CH9- THESE NIGHTMARES ALWAYS HANG ON PAST THE DREAM

^^not Ryan related but it's a good song and I'm crying to it right now because it reminds me of my sister.

Walking down the street, a light blue house came into view and Ryan started walking faster, taking (Y/N)'s hand in one smooth movement leading her, as it began to pour rain.

Going up the steps, a door opened. Out came a lady, his mom, maybe?
She wore a sweet smile, ushering them both inside. Closing the door, she turned to Ryan kissing his forehead.

"How was school, honey?" She asked, sweetly. Damn, I wish my mom was like this.

"It was great! But I brought someone," His mom smirked, "No, not like that. She's...a friend from school." Wow, friend huh? That's nice. He grabbed (Y/N)'s hand, pulling her forward, since she had subconsciously been hiding behind Ryan.

The lady turned to face (Y/N).
"Hi hon! So sorry, I didn't see you behind Ryan. I'm Danielle Ross!" Mrs. Ross pulled (Y/N) into a hug. This is nice. It's so, comforting and...motherly.

Mrs. Ross let go of the girl. (Y/N) turned slightly and saw Ryan trying to hide a smile. Turning back to Mrs. Ross she introduced herself,

"My name is (Y/N)." Though it came out quieter than she had hoped for it to be, Mrs. Ross nodded.

"So, are you and Ryan dating?" Ryan let out a loud stretched mom, as if that would stop her. (Y/N) fought back a smile, why are you trying to smile? What's going on with you body? Why are you bringing betraying me?

"What, Ryan? I'm just curious." Mrs. Ross laughed at Ryan's embarrassment. Noticing (Y/N) forcing a frown, she gasped and smiled, "So you are dating!" This made (Y/N) frown and scramble to deny the crazy assumption. Is it really crazy though?
Ha, yeah. Who'd wanna date you?

"N-no we're not! We're just classmates." As (Y/N) said the last sentence she looked to Ryan, seeing him frown at the words 'just classmates'.

"Okayy. Are you staying for dinner, dear?" (Y/N) looked to Ryan, he was still frowning.

"Yes, mom, she is. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier, it starting raining cats and dogs."

"It's alright, now show (Y/N) the bathroom so you two can go wash."
She shooed them, walking into the kitchen grabbing plates as she went.

Ryan walked in front of (Y/N) showing her to the washroom. Why didn't he grab my hand?

"Um okay, well the bathroom is this way, go ahead and wash your hands I'll be outside." He leaned against the wall, still frowning.

"Okay, thanks." Ryan hummed, acknowledging her thank you.

Heading into the bathroom, she closed the door, and started to wash her hands, splashing some on her face. Using the towel to dry herself. She opened the door and found Ryan in the same position he was in.

"Hey, you okay?" In a blink of an eye, Ryan was in front of her, locking her eyes with his own, concern coating his chocolate brown orbs.

"Yeah, I'm good, why do you ask?"

"You almost fainted."

"Oh, I didn't realise. Um, thanks for catching me- again."

"I'll catch you as many times as I can if it means you not getting hurt." (Y/N) blushed at his kind words.

"About what I said earlier, Ryan...you're my friend too. Sorry I said you weren't, I-I just panicked."

"It's fine-"

"No! It's not, I really hurt you, I saw it in your eyes."

"I'm serious, (Y/N), it's fine." He put more force into his voice, to get his point across.

"O-okay. Sorry." She looked down in shame. Ryan looked at her hung head and sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you." (Y/N) nodded and went to head out but Ryan put his hand out, making her stop and look up to him.

"Really," He shifted his body to her, "I'm sorry." Leaning forward, he carefully put his arms around her, "C-can I?" She nodded.

He quickly, fully wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his warm embrace. She slowly put her arms around his waist, tightening her grip. (hE mOaNeD, jkjk this is wholesome)

Tears started to well up in her eyes, as he caresssed her hair, comforting her. This hug was well needed by her. She felt loved. She felt wanted.
