Surviving The Devil

19. Liar Liar

CHAPTER 19: Liar Liar

I stood there silently, watching Ryan with confusion and only one thought in my mind, ‘What was he doing?’

The moment I came out of Gran’s apartment, I collided with him. He was standing there, staring at me like he was lost in deep thoughts.
Wow, deep thinking doesn’t suit you!

I was sure that my face displayed an expression full of confusion and I stood there with my hands in my pockets and swinging my body back and forth due to nervousness.

Gran and I were talking and then she started to talk about Ryan and then I told her everything that happened. About him breaking up with me, about what Ashton told me, about his idea and much more. She laughed at Ashton’s evil idea and agreed with him.
And the moment I came outside, we were talking about it as well and I was so fucking scared that he must had listen us and now he would know every single thing.

I smiled nervously and asked, “What happened?”
He narrowed his eyes with amusement and twitched his lips into a little smirk. But then he said something that made my eyes to pop out.

“I heard everything.”

“What? You heard what?” I stammered. How could he hear all that? Was he eavesdropping?
“I heard everything you and Granny were talking about.” he said in a singing tone.
“Pst, you didn’t.” I snorted.
He nodded his head and spoke, “I did.”

I looked at him with horror building up inside me. What would he do now?

“It wasn’t my idea Ryan.” I said with my face looking like a kid in front of his angry mother, totally afraid.
“Then who’s idea was it?” he asked with interest.
“It was no one’s idea.” I lied. I couldn’t tell him that Ash was the master-mind behind this plan, he was best friend after all.
“Come on Jady, spill out the bins.” he smirked, talking a step closer to me. I stepped back, watching the sudden change in his behaviour.

Okay enough. What the hell was happening to Ryan? It was like his mood was getting better and better by every passing day? What was happening? My head was spinning around with all this.

“I won’t.” I pressed my lips in a thin line and made an action of locking my lips and throwing away the key.
“Really? That was so immature.” he commented.

I shrugged my shoulder and rushed toward my door to open it and get away from Ryan as fast as I could..

Ryan’s behaviour had changed a lot since the last week. He was acting like he really wanted to talk to me and not just to do it for someone else; he wanted to talk because he felt like it. It may not be true but it sure gave me a lot of hope.

I grabbed my phone and dialled Ash’s number. It was all is fault that he made up with that idea and my foolishness that I actually agreed to do it. But if anything happens, Ryan would do more ‘harm’ to Ash as he was his best friend, so I was quite safe. Phew.

“Hello.” Ash’s sleepy voice erupted in my ears.
“You’re dead Ash. He knows everything.” I whispered.
The sound of shifting the sheets was audible before he spoke, “What? Who knows what?”
“Ryan knows about your plan.” I replied.
“Oh.” was the only reply that came from his mouth.
“What ‘oh’? He knows everything Ash, he’ll take revenge from us.” I cried out dramatically.
“Why would he do that? We’ve not done anything wrong.”
“Still, he’s Ryan, nobody knows what goes in his head.” I stated, which was a hundred and one percent true.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. I’ll take care of it.” he said distantly like he was lost in his dreams.
“Okay. And sorry to disturb you this early morning.” I apologized and after exchanging our goodbyes, I kept my phone on the table and went to get dressed for college.
