DOVE'S POV:
Tears kept running down my cheeks as I listened to the song "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors. I really felt that way to be honest, I wanted Ryan, I wanted to hug him and be happy but no. I can't do anything to stop Thomas from hurting me, I thought he was a good guy but... Apparently I was wrong and I can't do anything to change how I feel right now and have felt for quite a while now. I made a mistake and I thought I was doing the right thing but then again... I messed up.
Why do I always mess everything up? Guess I should've thought about it before but I didn't really think it through, I just left without looking back for no reason... OK, OK maybe I did look back but I kept going, totally confident. Once I found a place for myself (which was pretty quick) I started to feel kinda bad about what I'd done...

RYAN'S POV:
Chloe... I mean... Dove moved on, I guess she did have to go, maybe it actually was my fault...
I keep thinking about her, I can't get her out of my brain and it's not that I don't like thinking about her, it just hurts to know she actually left and isn't here with me and everyone else says she's "happy" I still don't know how to feel about that. I was listening to "Whatever it Takes" by Imagine Dragons as I heard my phone ding and picked it up, it was a text from an unknown number but I think I know who it is. No, I AM a 100% sure I know who that is, the text read "Hi Ry, can I talk to you?" I frowned confused, why was she texting me? I thought she was happy with her new "angel boy" I sighed at the thought of that nickname, Chloe would never call someone that way but I left it be anyway, my phone dings once again and this time, it just read "please, Ry" I smiled at her calling me that way... I miss her so much. I think about what I'm gonna write back and end up saying "what do you wanna talk to me about?" she sends another message immediately which said "Thomas" I roll my eyes and sigh, why'd she wanna talk to me about HIM?! I end up saying "go ahead". I had to wait for like 10 minutes until she finished typing whatever she was typing.
My eyes widened as I read the text. "Whoa" was all I could think of, well that wasn't the best thing to read.
"are you okay?" I type right away, even though I know the answer to that, she replied with a "nope" I sighed. I don't like the thought of Chloe being hurt. "is there anything I can do to help?" I ask, hoping she'd say "yes" and to my surprise, that was exactly what she said, "yes" I smile slightly and type "what can I do?" hopefully, it's something easy to do but I'd do whatever it takes to make her happy. She replies with a "come here" she sends me an address and I smile, I change my clothes since I was just wearing shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt, I change into black jeans and a white sweater, which she'd bought for me before anything bad happened between us. I go downstairs thinking about her and smiling at the thought of seeing her again, I drive all the way following the directions the GPS was giving me, I finally got there and saw her at the doorstep of the building. My smile grew as she hugged me and didn't let go.
