Holding On (Before You Exit Fan Fic)

Chapter 8

*Reilin's POV*

Right now, I feel like my head is spinning.

Last time I remember we we're at New Orleans now we're at Orlando, Florida with a new house and a new neighborhood.

And now as in like right now, I'm eating pizza across these people I just met. Cameron seems to like them but for me, I don't know. They're all nice but I don't know if I can trust them yet. I've had trust issues ever since that thing happened at New Orleans. But as of now, I think these guys are all nice. With the way they welcomed us, their hospitality, its pretty overwhelming. I think their looks is a big bonus. They're all very good looking guys and if I said good looking they are really good looking and I even added a 'very', so.

I was casually eating my pepperoni pizza when one of the guys asked me, "So do you have a boyfriend?"

I almost choked that even Kate offered me water. I took a long drink and swallowed hard. "W-what?" I asked.

"Oh don't pretend you didn't hear me. So, do you?" I think that cheeky one named Thomas asked.

"Um, I don't." I said still looking confused with everything.

Cameron snickered and I elbowed him on the ribs, hard. He made an I'm-in-so-much-pain sound that made me smile a little.

"Reilin haven't had a boyfriend before." Cameron said so quickly that he had time to defend himself from my weapon; my elbow. My face is flashed with anger, embarassment, awkwardness all at the same time. I think I'm gonna barf. I gave Cam a look, a look that can (if possible) kill people.

I looked down at my pizza and suddenly I don't feel hungry anymore. I feel like the pizza had an after taste that taste like medicine.

Thomas is looking at me with disbelief, "You seriously haven't had a boyfriend? Even one?"

I shook my head. I feel so embarassed. I want to go home and cry myself to death. Why is having a boyfriend a big deal anyway? I'm saving myself for the best, okay. Don't you understand that?! I want to say but I'm not that type of person who says everything that's on their mind.

"I'm just looking for the right guy, I guess. And if ever I'm going to have a boyfriend I want that guy to be the last." I said without looking up. I bit my tongue. I can't believe I just said that.

"She's right. I mean if ever you'll have a girlfriend or boyfriend he or she should not just be with you at the beginning, that person should stay with you til the end." Said the guy with black hair and hazelish or brownish eyes that I think is really cute. I forgot his name. Dang it.

Everyone looked at him. "That's deep, man." Thomas said. The guy with amazing eyes nodded, "Yeah, Riley. Thanks for the words of wisdom." I think his name is Brandon? Brad? I forgot okay I'm sorry?

Oh so his name is Riley.

Riley smiled, "Thanks, Braiden." Oh so his name is Braiden, now I remember. "Toby, Kate why are you guys quiet?"

Now that he said it, I started wondering too. Kate is sitted at my left while Cam's on my right. Toby is seated next to Kate.

"Huh? Oh. Uhm nothing. I just remembered some quote in a movie, that's all." Toby said

"Uh, okay? What about you, Kate? Are you okay?" Riley asked, looking really concerned.

"Uh, yeah. Of course! I just remembered-" but Thomas cut her off.

"Of course! She remembered Connor! I know you missed him already but don't worry he'll be home soon." Thomas said reassuring her.

I am so confused, "I'm sorry to ask but who's Connor?"
