I wish she didn't  think it's was all her fault. I love there so much.

I wake up really early to the quiet sounds of my TV in front of my bed, playing children's nickelodeon shows. I switch the channel to Cartoon Network, which is playing a Steven Universe marathon. I get some breakfast, toast and avocado, then get comfy on my bed. I slowly eat and watch a few hours of the show. Is luckily a weekend, so I can just veg out for a while. I grab my bag off of the floor, sliding out my huge binder. I unzip the small pencil case on the side and grab a pencil, then flipping to the blue folder, indicating math. I sigh and pull out the worksheet, quickly writing the answers down, half focused on the television.

I finish my few hours homework first thing in day, so I can have the rest of the day to do whatever. I pull out and open the messaging app, clicking on Rileys contact.

Maddie: central park??
Riley: sure, go ask
Maddie: k, brb

I quietly open the door, making my way into the living room. Anthony sits sleepily on the couch, Storage Wars on the tv. "Hey, can I go to central park with Riley today?" I ask, getting his attention. "Oh, sure. He just has to come here and pick you up, I don't want you on the streets of New York alone." He says somewhat seriously, somewhat jokingly. I smile and thank him, then pull out my phone.

Maddie: yea, come over here whenever.
Riley: k, half hour work?
Maddie: yea see ya
Riley: ciao

I walk to my room, going to my dresser. I pull out a long sleeved, tan shirt, and deep purple leggings, the same color as Daveeds Jefferson coat. I sit with Anthony for a while, talking and watching tv. Riley knocks on the door a little while later, and I hop up to get it. My socked feet slide on the kitchen tiles to the door, as I grab the golden handle to keep from falling. Laughing, I open the door to see Riley. I bring him into the living room and I pull on my boots. We say goodbye to Anthony, then head out to the park.

We walk for a while, chatting like normal. "It's colder than I thought! I thought it was supposed to be like, 40 today." I say, getting closer to Riley. He pulls the dark blue hoodie off of himself and hands it to me. I smile, then pull it over my head. He's wearing a thick, thermal shirt, and he was saying he was hot earlier, which makes me feel a little better about taking his sweatshirt. We arrive at the park and walk around for a while, then find ourselves at the playground. We sit on the swings, laughing and talking.

We stand up a little while later and Riley leads me through the park. He pulls me onto the beautiful, stony bridge that we sat on the first time we came here on a picnic. We sit on the bridge for a while, like we did when we first came here. We run across the street to a pretty good dollar pizza place to get lunch, then I realize I hadn't told him what happened last night. "A&j got in a little fight last night. I think they'll be fine though." I say, choking up a little. He hugs me and tells me it's ok. We walk back to the house pretty slowly, both just wanting to hang out.

I unlock the door and open it. What I see makes a smile spread across my face. Anthony and Jazz are sitting on the couch, watching tv, Anthony's arms around Jasmine. I smile, then lean my head on Riley. We walk in quietly and sit on the opposite side of the couch, smiling. "I see you two are better." I say, pointing at them. "Yea, we were both in the wrong. We made up pretty quickly." Jazz says, then we all return to watching the show. We all stay there, contentedly watching the tv for a while, until dinnertime.

I walk into the kitchen and pull out pasta, garlic, butter and cheese, along with a pot and stariner. Riley follows me in and observes me furiously yet swiftly moving around the kitchen, knowing exactly what to do. The pasta is ready in about 20 minutes, and I serve it out on the table. Everyone gathers around and eats, the only sounds are the forks against bowls and the occasional question and answer. We all are content and happy, being with each other, eating good food, and having fun.
