By the End of the Day

Buddy

When school started that monday morning, i was regretting everything in my life.

I saw Ryan and we made eye contact. Then we both looked away and he ran into Jessica. "Ryan!" She squealed happily and jumped into his arms. I gaged slightly and continued to watch.

This was the day Ryan had to break up with her.

"Jessie... i... look" he put her down and took her hand. "I... we... we have to break up. Its not you, its me. Really... its fucking me" he had slight tears in his eyes and jessica was standing there, horrified and shocked. "You... you can't break up with me... im Jessica Avery! We're the IT couple! Ryan! What about prom!" She screeched.

Ryan looked around for help and saw me. He had the bright idea of grabbing my arm and pulling me by his arm. "Im taking her... my... my new girlfriend"

Jessica stared at me, horrified. "I-i..." i tried to say "woah buddy, in your dreams" but it didn't come out that way. Jessica scoffed and stomped on Ryan's foot. "When my dad hears about this, the inventor of pineapple on pizza, hes not going to be happy about this!" She screams. She takes a breath, combs her hair down and walks out with a smile on her face.

Ryan sighed "maybe she was a bitch" I tried not to smile but it was to late. A small grin appeared on my face and Ryan snarled at me. "Maybe shes not the only bitch" he snapped and walked away.

I couldn't help but laugh, so i did. I lauged untill the bell for class rang. Then i ran the a bat out of hell to class.

After the last month of school, everything was fine. I had to go wedding dress shopping and we picked out the flowers right after school ended. In one week we had our graduation ceremony and got our diploma, which i was looking forward to... but it was also one week closer to the wedding.

Ryan comes over (his parents orders) to try to get to know me. He took me on small dates, we would talk, he would buy me a drink, it was all the same.

Today was no different.

Ryan knocked on our door as i walked downstairs in a plain grey t-shirt and some shorts. I opened it and smiled as kindly as i could manage with my dad standing behind me " hi ryan" my dad greeted.

Ryan smiled and took my hand. "Greetings echo, you look amazing as always" he said as he kissed my hand. I rolled my eyes as my dad smiled more.

"You kids make the cutest couple. Here, come check out the photo album ive been working on" he drags us to the kitchen where a thick book lays. I flip throught the pages, passing our baby pictures, 1st grade, 5th grade, middle school (i quickly pass over that) and our high school prom.

Ryan did take me, and not gonna lie, we had fun. He bought me food, and we danced alot.

Our prom picture came out good and i was happy with them. Our graduation pictures would be next... then our wedding pictures. Its funny how one simple thing can change your whole life.

Just a quick author note, the next chapter is of the photo album. The pictures will (hopefully) look the same. Thanks for reading this far
