You Are Mine
One
Damnit! I can't believe it. I did the one thing I promised myself I would never do. Fall for him. I knew it would end badly. I knew it would end in tears, just like I am at this moment in time. I gave him my heart only to have it ripped out, stomped on and then ripped more. He doesn't even care. Even though before, he said he did. Yeah, right. He was to busy getting it on with the fake bitch of a girl to ever care. The worst part, I still have to see him; gay, dumb skating competitions. I'm only 16, I don't need this crap.

"Aubrey, honey, you ready to go?" my mom asks from outside. No I wasn't. I didn't want to go to this competition. It's been a month since I left California. I haven't seen him since.
"Yeah, sure." I say. I grab my skateboard and my bag, and then head out the door to the car.
"Aubrey!!" yells my best friend, Kate.
"Kate!" We run, jump, and hug. Hey, just because I'm heartbroken doesn't mean I'm going to be depressed. Come on, can't let him see the worst, only the best.
"I'm so excited I get to come! I haven't been to a competition in forever!" Kate publicizes, jumping around like a little kid in a candy store. I couldn't help but to laugh at the scene.
"I'm excited you're coming too." I laugh. She suddenly becomes serious and walks over to me, just a tad bipolar like.
"I'll be here for you," she whispers, "you know, if you need me." I smile and nod, knowing she's referring to my boy problems.
"I heart you." I say smiling and making half a heart with my right hand. Kate does the same with her left and completes the heart. "You complete me."
"Aw, I heart you too." She smiles. We laugh and head to the car.

-Third P.O.V.-
"There she is." Ryan Sheckler noted to his best friend Casey, looking over at the petite blonde skater who had just entered. She was with a friend laughing and having a great time.
"Dude, just go talk to her." Casey urges.
"Don't you think I've tried that? She's downright ignoring me." Ryan exclaims, gaining a temper. "Emails, phone calls, I even sent letters!"
"Yeah, but those things are easy to ignore, Ryan. She can't ignore you if you're right in front of her." Casey replies, trying to give hope to the young Sheckler. He hasn't been the same since the girl of his dreams left.
"I'm pretty sure she can if she really wants to, dude." Ryan argues with a weak excuse of a smile.
-Normal P.O.V-
When we got to the competition, one of the first things I see just happens to be Ryan Sheckler. Of course, I, in no way thinking about acknowledging him, walk right by chatting and laughing with Kate. No matter how much it hurt inside.
"So Aubrey, you read for this?" Kate asks me as I put on my hand protectors. Just in case I fall, you know. I'll land on my hands and they'll be unscratched. They look like black gloves with out fingers.
"Heck yes." I state, throwing my long hair in to a fairly messy, but cute, ponytail.
"Well, then get you little, round booty out there. I'm going to go find your mom." Kate mentions before ushering me out the door and running off. I smile, she was so my best friend. I walk to the top of the ramp where the skaters left to go were standing. Thankfully Ryan went earlier. He actually didn't do very well, fell a lot. Something must be on his mind. Better not be me, now after what he did.
"And up next is our little girl, Aubrey Hanes!" comes the announcer. I hear an eruption of cheering. I glance around before the start of my run. I come eye to eye with a certain green pair that I was really hoping to avoid.
- - - -
"You did great!" congratulates my mom, Stacy. I smile.
"Thanks mom." I actually did worse than I expected to, though. But whatever, I just want to leave, get out of this place where I don't want to be.
"I'll be right back mom. I just have to run to my room quick." She nods and I make my way to the little dressing room type thing all the skaters got earlier. As I walk in I realize that I had just seen Kate for the first time since before I skated. She was over by some cute skater guys. Smart girl she is.
I began searching for the reason I came back here. I forgot a necklace. It's silver and in the shape of star. It's my absolute favorite piece of jewelry ever. My grandma gave it to me. I never skate with it, in fear of it breaking.
"Are you looking for this?" I freeze in place and then slowly turn to see the brown-haired, green-eyed boy. I walk over.
"Yeah, thanks." I say almost monotone, before snatching it out of his grasp. I turn for the door, only to be pulled back by the guy I've been trying to avoid for a month.
"Aubrey..." Ryan whispers, softly pulling me towards him. I didn't look up. "Aubrey, please. Let me explain." He pleaded. Tears forming in my eyes, I look up.
"Explain?! Oh, okay. Yeah, I would like to know the reason for you practically destroying everything between us! Not to mention my heart." I whisper the last part. Ryan seems to hear anyway and his eyes fill with regret.
"Aubrey, I'm sorry. I didn't try-" I cut him off practically laughing.
"Oh, you didn't try huh? What did you do then?! Was it just an accident that you were on top of her? Was it just an accident you two were making out? What'd you do; trip and fall, her lips and tongue softening the landing?!" I almost yell, anger and sadness mixing around in me. He looks down, admitting to himself, that with me, this wasn't going to be easy.
"Aubrey," Ryan stresses looking up, directly into my eyes, "I did kiss her and I fully regret it. I was just, I was jealous okay! You're always with guys. 24/7. And you know as well as I do that they hit on you and flirt with you! You're mine! I didn't want those guys around you! I was mad. That girl was just there and we just..." he trails off. Guys are idiots. I walk up to him, tears slowly drifting down my cheeks.
"Ryan, if you were so jealous, you should've just told me. I guarantee you things would have ended extremely different." I proclaim.
"Well, you know now. Why can't we start over?" Sorrow and want were just flowing out of his voice. I shake my head and look back up.
"Ryan, I already gave you my heart once. You didn't take very good care of it. I can't let it happen again. I can't go through another experience like that...no. It hurt too much. I cried too many tears." I admit. Ryan runs his hands through his shaggy hair. "I'm sorry." I turn around and walk towards the door, crying even more tears. That was one of the hardest things to do. Reject the one person you want most.
-One Week Later-
"Aubrey, you're crazy." Kate elaborates over the phone," I would have made up with him then and there. Make out session!" she laughs, trying to cheer me up. Interesting way she goes about that...
"I know, I know." I mutter, looking out the window into the raging thunderstorm.
"Well, I have to go Aubrey. Try not to have too much fun home alone." Kate jokes.
"Don't worry. I don't think that is possible right now."
"Okay, well, see ya."
"Bye." I hang up the phone and make my way to the couch. Maybe a nice nap might get my mind back on track. Ever since my confrontation with Ryan, I can't stop this feeling of me totally screwing up big time. I take a big huge sigh and plop down on the couch. Only to be startled by the doorbell seconds later. Who would be out in this weather? I get up and walk to the front door and open it.
"Ryan? What the hell are you doing? It's storm-" Ryan steps in and pushes me back into the wall, his lips colliding with mine; pouring out everything in him, into this kiss. His soaking wet body pressing into mine. I couldn't help but to be shocked. But I also couldn't help but to kiss back; my hands resting on his chest and his gently on my waist. Love, sadness, want, all emotions running between us. He finally pulls away and more tears erupt from my eyes while looking at the gorgeous boy in front of me.
"I don't want you crying anymore." He reveals to me, wiping away my tears with his thumbs. I stand on my tippytoes, giving in, and kiss him delicately on the lips.
"I am so sorry." I whisper. Ryan pulls me into a loving hug.
"Don't be. I love you and always will. It just took you longer to figure out," he grins, "that you are mine." I kiss him again and return the grin.
"I love you, Ryan Allen Sheckler."
