Mystery Goth Girl

Thirteen

London's pov
I storm out of the damned restaurant where that two timing bitch happened to show up. Getting that call from Ryan is just what I needed to make my day a whole lot worse, one of my best friends isn't actually one of my friends and cheated on him. Ugh, this could not get any worse, I need to be with Ryan but Dad won't let me stay at his tonight. Hmm.... I could sneak out and leave a note saying I went to pick him up early for school tomorrow. That's what ill do it Dad doesn't let me go, so I guess when we get home I'll pack my stuff and call Ryan to let him know.
"Hunny, it'll get better I promise, nothing stays bad." I don't answer, how would he know? He hasn't just found out that his mother was cheating on his father, that they are divorcing, that someone he thought as a best friend isn't and cheated on his closest mate, he doesn't have to be confused about all the emotions going through his head, he hasn't had two new people charge into his life and mess things up, he hasn't had to put up with flashes of something so terrible that they wake him up screaming and in pain. I want it all to stop. Dad explained how he tried to fix it, I don't blame him for what's happening, I just want to be left alone once, that's all I want but that doesn't happen anymore. We get home and I walk inside first.
"How did it go, Dad?" Nic asks but when he sees my face and the way I walk up to my room he sighs.
"Taliesha cheated on Ryan to make everything worse," is the last thing I hear before I slam my room door shut. I decide to text Ryan instead of calling him as I hear Nic sit down at my door, he always does this when he knows I'm going to go off, thankfully Dad doesn't know that and he just thinks it's a protective thing he does. A note slides under my door and I pick it up.
Where are you planning on going this time? N
I write down that I'm going to make sure Ryan is okay and slide it under the door. I hear him sigh, half in relief half in frustration.
At least I know you'll be safe, I'll cover for you tomorrow morning.
I write down a thank you and get my phone to text Ryan as I put my school stuff in my bag.
Lon: I'm coming over tonight okay?
Ryzza: I figured you would, only bring your school stuff, I've still got some of your clothes here from all the times you've run off. I laugh
Lon: thanks, I'll be there in twenty. I put my phone down and finish packing my school stuff. Damn, I hope Meily is at school tomorrow, I can't go through another day in photography without her.

Climbing out my window, I carefully pull myself up to the roof and begin my walk/jump to Ryan's. The only reason I jump for about two roofs is because Dad would see me on the security cameras if I didn't and I don't want him knowing. I'd get grounded for a month for what I'm doing but that just means I have to trust Nic and not get caught.
"What are you doing up here?" I turn to see Tyler sitting on the edge of the roof.
"What's it to you?" I snap.
"I just want to know if you're clearing you head like I am or are you sneaking off? If so, be careful," I shrug and he smirks.
"Why are you clearing your head?" He doesn't need to answer, the second I ask it I know the answer myself. It's one of the reasons I'm going to Ryan's anyway. He shrugs and I leave him there before he can try talking me into staying. I run to Ryan's window and he has left it open for like always.
"Hey, nice little black dress," he looks sad, I can tell and he didn't use gloves when he took on his punching bag again, his knuckles are so bloody.
"Thanks, Ryzza, let me tend to your knuckles, gosh why do you always do this?" He shrugs knowing that I know exactly why he does it. I clean and wrap his hands, he doesn't even flinch, it's sad that this has become a regular routine. We talk and bitch and vent for hours before the sun starts to come up and we decide to sleep a little before school.

Ryan and I skip first period together, getting ready for school, he decides to put on a grey v-neck, his black jeans and black leather jacket, which I think he knows has always made me go weak in the knees, where as he gives me my tight black jeans, red singlet, black denim jacket, red heels and gives me my a black wig with a red streak through it. Last night was tough, Mason said he was now going to prom with Taliesha so Ryan and I decided to go together considering we both lost our partners. I walk out of the bathroom after doing my make up a little more bold than usual to match my outfit and see Ryan waiting for me at his car. He is fiddling with his keys when he sees me and he drops them. My god he is such a klutz, it actually takes me a while to realise he is checking me up and down, I blush hard when he looks at my chest then eyes. I know I have a larger chest than most girls, which in a way sucks, I never actually thought that Ryan would share similar thoughts for me. He clears his throat and looks embarrassed.
"Wow, uh, let me get the door for you," he looks so nervous. I get in the car and wait for him.
"Ryan, let's not go to school, not today. It's too rough for the both of us, I'll text Meily," he shook his head.
"Miely is heading over seas today remember?" Oh right, I nod. "I don't want to trouble her, let's just have an us day, we haven't done that in a while." I smile.
"I would love that, Ryan, I truly would."
