look what you made me do.

Ryan nodded his head, listening as Audrina spoke. "People like to just throw labels on shit and call it a day, but sometimes it's the furthest thing from the truth. There's more than the surface," He said, taking a sip of his drink.

Audrina nodded. “Exactly. I’m full, do you want the rest of my food?” She asked him. She couldn’t eat anymore or else she’d burst.

Ryan shook his head. "You know what, yeah? I'm actually hungrier than I thought." He mused.

Audrina giggled as Ryan took her food. “Enjoy it.” She said as she watched him. He was so cute, even when he ate.

Ryan nodded his head. "Thanks." He spoke, giving her an appreciative glance before taking a bite. "Do you want a ride at least to the end of your street?" He asked. "That way you won't have to walk as far."

“Sure, that would be nice.” Audrina smiled. Once Ryan paid, she followed him out to his car. “Want to have a smoke first?” She asked him.

Ryan nodded his head, patting his jacket pocket to make sure he had cigarettes. “Sure. Do you have a lighter? Mine took a shit on the way over here and it’s dead.”

Audrina giggled. “Of course.” She said, pulling her lighter and cigarettes out. She lit one of her cigarettes before passing her lighter to Ryan.

Ryan lit his cigarette before handing the lighter back to Audrina. "Thanks," he spoke, taking a drag of his cigarette. "You know, we should probably quit."

“Why?” Audrina asked, looking over at him. “I’ll stop when or if I ever get pregnant.” She laughed slightly.

"I've just been smoking for a long ass time. Not exactly the healthiest thing in the world." Ryan laughed before taking a drag.

"There are literally worse things out there that could kill you, Ryan." Audrina said, looking over at him. "But I do see your point." She said.

Ryan nodded his head, taking another drag from his cigarette and flicking the ashes away. "You're right. Now c'mon, let's get you home. It looks like it's about to rain."

Audrina smiled and finished her cigarette. “We got to do this again sometime Ryan.” She said, as he started driving back to her house.

"We should." Ryan echoed as they drove. They reached the end of Audrina's street a few minutes later, and Ryan stopped the car. "Now go get some sleep, kid." He teased.

Audrina rolled her eyes. “Hush.” She said. She unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out but turned back to Ryan. She leaned over and kissed his cheek, “thank you.” She whispered and gave him a smile before getting out.

Ryan smiled slightly, hardly able to believe what happened. "No worries... just get yourself inside, okay?" He gave her hand a squeeze before watching her walk off, only leaving when she disappeared from view.

Audrina had snuck out plenty of times before so she was glad she was able to get back into her room without waking her brother or Paige. She changed into her pajamas before lying down in bed. She couldn't stop thinking about Ryan; he had always been the cuter of his brother's friends, but there was something about him that made Audrina want him.

Paige woke up relatively early that morning, mostly because Maggie was head butting her back to signal that she wanted to go out. A yawn left her lips and the blonde picked up her dog before heading downstairs. She opened the back door and let Maggie out before sitting at the kitchen table and lighting up her morning cigarette.
