Ryan Ross -Leaving It Behind

Chapter 15

                                    I shifted in the car seat uncomfortably with an over whelming desire to rip the bandanna that covered my eyes off of my face. "Were almost there." Ryan whispered, I could tell he was smiling. Brendon blared the music and I could feel the weight shift around from his dancing, Spencer was driving while Ryan was in the passenger seat and I was in the back with Brendon. "Can you just tell me where we are going now?" I groaned as we hit a small bump lurching me slightly forward, a hand pressed against my shoulder. "Brendon make sure she doesn't fall over!" Ryan called over the music and released his grip. I laughed at my own clumsiness

I wonder why Ryan didn't sit in the backseat with me?

I shrugged at my own thought as I rocked back and forth from anticipation, the car halted to a stop as the music was turned down. "Alright we are HERE!" Brendon yelled un-clicking my seat belt and leading me out of the car. Ryan stood behind me softly pushing me forward and pulled my shirt to stop, the bandanna was pulled off as I let my vision wonder. "Surprise! Cliff diving!" Brendon smiled. "I don't have my swimsuit?" I asked looking around at the gorgeous scenery.  Ryan handed me a bag and nodded towards the car. "You can change behind it, i'll make sure they don't go over there." "Oh? And what if you do?" I snickered but Ryan slightly blushed and looked down. "I wouldn't." He whispered and walked off, he looked like a little puppy whenever he did that. I changed into my swimsuit and walked over as they were chugging down a beer they brought. "Do you like it?" Spencer asked handing me when as I shook my head. "No thanks, and yes it's so pretty here!" Spencer nodded, I could tell maybe this was his idea. I smiled looking over the edge feeling a bit horrified at the fact I was so high up. "You'll be fine." Ryan walked up behind me with a smile. "I won't let you get hurt." He reassured me which only made it worse, SO I CAN GET HURT FROM HERE? I glanced back down, I felt a slight push and fell over as I let out a scream before hitting the water. I come back up and tried to stare up and see who it was. "RYAN! YOU ASS!" I screamed trying to hold in my laughter. I could hear a slight laugh from him as he disappeared away from the edge. "How do I get back up?" I looked around feeling the cool water splash around me. "HERE I GO!" I glance back up and see Ryan jump over the edge and land a few feet from me with a big splash. He came back up and shook his head and water splashed from his hair. I let out a laugh as he glanced at me with a smile. "Feels great!" He swam over and stopped as we looked around. "How do you go back up?" I asked looking at all the trails. "Hmmm...." He looked around questioningly. "Usually Brendon knows the trail, I guess we have to wait for him to jump in." Ryan shrugged dunking himself back under water.

                              We swam out a little bit waiting for the father figure Brendon to hurry and jump in. "Who knew about this place?" I felt out of breath from swimming so much. "Mm, we all used to come here when we were younger with my dad and Brendon's uncle, it was pretty sweet place to hang out and have a few parties." I nodded stopping and looking around, it really was pretty around. Ryan scooped my legs out of the water and smiled. "Ready?" I nodded sucking in a breath as he dunked us both under water. I held onto his neck as we tried to open our eyes underwater but failed miserably. We came back up shortly after sucking in another breath, he didn't let me go so I kept my arms around his neck to make sure I don't drown. I smirked thinking of the news article outcome if I did. 'girl get's surprised and ends up dying by drowning' Tragic. Brendon jumped in along with Spencer shortly after. "You two seem cozy." Spencer teased as I shrugged. "i'm exhausted and he's helping me out." "Suuure." Spencer nodded. "This water is seriously freezing now." Brendon whined walking over to a random trail.

                                      I fell asleep in the car almost immediately, I tried calling shotgun but Brendon beat me to it as Spencer drove and I sat with Ryan. I fell asleep on Ryan's shoulder, I mean he offered and I didn't wanna be bumping against the car window. The car ride was long and it was already late when I woke back up. Ryan carried me in and set me down gently on the bed as I looked around confused. "We're home." He whispered dragging a blanket over me as I tried to sit up. "I have to shower." I yawned stretching. "Just take one tomorrow?" He set my bag down and glanced back at me one last time before opening the door. "Good night." I nodded and yawned again. "Night." He shut the door as I pulled my phone out. //Just got home, it was fun// I texted Emily and got up. //That's good, any change?// //Change?// I replied. //I mean with you and lover boy?// I rolled my eyes. //It isn't like that.// It isn't like that, seriously. //I see the way you look at him ;)// I slipped off my damp clothes and slipped on different ones. //He's hot but that's all, he's sweet and all but I don't know him that well// I answered and started to brush my hair. //That doesn't mean you can't like him... He seems to enjoy your presence though, just don't screw it up// //I'm not looking for a relationship right now Emily :p// //Yeah yeah, good night girly<3// I set my phone down walking over to my dresser. I looked around trying to find the little square box I kept hidden for awhile. I did grab it didn't I? I looked around the room. There is no way I forgot to grab my parents necklace? I tore my room apart trying to find it and came to the conclusion that I must have forgotten it at my other house. I walked over and texted Emily. //Alright, problem.//
