Riley's POV:
I watched her walk away and I bit my cheek.
"Damn it."
Why was I such an idiot? I moved here for a new start and I'd already ruined it. I didn't care if there were 4,000 other girls at school, I only wanted Dani. She was the only one I needed, desperately.
I had to get her back.
She was so confusing, breaking down, going crazy, pretending nothing happened. All I wanted was an explanation but I went too far.
I had to get her back.
She was right where I wanted her. She liked me. She finally liked me and I blew it. I wanted her lips on mine, driving me crazy, I wanted her back.
I needed to get her back.
I needed advice.
Turning around, I walked back to my truck.
I knew where I needed to go, it was far away but my dad wouldn't notice. He was never home anyway.
The whole trip would take me a week, tops. I'd be back in time for school, and by then I'll have a way to get Dani back.
Driving home I ran inside, packing a bag of things I may need. I was about to head out but I stopped, turning around to my dresser. Sliding the drawer open, I reached my hand down until I felt the familiar metal. I grabbed the box and pulled it out, flipping open the lid. My hands did their own thing as they shuffled through pictures until the very last one..
'Riley and Ray'
I half smiled, struggling to keep the tears out of my eyes.
"I'm coming, Ray."
My voice was in whispers though no one was listening.
I made my way back to my truck, resting the picture on the dash.
My goal was Minnesota; I had to talk to Ray.
"I'm coming."
