Vivian's POV

Someone please shoot me. There are literally 5 minutes left in class and I'm so ready to go. Mr. Sanders will not shut up!! I swear to god!!! Haily and Scott are looking into each other's eyes lovingly. Like seriously those two never get tired of doing that. I mean seriously their eyes aren't that interesting. Scott's eyes are a plain blue-grey and Haily's hazel eyes look like a splash of poop on a sea of green. And Alyssa isn't really helping my bordom either. She is sitting there doodling little hearts on her paper. Hmmm she has been acting weird recently. She keeps being busy like all the time and yesterday a mysterious car picked her up from school.

**RRRIIINNNNGGGGGGG**

Hallelujah!!! I ran out of the classroom and quickly went to my locker. I grabbed my math binder and textbook and went to Ryan's locker. Guys turned their heads as I walked by. I gave them a flirty smile before arriving at Ryan's locker. He turned toward me and smiled.

"Hey Viv. How was your day??"

Can he get more perfect? He looks so gorgeous today.... SNAP OUT OF IT V!!! YOU ARE STARING!!

"What? Oh? It was fine. Same old boring classes. How was your day???"

He smiled at me and I actually had to lean against the wall so I wouldn't fall over.

"It was pretty good actually. Hey my cousin Dakota is going to pick us up today. My brother is sick. I hope you will be okay with that"

Ryan's brother Nick normally drives us to his house to study.

"Yeah of course that's fine. I hope he feels better."

"Yeah hopefully"

Ryan slammed his locker shut and held out his arm.

"Do you want me to hold some of your stuff? All that looks really heavy"

Awww he is so thoughtful!!!! I hope he asks me out soon. I mean hello? I've been to his house every day for weeks now. If something doesn't happen soon I'm going to cry.

"Aw thanks so much"

We made small talk as we walked to the front. I saw my friends and led Ryan to them.

"Hey V!" Claire yelled as I came closer.

"Hey Claire! Who is this?"

Claire turned toward the boy next to her and introduced him.

"This is Travis. Travis, this is Queen V"

Laughing, I hit Claire lightly.

"C we've already discussed this. I am a PRINCESSSSSS. Get it right bitch!!"

We all laughed at this little inside joke as the guys looked at us like we were crazy, which we are.

"Y'all this is Ryan"

Becca stomped over, looked him up and down, and finally said, "So THAT'S who Dreamboat is. It'll be nice to know who you are always talking about now."

Alyssa, Haily, and Claire found this highly amusing and started laughing like hyenas. I blushed and hissed at Rebecca.

"Really Bec??? Really???"

Ryan just laughed it off and put his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear, "Dreamboat huh?"

I blushed even more and was super relieved when the subject changed.

A few minutes later a car came up the road. Alyssa saw it and got a confused look on her face before checking her phone.

"Viv that's Dakota's car. Bye girls. It was nice meeting you."

Alyssa's face paled at the name Dakota. I looked at everyone else's faces to see if they noticed anything wrong. Please don't tell me I'm the only one that saw that...

My thoughts were distracted as Ryan pulled me to his cousin's car. The drive to his house was quite as I had no idea what to say to Dakota. We finally pulled into the house and began studying.

**two hours later**

"I don't think I can cram anything else math related into my brain anymore" I groaned as I pushed away my books.

"Yeah I think we need a break. You wanna watch some TV with me?"

We sat on the couch and he put his arm around me. The TV opened to a news station.

BREAKING NEWS: TEEN SUICIDE CAUSES HAVOC IN SMALL TOWN

shit. I struggled to regain controll of my thoughts. The memories came flooding in and I could feel tears pricking my eyes. Lily... her face appeared in my brain... "No matter what happens Vivian, don't blame yourself" "Breaking News: Teen Suicide" "13 Year Old Lily Marken" "Teen Suicide" "Teen Suicide" Suicide.... NO. NO. NO. NO!

I untangled myself from Ryan and ran to the bathroom. I turned to the mirror and forced myself to close off those memories. Put them in a drawer Viv. Please put them away....

Ryan knocked on the door as I got myself back together.

"Vivian, are you okay?"

"Yeah" I said, my voice shaking. "I'm not feeling too great all of a sudden. Is it okay if I go home early?"

"Yes of course. I think my mom's home"

"Thank you so much"

I opened the door. Ryan reached forward and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. 

"Feel better okay? I'll go get my mom."

His mom drove me home and Ryan walked me to the door. He hugged me again.

"I'm here if you need anything."

"Thank you" I whispered before kissing him on the cheek. I waved goodbye to him and barely made it up the steps before the drawer containing my memories flew open and the tears began to fall.
