Mia POV:

Once we arrived at the park I ran to the swings, the sun was just starting to rise it looked so beautiful, Ryan was swinging next to me.

"I bet I can swing higher than you!" He said cockily with a huge grin

"Twenty bucks says you can't!"

We started swinging at the same time and I was obviously making it higher he looked at me with a confused face

"I told you! Haha you owe me twenty!!"

"Alright alright twenty it is"

We slowed our swinging down eventually to a full stop. I was twisting my swing slightly

" I thought we were going to talk over breakfast?" He said interrupting the peaceful silence

"We will I just want to watch the sunrise plus the cafe up the street doesn't open until five it's only four fifty"

He nodded in agreement "we should start walking then"

He got up and gestured his hand to me

We started to walk and a block in my lack of sleep hit me I was to tired to walk

"Ryan?"

"MMMMM?"

"Will you give me a piggyback ride pleaseeee"

He smiled widely and I hopped on his back.

This was great. I've been crushing on Ryan for years now he used to be friends with my brother before my brother went off to join the marines, Ryan's a senior so I never thought he'd even look my way. We finally reached the cafe and were seated to a booth handed menus and asked what to drink, I asked for hot cocoa and he asked for coffee. Once we looked our menus over I got French toast and he got pancakes

"Hey so what I needed to talk to you about..?"

"Yeah?"

"Why'd you say Michael was bad..?"

He put down his fork wiped his face and looked very sternly at me

"Before your brother left..we got into some trouble.."

"What kind of trouble..?" I was worried

"The kind you hear about on the news, that's why your brother left for the marines early..he didn't want you or anyone else to get hurt he told me to keep you safe"

"Okay what does this have to do with Michael?.." my intense worrying just got even more intensified

"...Michael was the importer and dealer of stolen drugs...we bought from him dealt to others and payed him 10%, he later on left the business trade but from what I hear he's still looking for your brother..he could be using you"

I didn't believe him one bit this all sounds like something you read about. there was no way my brother would get involved with drugs...would he? I was starting to question myself and how I could've been so oblivious when Ryan snapped me out of my thoughts

"I know this all seems crazy but it's true and I want you to stay with me for awhile just so I know your safe"

"Uh yeah sure okay..." I started to feel tears slowly roll down my cheeks I couldn't believe what I just heard there's no way any of this is true it can't be.

We started to walk back to my neighborhood I packed about two bags and we walked to Ryan's house, the town is so small that you can literally walk anywhere. My phone had been ringing since mini picked me up I just put it on silent I had 12 text 25 missed calls and 6 voice mails all from the same person. I looked at some of my notifications and the locked my phone and slid it back in my pocket. When we arrived to Ryan's house he showed me a guest bedroom that would be mine for the short term.

I called my sister letting her know I was staying at minis (complete lie) then I called mini and told her to go along. Ryan left me about 400 dollars to re decorate my room so shopping time it is! After I unpacked I had a cup of orange juice and then called mini again telling her to come over at 8. I quickly hopped in the shower, I washed and conditioned my hair and washed my body, I had started to get into my thoughts again lately I've been depressed with my brother dying and my parents abandoning my sister and I and this just makes it worse. I went shave and for a brief moment I stared at the razor thinking bad horrible things but the continued to clean myself. When I got out of the shower I decided to leave my hair natural and I did my make up with just mascara and a little eyeliner, I through my other clothes back on and waited for mini to show up.

Once mini arrived we hit up all the stores getting the essential, posters, string lights, bed set, paint, curtains, and a rug, bean bag, and vanity. Everything was black and or white and my paint choice was a light aqua blue all over with one chalk board wall. We set my room up really nice we put my bed in between my bay windows, my vanity at the end of my bed my bean bag chair in the corner my dresser in front of my bed my long mirror on the door posters here and there and my white fuzzy rug on the side of the bed. my lights wrapped around the beds frame since it was a canapé bed.

After the redecorating mini and I decided to see a movie which I honestly did not like but it wasn't boring, mini went home as well did I Ryan was still gone so I went into my room and started to blare my music at the moment I was playing family disease my oceana I was moshing around my room. My phone buzzed and I paused my music it was an unknown number so I answered thinking it could be Ryan

"Hellooooo?"

"Hey..why did you run? and why have you been ignoring me what's wrong?"

I instantly knew it was Michael I felt bad he seemed like a good kid just a bad past.

"Look I can't talk got to go bye"

I hung up as fast as I could, I was no longer in a good mood. I turned my lights off and fell asleep after setting my alarm for school tomorrow.

I shot up my Alarm ringing in my ear and Ryan just coming home? I walked out and immediately was greeted by him

"Morning sleepy!" he said happily

"Whatever." I on the other hand was not happy that he stayed out all night

"What's with you grumpy?"

I continued to make my way to the kitchen

"Come onnn I know you can't stay mad"

He ran up behind me and grabbed me by my waist and swung me around I couldn't help but giggle and smile at his silly attempt to cheer me up
