Our Happy Ending ¬ 8BitRyan x Reader

Chapter 3

I got home, out of breath from running; not knowing what to do, I started to to panic. I had been fired. I had no job and nobody to help me... Well, all but one person that I knew I could always count on, Lucy. I rushed to my phone that I had left in the kitchen, looked up her contact on WhatsApp and pressed call. i bet she won't pick up the phone, like usual. But to my surprise she immediately picked up.

"Hoiiii!" She said cheerfully , that surprised me. She was never really that happy.

"Don't speak Dutch to me." I said blankly

" Sorryyyyyy, I forgot! " she laughed

"Uh, I need your help..." I said nervously

" Oh, with what? " she asked sounding concerned

"My job." I replied simply

"No, did one of them bastards say something.... NO, your manager! I always knew he was a"

I cut her off

"Nononono NO, I got fired. "

"Nooooo!!!" She wailed sadly

" Yes. "

"Ummmm, so I am guess that you are in DESPAIR!" She said referring to our favourite anime series 'Danganronpa ' trying to lighten up the mood

"Well, yeah, kinda." I said laughing a little at her reference

"You should move over to America! Live with me! It'd be the best. We can watch anime, do cheerleading" She tempted

I cut her off again

"You know I can't stunt, jump or do even a cartwheel to save my life." 

"I could teach you, now that I am a coach!" She said enthusiastically

" No. Plus I can't move over to America, that's too far awayyyyy. " I wailed loudly

"True true." she said sighing

That's when a thought came to my mind, the guy from earlier, maybe he could help... No, I had only just met him, I couldn't just straight up say 'oh hey, I've been fired. Can you live with me to help pay the rent? ' . Maybe I could meet up with him in a park. Not today though, I had only just met him for the first time earlier. Tomorrow, I would ask him to meet up at 2ish. Was that too soon though? Would it make me sound too clingy? I'll just text him later to see if he would like to meet up, let him decide. Agh, what's happening to me? I am never like this over people! 

" OI!" Shouted Lucy from my telephone screen interrupting my thoughts

"Oops, sorry. Was deep in thought." Much more like deep sleep though. I was extremely tired after all that had happened today.

" Hmm, any juicy news?? " She asked

I told her about the guy I had met earlier that day, when I still had a job. She sounded excited to hear what she thought was a potential boyfriend. I told her how I felt about him, I thought it was me just being awkward and weird, but Lucy reckoned that it was because I had a thing for him. I for one, did not believe in love at first sight, so to me, it sounded stupid.

She told me everything about her date with her crush Dan. I realised that was the reason why she was so happy. It's weird how one person could potentially change your whole life. From someone who always seemed depressed, she now sounded like she was the happiest person alive. 

After talking to her for a little longer, she had eventually convinced me to ask the guy to meet up tomorrow. She had also told me that Dan had asked her if she would like to go on another dat someday, that was great, she had finally found her true love. I could definitely see that they were meant to be, if what she had said was true. I was her best friend, so whatever she said to me was ever exaggerated or a lie, she knew that I wouldn't judge her and vice versa. I guess that's what made us such good friends. We finished our very *cough* short *cough* call of four hours long. That's when I got up from where I was sitting and walked to my kitchen.

I made myself a hot chocolate, to cheer me up. I waited for it to cool down, that's when an other thought hit me, did I actually make a hot chocolate to remind myself of the guy, which if I did it must have been an unconscious thought, or did I just feel like having one? I didn't know the answer to that question either. I didn't know the answer to a lot of things. I looked around my kitchen, looking for a distraction. My kitchen was a pretty spacious but cosy, it had a modern look to it; it was a cosy brown, not too dark, but not too light. I realised that I hadn't turned on the lights, so I walked over to the light switch and flicked it on. I didn't want to open the blinds, I didn't like having natural sunlight when I was depressed, I didn't know why; it was just the way I was.

I walked back over to the dark brown wood worktop and picked up my drink. I drank it slowly, trying to think about something to think about, but nothing came. I gazed at the cooker clock, it read 22:45pm. Time goes quick, even when you're not having fun I thought. I walked up the stairs then lazily traipsed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before then traipsing to my bedroom. I turned of the lights and ran to my bed.

Time skip

I didn't know how long it had been, but I was still awake aimlessly thinking. I had one life, I was going to die eventually; Time goes by quick, whether you're happy or not. I need to do what makes me happy... What makes me happy? I didn't know either. It is just finding out what it is.
