Promise Not to Break My Little Heart or Leave Me All Alone

“Ryan, I am seriously not ready for this yet” I told him honestly

“It’s fine. I’m not in a rush. I can definitely wait for you” he smiled

“Thanks” I mutter

“So, what happened ever since I left?” he asked

“Nothing much. Just the same stuff.”

He nodded

“Can I uh, bring you home today?” he randomly asked

“O-Kay, if you want to” I tell him, feeling weird about that question

“Actually, I just wanted to know where you lived that’s why I asked you just in case you’re wondering” he laughed as he noticed my confused expression

“You could have just asked me where I lived you know”

“It’s awkward if I ask. I may look like a stalker or something”

“You’re my friend anyway” I say as I patted his head

“What am I, a dog?” he asked indecorously

“Aww, don’t be like that!” I gush

“You want to eat out with me and the guys later? So you can meet my other band mates as well. They really wanted to meet you already actually”

“Why would they want to meet me?” I laugh

“I don’t know. They’re just weird in that way. So you’re in?”

“Sure. I’d love to meet your friends”

We were disturbed when someone suddenly sat in the middle of Ryan and I. it was Brendon.

“So, what’s up? Did you guys fix whatever you needed to fix? Are you eating dinner with us?” he asked me

“Yeah, I will” I answered him weakly

“Yay! The others can meet Ryan’s girl!” Brendon screamed with excitement

“She’s not my girl, yet” Ryan said, emphasizing on the “yet”

“I shook my head and bit my lip. These boys are just too much to take in one day.

I suddenly snap out of my being happy when I realized that we stayed there for too long already

“What time is it?” I ask Ryan

“Hmm, two?”

“I have a class at two!” I exclaimed as I stood up

I ran down the stairs and immediately looked for my room. Where am I?

“Here, let me take you, what’s your next class?” I hear Ryan tell me as he grabbed my hand

“History” I mutter

“I think I know where that is” he whispered and started walking

“I can’t believe I am late” I mumble as we walk along the halls

“It’s okay, I can talk to your teacher for you.” He said as I finally see the history room

“You don’t have to. What would you say anyway? He wouldn’t listen to you or believe you”

“Wanna bet?” he smirked as he opened the door

“Morning Mr. Cohen” Ryan greeted as he opened the door.

They’re all staring again. Everyone’s heads automatically looked at Ryan then to me.

“Oh! Ryan Ross! Is that you?” my teacher exclaimed

“Yeah”

“What brings you here?” he asked

“I am just here to visit my friend, Tasha” he motioned to me

“Oh, the smart girl huh?” Mr. Cohen asked

I blush a little as Ryan grinned to me

“Yes, I am sure she is a really clever girl. I insisted that I accompany her and ask for you to excuse her for being slightly late for class. We got carried away in catching up with each other that we forgot about the time. She actually was the one who remembered it.” Ryan explained

“Oh! No, no, that’s totally fine. Besides, you were only delayed for five minutes Ms. Carson. That is completely excusable” my teacher said

“Okay then. Thank you for your consideration” I whisper and went in the classroom

Ryan grabbed my arm as I walk in and then whispered something to me

“I’ll be waiting outside Ok?” he said and then let go

I nodded to him while he waved goodbye.
