyes.

"We're not dating," I state. He laughs.

"So where is everyone else?" Clay asks.

"Um, Mom was going to go and find some pictures to help bring back your memory," I tell him. He nods.

"Could you do something for me?" He asks me.

"I'll go get you some Mac n' Cheese," I say and get up with my purse.

"No," He laughs. "I want you to go see if Lauren is in today," He says. I look at him for a minute and nod. It seems like he really likes this girl.

Clay's POV

I ask Riley to go see if Lauren is in today because one, she is really hot and I like talking to her and two, I wanted to talk to Madden. He seems like a cool guy and all, but he reminds me to much of myself. And that scares me, especially if I really did care about Riley I wouldn't want a guy like me with her.

"So do you like that Lauren girl?" Madden asks.

"I don't know man," I say rubbing my neck. "Do you like Riley," I ask him.  He looks at me and then looks down.

"I don't know," He says. I chuckle. He looks at me confused.

"I bet you do," I say. He smiles.

"Maybe. But we're just friends," He says. I smile at him.
