It's Always 2 VS 1: A LeLi Fanfiction

Chapter 5

I just stood there for a second. Everything started to get a bit blurry so I wiped my eyes. I looked down at my hand, feeing something wet on it. Are those tears? As in I'm crying? I don't cry. Especially over a dumb girl. I wiped my hand on my pants in a panic and looked down at my phone, hearing it continuously dinging. I looked at it.

Call from: Mah Duuuuddeee

I shrugged and answered it.

"Sup man."

"Ryder, mad party in an hour. Taylor's house. Be there dude. Mini bar, girls, music, everything."

"I'll be there." I say before hanging up and going upstairs to change, taking Noel to his room first. I pulled my phone out again and called a family friend.

"Hey Ryder." I hear the other line pick up.

"Hey Amanda, can you watch Noel for a bit tonight?"

"Another party."

"Maybe." I stretched out as she chuckled.

"What time do I need to be there and do I need to stay the night?"

"45 minutes and until I get back."

"So I'll bring a change of clothes. But I'm coming in sweats and a hoodie."

"You do you." I laugh. Amanda is a girl in my grade, but from another school. She was the one who got me into fis kind of stuff. All I'm gonna say is my first one.

"Okay, I'll be there on a bit." She says. "Bye Rydie."

"See you later Amanda." I get in just before she hangs up. She was real pretty. A year ago we got really close. I'm still trying to figure out if we had something, not sure though. We call it friends with benefits. I walked to my own room from Noels and opened my closet door. I pulled out a pair of dark jeans, a thin, white, loose-necked shirt and a black leather riding jacket. I jumped in the shower, getting the feeling of relief when a the warm water hit my head and ran down my face. I got out after half an hour and threw on black Calvins before wrapping a towel around my waist. I brushed my teeth and dried my hair, the. Walked into my room to throw on my clothes. I put my pants on and grabbed my black boots, lacing them up before putting on my shirt and grabbing my jacked. Just as I finished, the door slammed shut. Classic Amanda.

"I'm here Bitch!" I hear the familiar voice yell up.

"Coming!" I yelled down. Didn't even get a chance to leave the room before I heard the oh so familiar sound of her boots on the wooden stairs. "Damn, you sure are impatient." I laugh as a smile widens across her face.

"And you sure are all grown up. My little Rydies all grown now." She laughs, pinching my cheek.

"Shut up, you're a day older than me." She rolls her eyes and pulls me into a hug.

"I've missed you! It's been too long!"

"It really has been. If you wan you can join me at the party. Free beer."

"What about Noel?"

"I can drop him off with my this lady down the road."

"You're gonna drop him off at some random ladies house?"

"She's like 80. I used to go over all the time and get food."

"That's so she can eat you."

"Oh please, I think she's safe." I smile, leading Amanda into Noel's room. "I thought you said you were gonna wear sweats and a hoodie?" I continued the conversation while walking. I can multitask well😏😂.

"Yeah, I changed my mind." She said, gesturing to the grey shirt and black jeans with a red flannel around her waist, a maroon beanie sitting perfectly on her silky, brown hair. I smiled at her and saw her roll her emerald green eyes. "Don't stare at me, we had one thing a year ago." So it was something.

"Don't forget about when y-"

"We do not speak of that."

"How a-"

"Nor that." She shut me up real quick. I picked up Noel as he tugged on my ear. "He's gotten so big." She grins, taking him from me, playing with his stomach with one hand while holding him with her other arm.

"So, wanna come?"

"You still have that bike of yours?"

"Never go anywhere without her."

"Then I'm in." She smirks at me and carries Noel downstairs. I shrug and follow her down. I grab my keys and phone, then we walk outside. It was silent the whole way there, from dropping Noel off, to the party, we were dead silent. I stopped at a modern white house with lights coming from all the windows. I smile at the sight of Halton pulling up in an old mustang. I helped Amanda off my bike and we walked over to Halton.

"Hey man." He smiles, doing a handshake and pulling me into a hug, patting my back as I do his. "Amanda!" He laughs, leaving me to hug her.

"Sup dweeb." She chuckles, pulling the same crooked smirk.

"You two ready?" I groan, leaning my head back, seeing the stars shining. I love the stars, honestly one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long while.

"Ryder!" Halton screams, punching me in the shoulder.

"Fuck off." I groan again, following them inside. Fuck I need a drink bad. I get to the door and knock. A minute later, Taylor opens the door of his house and I immediately regret my decision to come. They're here.
