That summer (a wesley stromberg fan fic)

Chapter 22 Let Me Explain

RILEYS POV

I was running all the way to find Wesley with tears running down my cheeks. I don't know where he is, but I need to find him.

Running, I see Wes up by the boardwalk and I run up to him, about to tell him everything, starting with my dad, then to Ryan.

"Wesley!" I run up to him and he has his head down. I try to run up and hug him but he steps back,

"Wes?" He was looking at the ground, I don't even think he knew I was crying.

"Why did you kiss him?"

"Wesl-"

"WHO IS HE RILEY? I literally left for an hour and you've gone out kissing random guys?" He said with disappointment in his voice, looking me in the eyes now.

"Wes, I didn't kiss-"

"I SAW YOU KISS HIM!" He cut me off.

"Let me explain, please" I was crying in front of him, begging for him.

"You know what? Maybe another time" he said walking away with his head down and left me there. Alone. Crying.

WESLEYS POV

I couldn't believe Riley kissed another guy....I've never even seen him before.

I needed to talk to someone, and the only person I could think of was Keaton, because I just saw Drew and I don't want to come bother him with a girl problem while his girlfriend is in a coma....

I walk up to our house and hear Keaton in the living room with his guitar singing a song I've never heard before,

'When all else fails, all els fails,

Love will be there, love will be there,

And time will tell, time will tell, who really cares, who really cares'

"Um...is that an original?"

"Oh, umm, Ya it is"

"Ok, listen bruh, I need your help"

"What happened?"

"Well, I was walking on the beach looking for Riley because she said she would be there....and when I was looking for her I found her at the shore...kissing another guy."

Keaton looked stunned and he seat his guitar down on the couch.
"Did he kiss her, or did she kiss him?"

"I don't know, I only saw when they were lip locking...I couldn't watch it any longer than I did so I walked away"

"Did you talk to her?"

"Umm, yeah I did. She asked to explain but i told her didn't what to hear it....I don't know if I can here it"

"Well Wes, you need to let her explain, there might be more to the story than you think"

"Ya, but what if there's not? What if she chooses him over me? I can't handle that"

"Wes, go let Riley explain" he said and I got up, taking a deep breath, I got up and headed down to the beach to find her, once again.

RILEYS POV

I was sitting on a bench I found at a park I always used to come to when I was little. It was really dark and no one was here. The perfect place to cry. No one here can here me.

I was silently sobbing when I heard footsteps coming up to me, I could barely see the person, but once he got closer, I could see it was wesley.

"Um...I came to let you explain..." Wesley said and it was evident in his voice that he had been crying too.

"Just promise me one thing first" I pleaded.

"What?"

"Don't say anything until I'm done...promise?"

"Promise"
