{Ryley's POV} *Skip to after exams because I'm a terrible writer* "Hey baby" Thomaswalked into the door kissing me while mom was sitting on the couch. "Hey" Thomas is what I call my "Temporary" I don't say I love you, I don't say anything. He's just here to keep me company. I bet your wondering how this all came along. Well, after me and Hunter broke up I started to get really depressed, I cut multiple times and was going to again but then Emily brought over Thomas. He's just there to hold my hand you know? I guess he's a rebound. I hate that I broke up with Hunter. I miss him. I still love him. I miss us.
Hailey is gone. She's in Canada now and already made some new friends.
Now, I bet you're wondering what happened with me, my mom and Jonas. Well, the meeting with the lawyers went well. The next scheduled appointment is in 4 days and then on the first day of summer vacation I have a dinner with Jonas. I can bring a plus one but I don't want to bring Thomas. I wish I could bring Hunter.
Every now and then Hunter texts me and I usually don't respond but today felt like a good day so I did.
Thomas was cuddled up to me when I got the message. Thomas knows about Hunter. He knows he's my rebound. He's okay with that I guess. I'm not by any means saying I can get any guy, it's just that I hate being alone you know? H- Hey Ry. R- Hey Huntie. H- Wow, um.. Hi. How are you? R- Well, not too good but I'm dealing with everything. H- I was wondering if tonight we could meet outside of Starbucks. It has a beautiful view of the sunset. I smiled. I miss him being all romantic. Do you know what? I'm going to tell him about Jonas, if he reacts like he wants to protect me or help I will stop being all dramatic and just suck it up so I can be with him and be truly happy again. If he doesn't care... then I know where I stand I mean, I can't expect him to wait for me. I want him to but I know that's unrealistic. Thomas looked at me and smiled, "I guess this is goodbye" "I guess so. Bye Thomas" He stood up and left just like that. For once in a while I finally felt happy. Everything will turn out okay with Hunter and a boy that didn't even like me is now gone. It's just... perfect. It's so nice to just know that everything will be okay you know? I know what you're thinking "How can you go from breaking up with Hunter to forgiving him?" Well, I need him. No matter how much I want to deny it... I need him. I'm going through something right now and I finally know that it will blow over so I'm ready. I'm ready to be okay finally, but to do that, I need Hunter. I need his smile, his touch, his eyes, his lips, his hair. I need him. I need.. Us. I asked mom to help me pick out something to wear since it is supper time and he said he wanted to meet at 6:30, so in about a hour.
Mom was definitely against Thomas, she hated him and has always loved Hunter. When I told her about me and Hunter meeting up again tonight, she was ecstatic.
Mom of course agreed. We went up into my bedroom and started looking for some clothes.
Eventually we picked a final outfit.( #1)

Mom sat on my bed while I tried it on to see if it looked nice. When I came out mom nearly screamed. "Ryley, you're so beautiful" She pulled me in close. I don't think so but thanks anyways mom. "Now for hair and makeup. Okay so let's just leave your hair naturally curly. And for makeup-" I cut her off. "No makeup. Hunter hates me wearing makeup, oh and I have to get his sweater and put it on too" I smiled sniffling a bit. "Awe darling, everything will be okay, even though you guys didn't celebrate your birthdays" Mom smiled trying to get me laughing. "I hope so. If everything works out then we will celebrate them over the summer." I chuckled and started to walked downstairs with mom to eat our take-out Chinese food. Half n hour
I opened my fortune cookie, it read A chance for love is on its way Lucky numbers: 18, 2, 4, 17
I looked over the numbers one more time. Those are all of mine and Hunters lucky numbers. His is 18, 4 and 17 and mine are 18, 2 and 4. I think everything will be okay.
10 Mins I took a deep breath and left the house. Everything will be okay Ryley, I know it. I smiled gently to myself. I know it..
