-goodnight.-
Lili's POV
"W-what?" I say, softly, thinking I heard him wrong.
"You heard me." He says.
"Ryder, I can't do that. It's not easy." I say, looking down.
He hugs me which I didn't expect.
"You can do it. I know you can. Whenever you need someone to talk to, I'm here." He says.
We pull away and he gives me a small smile before walking away.
"You can do it, too." I whisper.
I walked to the ladies room to freshen up a little.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
Can I really do this?
Again, I felt an evil presence when the Mad Heather came in.
She smirked my way.
"You shouldn't get so cozy with Ryder, you know." She says.
"And you care, why?" I retort.
"Because, he's basically engaged." She says, smugly.
-•-
After the newfound information from the Mad Heather, I ignored her and walked out.
When I walked back to the table, Ryder and his date seemed to be having fun together.
He was actually...smiling.
I felt my heart sting a little.
Why are you abusing me you heart?!
I shrugged it off and decided to ask him about his engagement later.
I sat next to Jayden, who was talking with Heather.
I didn't want to interrupt, so I sat there, quietly using my phone.
"Honey, you should go dance." My mom says from behind me with my dad's arms around her.
I smile at her. "I'll go later, mom."
"Have fun." She says before going to the dance floor with my dad, giggling.
I crave that type of love.
"Shall we?" Jayden hold out his hand for me to take.
I grin before putting my hand on his.
He pulls me to the dance floor, both of us giggling.
I put my hands on his shoulder and he puts his arms around my waist.
We sway slowly to the music.
"Do you like Ryder?" He asks.
This question took me by surprise.
"I don't know. Maybe?" I say, shrugging.
Liar.
Shut up.
"Right." He smirks.
I slap his shoulder in a teasing manner.
"Is he...engaged?" I ask, softly.
"So, you do like him!" He exclaims, loudly.
I cover his mouth with my hand.
"Shh!" My eyes widen. "Okay. Maybe I have a teensy little crush on him. Now tell me!"
"You see his date?" He nods towards Ryder and his date dancing.
