"Banks, I don't understand the use in us going so far for a club." I said to Banks as we both sat on the soft leather seats of her private jet.
"It's a club opening and yes it's important, Holly invited us. Plus we get free drinks because she put us on the guest list." She said in a matter of fact tone.
It's been a good amount of time since I last saw Riley. It's been almost a year since we actually talked properly.
I'm in my first year of college and it's spring break. Once I got my acceptance letter from Brown, I committed immediately and I was quick to make a note of it.
I hadn't realised that banks and I were accepted to the same college until we were on campus together and moving in together. We shared a dorm. But the dorms at Brown are really good, they look more like apartments than dorms because we have a joined kitchen and lounge with our own bedrooms and bathrooms, which was nice.
After everything with Riley I was worried I'd lose my friendship with Banks, but I didn't. I did however fall out with Fallon for a while.
Banks trusted I'd never do that and asked for my full explanation and ultimately decided I wasn't wrong for saying what I said but Riley had a right to be hurt, especially because she didn't hear the rest of it.
I understood all of that. And if I could take it all back I would.
After graduation I knew it was better if I spent the summer in Brazil, away from everything and so that Riley could go about her day to day life without running into me in spaces. I'd already made her cry so much throughout the school year I didn't want to do more damage during the summer.
I guess you could say I ran.
But when I got back just a week before college, my mom told me Riley came looking for me, which I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. I thought it must have been a good thing because she did come after all but I was scared to do the same.
I had a whole week to go to her door and talk to her, even call her, but I didn't. I was too scared and worried she'd come to mine to tell me I had no right in giving her a letter.
So I chickened out and never went. I made my peace with it and tried to move on, I had a few flings at the start of college and tried to date more people but it just never worked out.
And during the first few days of spring break Banks decided we had to go check out a new club, away from Rhode Island.
Holly even put us on a guest list so we didn't have to wait in line and could just enjoy a few drinks with her.
