He can be your preacher, when your soul is down.
He can be your lawyer on a witness stand,
but he'll never love you like I can."

Evan looked up at Ryder who was looking straight ahead.

"Ella wants to talk to you." He voiced, Ryder turned to look at him. The cuts were healing, but his black eye was just as prominent as his own.

"Oh, so now she wants to talk to me?"

"She didn't know it was you, don't blame her for this." He sighed. "We're best friends man, I don't want to fight you. I was scared, alright? I noticed Ella when she was only a freshmen and I thought I could just wait. You know surprise her by asking her to a dance or prom? I never expected you to notice her, let alone like her. I was scared she'd like you and I wouldn't stand a chance."

"I never took girls from you on purpose, Evan. It just happened."

"I know, Ry. I just really like her and I'm sorry it went the way it did."

"You could have just told me the truth, we're best friends."

"I know. I'm sorry." He looked at the time and then back at Ryder. "So... do you want to meet Ella at the coffee shop?"

"I guess it's about time huh."

Ella was waiting for them in a table towards the end of the shop. She looked as beautiful as ever and he felt his heart speed up when their eyes made contact. She seemed relaxed when they sat before her, but he felt extremely awkward.

"Wow, you guys are acting like you don't even know each other. Relax, I don't bite."

"Well things won't be exactly easy after your best friend steals your girl." Ryder replied, she wasn't bother in the slightest. He on the other hand was feeling immense guilt.

"I was never yours, Ryder." She corrected. "Besides, you never stood a chance. I've liked Evan since I ran into him. Stop being so bitter, you have every other girl at school dying to be with you. So you didn't get one, big deal. Seriously, fighting over a girl is ridiculous. You shouldn't let your life revolve around me."

"My life doesn't revolve around you." Ryder replied, she smirked.

"Prove it. Ask another pretty girl out on a date. A real date and don't make Evan do it for you."

"That's the last time I send him to do anything." He couldn't help, but smirk at him. "My life doesn't revolve around you, Ella. I'll go on a billion dates to prove it."

"I'm counting on it." She replied, smoothly. Ryder stood up from his chair and stuck his hand out.

"Nice to finally meet you, properly, Ella." She shook his hand.

"The same."

"Hey Steve's having a party this weekend. You going?" Ryder asked him.

"Uh... I'll see if I can."

"Cool. See you, bro." He turned to Ella, confused, while she smiled and kissed his cheek.

"What just happened?"

"I fixed your friendship, you're welcome." He shook his head. "I just challenged him and it took his mind off me. So now you guys are cool, bro." She mocked, giggling. He might have just fallen in love with her a bit.
