Broken Heart

Chapter 11 : Date

Chapter 11

Later...

Riker POV

Rydel had picked me out an outfit for tonight. I was wearing white ripped skinny jeans and a black button up shirt. It had long sleeves so it could hide my cuts. I really didn't need anyone else finding out...

I was wearing my glasses too because I sort of lost my contacts. Oops...

Rydel was making spaghetti, because who doesn't like spaghetti? I was practically bouncing off the walls because I was so excited.

"Rik, are you going to walk over to her house soon?" Rydel asked.

"Yeah. But it's only 4:30. I'll go in a little while."

Paige was still here apparently, and walked into the kitchen. She grabbed my wrist, and dragged me into the hall.

"Stop! Let me go! I don't want to talk to you!" I said, trying to pull my hand away.

"Riker, I want to talk about what happened with mine and Curt's date. I want you to tell my why exactly I shouldn't do the same thing to you tonight."

"Because you broke my heart and I deserve another chance at love!"

"Riker, that doesn't change what you did though. And that was pretty mean of you."

"Well it was pretty mean of you to break my heart!"

"Riker, it's my decision of whether or not I want to date you."

"Yeah, well you're really annoying! I'm glad we broke up! I would never want to get back together with you. Ever!"

"Riker-"

"Save it! I have a date to go pick up!"

I stormed out of the house. And I started running down the road to Ashley's house. I knocked on her door.

"Hey, Riker!"

"Hey, um... We're just having dinner at my house. I hope that's ok," I said, nervously.

"Yeah, that's fine!"

"Ok, good..."

She took my hand, and I started leading her back to my house.

"Um... So I think my ex might be at my house... And if she tries to ruin our date, then I'm sorry... I don't know what's going on with her."

"It's fine. But thanks for the warning."

We got to my house, and went inside. Paige shot me a look, but I ignored it, and brought Ashley to the kitchen.

"Ashley, this is my sister-"

"Rydel. I know. I watch you on YouTube."

"Right... I forgot... Well um... She made us dinner."

"Awesome."

Rydel brought in the food. I sat down across from Ashley at the table. I could see Paige in the living room, watching us. Rydel went and sat next to her. I feel like I'm being spied on...

"So Ashley... Um... Tell me a little about yourself."

"I may or may not be an R5 fangirl."

Oh boy...

"Um... What else?"

"What do you want to know?"

"I don't know... Whatever, I guess..."

"Um... Well I'm 19. I have a few brothers. And um... I don't know!"

"Ok... Well do you want to know anything about me?"

"Riker, I already know everything about you."

Um... Creepy much?

"Um... Alright..."

I just sort of ate my spaghetti, trying to avoid the awkwardness. To be honest, I was a little creeped out.

Riker POV

Our date didn't actually go too bad. After we got over the initial weirdness and awkwardness, it was sort of nice. I told her she could stay and watch a movie with me, so that's what we were doing right now. But I made sure not to pick something scary. And Paige and Rydel weren't anywhere to be found, thank god...

Right now I had my arm around Ashley, and she was snuggled into my side, with her arm around my stomach.

"Riker, it's cold."

"Um... I could go get you one of my sweatshirts if you want."

"Yes."

"Ok."

I jumped up, and ran upstairs. I grabbed a sweatshirt, and gave it to Ashley. She put it on, and snuggled into my side again.

Riker POV

When the movie was over, we both sort of stretched, and then got up.

"So do you want to walk me home?" Ashley asked.

"Um, sure. I can do that."

We walked out the door.

"Tonight was really fun, Riker," Ashley said as we walked.

"Yeah, it was a lot of fun."

"What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Nothing that I know of... Why?"

"Do you want to hang out?"

"Sure!"

"Cool. Meet me at my house around noon, and then we'll decide what to do, ok?"

"Yeah."

We got to her house, and she gave me a hug.

"Thanks for tonight, Riker."

"You're welcome."

"And... I'm borrowing your hoodie."

I laughed slightly.

"Ok... Um... I'll see you tomorrow then, ok?"

"Yup!"

"Alright. Bye."

"Bye, Riker!"

She kissed my cheek, and then went inside. I felt myself blushing hard from the kiss.

I went back home and found Rydel and Paige standing at the front door with their hands on their hips.

"What? Let me in!" I said, pushing past them.

They grabbed me by my arms, and pulled me into the living room.

"I don't like her, Riker. She's a crazy fangirl stalker person," Rydel said.

I sat down on the couch.

"I don't like her either. I think she's trying to use you or something," Paige said.

"No way! You're just jealous I found somebody else! Why don't you just go hang out with Curt, and I'll hang out with Ashley, ok!?"

"Rik, stop shouting. Mom will yell at you," Rydel said.

"Well I'm hanging out with Ashley tomorrow, so I don't care what you guys think!"

I stormed up to my room. Rocky was up there, and he looked a little confused.

"Don't ask," I said, grabbing pajamas and going to change in the bathroom.
