Please, Come Here

Don't Drown

I woke up with a pounding headache and looked over at the clock. 2:50 in the afternoon?! 

Why the hell did he let me sleep so long?

I tried to remember what happened after Ryder left me to go change his shirt but I couldn't. I honestly probably just fell asleep. I decided to text Ryder and ask him why he let me sleep so long even though he was in the house.

E: Ryyyyder wtf why'd you let me sleep so late?

R: um idk i figured you needed it.. get dressed and come downstairs.

Why are guys so brainless like seriously? Well, I guess I would've gotten angry if he did wake me up, but that's not the point. And why is he making me get dressed, like what could be so important so early in the morning, oh wait its late afternoon because of Ryder. God, I despise him sometimes.

I threw on a white sweatshirt and leggings. Then I brushed my hair and wiped off my ruined makeup from the night before. I walked downstairs surprised not to see Layla sitting on the couch. Ryder was leaned up against the wall texting on his phone. 

Is he ever not on that thing?

"Why did I get dressed again?" I asked crossing my arms and rolling my eyes at him when he looked up from his phone.

"Because we're going somewhere." He said copying my pose and rolling his eyes at me.

Where could we be going on a Saturday afternoon? Saturdays are for relaxing, sleeping, and eating.

"Where?" I said walking over to put my shoes on secretly angry I couldn't watch all of the hunger games and eat food all day.

"It's a secret." Ryder said unlocking the door.

"Can I get some food though? I'm starving." I said as I realized how empty my stomach felt.

"Oh, yea here." He said walking over and grabbing a pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich off of the coffee table. "My bad I forgot." 

I took the sandwich from him and immediately started eating. Dang, this is good.

"Thank you."  I said after swallowing. 

"Come on you can eat in the car!" He said grabbing my arm and pulling me out of his house.

"You sound like a little kid." 

"You're as tall as a little kid."

Curse my shortness.

"Get in shorty." He said as we reached his car and he walked around to the other side of the car.

"Not until you tell me where we're going." I said while crossing my arms.

"Just trust me, it's somewhere special okay? Now get in." He said as he got in the car.

I decided not to argue anymore so I got in the car and he started driving. I finished eating my sandwich and decided to ask him what happened after he went to change his shirt. 

"Ryder?"

"Uh huh?" He said without taking his bright green eyes off of the road. 

"Did anything happen after you left to change your shirt last night?"

"Um. Nope." If I wasn't mistaken I think I saw the tiniest blush form on his cheeks. So of course, i did what I always do. I teased him.

"Is the big bad boy blushing?" I said in a taunting voice and pinched his cheek.

"Em, can you just act like a normal 16 year old for one day?"

"Nope." I giggled and went on my phone.
