Jealous||Rye Beaumont

"Do I not love him then?" I asked, scared for the answer.

"I-I don't know, Em."

"Do you think he'll cheat on me again if I forgive him and give him a second chance?"
She shook her head.

"I doubt he'll do it again."
"Should I give him a second chance then?"

"Yeah...he has good intentions, Em. He would never intentionally hurt you."
"Yeah, I know."
"Good."

"Anyways, how's Andy?"
She shrugged.

"What do you mean?"
"Ever since he left for London, we haven't been talking lately."

I frowned.
"I'm sorry, Liv."

"Eh, it's whatever." She shrugged.

"Well, it's getting late now. I'm gonna go to sleep. Night, Em." she said, leaving.
"Night."

I woke up the next morning with loads of text notification.

I grabbed my phone and replied to Harvey.

H: YO YO
H: Wake upppp
H: cmon, wake uppp
H: dude, it's literally 10 right now.
H: wake up
H: wake up
H: Loren said hiiii
H: I need to talk to you
E: yo

E: what do you need?
H: FINALLY
H: can you come over today?
E: sure, what time?
H: at 12
E: so in a half an hour?
H: yep, see ya there
E: alright, bye

I cleaned myself up and told Olivia I was leaving before calling a taxi.

"Harvey, what do you need me to do?" I asked as I walked through the front door.
"I need you to get the items on our list."
"Okay, do you have the list?"
"Yep, here."

I took the list and scanned over the items.

"Rye! Get down here!" Harvey yelled.

I glared at Harvey and tried to open the front door, but he shut it and Rye appeared. He stood next to Harvey, who was across from me.

We made eye contact again and I felt the butterflies coming back.

He looked a mess, but he still looked perfect.

"Guyss!" Harvey waved his hands in front of our faces.

I turned my attention back to him.

"Can I go now?"
"Hold on. Rye, go get ready to go."

He nodded and went upstairs.

"Now can I go?"
"No. Rye's coming with you."

My eyes widened and I said, "No! Harvey-"
"It's for the best. You two need to make up!"
"Plea-"
"No. He's going with you."

I huffed and crossed my arms.

Rye was driving, but I didn't look at him since he went upstairs to change.

We were in silence.

"Um-"
"Don't even try." I hissed, staring at the window.

I heard him sigh and turn on the radio.

Rye's POV

I turned on the radio...

Can't help but wondering if this is the last time that I'll see your face
Is it tears or just the f-ing rain
Wish I could say something
Something that doesn't sound insane
But lately I don't trust my brain
You tell me I won't ever change
So I just say nothing

No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know, you know, I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back

I remember the freckles on your back
And the way that I used to make you laugh
Cause you know every morning I wake up
Yeah I still reach for you
I remember the roses on your shirt
When you told me this would never work
You know even when I say I've moved on
Yeah I still dream for you

No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you, you know, I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back

You know even when I say I've moved on
You know even though I know that you're gone
All I think about is where I went wrong

You know even when I say I moved on
You know even though I know that you're gone
All I think about is where I went wrong
Yeah I still dream for you

No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know, you know, I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back

Always gonna want you back
Want you back
Always gonna want you back
Want you back

By the end of the song, my chest is already aching. I pulled up into the parking lot and parked the car.

I screwed everything up. I'm a mess. I hurt the girl I loved most. I hurt my world.

I felt a tear fall down my face and quickly wiped it. I looked over at Emma, but she was already staring at me. She looked as if she was ready to cry.

"Emma-"
"Am I causing you pain?"

I stayed silent.

"I-I did. Didn't I?"
"Emma, it's not your fault. I caused you more pain."

"I'm sorry." She looked down at her lap.

I reached over to her and lifted her chin up, so she was looking at me.

"Emma, if anyone needs to apologize, it's me. I caused this. I'm sorry."

She stared into my eyes as I stared into hers.

"Rye, pick a star in the sky."
"That one." I pointed.
"That's a bright one." she said in awe.
"Yeah...you shine brighter though, princess."
"Awe, Rye."
"I love you."
"I love you too." she said kissing me.

"Your eyes are still beautiful." she whispered.
I leaned closer to her until our lips touched.

For the first time in weeks, I felt safe. I felt happy.

Don't let her go now, Rye.
