when he starts up the engine and we get back on the road I notice something on the ground "wait! stop the bike," I scream in his ear "I can't just stop in the middle of the road" he yells "pull up onto the pavement" I reply while rolling my eyes at his remark.
"what is it," he says impatiently and I smile showing all my teeth "I found your helmet," I say and he laughs "are you serious?" he questions "yeah so now you can wear it and protect your head from getting injured" I state with a smirk.
"I don't think so maybe the other way round" he answers while smirking back at me. We both laugh and get back on to the bike and head home.
The whole ride we didn't say anything to each other... Literally nothing no word from the two of us it was awkward.
As we both returned home I stepped off of the bike and placed the helmet on the back of the bike. Just as I was about to go he stops me by coughing "aren't you forgetting something" he says and I reply back by saying "no not really... Oh wait! my bag thanks" and with that, I turn on my heel and walk away.
Until I'm hindered by his arm "so I basically save your ass from a bunch of bad guys and return you home... May I add safely" he says emphasizing the word safely.
"oh sorry...thank you for helping me" I answer and he drops his hand off of my arm. I walk towards my front door, however, I don't see any of the lights on "where's mama" I mutter to myself until I hear Jax's voice "Clara your mom's here" he claims and I turn myself around and walk up to Jax.
"hey Jax!" I say hugging him while Ryder is still standing there "by the way you two are in big trouble! even you Ryder" Jax says looking straight at Ryder. "shit" I utter to myself and walk in and Ryder follows and closes the door behind us.
I wait for him to go in first "ladies first" he says and I give him a fake smile. I walk in to see my mother and Mrs Rodriguez standing there with their arms crossed "where have you two been?" Mrs Rodriguez says looking at the two of us "and what time do you call this" my mother speaks.
I laugh a little "mama I can explain" I say and begin to tell the story of what happen "okay so first of all, I left school at 5:15 giving me 15 minutes to get home however just when I was almost home a guy grabbed me and then Ryder came and he started to beat them up and fought with them but there was too many of them so we both got onto the motorcycle and drove off and then when we lost them we headed back home" I say in one whole breath.
my mom then begins to put her hands on her hips getting vexed until Ryder speaks up he also laughs a bit and starts "what Clara is trying to say is that she was hanging around with the wrong crowd and luckily I saw her and went there to stop her from getting into some real mess but there were a lot of them so we go onto the motorbike and drove off and then we lost them so, we then headed home... I wasn't fighting ma" he explains to them which only makes them think that we were making this whole thing up.
I could see both of our mothers were getting pissed "do you two think this is some kind of joke," my mother starts. oh shit, I think to myself. "you two are grounded meaning you'll stay in your rooms without any electronic devices except your phones" Mrs Rodriguez says raising her eyebrows at us.
"come on it starts now" my mother repeats and Ryder and I sigh before I leave we both glare at each giving death stares "this all your fault," he says and I shake my head "no it's your fault".
when I get home my mother takes my laptop from my room "noooo mama come on please" I beg to her but she pushes me aside "I'm very disappointed in you, I can no longer trust you" she declares as she narrows her eyes at me before leaving slamming my door shut.
my bedroom is opposite to his so we could see each other however from the day we got to New Jersey he was always out and hardly even in his room but then again I never noticed him much until this day.
I flopped onto my bed and laid there for 5 minutes in silence till I heard knocking on my window or stones being thrown at it I ignore at first but then it begins to irritate me so I pace over to my window and open the curtains only to be greeted with Ryder what does he want.
"what do you want" i say speaking my mind "this is all your fault" he demands and I raise my eyebrow "my fault, you said I was hanging around with the wrong crowd, do you even know what that means, it means doing drugs and drinking I don't do any of them things at all" i yell placing my hands on my hips.
"oh you think that's bad you're the one who told my ma that I was fucking fighting and I beat the shit out of them" he screams back in annoyance "that's not as bad as drinking or doing drugs" I utter back quietly "my mother doesn't like it at all when men fucking fight how do you think she felt when you said that I was fighting"
"what about me, my mother thinks I do drugs and drink thanks to you" I respond "drinking and doing drugs is way worse than fighting, you can get throat cancer and liver cancer" I carry on backing myself up "oh really fighting is also bad okay, it can lead to death and most of the time you get injured badly, when people do drugs they have a good time and then get hungover the next day" he returns back, backing his point. we carry on bickering to each other.
he then stops and heavily sighs "my father fought a lot with other men that's why when you told her I was fighting she sometimes thinks that I'll be like him". I don't say anything and let him carry on.
"my dad not long ago got locked up and my mom told us we couldn't see him anymore since he's not a good role model" he states playing with his fingers "well my dad was abusive to mom and we fled and came here" I respond back. If he was going to tell his story I might as well share mine.
he gets up off of his bed "I still hate you since it's still your fault" I then get up off of mine "the feelings mutual" I smirk at him and we both close our curtains. well, that was weird and with that, I got ready to go to sleep.
