THE SEQUEL TO THE SOCCER BOY
please read the soccer boy first or else you will be completely lost😭
6 years later...
Riley? A student at NYU, as well as a well-respected employee at a big 5-star hotel. She's trying to get her life together and in o...
I've tried being distant. I'm done right now. I go to work, go to Amanda's for an hour to help plan a bit, and then I come home and just mope around like a little bitch but that's okay. I also got to class...sometimes. I'm trying my best to avoid mattia. It's hard. 3 days ago... Riley: I uh..I think we should take a break from each other for a while.
Mattia: w-what? why?
He said as a fresh tear fell over the dried ones on his cheeks.
Riley: we aren't good for each other.
Mattia: no Riley please...please I ca-
I closed the door behind me.
Mattias POV: The door slammed in my face. I just finished having a sob fest with her in the hallway and she leaves me hanging like THAT. I grabbed the roots of my hair in fustration, grunting in anger.
I can't, not talk to her. Which is weird because I spent 6 years avoiding her but it's different. Now that she's back into my life I've let her in a bit, and I can't just let her leave...or I can. I shut the door to my apartment and felt the hot tears stream down my face. I have no more ways I can say sorry to her...
I grabbed a cup from the counter and through it in anger, as I watched in shatter into pieces. I leaned against the counter and cried silently, and slowly. I didn't know what to do with myself...
Present: Now I'm just kinda doing my own thing? I've been texting Noah nonstop. I hope that god somewhere. He's taking me out tonight for a date, which I'm actually pretty excited about. It's a nice change because I've been so down lately. I threw my coat on and walked out the door on my way to work.
My job isn't just a diner/waitress, i work at the hotel in everything. Today I helped out a bit in dry cleaning and did some front seat work. It's a great job and I love it but it gets kinda boring ya know?
After work Noah asked to hang out now, and I said okay. So I met put on an outfit:

and walked out the door with a slight smile on my face. Mattia came out his door the same time as me, shit. We stared at each other.
Mattia: where are you going.
Riley: out.
I walked past him and pushed the button to the elevator, I walked in and waited for the doors to close, but a hand caught it. Mattia walked into the elevator with me. We stood next to each other, but I wasn't paying attention to that. I was breathing in and out, to control myself from freaking out.
Mattia: you still do that?
He wasn't serious right?
Riley: yes I still do it. I'm not sure you fully understand the concept of PTSD, and you wish Amanda didn't call the ambulance that saved my life anyways so why would you care?
