My best friends brother

25

Roe's POV:
"What the hell Ace? What are you trying to do?" I take a deep breath in about to scream. But his hand clamps over my mouth and he shushes me.

"Look I don't have a lot of time to tell you some stuff. Soon your body guard is gonna be knocking this door down. So shut up for a sec!" He said softy. I huffed and he took his hand off my mouth.

"You have 3 minutes."

"Okay Ryan is still after you. He doesn't even know that I'm back here and working here. He's crazy, I don't even know why I ever partnered up with him. Anyway, he wants you badly, and will probably do anything to get you even if that means harming some people. So I want you to be extra careful, I know you are starting school tomorrow and everything but-" I looked at him weird like he's a stalker, how does he know that school starts tomorrow.
"And no I'm not a stalker everyone knows tomorrow is school. So don't give me that look..." Guess he read my mind.
"But seriously Roe, you need rides to and from school and honestly have Andy with you all the time. Ryan may be desperate but he's not stupid. Hopefully as long as you're with Andy he will stay away, and not try anything too bad. But still be careful. And if you need any heads up or have any questions, heres my number." He gave me a number and I looked at him weird again. And if right on cue he answered me.

"I promise this isn't just a plan to get you to contact me so I get your number and everything. Remember? Ryan already has your house and cell number and we know where you live and go to school. But if you did change your cell, then call me on the house or use someone else's phone...tho I guess if you did that then you could put someone else in danger. Anyway! Be careful and keep on the look out. I have to go but I'll try and stay in touch. Goodbye Roe." He opened up the stall and walked out making sure to take the cleaning stuff her I guess brought in, probably to make it seem like he was just cleaning for his job. I washed my hands and went back to the table to see that Andy was done and had already payed for the check.

"You alright? You were in there for a while." He asked me looking concern, how am I this lucky?

"Yeah I'm fine, my stomach just hurt a little but I promise I'm okay. Thank you though." I smile at him trying to be as calm as possible, but I can't say that I wasn't scared of Ryan. After I got kidnapped I hadn't really thought about him, cause I was so caught up in my relationship with Andy and how much closer we had gotten. To be honest sometimes it just felt like a horrible nightmare.

"You done?" I heard Andy ask snapping me back into reality.

"What I'm sorry. I was just spacing out." He chuckled,

"Yeah I know, I asked if you were done eating. I already paid for the check so we can leave whenever. Unless you want to stay longer." He asked rubbing his thumb over my knuckles, I loved it when he did that, don't ask me why. I just do.

I look down at my phone and see that it's already 6:06. "No we should probably get home. I promised Amber that we would get ready around 6:30 for the bonfire." The bonfire I had completely forgotten that we were going to that. To be honest I don't really want to go, but I can't tell amber no and I really do want to see all my friends.

We got up and walked back to the his car hand in hand, and drove back to the house while we talked and admired the sun starting to go down. I love sunsets, they are way better than sunrises in my opinion. And I don't have to wake up super early to watch them.

Once we got home it was about 6:15. So I went upstairs and found Amber in my room looking through my closet.
"Ahem." I cleared my throat and she spun around with an innocent smile on her face.

"May I help you little missy?" I asked and she just smiled more.

"Since I am SUCH an AMAZING friend. I decided to pick out your outfit for tonight!" I looked down at my outfit and frowned.
