My bros best friend

"Reed, can I talk to you?" I say looking into Ryders room.

"Sure. Everything okay?"

"I'm not sure." Reed gets up and we go into my room. "I miss my mom." I say shutting the door.

"Then why don't you go over talk to her?"

"I'm afraid she's not going to talk to me. The only way is if I'm not with you."

"Riles, what are you saying?"

"I don't want to, but I miss my mom."

"Riley, don't do this. There are other ways."

"Reed I'm sorry. I don't want to, but I need my mom. It's not permanent, I promise." I say grabbing Reeds hands. He leans in and kisses me. "I will see you at school tomorrow." I open my door and Reed walks out.

"I will always love you." Reed walks back into Ryder's room. I go an get into my car and go to my moms house.

*Reeds POV*

I walk back into Ryder's room and sit down on the couch.

"Everything okay?" Ryder asks pausing the game.

"She... She broke up with me."

"What? Why? She loves you."

"Because she wants her mom back."

"Oh man, I'm sorry. What else did she say?"

"That it's not permanent."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I have no clue."

"I'll be right back." Ryder says heading to the garage.

*Rileys POV*

I got in my car and sat for a minute. I felt tears start to form, and then they start streaming down my face. I heard a knock on my window and its Ryder. I roll down my window and wipe away a tear.

"Riley, don't do this to your self." He says leaning on the door.

"Ryder you don't understand. It's for the best."

"I know you want mom back. I get it. But why don't you try and figure something else out with her? This is going to make you and Reed miserable."

I sat there and thought about what he said.

"She's made it clear she doesn't want anything to do with me as long as I'm with Reed."

"Does that sound like someone who you really want to be around?"

"She's our mom Ryder. It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does." He puts his hand on my shoulder.

"I have to go." I say looking down.

"Where you going?"

"Moms." Ryder rolls his eyes and walks back inside.

"Drive careful." I pull out of the garage and take off for my moms.

I pull into the garage and go inside.

"What are you doing here?" My mom says turning around and looking at me.

"Am I not aloud to come to my moms?"

"I already told you."

"Well lucky for you, I broke up with him."

"I'm glad you chose me over him."

"Ya. Ok."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. You just don't care about what I want. I want my mom back, but I also want my boyfriend back."

"He's your step-brother."

"You're barely even my mom."

"Watch it."

"I just want my mom back, but I guess that will take a while." I walk up to my room and call Ryder and tell him what happened.
