We Are Out Of Each Others Leagues

Chapter Nine

Riley's Pov:

I woke up when the truck stopped and I see we are at my mom's house. I take the earphones out of my ears and just when I do. Chad goes on and on about how many girls he and Mason are gonna hook up with this summer. It felt like a knife to my heart hearing this. Especially when Mason agreed with him. I look at him and I felt the tears forming in my eyes. That really hurts. The other night in my room meant nothing to him. I shook my head while I unbuckle myself. I get out of the truck and see my mom making her way to the truck. I run up to her and I hug her tight.

"Mom." I said half out of breath.

"Oh, baby girl. I missed you so much." She says hugging me just as tight. Tears escape my eyes. Not just cause I'm glad to see her but also cause my heart was hurting badly.

"I missed you too." I say my voice cracking up with the tears running down my face.

She holds my face in her hands and wiped the tears away.

"Don't cry baby girl." She says and she hugs me again.

"I'm just glad to see you mom."

Chad comes when my lets me go and she smiles at him holding me on my shoulders. She pulls him close and hugs both of us.

"I'm glad to see both of you. I missed you both very much." 

"Missed you too mom." Chad says.

She lets us go and I wiped the tears away. 

"Lets go get some coffee." she says. I nod and Chad nods.

"Oh hi Mason." she says to him and gives him a hug too. 

"Hi Ava." Mason says hugging my mom back.

"Mom. Mason and I will just offload the truck then we will join you and Ri in the kitchen." Chad says.

My mom nods and she takes my hand and we went inside to the kitchen. She puts the kettle on while Mason and Chad offload the truck. She makes us all some coffee.

I sit at the island and stare at my hands flinging my fingers with each other. 

"Is something wrong baby girl?" she says handing me a cup. 

"It's... Nothing mom." she goes back to the counter and she gets her cup. She leaves Mason and Chad's cups at the counter by the kettle. 

My mom sits next to me at the island. My hands were shaking and I feel my eyes filling up with tears again. She takes my hands in hers and I look up to her. 

"Talk to me. What's the matter dear?"

I look to the door and I sighed. I look back down to our hands. 

"Chad and Mason are still outside. You can tell me." 

"It's a boy...."

"Tell me." 

"I'm in love with this boy... But I think he's playing me...." I said and the tears comes down my face. I take a breath in and spoke up again. "Gosh.... I want him so bad and he doesn't... He doesn't want me back... And it hurts.... It hurts so bad..." I said and she gets up from her chair. She hugs me tight. And I hold her on her waist and I just cried. 

"Baby girl. If he is playing with you and your feelings. Then he isn't worth holding on to. Let him go. There are plenty of guys out there who would do anything to be with you. You're a beautiful young girl and you deserve to be happy. Don't hold onto someone who doesn't love you. Let him go and find someone better." 

I hold her tight while I let the tears just come out. I cried like a baby into her mother's arms. My mom kisses my forehead and she keeps holding me while I cry it out. 

After a while I let her go and stare into her eyes.

"Thanks mom. I needed that." I say and she wipes the tears away.

I take my coffee and wiped the rest of the tears away and she sits back down. Just then Mason and Chad comes into the kitchen. 

"Mom. Can Mason and I invite two girls over later?" Chad asks.

"What girls?" she turns her attention to them. 

"Just these girls we met online." Chad says and he looks to Mason. Mason nods and Chad look back to my mom. 

"I'm going to my room." I said and I take my coffee and downed it. I get up and put the mug in the sink and walk to the door.

"Chad just hold on." she says.

"Riley. If you need me I'm here for you." she says. I look back at her and just slightly nod and give half a smile to her. 

I turn around and walk out of the kitchen. I didn't want to hear my brother and Mason go on about the girls they want to come over. 

I get in my room and I closed the door. I get my suitcase to start unpacking. As I unpack I get the bottle of wine I snag into my bag from my dad's collection. It was one of the wines he makes himself. I went to my table and put some music on. I opened the bottle of wine. The song playing was Bebe Rexha I'm a mess. I put the bottle wine down at first and unpack my things and put it in my closet. The songs stops and the next song starts playing. Bebe Rexha I can't stop drinking about you. I'm in love with her music. I sit at my table listening to the song. I take the bottle of wine and I start drinking. I just kept drinking out of the bottle till there was nothing left. Now my dad's wines wasn't a light one. It was strong. I downed the last bit of it and my head starts spinning. I was drunk way over my head. I sat down at my bed and I lie my head back on the rail a bit holding the bottle of wine slightly in my hand. Next moment I fell to the floor and the bottle rolls over to the door.
