look at Rori “ Come over at seven to help me get ready?” I see a look of shock on her face which is quickly replaced with complete elation as she squeals and hugs me. She’s talking a mile a minute about our outfits when all the sudden Ryan all but dives across the table a Liam.
Chapter Thirteen
Liam
O h man the look on Ryan’s face is priceless I can’t help but smile looking over at Gracie and Rori I shake my head, this night is going to get interesting. The way Rori and Gracie seem to be planning it’s almost as if they’re plotting something, I almost let out a laugh at the thought my smile is getting bigger, so big it’s almost a cheesy smile. When I look back at Ryan he’s pissed off, letting a little chuckle out which causes him to dive across the table at me. I was sitting far enough back that he couldn’t grab me so I scoot back a little further I hear Gracie snap “What the hell is wrong with you?” Keeping my locked on Ryan’s I wait for him to make the next move I don’t dare tell Gracie what I think’s going on Gracie looks at me when he doesn’t answer. I run my hand through my hair slowly standing up which causes Ryan to stand. “ Guys what the hell is going on?” Gracie snaps at us shaking my head again, “ Nothing Farfalla, nothing at all. I’ll see you later.” Walking off before anyone can say anything.
Ryan Watching that fuck smile at my misery just pisses me off, he doesn’t get to enjoy watching me in this situation, not anymore. “ What the fuck was that Ryan?” Gracie snaps I refuse to answer that so I just shake my head. One day she’s going to understand. “ You know what Ryan?” she just stairs at me while I stair back as I fight to keep my shit together so that I don’t snap at her. When I don’t answer “I’m done.” she walks away shaking her head. Letting out a sigh, I head to my locker grabbing -w my books and head to my car. I can’t stand this I’m writing her that letter tonight and I’ll have to find a way to give it to her, she can’t have it at school. I’m taking a huge risk with even writing it. As I pull up to my house I shoot Gracie a text,
Ryan - Won’t be at the track tonight. Gracie - WTF why not? Ryan - Well I have some shit to take care of before tonight. Gracie - Speaking of tonight, is there a reason you didn’t tell me yourself? Ryan - Well you don’t talk to me other than our projects and track… Gracie - Whatever Ryan I’ll see you tonight… Ryan - It’s a costume party… Halloween and all… Gracie - Later. Ryan - Later.
With a sigh, I get out and head into the house. Dads at his office and mom isn’t home. I’m not sure what she does during the day but I know she’s home in time to get dinner ready for me after training but dad has a trip to take this weekend and mom always goes with him so she’s probably doing last minute shopping. Walking into the kitchen I put my backpack on the table and head to the fridge. Mom left me a note.
Figlio, Had some shopping to do won’t be home until next week your father has some business to do. Money in the drawer for you if you need anything. Be safe Love Mama
Gabbing my soda I head up to my room. I can’t stand this anymore pulling out a paper I start to write.
Gracie, We’ve known each other our whole lives, when we were young it was always you, me and Liam, almost as if it was us against the world. When we were 15 things started to change. Most of it you didn’t see I think the only thing you did see was that Liam left that summer and when he came back he was different. Has been ever sense but there are other things you need to know and I think this will help you understand many other things…
Chapter Fourteen
Gracie
