Running Into Hamilton

Together -part 59

We pull into the parking lot and walk upstairs, Anthony pulling out his phone to call Riley.

*maddies pov*

I head into my room, knowing Anthony would send me there anyway. I can faintly hear his words through the door, sounding aggravated and slightly hostile. "Listen, you did not ask my daughter out again, correct?" He says, but I can't hear the response. "Good. I don't want her dating you, but she really thinks she wants to be with you. If you can stay out of trouble for a week, you can date her. If she asks you." He says, and i hear him say goodbye. I hang in my room for a while, then see my phone light up.

Riley: I'm assuming you heard the phone call.
Maddie: ya. Don't be an idiot
Riley:I know. I'm sorry.
Maddie: no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry this happened to you.
Riley: don't be. I was the idiot
Maddie: ok well soz, see you tomorrow
Riley: see ya then

I skip out to the living room, smelling Anthony cooking leftovers. Not really cooking, but still. I sit at the table, leaving my phone in my room. We have a long, fun, family dinner.

*time skip 1 week*

It's finally one week later. I hope out of Anthony's car and run to Riley. "Hey, come to my house tonight. Ant will pick both of us up after rehearsal." I say, smiling. Riley returns the smile, but much bigger. I get through the day and walk into the familiar auditorium. I place my bag with Rileys, and we sit in our regular spots. I'm still hesitant, though, leaning the opposite direction from him, rather than leaning on him. We continue through rehearsal, then stand and walk out to the car.

We get in and have a quite quiet ride down to the apartment. We all walk in and immediately migrate to the couch, where jazz is already sitting. Anthony speaks first. "So, you two can get back together if you want. Riley, you better not screw up though. And I'm really sorry about what happened. Is your dad home yet?" He asks, remembering his dad was out of town again. Riley gently shakes his head, and I hug him. "You can stay on the couch if you want, it's probably hard to stay home for you." Anthony says sympathetically, jazz nodding.

We all watch TV for a while, after eating dinner. Riley stays on the couch, I head to my room, and jazz and ant to theirs. I sleep soundly, for once, knowing that I can be with Riley.
