"bye sweetie." my mom says and gives me a hug. i smile. "river are you ready?" i say turning to him.
"yeah let's go."
river is my bestfriend and we were currently going on a small road trip because it's summer and we both love traveling.
we got in the car and i waved to my mom as we drove out of the driveway. "so um, how's it been without your dad?" river asked.
"perfectly fine." my eyes became watery, river put his right hand out and i grabbed it.
"i'm sorry he left you guys." he said stopping at the red light. "can we just please stop talking about it?"
i turned the volume on the radio up and river sarcastically said, "i hate when you're mad at me, love me." "shut up." i laughed.
he laughed too as the light turned green.

we pulled in to a gas station to go to the bathroom and get some snacks and drinks.
when we walked in there was a group of guys looking at us. they weren't that cute, but cute.
we both went to the bathroom and when i came out river was still in there.
i was grabbing an iced tea when someone tapped my shoulder. i turned around and it was one of the guys from earlier.
"hey, how about you give me your number?"
"um, no i don't know you" i tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm, "come on. don't be like that."
"please let go of me." i say tugging.
"just let her go." river said not wanting to deal with them.
"oh yeah?" he said letting go of me and walking to river. river looked annoyed and just rolled his eyes, "yeah."
the guy pushed rivers shoulders so he tripped back. "or what?" river looked at him, then me.
i shook my head no in response, since he looked like he was gonna punch him.
river and i both didn't like violence but river would do just about anything for me as i would for him.
the guy swung at river but he just dodged it, a worker yelled, "hey! we do not tolerate any of that! you both must leave!"
river and i went back to his car and we sat there for a second. river looked pissed. he didn't speak.
"why are you so mad at me?" i ask
"because that guy was a-" he paused. "just forget it y/n."
"you're mad, i know but why is that my fault?"
"it's not." he harshly said
"then why are you mad at me!?"
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! OK? EVERYWHERE WE GO GUYS STARE AT YOU AND I GET JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE MINE. YOU SHOULD BE MINE TO KISS AND HOLD. BUT YOU'RE SO GOD DAMN BLIND Y/N OPEN YOUR EYES!" he loudly yelled at me
"riv, i- i'm sorry" i stuttered because he never yells.
he sighed. "y/n-" he began to say but i cut him off by quickly kissing him.
we pulled away and i said "riv i love you." "y/n/n i love you too."
i hug him across the middle compartment of the car and smile.
