Two Is Better Than One

~* Adam's Memory Of The Past ~*

" I know where Ria is" the voice said again only this thing Adam let go of Lenny and turned to stare at the pretty girl that stopped him from inflicting pain.

The sound of her name caused him to shake and his lungs tighten once more. His bodily system seemed to be failing him.

" where? he mumbled

the girl's bathroom" she took his hand pulled him in her direction.

" ummm who are you" he asked as he followed her.

" oh am Shae a friend of Ria's" she answered as she pulled a lock of hair behind her ears. Shae was a clear definition of natural beauty, one that made her an African Empress. Her rich cocoa butter skin was a sight to behold but Adams eyes were glued to her hair. She was a dreadlock. It was different but beautiful. It flowed down to her back and highlighted her cherubic face. She reminded him of Ria. He found an unexplainable comfort just being in her presence.

" what do I say to her." Adam asked afraid to think of an outcome that resulted in the absence of Ria.

" Adam... Ria is madly in love with you..you guys possess something that is simply beautiful.. Something that is not possible for teenagers to possess." She flashed Adam a hundred watt smile.

Adam felt a strange warmth but really appreciated it. He needed to be reassured that whatever was going on with Ria had nothing to do with her love for him. He couldn't deal with Ria not loving him.

"Then what is it...she tells me everything and I am clueless..."

"yea she does" she laughed out well she talks to me about things she can't tell you like Allie"

Adam froze at the sound of Allie's name .Why was Ria so sad and hurt? Had Allie done something to her. If Allie had caused Ria to hurt she was gonna pay. No matter how close they were he would without a doubt give Allie what was coming like anyone else who intentional tried to his hurt baby.

" shes been giving Ria a hard time and Ria believes she is the one for you." Shae gripped his hand. As Adam shook his head in disbelief" Ria doesnt think she is worthy of your love"

"what?!"Adam whispered

" yeah so she leaving because she wants you to be happy"

" what" Adam was out of words.

There Ria went again, placing the world on her shoulder, depriving herself, so other could have. A trait Adam loved, but Ria had to stop. She had to stop putting her life on hold especially where Adam was concerned. He wasn't leaving, couldnt leave and would suffered if he did. Ria was his source of happiness that no one else on the face of this earth could possibly provide. He had girls ready to sell themselves short just to make him happy but Ria was enough. His eyes became watery just at the thought of Ria being unworthy of his love. It made him feel crippled emotionally. If anyone one was unworthy of Ria's pure love it was him.

" adam !" Shae tried to warn him. He entered the bathroom only to find Ria , showing no regards to any other girls who wanted their privacy. Luckily the bathroom was empty. It only had the one girl that he wanted to see, to touch and reassure that she was enough.

Ria was laying on the cold white tiles in the bathroom. Her knees pulled up to her chest and her body crouched onto a ball. She was shaking so hard that Adam thought that the room would suddenly crumble to the ground. He rushed over and sat next her. Adam rests his back against the post that supported the bathroom stall and eased his baby unto his chest. He could feel her tears soaking into his shirt.

"Adam I can't do this" Ria cried. " can't give you up..I know you deserve Allie but I can't Adam I can't ...."

" you don't have to Ria..you don't have to give me up cuz I love you more than anything this world as to offer" he stared down at Ria who tighten her hands around his waist.

" Ria O'conner it will always be you. I love you now and will forever love you, not Allie. You need to understand that my existence is solely base on God and you"

" Adam I can't..you deserve more than an ordinary converse loving girl..I am not her."

" whose say I want her. I am quite fine with ma extraordinary converse loving girl" he laughed out.

" I love you soo much" Ria stared up at his face."

Adam felt relieved his baby,his Ria still loved him.

" please don't and swear to me Ri that you will never ever assume you are unworthy and end us. Let death do that ok"

" I swear"
