I Taught The Bad Boy How To Drive✔

Ticket to my dead sister

(Chapter 24)
*Alyssa's POV*
            "Sweetie, are you alright. We've noticed that you've been really down these days" My dad asked, his eyebrows furrowed, at the dinner table. We hadn't sat down to eat together in weeks. If they noticed I was down, I must have made it really obvious, considering the fact that they were barely home. "No-no I'm fine" I cleared my throat as I twirled my spaghetti around my fork. My parents exchanged a glance and I knew they were thinking of my sister and how they hadn't noticed her major dieting. Yet, they did nothing to improve instead, pushing me farther away.
                                 ***
   The doorbell rung twice and my mother came out of the kitchen to get it. I stuffed Dorritos into my mouth, my eyes glued to Riverdale playing on TV. "Alyssa dear, it's for you. And its a boy. He seems familiar but his impractical sunglasses make it hard to recognize. Go see." My mother said with a shrug and I switched the TV off, watching Jughead's beautiful face disappear. Whoever it was better have a good reason for disturbing me or they'd be as dead as Jason Blossom.
            I made my way to the door and peaked out. My heart stopped as I stared into the chocolate eyes of the boy I was trying to avoid for the rest of my life. Not trusting myself to speak, I quickly began to shut the door. "Wait! Cinn- er, Alyssa. I'm really sorry" Adrian cried and I paused. His hands were behind his back, he wore a leather jacket over a white shirt and black jeans. Despite the dark, sunglasses were placed over his smooth hair. Did he really have the nerve to just assume I would forgive him with one sorry? Then again, bad boys have a hella lot of nerves. He must have seen it on my face because he looked down piteously. "It was all a mistake. Please, I didn't know what I was doing and I'm really really really sorry. I know that this isn't a worthy apology for what I did but no apology in the world could ever fix what I did or ever be enough for what you deserve. I would choose you over any freaking girl who comes to my house, Alyssa Payton."He pleaded. What? What could I say to this?
          After I didn't say anything he held out one of his hands to me. In it was a piece of paper. "What's this?" I asked and took it, my skin heating as we brushed fingers. "An apology present" He replied sheepishly. I held it up and examined it. It was a ticket. An airplane ticket. It said 'Alyssa Payton. San Fransisco to Venice'. My breath caught and I stared at it in disbelief. "Is it real?" I gasped. Adrian chuckled. "As real as I'm here" I gaped at the ticket like it was gold and gingerly held it as if I were afraid to tear it. "Wow. Adrian, I know what you did was.. Mean. But you shouldn't have. Whoa, thank you so much." I whispered and resisted the urge to fling my arms around him. "So, I'm-I'm actually going to Venice" I felt like I was in a perfect daze. "We are going to Venice." Adrian corrected and held out his other hand with a second ticket and his name on it. "I know this isn't as sweet as roses and all but.." He trailed. "OH MY GOD ADRIAN! Thank you so much you douche! DEFINITELY better than roses" I Couldn't stop myself from flinging my arms around his neck this time and he laughed, showing all his perfect teeth. After realizing what I just did, I hastily took my hands back and tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. "I'm really sorry, Cinnamon" He said softly and this time I didn't correct him.

     I lay on my bed, staring at my ticket in awe. "Night Aly" My mom called from the hall, not bothering to come to my room. My breath hitched, when I realized my first problem: Convincing my parents to let me go. It would be hard, but nothing, no one would stop me from going to the place of my dreams. Especially when it was with the Bad Boy. Wait, did I just let my heart slip that easily again? But he had said sorry, and if he didn't mean it, I was in for a major heart break. But what's life without a few risks, even if my heart was on the line?
