This can't be real (Chandler Riggs fan fiction)

The Crazy Ex

        I look at my phone which displays a text from Chandler. I unlock my phone, slide down the notification bar and select the coresponding notification. I read the message, which read as follows,

Hey, we should hang out. Maybe at the park off of 4th?

        Groggily I reply:

well good morning to you too. To answer your question, I would if my mom wasn't completely pissed with me. but perhaps I will ask.

I get up and see my dad on the couch. I smell alcohol but decide to wake him up anyways.

I shake him lightly and he turns over. "Dad can I go to the park with a friend?"

He sighs and finally replies, "yeah just don't be home to late, you know how your mom gets."

"Okay, thank you" I say. I send chandler a text.

Should be there in like 10 minutes

I get dressed in the usual jeans and a plain black t-shirt and the hoodie that Chandler had lent me.

He finally replies.

Okay. See you in a few.

I smile at my phone and put my hair up into a half pony tail and put my normal red bow in my hair. I then put on my foundation and mascara.

After putting on my black and gray vans, I check to see how I look in the mirror. I didn't usually care how I looked but something about Chandler made me want to care. I mess with my bangs a bit and head out.

I am later than I thought and find Chandler on the swings. I smile as I sneak up behind him. With my hands behind my back, I lean in from the side. "Why hello there my personal counselor"

He jumped a bit and I smiled. I sit on a swing next to him.

We sit I'm silence for a while. I wasn't feeling to loud. In fact I was super quiet. I look at his feet. I wondered what he was thinking about. 

"Hey Cyndal"

The sudden sound of his voice made me jump a bit. I look up to his face.

"Uh, yeah." He looks me straight in the eye.

"Please don't be scared but," my heart beat swiftened and my cheeks began to feel warmer, "I think that I am falling for you already."

"I couldn't see why" I reply moving my gaze to my shoes.

He looks towards the skyline. "Well you are cute. Like you're so beautiful but so adorable at the same time. And something in the way that you were talking to me last night just made me fall for you"

My cheeks feel even warmer and I knew that he could tell that I was blushing if I were to look at him. I keep my gaze at the ground and tighten my grip on the swing chain.

"Well I am defiantly not an easy catch, and it takes me a lot to fall in love with people. Plus I will try to push myself away from you. It always happens that way"

"Well I won't let you leave and I am glad you aren't easy to catch. All the good ones are hard to catch but they make it worth it. I can already tell that you are worth it to me"

I blush widely and my heart felt as if it were in a really hard race. I wanted to cry because I had only just met him yet I felt like I meant something.

He jumps up. "Want to go get some ice cream?" He asks holding out his hand. I look up at him and nod. I grab his hand and he helps me up. As he does I see two figures in the distance.

It wasn't until I finally saw that they were my ex boyfriend and his lousy best friend.

I hide behind Chandler, who looks back at me confused.

My ex is tall and buff. Not really ripped but not scrawny. He had dark hair and light eyes. All the girls he comes across literally bow at his feet because they "love him". His best friend was a scrawny red neck. All the girls found him creepy. They were total opposites.

"Hey babe" he says, walking closer.

I grip Chandler's shirt.

"Really babe..."

"Stop calling me that!" I say harshly looking at him from behind Chandler's shoulder.

He reaches out a hand and Chandler moves.

"Didn't you hear her? She obviously wants you to go"

"Do you know who you are talking to? I'm the infamous Tyler Woodbury, head of the basketball team and every girls best dream." He flashes a smile as if is teeth sparkled like in the cartoons.

"No one asked for an introduction idiot" I say.

He smirks. "Well I am asking for one. Who is this?"

He comes super close to chandler and I jump in between. "It doesn't matter creep."

"I won't leave you alone till you tell me."

"Stop being such a f**k boy" I reply. "Leave us alone."

"I'm sorry. Would you like to run that by me again"

I could hear him loosing his cool in his voice. I just smile. "Oh sorry did that bother you?"

"I just want to know who the little s**t is?" He shouts.

This made me want to hide again.

"I am her boyfriend." Chandler turns me and brings my face towards his chest.

"Oh really now" he comes to hit me like he had used to and his buddy yells, "its your dad man. We gotta go."

"You got lucky," he says to me. I cry a bit and pull away from Chandler's embrace.

"Thank you for what you did back there" I say. A tear falls and he wipes it away.

I pull away. "So is the offer for ice cream still on the table?"

"Of course" he says.

After ice cream he walks me home.

"Well I guess this is good night" I say

"You know that hoodie looks amazing on you"

I blush and bring my hand covered by the black fabric close to my face to cover my rosey cheeks.

He smiles.

"Hey, maybe tomorrow we can watch some movies." He suggests.

I think a moment, about to say I'll think about when he begins to walk away.

"I'll be over around noon."

Before I could reply he was gone. I just smile. I walk into my house at exactly 4:00, 4 hours after I left. My mom still flipped.

"Where have you been? I saw that boy again? You better still be a virgin or so help me god..."

"Please stop. I just went to the park and the to get ice cream. I didn't even give you a reason not to trust me. Why do you hate me?" I yell, running up to my room and slamming the door.

I call Hailey later that night and told her about the day.

"Did mom ever get this wiggy with you" I ask.

She thinks for a minute, "well I defiantly was worse than you, but no, she was never that bad at all"

I sigh. "He is just so nice.... She liked Norman. She talks about you guys a lot. I don't know what I am doing wrong."

"I doubt its you sweetie. Just try to stay positive and I want to meet this chandler when I am home for the holidays. But for now I have to go. I love you and I will talk to you soon"

"Okay, love you"
