EIGHTEEN

Venus walked inside, opening the door quietly, seeing Jace passed out on the couch. She sighed while smiling as she grabbed a blanket, placing it over him. Richie came inside, closing the door behind him as he smiled seeing a picture of him, Venus and Jace on the wall. Venus first wanted to get rid of it, but Jace insisted not to. Jace always did love Richie as a brother, to Jace he was like the younger brother he never had.

Venus sighed walking to her room, seeing the room messy. Looking through the closets, they looked empty. A note was on her bed as she sat down, grabbing it.

I messed up. I hope we can some day be friends, but for now the day is unknown. I hope you work things out with him. I'm sorry.

- B.

Venus smiled looking at the note. He understood. Brandon always knew somewhere deep inside, Venus still did love Richie.

Standing up she took a pair of jeans and a ruffle white top which was strapless. Slipping them on she looked at herself on the mirror. No make up, just herself being natural.

Richie did love her the most when she didn't wear make up. He thought with make up she was beautiful but without, just plain gorgeus.

She walked down the stairs with a smile on her face as she twirled, before opening her arms with a suggesting smile. "So, how do I look?" Richie turned to see her as his breath hitched. She looked absolutely gorgeus. A heart throb indeed.

"Awful." Richie said with a mischievous smirk, as Venus scoffed dropping her hands. "Of course."

Richie laughed as the two walked outside, as he swung his arms over her shoulder, pulling her close. The two talking and laughing together as the shoulder thing, moved to holding hangs unknowingly.

"So, milkshake and french fries?" Richie said raising his eyebrows as did Venus. "You always did love that combination."

Venus placed her hand on her chest where her heart would be. "Oh how adorable. Richie Tozier doesn't really have the memory of a goldfish."

"Hey, I don't!"

"Yeah, and why did you think I put the date on the bracelet?" Venus hummed, stirring the straw on her milkshake.

"You got me." He said as Venus laughed taking a sip until a boy slipped down next to her as she frowned before seeing him. "Danny!" She said smiling as he did the same.

"Guess what?" He asked as Venus urged him to continue. "Terry and Ivy are out on a.. date." He whispered as Venus gasped and hit his arm in surprise. "No way."

"Yeah way." He said before looking towards Richie. And boy did Danny notice how jealous the younger boy was, he was practically fuming with anger and jealousy.

"Danny." He said raising his eyebrows as Richie nodded. "Richie."

"Don't worry, I'm not a man who steals others girls." He said smiling as Richie nodded looking at Venus who only smiled.

"But I gotta say," He leaned forward on the table. "She's a keeper." He whispered before walking out of the diner, as he waved at Venus. Richie turned to Venus who only could laugh.

"Don't ask, wait till you meet Nathan. Only then you'll have the right to be jealous." She said smiling as did Richie. He was slowly but surely getting her back, he just knew it.
