Wishes of a Teenage Fangirl

Chapter 28

Riley's hands glide along the white piano in her room. She sat on the seat matching the piano. She pressed one key...then another...soon she was playing a song and singing.

Come on skinny love just last the year,
Pour a little salt we were never here,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.

Tell my love to wreck it all,
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Right in the moment this order's tall.

And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And in the morning I'll be with you,
But it will be a different kind,
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets,
And you'll be owning all the fines.

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split.

And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches,
And at the end of all your lines.

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my.

(Skinny Love by Bridy)

Tears fall onto the keys and her hands. Slowly falling to the floor. She buries her face into her hands. Sobbing quietly to herself.

Someone's hand touches her shoulder. She looks up from her hands, tears streaming down her face. She sees Steve Rogers. Without thinking she wraps her arms around his neck and sobs.

"I'm so worried Steve, I'm worried she'll never come back," she mumbles.

Ren's POV

I walk back into the forest and sit under the tree. I stare at the stars in the sky. Like at blanket of inky blackness with holes poked in it.

Snap

My head peers around the tree. I see a figure of a person.

"Who's there," I ask.

"It's just me," I hear Newts voice.

"Don't scare me like that," I say. He walks over and sits next to me. I hit his shoulder. He gives me a look of fake hurt.

"What was that for," he says.

"For sneaking up on me ya shank," I say with a smile. He smiles back.

"How was day one greenie," he asks.

"Well, technically on day one I chucked oranges at all of you then got hit in the head," I say. Newt rubs the back of his neck.

"What," I ask.

"That was me," He says. I glare at him.

"You chucked an orange at my head," I point to myself then him and jab his chest, he nods, "Not okay. You have to pay."

" I have to pay," he says.

"Yes," I cross my arms.

"Who was chucking the bloody things in the first place," he says laughing a little.
