Stand By Me

Chapter 4

Rehearsal wasn't exactly a fun time. I tried to stay positive and push this behind me but I couldn't.

I felt so awful and I didn't even know what I had done. Having this weighing on me put me in a bad mood and I hated being in a bad mood.

On the way home from rehearsal after dropping Leah off at a friends, a sudden feeling hit me like a wall.

I needed to go to Ryan's. I had to find out more about what I did. I couldn't just sit here being ignorant and pretending like everything was okay because it so wasn't okay.

I had been to Ryan's house a couple times before. For when our class hung out and stuff. But I hadn't ever been there alone. I usually wasn't good at confronting people about things, but when they were serious like this, I knew I had too.

Ryan's house was downtown. It was two stories, brick and had a neat garden in the front yard.

As a walked up to the front steps, my finger hesitated in front of the doorbell. What was I going to say? I had planned out some questions in the car to ask.

I pressed the door bell, and waited nervously.

After no response, I turned around to leave. This wasn't a good idea.

However, as soon as I walked back, I heard the door creak open.

"Sky?" Ryan said with his eyes glossed over.

"Yeah?"

"Come in. There's something I need to tell you."
