Eternally Yours ~ Ryan Sitkowski MIW

Ghost In The Mirror

Ryan's P.O.V

I lay Tegan in her cot near our bed and sat on my side of the bed. How was I gonna tell Charlie that her already fucked up brother fucked another girl behind one of her best friend's back? Today was not gonna be a fun day.

I can't believe Riley done that to Angelo.. and she didn't even say it to his face. She hid herself behind a piece of paper. He deserves so much more than what he gets.. and this helped nothing. I took out my phone and took a screenshot of Riley's letter that Angelo retyped word for word in the groupchat, and sent it to Kylie.

R- Ryan
K- Kylie

R- Hey, Kylie. Angelo texted the MIW boys groupchat this morning and the screenshot I just sent is what was said. Do you know if Riley had been acting out up until now??

K- hey Ry! I just read the screenshot. Ghost had said that Angelo was upset or something but I was half asleep when he was telling. All I remember is her and Ricky glancing at each other every few seconds back a few weeks ago, before everything happened and then they both walked out of the room together. Does     Jaime know about what happened?

R- okay, thank you. No, not yet. I was actually wondering if you and the boys were still coming over later to see Tegan and what not. I thought if she were to come to, I could tell her then.

K- sounds good!

R- wait.. I have a plan.

K- what's up??

R- why doesn't everyone come around to our house later to watch the Marilyn Manson set that's gonna be on TV??

K- fuck yeah, man! I'll get the guys in on it and we'll all bring snacks and stuff.

R- that'd be great, Kylie, thank you so much!

K- no problem :)

R- aight, I gotta go, Charlie is waking up and I'm gonna try keep Tegan asleep for a while because she just got a bottle. Let me know when you guys are coming around.

K- awee look at you being all dad-like. Have fun, Ry. I'll get one of us to text you.

R- ty :)

Just as I put my phone down, Charlie opened her eyes, and slowly sat up.

End Of P.O.V

"Hey, Charles. Are you okay?" Ryan asked his girlfriend, softly. Charlie rubbed her eyes. "Yeah, I'm okay. You?" Charlie replied. Ryan nodded. "I'm alright. Tegan got her bottle and shes not asleep very long." He said. Charlie looked at Ryan.

"You didn't have to do that." She said. Ryan shrugged. "I didn't want you to wake up. You need the sleep, Charlie." He replied. Charlie smiled and wrapped her arms around Ryan. Ryan wrapped his arms around her too. He then, decided to make his move.

"Charlie, I know you just woke up, but I have something to tell you." He said. Nervousness laced his voice.

"Okay, go ahead." Charlie replied.

"When I was feeding Tegan her bottle a while ago, I got a message in the Motionless In White Boys groupchat and it wasn't good." Ryan started. "Riley up and left Angelo this morning. She cheated on him with Ricky, meaning he cheated on Jaime."

Charlie looked at him, her eyes wide and glazed over with tears. "Ry, please tell me this is a joke." She said, sternly.

Ryan tightened his grip on her. "I'm afraid it's not." He said and took out his phone and showed her Riley's letter sent by Angelo. Charlie read through it, hoping and begging that this was all fake.. but it wasn't.

"Riley was the one ruining their relationship. This is why Ricky would get all heated for no reason. Oh my fucking god.." she said, softly.

Ryan looked at her. "What do you mean?" He asked.

He knew that the answer was not going to be good. Fuck, he knew that Jaime's reaction later was not going to be good, even though she seemed to be getting better day by day since the incident had happened.

"When yourself, Chris, Angelo, Vinny and everyone else was around, say if Ricky was going out for a cigarette, if she done something as simple as asking him if he was okay, or where he was going, he'd snap back and just be really irritable with her. She always looked hurt after he would do that." Charlie explained.

Ryan's heart sank.

He felt so bad for Jaime, yet there was only so much that everyone could do with her and for her.

The best thing that anyone could do right now for her is tell her the truth and let it be done. And if Ricky got out of jail sometime soon, then it would have to become a mission to keep him away from Jaime, Tegan and Charlie.

"I know the guys are coming over later, so I'm gonna get the girls to come over too. Maybe this evening. Theres a Marilyn Manson thing that's gonna be on T.V and I set a reminder for it and for it to record. We're all gonna watch it together." Ryan explained. "I might pull Jaime aside before it starts and tell her, just to have it done and over with."

Charlie gasped. "Marilyn Manson is gonna be on TV?!!" She asked, excitedly.

You would swear that it was her first time watching Manson on the T.V.

"He sure is! A full set, too. I think it could be the Antichrist Superstar era." Ryan replied.

Charlie smiled widely.

"I haven't watched a full set of his in ages! And it's gonna be Tegan's first time watching him too! Not that she's gonna know what's going on, but hey, she needs experience." Charlie gushed.  Ryan laughed. "Jesus, Charles, calm down."

"I'm not Jesus, but hey! Close enough." Charlie said and got up.

"I wanna go get a shower, are you okay to watch Tegan for a bit? I won't be long?" Ryan asked. Charlie nodded and smiled. "Of course! Go ahead, Ry. Take your time." She replied.

"Hurry up." Ryan giggled.

"The choice is yours, don't be late." Charlie laughed and Ryan went to his wardrobe and got some clothes. He went to the bathroom, and shut the door.

When he turned around, he looked quite pale.

The amount of time that was needed to wait just to worsen Jaime's mood was insane. He did not want to be one to tell her that her ex cheated on her with one of her closest friends. Seeing how it worsened Charlie's mood for a moment had hurt to watch, but Jaime was dating Ricky.

This was not going to go down well, and everyone knew it.
