What's up, Riley?

Riley Adams 🔥
I just punched the shit out of Mace Baker.

You're kidding.

How did you even see him out? He doesn't live around here.

Riley Adams 🔥
He was walking to the park with Marissa.
Can I please come over?

Olivia 🦋
Stay where you are, I'm coming to pick you up.

My heart stopped. How could Riley be so fucking dumb? Mace and his father weren't people to play with, he was sort of a, " my lawyer will be hearing about this!" Type of guy. An asshole at that. As I drove to the gas station Riley was outside of I remembered the details of our messy break up.

- one summer before, in LA -

" I can't believe you came to visit! I missed you baby!" I cried out to Mace.
" I missed you, Liv." He said as he pulled me in for a side hug.
"Hm. Weird." I thought to myself.
"I have to show you this awesome restaurant downtown but we have to be careful, you know the paparazzi are just so crazy down here." I said while we walked out to my car.
" mhm." He said while looking down at his phone.
" who are you texting, Mace? They surely can't be as interesting as me." I laughed.
" Uh, you remember Natalie from school right? It's her. We're pretty good friends."
" Natalie Halter? Marissa Carson's girlfriend?" I asked while keeping my eyes on the road.
" Yeah, her."
I reached my hand for the stereo and turned on some random Lorde song. He put his hand back up and turned it off, " She sucks." I kept my eyes straight.
We got to dinner and Mace wouldn't even get off his phoneS it was our first date in 7 months.
" Mace, can you please get off your pho-" I was cut off by him getting a FaceTime call. He picked up, wow! Surprising. He never answered my calls.
" Hey, Nat!" He said with an excited tone. Not a fake excited tone either, a real one. I heard it. I kept my eyes on him.
" Ugh, when are you coming home babe? I miss you!" I heard her say on the other line. My eyes got wide and his head jerked up to me.
" I mean Mace, not babe. Sorry dude! Just a mix up" I heard her say from the phone trying to hold back her laughter. My eyes started to welt up with tears, and I grabbed my purse and stormed out. He followed.
" Liv, wait!" I heard him yell, " I can explain!"
I waited until we got outside to turn around, I was crying hysterically.
" you can explain? Explain how you cheated on me?" I screamed.
" Listen, Liv.."
" it's Olivia to you."
" Listen, Olivia, you were gone for months I needed someone.."
" you needed someone, huh? I called you every night you asshole" I pushed him.
" Physically." He said loudly.
" Oh, so you fucked her?" I said still crying but from anger now. He just looked down, without an answer.
" Fuck you, Mace. We are done" I said.
" Liv-"
" It's fucking OLIVIA."
He just looked at me, flushed face.
I heard the cameras behind me, and saw the flash on his face.
" great." I said as I got into my car and drove home. Leaving him in the middle of LA.

~ present time ~

I pulled up to Riley and when he got into the car the first time I did was hug him.
" Thank you, Riley.." I said while crying.
" What- I- you're welcome, Liv.." he said
I raised my head up and kissed him, and he kissed me back.







Authors note
