This Boy Im With

Chapter26: Mom's birthday

                When I woke up I took a shower and decided on wearing black high waisted jeans, a white crop top with a cross in the middle, and my 5 inch white heels. I walk downstairs and into the kitchen.

      "Morning." Tyler greets me

   "Morning." I grab an apple and take a huge bite. "So, are there anymore secrets I need to know of?" I tease and he chuckles.

      "Nope. So you and Blake are like...."

   "We're not over, I just told him I needed space."

      "Oh."

   "That means you can't invite him over or anything. Space is space" He laughs putting his hands up defending.

     "Going to school now. See you at five cause I have football practice." He kisses my forehead and walks out.

     I grab my bag and phone and head out. On my way to my car I look up at Blake's window but don't see anyone so I get in and drive away. On my way to school, I saw a happy old couple walking down the street holding hands and smiling at each other. At times I saw the lady sneak a couple of glances a the old man and he did the same. That's when it hit me hard. What was I thinking? I should have talked it out with Blake. It wasn't his fault he could not trust me. I was a total stranger. He had a reason to not trust me. I made the situation worse by saying that I needed space.  Cause the truth is, I don't need space, especially when I'm with Blake. I get out of the car and make my way up to the school building. I walk to my locker and put my books in along with my school bag. I have P.E. first period. Awesome. As I'm walking to the gym I bump into a hard chest. When I look up to see who it was I smiled widely.

       "Jason."

    "Riley, hey what's up."

         "nothing, I have P.E. first period. Its all the way across the building so I am heading now before the bell rings."

      "Really, I've been trying to find the gym for like 10 minutes now." he smiles. After talking for a bit we agree on walking together to P.E. When we get there we go our separate ways. I spot Olivia in a corner practicing her cheer. Olivia is the captain of the chearleading squad. When she notices me she smiles and stands up from her position on the floor.

   "Hey." She greets me.

      "Hey."

  "So....today."

      "What? Don't worry you can say it. Today, yes my mom's birthday." I say stretching. Coach Dallas is probably making us run like twenty laps today.

    "Right. So what are you going to do?" She gets down and does a split. Show off. But whatever I can still do a back flip and then a front one at the same time and she can't do it.

 

       "I don't know probably watch movies all day whilst eating ice cream with Tyler. You should come."

            "Yeah sure. Can I stay over?" She asks.

                    "Of course." When Coach Dallas comes she makes everyone do 10 laps but since Olivia and I kept taking breaks when we're not supposed to and complaining, she made us do fifteen laps. Olivia is a cheerleader she shouldn't be complaining when she has to do more laps during practice. Even though she is the captain she still does the laps and everything cause if she doesn't she will think its unfair, especially for the girls.

   When I arrive home I tell Olivia to go inside while I talk things out with Blake. I walk up the stairs of his house and I ring the bell. After waiting patiently, the door finally opens and there stands a  tall, skinny, brunette. She looks at me like I have 3 heads before speaking.

      "If your looking for Blake he isn't in the mood for talking. So if I were you, Molly, I would leave." Molly?

    "Im, Riley?" I say sounding more like a question. Her eyes widen and she moves aside so I can come in.

           "Im so sorry, I thought you were Molly . I'm Sophia, Blake's cousin. I've heard so much about you."

   "Hi. Umm...is Blake here, I really need to talk to him."

         "He's in his room." I thank her and make my way up to his room. I knock on his door once and hear 'come in' right after.

    "Hey. Can we talk?" He gets up from where he was laying down and his eyes are red shot and his face is puffy. He was crying.

    "Hey. what are you doing here?" he stands in front of me."

        " I came to say that I'm sorry." He gives me a curious look. "I should have been there for you.  And I don't blame you for not trusting me, I was a stranger. You didn't know me.So you had a reason to lie. I forgive you and I am also sorry." He comes closer and pulls me into a tight hug.

     "Its ok. And im also sooo sorry. I just... im sorry." I pull away and look at him. "Are you going to come back here? Or stay with Tyler?" I knew he would ask that. I sigh and look to the floor.

    

   "I think it's best if I stay with Ty. I need to pack the rest of my stuff. Can you help me?" He kisses my cheek before agreeing to help me pack. When we finished packing everything and taking it back to my house, it was already 5 which meant Ty was home already. The rest of the day, Blake, Olivia, Tyler, and I watched movies and talked to celebrate mom's birthday. I excused myself a minute before 12 and went out to the backyard to wish my mom a happy birthday.
