Its Best If We Just Confess (Ryan Follese Fanfiction)

Its Best If We Just Confess - Chapter 3

Soon the yelling calmed and the voices were unheard until a low toned knock vibrated through the bedroom door of which I was propped up against.

"Mads?" Ian calls quietly

I knew one of them were gonna come check on me, that was inevitable.

"Yeah?" I respond

I hadn’t of cried while I was in there, that would've been stupid. Yes I was still mad and yes I didn't really want to talk to anyone right now. But I did.

"Are you okay?" he questioned using the same kind and soft tone

"Yeah I'm fine. Still a bit mad, but I'm fine."

"Ryan wants to talk to you, can I send him in?" he asks carefully

I sigh "Sure."

I unlock the door and Ryan enters

I sit on the end of my bed and he joins me after a moment, well I guess it was a moment. It seemed long because of the extremely awkward silence but he finally speaks because I sure as hell wasn’t gonna talk to him first "Madison I'm sorry. I shouldn’t of had pushed this so far."

"Just why do you want me to have a boyfriend? I don't want one, why is it so important for you that I do?"

"I- I don't want to tell you." He manages struggling to get words out

"What do you mean? We tell each other everything!" I start to get upset once again. "You know everything about me including everything from my past, but you can't tell me something even though it pertains to me too?" I raise my voice and stand up from the cushy bed.

"Okay, well you wanna know why?" he goes from the meek vibe he was giving off to speaking with authority

"Damn right I do"

"It's because I worry about you! I'm worried something, anything will happen to you while we're gone on tour. I can't always be here and I know that. I just wanted someone to protect you" his voice calms at the last sentence and his words leave me speechless but on the next line his voice raises again "So since you wanted to know. That’s why!" and with that he goes to leave.

"Ryan-" I stop him grabbing his arm "I can take care of myself, I'm twenty four." I reason, my words thankfully not coming out rude.

"I know that but just- I don't know." He sighs making his eyes move from the contact they had with mine

"Hey," I move so his eyes meet mine again "I am okay. Nothing bad has happened to me in a very long time, I am okay. If something does ever happen and you guys aren't here I will let you know and I will get help if needed one way or another" and I lost his eye contact again "Ryan! Look at me! Why are you being so weird about this?"

"I don't know"

"Yes you do. Tell me"

"I just, I don’t know, feel rejected I guess because I was trying to do something for you but now I know I shouldn’t have."

"I get that and its fine"

He sighs in response "Lets go do somthingggg" I pull his arm and grin. He tries being serious but cracks a smile after only a few seconds, and I drag him into the main room. Mission of not ruining the rest of the day; accomplished.

Jamie, Nash and Ian spread small smiles across their faces at the fact everything is better again and we're both back to our playful, lighthearted, selves.

"So did you guys have anything in mind for today?"

"No not really. Hoping for more of a lazy day" Nash answers me

"Shall we watch a movie then?" words of affirmation on the idea come from each boy all agreeing. After a long extensive discussion on what to watch we finally come to a decision and I pop the shiny disc into the DVD player and we all dash for the couch.

I squeeze in between Ryan and Ian, Jamie on the other side of Ryan and Nash gets the recliner off the the side. By the middle of the movie I'm leaning into Ryan with my legs across Nash's lap which I had shifted to for the goal of getting more comfortable.

"Mads my arms falling asleep" Ryan complains since I am leaning against it

"Fine, I shall switch" I lean against Nash's side and my legs go across Ryan and from there there are no more complaints. The only things said during the film are a few hilarious comments about certain things that we all chuckle at.

Once the length of the video is completed we start to goof off all getting a sudden burst of energy, guess the caffeine was kicking in full force. Jamie and I hang upside down from the couch until Jamie gets light headed and pulls himself back up, although I stay hanging. Well I do until Ryan tickles my feet that are resting on the back of the couch. With just a slight touch of his finger tips I squeal, immediately jerking my feet away and collapsing in giggles as he runs around the couch before I can get away and tickles my stomach. "Ry- Stop- Ple- no!" I try to yell words between the unbearable laughter in attempt for him to stop. Eventually my words blur into high pitched screams and Ryan backs off quickly and once the tickling stops, so does my yelling.

"What the fuck was that for!?" Ryan asks and Jamie chuckles behind him.

"Well you wouldn’t stop tickling me so my last option was to scream" I say in between large intakes of air, catching my breath.

 Ryan and Jamie pull me off the floor where I had collapsed, the amount of their strength make it so I barely have to put in effort to get back on my feet.  

"Hey guys there's a huge party next Friday, you guys want to go?" Nash asks looking up quickly from his iphone

"A party? I haven’t been to a party in almost…" I try to think back "…Two months! It's been way too long."

"Yeah well we shall party on Friday then!" Nash cheers

"Why are you planning so far ahead in advance?" I ask

"Do you realize how quickly any one of us can fill our schedules?"

"Ah that’s true" I nod "So Friday night it is!"
