The beach {RJP fanfiction}

"River? Are you okay?"

I got comfortable in my tree and realized I didn't look at the time before I got here. I looked at my wrist 10:20am. Well shit, now I have to wait like 3 hours. Eh I guess I'll just practice on my song and draw something.

Two hours passed and I was beyond bored. I looked at the calming waves and heard the swaying of the leaves against the wind. I spaced out completely. Maybe that explains the reason why I like home school a little better then public school. I was always getting bad grades because of living with my mom and her druggie friends and my wack hormones causing me to be sad.

Not to mention the lack of sleep I got because of my mom's dumbass friends sleeping in my bed. Plus mom's old abusive boyfriend and her always fought, at night mostly. Everybodys got it rough so it's not my place to complain or some shit.

"Roxy! You here? It's River!" Riv yelled as I snapped out of my thoughts. I got out of my tree and ran up to River then hugged him tight. "Hi," I said in a quiet voice. "Hey," River said in a equally quiet tone. As I hugged him I felt something big on Rivers back, I slide my hand upwards and heard a sound of a guitar being strummed slightly.

"Oh, it's a guitar!" I exclaimed and pulled out of the hug with a smile on my face. "Sure is! Do you want me to play you something?" River asked, I could hear the excitement in his voice. "Yes!" I shouted. River chuckled and sat down criss-cross on the sand and got his guitar from behind him. I sat the same way and put my elbows on my knees and layed my head on my hands.

(I wanna say again that these songs are indeed NOT mine. I felt that they kindaaa went with the story. Mkay bye🤠.)

"I was scared of dentists and the dark. I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations..." As River sang on I felt as though I was in a trance. His voice was so perfect in it's own way that words can not explain.

River finished and put his guitar to the side. Before he had a chance to look up at me I was already hugging him. My face in the nook of his neck. Unexpectedly a hot tear ran down my cheek sliding its way to Rivs shoulder. I wiped it quickly before it touched. I dont really know why that tear came. Possibly because I felt that was the last time I'd ever hear something as beautiful as Rivers voice.

River kissed my lower cheek and pulled out of the hug. "So... Did you like it?" Riv asked with not much confidence. I was confused why, it was a truly great song. "Like it? I loved it River. Your voice is like an angel," I blurted. I didnt mean to say the last part but... It's true.
"Thank you love."
"Love?"
"Yes?"

I chuckled and told myself to think none of it. Could he love me? We haven't known each other that long at all. But I dont think love has a time limit. I'm thinking too far into it, as always.

"You got something you wanna play for me?" River asked pointing at my guitar in the tree. I bit the inside of my lip and took a - quiet - deep breath. "Yes I do," I grinned hiding how nervous I was. I got up and walked to the tree to get my guitar. I came back to River and he had a grin like a child when they get candy.

I rolled my eyes playfully and sat down criss-cross in front of River again. "Mind you, it's really not that good-" "shh I dont wanna hear anymore unless it's the guitar" River interrupted before I could get anymore negative words out. I bit my cheek and nodded, more to myself.

"I wanna be alone. Alone with you, does that make sense? I wanna steal your soul, and hide you in my treasure chest. I don't know what to do, to do with your kiss on my *lips..." As I sang on I got more and more comfortable.

*Rivers pov*

Every word that she sang I looked into, and tried to find the meaning of. I realized most of what she meant. She wants me to be all hers, and in our case, doesn't want me to leave. It shattered me to even think of leaving her. But to actually leave her, well I dont know.

She finished and looked up at me with cherry red cheeks. I don't know how to react because I'm happy and sad at the same time. I felt bad, but I gave her a blank expression. I don't know what to feel, think, or do. I tried to smile to reassure Roxy of how much I really did love the song but it turned into a frown.

"River? Are you okay? Was it really that bad?" Roxy questioned seeming hurt and concerned. She sat her guitar down and I hugged her. I didn't want to speak because I had no words, and I didnt want Roxy doubting herself anymore.

Thankfully Roxy didnt say anything, like she understood somehow but at the same time she was confused. It's like she knew when people wanted questions or comfort. I love that. I love her. I love us.
