Baylor's POV

My heart was pounding inside of my chest. Looking around wildly I felt someone cover my mouth with there hand. I screamed but it was muffled by the hand on my mouth. It didn't feel like a guys hand. More like a girl. I was pressed against a back and I knew it was a girl. I knew I could probably break free so I elbowed her in the ribs and she screamed. Turning around I had to blink. "Adele?" I asked.

"I'm so sorry I had to I couldn't find you and I needed to talk to you to see if you were okay and I don't know why I just did that," she exclaimed all in one breath.

"Okay I have to go now," she exclaimed and ran into the woods.

What. The. Actual. Hell.

When I got back to Reid he was talking to his parents so I decided to be a ninja, you know because that's what normal people do in situations. "It isn't fair to her, mom. I can't have her hurt. I need to break up with her," Reid said and I swear I saw tears in his eyes.

It was hard to tell because I was hiding in the bushes. He was breaking up with me? How could he? "Reid Jev Daniel Ortega," I stated calmly.

He slowly turned his head to me and closed his eyes, "He'll hurt you."

"I don't care," I stated firmly gripping his face.

"I do care," he exclaimed, "I'm not going to let you risk yourself for me."

"No I am staying here," I demanded.

"Stop being so needy," he whispered harshly, "You can't even function without me. That is so sad don't you know that?"

My heart felt like it had been kicked around by MMA fighters. "Fine," I whispered hating the way it felt on my tongue.

"Fine?" He questioned with a sharp edge.

"Fine," I spoke louder, "We are done then. Your a coward."

With that I got up and walked through the cemetery. When I got to the entrance I started walking. He drove me here so I had to find a different way home. Walking there was a car pulling up to me and the window pulled down. Ryder was sitting there with a small smile on his face. "What's up sugarplum?" He asked while I was quiet, "Are you okay?"

I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face, "No."

"Awe sugarplum. Come here," he said and gestured to the car.

Hiccuping I slide into the car and Ryder held my hand, "What's wrong?"

"He broke up with me," I said between sobs.

Ryder's voice just made me break down completely. "That hoe," he stated, "I never liked him."

Laughing slightly I looked up to see Ryder with a smile at his feat. He started the car and started driving away. He would look at me every couple of seconds to see if I was okay. Barely managing a weak smile each time Ryder would try to cheer me up a lot but it rarely ever worked. When he pulled into my house he rounded the car and picked me up in his arms. "Your going to be okay, Sugarplum," he spoke softly.

"How do you know?" I asked.

He sighed, "All guys can kill you without even knowing it. I have the privilege to like them as well. But you don't need anyone sugar. You don't need a man to be happy."

Nodding I nuzzled my head into his chest. "Hey. It's going to be okay," he sad into my ear.

"No it's not," I murmured.

He opened the door to my house and my dad was standing there first with an impatient look on his face and then it turned murderous. "What are you doing with my daughter?" He demanded.

"He's gay relax," I chuckled slightly.

My dad's tensed shoulders relaxed a little. "Her jackass of an ex boyfriend hurt her," Ryder said before I could stop him.

My dad's fists clenched. "Oh really?" He asked in a sickeningly sweet way that even scarred me.

"It's okay sir I'll deal with it," Ryder nodded.

"Are you sure?" My dad asked him sharply.

"Yes," he said determinedly, "But right now you need to get me icecream and seasons 1 through 3 of supernatural stat."

My dad nodded and went off to the kitchen. "Where's your bedroom?" He asked.

"Oh Ryder you have to at least buy me dinner first," I spoke bantering.

He chuckled before asking me again and then I told him it was up the stairs so he complied and started up the stairs. He turned to my room and laid me down on my comforter. Turning on my tv he went downstairs to get something. A couple of minutes later he returned with supernatural and a 4 litre tub of Neapolitan icecream. "Let's start this bitch," he stated and put in the DVD.

By episode 10 it was 4:00 in the morning and I was still on the edge of my seat. When it was finally over I turned off the tv and grabbed shorts and a t-shirt. Ryder slid off his jeans and shirt and just because he was gay doesn't mean that he didn't look good because damn. "My eyes are up here sugarplum," he said.

I couldn't help but think about Reid but I pushed him to the back of my mind. I went into the bed and curled up next to Ryder, a few tears were running down my cheeks and Ryder didn't talk, he just rubbed circles on my back.

"I believe in you," he said softly.

That's when I let the exhaustion take over and roll over me in a thick blanket of darkness.

****

Waking up and feeling someone next to you was definitely an odd and uncomfortable feeling. Me and Ryder were spread out unevenly, he was hogging the sheets and I had my leg on his upper torso. "How the hell did we manage this?" Ryder spoke my thoughts out loud.

Chuckling slightly I replied, "I have absolutely no idea."

When we did our morning routine it was awkward at first but Ryder stayed at my place for the whole weekend and by the time Monday rolled around we had a whole morning routine together and ready. I could smile, it was fake but I could do it. "You ready?" Ryder asked as he drummed his fingertips on the steering wheel.

"Not even close," i stated as we pulled into the schools parking lot.

"Let's go sugarplum," Ryder smiled meekly at me.

Nodding we both got out of the car and people were whispering about me. They turned and stared. "Oh they are already broken up? Can't say I didn't see that coming?"

"Reid probably just humped and dumped her."

Taking deep breaths I clutched Ryder's hand tightly and he squeezed back lightly. When we were about to pass Reid and Lance I saw that Reid had bags under his eyes and he didn't look very good. Fuck him. Fuck him for being a coward. Just. Fuck. Him.

Wiley ran to me and picked me up hugging me, "I'm so sorry I couldn't be there! I'm such a horrible friend! I can't believe he did that!"

"He's such a bastard right?" Ryder asked.

Wiley nodded in agreement. "Thanks guys," I said barely cracking a smile.

"Oh first I had to do a job for your dad," Ryder said with a wicked smile and jogged over to where Reid was.

Oh shit. Well the bastard had it coming. Ryder just walked to him, looked him dead in the eye and punched him in the eye and then in the cheek. "If you ever come near her again I will kill you," Ryder threatened.

He turned and walked towards me, smiling and he and Wiley took either hand as we walked into hells gates.

Also known as school.

"Thanks Ry," I let out an actual smile. It felt good.

"Any time, sugarplum," he smiled at me, "But we have to get to class."

Nodding in agreement I went with him to our next class and then I realized that I had to dance with Reid.

Well shit.

DONT HATE ME!

I KNOW I HAVE SINNED. IM SORRY BUT EVERY REALATIONSHIP HAS BREAKUPS AND THIS ACTUALLY HURT TO WRITE. I WILL POST THE NEXT UPDATE TOMORROW OR MONDAY. THANKS LOVELIES!
