Try To Keep The Pace

"I'm going to prove them wrong!"

"She was reckless again."Max shook her head. "She's good now. You should give her a call."Max added. I will soon. I nodded. Grace stood up from her place with her phone in her hand. The next moment Grace was in a hallway with Max close behind her.

"It was good talking with you again Ry. And it was nice meeting you Dani. Please take care of our little girl."Grace said sweetly yo Dani. Dani smiled and nodded.

"More like she takes care of me." Awwwwwww~! Can she be even cuter?! My heart hurts because of her cuteness! Okay that was a really really really bad joke. Tho Sky would laugh at it anyway. 

"Awww."Grace cooed. "You better take care of that cutie!"she said strictly to me. I laughed awkwardly. 

"Hey! Your cutie is stealing my cutie!"Max exclaimed jealously which made everyone laugh and made some head turn behind them. I took a quick glance to Dani to see how she reacts to be called mine. I wasn't disappointed. Dani was completely red! This is officially bad for my health! 

"It's not my fault she's cute!"I said back and pretty much regretted it. Both Grace and Max stopped in their tracks, looked at each other before bursting out laughing like maniacs. Dani,at this point looked like blood wasn't under her skin,but rather on her cheeks. She was rose red. And she was a beautiful rose in my eyes.

 Suddenly Dani stood up,not meeting my eyes as she excused herself to the bathroom.  After she left the room Max and Grace stopped laughing.

"Ry,look,I'm telling you only once."Max started dead seriously. I bet it will be about keeping her safe, not wasting any chance I get with her, to not be afraid, to be a real gentlewoman with her and blah blah blah. "Be careful." I stared at Max wide eyed. What? Max sighed at my confused expression. "There's something about her..."Max pulled her lips into a tight line. "just be careful, okay?"

"Wait! I don't understand. She's really nice. Totally not a bad person." They both sighed.

"Ry,do you remember Alissa and Tina?" Grace asked me. Alissa is Grace's cousin with who I met like four times. The first two times she was alone,the third time she was with her "girlfriend" Tina. At first she seemed cool,but I had a bad feeling about her. The way her eyes shifted from different places and the way her brows moved, worried me and Grace very much. After two weeks or so Alissa showed up at Grace's house while I was over there. She was a mess. Tina dumped her after she cheated on her with two other person. It was never confirmed that she slept with just girls or boys which made her an even bigger slut in my eyes. 

"Yes, I do."I said and I felt anger build up in me,because I knew where this was going. "But she's not Tina! She's completely different!" I nearly shouted at them,but the thought of Dani being in the other room made me hold myself back. Not to mention that I didn't want to be a bitch to Max and Grace.

"Riley,we aren't saying that she is."Max said calmly. As I was about to protest again Grace snapped at me.

"For fucks sake! We just want to protect you! You know shit about love!"She shouted at me and that surprised both me and Max. "It was enough for me to see Alissa like that! She moved on and all because that wasn't her first heartbreak, but you aren't her! And neither is she Tina!" Grace inhaled and then exhaled. "I might be wrong. I'm not saying I'm right." she said this time more calmly. "I just don't want to see you hurt."Grace repeated herself this time looking somewhere behind the phone's camera. Max suddenly snatched the phone out of Grace's hand.

"Okay,soooooooo...just be careful and now we will finally go to do some actual work,because sadly we don't get paid to do nothing."Max said to me. "And before it could get uglier."she murmured the last part mostly to herself but I heard it too. I just nodded and we bid our goodbyes. After the phone's screen went black I lied on my back on my bed. Grace's outburst was sudden but not new. Even tho Max seems the hotheaded one, Grace is the one who's ready to bite down your head after a wrong word. But it's really hard to bring that part of her out,you gotta really upset her. About Max,she was really upset too. If she gets really upset or mad she gets all serious, even calm. Seriously, a calm Max is much scarier than 10 angry one. I understand that they are only caring about me. They are really great friends. Now I kinda hate myself for my outburst. I did the same with Madison and I'm pretty sure I will do the same with dad when I'll see him. And I'm pretty sure that I will hate myself afterwards because he only wants the best for me as well. I feel like an ungrateful shit right now. And ungrateful shit, that shouldn't even deserve to be pooped in a toilet! One that shouldn't be looked back at!

Even mom would be disappointed in me. 

 Tears started to run down my face. I hate myself at times like these. And I hate that I'm all alone. Wait, I'm not all alone right now! I'm going to prove them wrong! I'm going to show them that Dani is different! Just as the thought came into my mind my bedroom door opened. Dani came back and stared at me confused an surprised. I whipped my tears away with the back of my hand. 

"I...umm...I should go now..."she said and quickly grabbed her bag from my beanbag and walked out of room. I was stunned. I didn't know what to feel. I was brought out of my daze by the closing of the front door. I was alone again and that only made me cry harder. 

Why am I like this?

Why am I always alone?

Why am I so fuck-

"Whoa! Are you okay?"

Yo! Guess who's back? Not Dani,obviously lol

Here's the chapter as I promised yesterday. As I said yesterday there was a family reunion was at our house. They left around 6 or 7 pm so if I didn't have any other thing to do I would have updated yesterday. But that didn't happen. My best friend came over and my sister took us to the little festival that was nearby. So we went there just to see the fireworks and so that maybe I could buy some cool bracelets. There weren't any good ones :/

So the three of us watched the fireworks...and I saw a lot of couples...and that made me realize how lonely I am sometimes lol

So I kinda made myself a goal. I want to watch the fireworks with someone special. And I don't mean family. Special as in I...I can't express myself...as in someone who would lay their head on my shoulder while watching the fireworks or something like that.

Anyway. I want to say thank you for the last A/N comments because they helped me a big time and now I kinda have the story worked out in my head :3

So now here are the funfacts!

Fun fact for today:Mos of my ideas hit me while I'm sleeping or when I'm doing activities where I just do things and not really think. (ex:listening to music,plum picking)

Another fun fact:I have like 5 other wattpad XD There are only covers and kinda the idea what they are about. I don't even know what will happen to them,considering the fact that I've been planning on writing one of them for a year and half now lmao

Again,thank you for reading! Now! I'm going to play some osu because I'm getting out of practice lol

See ya! :3
