Riley's pov

We pick up the poster reveling "I wanna f- no I mean will you gout out with me? -Johnsonnnnn" Gabbi nods smiling "so it's a date?" Johnson asks her. "Yes. When?" "Tomorrow night 6:00. Don't ask where we're going." I feel arms around my waist. "Matthew?" I ask smiling. "How'd you know?" He asks chuckling. "Well it was either you my brother or a stranger. And I was hoping that it wasn't a stranger." He smiles and takes my hand. I look around to see if Taylor had set up the blanket yet. He hasn't. Of course. I walk over letting go of Matt's hand. "TAYLOR MICHAEL" I tell getting his attention. "Yes?" I pick up the blanket. "Help me." He nods picking up the other side. We slowly lay it down and I grab Matt's hand pulling him over. I lay down waiting for him to lay with me...he doesn't. He walks away. He walks toward Jacob..? I thought that they were fighting. I reach into Matt's bag grabbing his sweatshirt. Throwing it on, looking in the sky, just waiting. The fireworks start and still no Matt. I text him where he is.
R: are you coming to sit with me or..?
M: sorry baby can I stay with Jacob?
I roll my eyes.
R: yeah..whatever..i don't care.
After that I didn't get a response. I take his sweatshirt off throwing it into his bag. I get up sitting on top of the brick behind where we were. I look up at the exploding fireworks sighing. I look around seeing couples thinking 'that should be me'. But it's not. So give it up Riley. Just give it up. I getting a message from Matt in the group chat with all the boys and mahogany.
M: does anyone know where Riley is?
T: I thought she was with you
M: no I stayed with Jack and Gabbi
A: uhm she's not by us.
JG: there's an empty blanket by where I am.
I sigh turning my phone not caring. I hear a couple dings ignoring it, I get down from my spot. I slowly get Taylor's hoodie. Returning from I my spot on the mini brick wall throwing the hoodie on looking down at my hands I hear a faint voice. "Riley?" Sounds like Matt. "What do you want?" I ask. "Are you okay?" he asks quietly "yeah I'm just fine." I say with no emotion.
